chapter 5

The library was really the best place to be alone, it was almost empty ,so me sobbing out my pain on this hard wooden desk was not going to be noticed by anyone .A part of me wished I had someone to comfort me and tell me that everything will be fine but part of me just wanted to be alone, I couldn't believe Taylor, why will she bring up such a delicate issue and for Ethan to back her up, now I look like I fucking bullied my friend, getting stains on my record, I sobbed hard forcing everything out.

"Hey love, what making you cry so much," someone with a thick British accent said,

I raised up my head to see a dark brown-haired boy with a chiseled yet soft facial features accompanied with green eyes and pink lips looking at me with concern filled eyes. I couldn't even find my damn voice ,I just kept staring like I was expecting him to read my mind.

"hey are you going to tell we what's wrong or keep looking at me with those teary eyes "he joked about my state.

"I am fine, it's fine, "I said wiping my tears

Thank goodness am not wearing any makeup, I would have definitely looked like penny wise right about now.

"I can tell from your large sobs which I heard all the way from the other side of the library, you are not fine, "he said bringing a handkerchief to wiping my tears he reached out to touch my face but I moved away

"blimey am not going to kill you with a handkerchief, "he said laughing at me

I pouted at him which caused him to laugh further, the way he laughed made me want to smile and I was starting to forget why I was crying in the first place, I actually started to enjoy his care. He reached up again to wipe away the tears after he controlled his laughter

"there you go you, now I can see that beautiful face clearly now, "he said with a smile

"thank you but I know I look like I got hit by a truck, "I said still in a muffled voice

"yeah you do, those puffy eyes and your red face gives it away "he said

"hey! " I exclaimed with a small smile ,not expecting him to say that.

" you didn't let me finish ,"he said raising up his hand, I nodded waiting for him

"but doesn't mean you don't look any less beautiful, so tell me what's making you cry, "he said with a comforting smile

making me want to open up, just thinking of everything made me cry harder. almost like a reflex action, he pulled me into a hug

"hey is okay you don't have to tell me now, "he said stroking my hair

"I'm so sorry I'm getting your shirt wet," I said in between sobs

"love don't worry about it, just let it out "he laughed probably at my childish behavior

After some time, I finally got a grip on myself I decided to let go and see patty ,she must be freaking out by now. He gave me one last big hug before letting me go. While still holding unto me by my shoulders he asked me if I was all good and asked me for my number.

"what for, "I said slightly smiling

"To give you a ring later, of course, I want to know whats making such a beauty cry "he smiled at me.

after I gave him, he told me he wished he could stay longer but he needed to get his classes sorted out.

"wait, what is your name ?"I called out, he stopped and turned back.

" I'm Charlie, he said with a smile, holy I didnt even notice all the British words and accent,

yeah I'm the new kid see you around Elle, keep that smile up for me he winked at me,
