Best thing ever ♡

♡♡ THIRTY ♡♡

Charlotte's p.o.v. . .

Things have been great since the day Zayn and I confessed our feelings to each other. We had become kind of inseparable since then. We spend most of our time together either at his place or mine. I even told sebastian about it and he was super happy for us.

And as far as things are concerned with uncle Alec,  he hasn't bothered me much since the first day he got here.

But i try to stay as far as possible from him.

Since the day Uncle Alec arrived, I've been leaving for school early in the morning before he wakes up and after school, I spend my time either at Zayn's house or Sebastian's house.

Oh how lucky I am to have found these two guys! I don't know what I would've done without them.

And I think uncle Alec has got the hint that I'm not afraid of him anymore and there is nothing he can do about it and so he has decided to stay away from me.

But I still wonder what made him come here in the first place - my mom's house or he really did miss me.

It couldn't be the latter one obviously. How stupid am I to even think that way!

Whatever it is, I'm not scared of him anymore. I have no reason to be. I could easily call the cops if he tries something sinister.

Thinking all this to myself I drove to my house after school as i overheard uncle Alec talking to Tyler this morning saying that he wouldn't be home till late night as he has some important meeting to attend.

I killed the engine as I reached the driveway of my house.

Uncle Alec ' s car was nowhere to be seen in the driveway and so I let out a sigh of relief.

I quickly made my way to the main door and unlocked it.

I stepped into the house and headed straight to the kitchen to grab a bite of a little something.

I picked up an apple from the fruit basket and began munching on it and that was the moment when I heard footsteps near the staircase.

Then a few moments later, Uncle Alec stepped into the kitchen.

I stopped chewing the piece of apple in my mouth and froze in my spot.

What the hell is he doing here when he said it in the morning that he had an important meeting to attend at this time!? I thought to myself and that's when realization struck me. He had tricked me!

He wouldn't talk to tyler about where he's gonna go to if he's  gonna go outside the house otherwise. He knew it that I was listening. He wanted me to think that he's not home and so that was the only way he could get me home after school when no one's around.

Shit! How could I not see through his trick!? I thought to myself.

He had an evil smirk plastered on his face as he spoke to me

"Finally you're home!" He said inching closer to me and I took a step back.

"I - I thought that.... t-that no one's home" I stammered taking a few more steps back and now my back was in contact with the refrigerator at the end of the kitchen.

"You're sadly mistaken of you thought that dear!" He said making a fake sad face and I cringed at the last word.

"W - what do you w - want? " I asked him shakily.

Why was I stammering and shaking when I knew that he wouldn't be able to do anything to me!? I thought.

I am strong and independent and I even took karate lessons back in LA. And with that thought, I stood up straight with confidence as if nothing in this world could hurt me and I wasn't even sure if he would try to hit me in my own house.
