Adopted by Emma Watson.

This frickin 'woman, she had a whole boyfriend, and forgot to tell either of us about the other. How do you- never-mind that, what really got me was freaking OLIVIA. Her reaction to this whole thing, made it so much easier to process.

Here's exactly what she said, "Well as the most famous ice queen, she once said, and I can quote, let it go, so letting him go might not be so bad," she smiled at the stressed Emma. Olivia, I mental face palmed, Emma chuckled a bit, guessing it was worth it.

"I swear someone needs to take that movie from you," I said, sitting down on one of the chairs.

"You aren't m-mad at me?" Emma asked, looking at me.

"No. Why would I be mad? You have- had a boyfriend, you would've told me eventually," I said, drinking the water on the counter. "Anyways, me and Olivia have presents to wrap, soo, see ya," I got up from the chair and bolted up the stairs. Olivia gives Emma a smile before following.

"Keep her in line," Emma asked, Olivia nodded. After we made it to my- rather big room- we plopped down on my- way too big of a- bed and dumped our bags on it.

"Are you staying over for the rest of the break?" I asked, looking over at Olivia, she just nodded while stuffing her face with chocolates. "Sorry, forgot you smashed that dude with an ice cream cone," I laughed.

"She did what?" Emma asked, I perked up.

"Um- nothing," I turned around, giving her a smile, "we were talking about how hot you were- how hot this girl was that wanted our numbers," real smooth Charlotte.

"Yeah. This girl, her name was- was um Emma, no her name was- I can't remember," Olivia spoke, well I guess we were both flustered.

"Wow. It doesn't sound like nothing," Emma said, sitting beside Olivia. I could tell Olivia was freaking out inside.

"No, No really there was this group of girls at the mall, they thought Olivia was cute, they wanted her number, we just never- um got their names," I admitted. Emma picked up one of the chocolates on the bed. I gulped.

"Charlie, don't give me all the credit, you were walking around the mall shirtless, that alone-" she stopped talking as soon as Emma's gaze focused on me. I covered my face with my hand, this in fact did not happen, not even once. "What? It is, if I wasn't your best friend I would've totally hit it- wait never-mind, haha I'm just kidding totally," Olivia laughed, looking between the both of us. "Charlie you have a stain on your shirt."

"Oh crap, one second," I got up, removing the shirt as I stood up.

"Jesus," Olivia muttered.

"Olivia it's not that-"

"No, what the hell?" Emma stood up, lightly grazing my back, it sent shivers down my spine. Now I figured they weren't talking about my back.

"It's not funny, is Emily on my back?" I asked, turning to face Emma, she looked pale. "What is it?"

"It's nothing, it's just a bruise," Olivia spoke first. Now Emma's silence made all the sense in the world. "Emma, it's just a bruise," Olivia reached for Emma's hand, grabbing it softly.

"Emma I am okay, see, it doesn't even hurt when you touch it, it was just from pressure," I spoke, trying to ease her nerves, it wasn't working. I gave Olivia a look, and she left the room. I turned to face Emma, "Emma, I mean it, I am fine."

"B-but it wouldn't have-" I cut her off, grabbing her lightly shaking hands.

"I am fine. Trust me, it was a moment the memories came flooding back, it wasn't anything you could've done, it wouldn't have happened at some point. I am fine," I spoke softly looking at her.

She didn't say anything, she looked lost, she must've loved him, but my face and reaction must've shaken her. I brought her into a hug, this is why I fucking hate holidays.
