All The Right Moves- Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Charlie

Waking up the next morning, I felt my head throbbing like I had just been hit by a truck.

Popping my pain meds, I tossed and turned in my bed until the pain subsided.

It wasn't until another two hours when I finally felt my head ease.

I looked over at the clock and noticed it was just after noon.

It was way passed morning yet I found that my lack of sleep to be an acceptable reason to stay in bed this late.

I propped open the door and noticed Drew was nowhere in sight.

Looking into his bedroom I saw that his bed was made neatly, as if he never slept in it last night.

I decided to shower and freshen up as I knew I had to face a good amount of hurdles today.

I had realized my reaction yesterday was unfair.

Blake and Ethan were only going with what they thought was best.

If anything they had been taking care of me more than anybody.

Drew especially, I felt that my reaction was a bit too harsh on him.

Truly knowing Drew, I knew that this wasn't his decision but that he regretted ever going with it now with how I reacted.

My heart broke for Wesley.

He had passed in the utmost worst way but I needed answers.

I needed to know how I coped, and what had happened after his death.

Making my way out to the house, I entered through the kitchen door.

I was greeted to the smell of food filling the air in my lungs.

All eyes were on me and I shot them all an awkward smile.

I knew they were waiting on me to speak first.

I sat at the table and put myself some juice.

Taking a sip, I realized that everyone was still gawking intently.

"You can all quit your stares, you all do realize it's creepy right?" I stated.

That got a chuckle from Ethan.

"How are you feeling today?" Drew asked first.

I nodded, "Head hurt this morning but I'm good as new." I lied.

Blake shot me a 'shut that a*s up' look that told me she wasn't buying it.

"I'm okay." I stated truthfully.

I wasn't good but I wasn't awful either.

I was grateful I was alive.

Some weren't.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry to all of you for how I acted yesterday. I was shocked and you guys were in the line of fire. Truly, I'm not upset with any of you. I'm just upset at this situation," I told them honestly.

Drew shot me a sorrowful expression.

As much as I meant my apology, I could tell he still felt like sh*t because of how I acted with him.

I felt guilty.

I didn't even realize that he had lost the game until I was browsing through my computer late last night.
