Chapter 73: "I don't want to be friends with you."

-CHARLES-

"No. Actually I think she could need a little help. She hasn't left the house since yesterday." Mrs. Miller informs me.

I decided to pay Amanda a visit, cause the war began. -I won't lose. That's for sure... But hearing her being stuck in her room, is strange... I don't like this feeling... She might be an introvert, but I don't think she's this much of an introvert. -

"May I take her out?" I ask and Mrs. Miller smiles.

"Of course you can! Just make sure she comes home earlier, not like yesterday." -Shit...-

"Yesterday?" I raise my eyebrows. I tried to swallow my surprise, but my voice deceives me.

She nods. "Yes. She went out with Blake and came home around 10pm." -That late! What the fuck happened?! I swear, I'm going to kill that son of a bitch!-

I can feel my anger crawling inside of me and it's getting harder for me to keep calm. I walk up the stairs as soon as I get the permission.

-AMANDA-

-EMBARRASSING!!!! GAAAHHH!!!! ...You might think, what is up with her? Well, yes I'm a sick person! I can't believe I said that!!!-

Blake asked me, what Raven and Charles are to me. And then he added himself as well... With out thinking it through, I immediately told him that I see them as "friends".

-AAAHH!!! WHY!? WHY DO I FEEL SO GUILTY FOR LYING!!!.... Did I lie tho?!-

Thankfully, Blake just laughed and pat my head. But his smile didn't match his eyes. It had a slight pain in it... I felt that...

We spent the rest of the day, laughing about some of Blake's squad stories, his weird childhood and stepbrother Jeff. -I like the fact that he is getting along with Jeff. I mean, Jeff is a good guy.-

A knock appears on my door, interrupting me from my thoughts. I forcefully open it and spot Charles, literally standing infront of me. -Oh me...-

His usual colgate smile curves up from his lips. His strong scent flows into my nostrils. -WHY DOES HE LOOK SO PERFECT?! OH MY GOSH!!! HOW DO I LOOK RIGHT NOW?! I MUST LOOK LIKE A MESS!!!- "Hey-"

"Sorry! Just give me a minute!" I quickly shut my door and lock it. I feel bad for doing this so, but in order to save him from cringing so bad, I need to fix myself.

-What? It's not like in the movies. Everyone looks good, no matter what they did before. Soaked with rain, dirt or whatsoever, they'd still pass as models on the red carpet!... However, this is real life we're talking about! I look like a mess!-

Once I'm done, wearing my outdoor clothes, which is just a plain grey tee and black Jeans, I open the door. To my surprise I catch Charles still waiting. -He looks breath taking beautiful, just by staring at the floor!- Suddenly our eyes meet, making my face heat up.

"You look amazing." He says with his remaining genuine smile. -I feel so bad for shutting the door infront of him.-

To prevent myself from stuttering, I swift my braid to the side and gently tug on it. -I do it, whenever I'm nervous. I'm not perfect, ya know?-
" Thank you. You look great aswell- I mean, as always!"

-Gawd! Why?!...-

He chuckles and hands his right hand out. "This might be spontaneous, but I thought we should spend time together." A slight of pink shade pops on his cheek. -Aww, cute!-
