This scene may upset some people so you Can skip down to where you see Charlie's name in bold.
Opening my eyes I see the man I wished I would never see again. Tears come to my eyes and my hands go up to take his hands off from my neck. My tossing and turning didn't all that much either to take him off of me. I push on his face and try to make him let go of my neck as well but my attacks are useless.
"Oh don't be like that Charlotte. You know you miss me doll face." He says laughing. His breathe hits me hard. He's been drinking. He's not a good drunk either. I have to call for help. I have to yell for Landon. As much as I despise that idea I have to, if I wanna leave here alive.
I push against his arms almost telling him to let go and I'll listen and cooperate with him. He gives me a glare and loosens his hands and I take in a much needed breath. He laughs and his toxic air consumes me. I cough and breathe as much fresh air as I could before he pushed me down again.
"I've missed you so much. I've watched you for a while now. You looked so hot coming out of the bathroom this morning too." He leans down and runs his nose up and down my face and neck. I just cry and continue to hold onto his wrists. He moves one hand and my eyes go wide. He slaps me and I cry out as much as I could.
My cheek throbs along with my left side of my face. His hand goes down and picks up my gown and I try to stop him. I don't want this. I never wanted this. He stops and grabs my hands with his and pins them. I pull and manage to hit him in the nose and call for Landon. He pulls my hair and I cry out for Elliot as well. I hope they can hear my cries.
"Nice hit." He slaps me three times and I go silent. All that is heard is my silent crying and his hard breathing. "We're going to have some fun. Just like last time." I shake my head no and he just laughs. "Don't be like that now. I've got a surprise for you now too." He pulls out a bandana and ties it around my mouth. "There you go. Now we can have fun." I hit his chest and try to push him off and he just blocks and grabs my hands and slaps me once more. "Stop or else this will be harder for you."
He ties one of my hands to the bed post and the other is free. I just continue to cry. I can't do anything, he's stronger and bigger than me. His hands go down my body again and I cry out to him to stop. He laughs and starts to pick up the gown. I cry and try to push him away with my legs but he sits on them. He picks the gown up and groans when he sees my underwear.
"I've missed you so much." He leans down and kisses my stomach and I shiver in disgust. He smiles and bites my side. I whimper and he laughs more. I pulls out a knife and tears my underwear off. He pulls them away and he puts the knife back up. While he was doing that I pull down the bandana as much as I could and yell for Landon and Elliot once again.
He looks back at me and snarls at me. He pulls his hand back and hits me more. I cry out and I hear his belt come undone. This is it. This is how I'm going. Good bye Landon.
Landon
I hear my name again and know it Charlie. I quickly grab my pistol and run to the house. On the way I see Elliot run next to me. Did he hear her cries as well? The door was closed so we had to look for the damn key. I didn't want the situation to get worse. We had to be quiet and save her.
Once the door was open we make our way up stairs and hear her cries. I open the door slowly and see a man on top of her. Who the fuck is this man and how did he get here? Elliot pulls out his gun and aims it at the man. I look down at Charlie and she has her eyes closed crying. My baby.
I jump and tackle him on the ground. He's stunned and then gets back to. Before he could do anything I start hitting him. Punch after punch goes to his head and sides. My fists hurt but I can't stop. He hurt her, and who know's what else he's done to her. He's paying right now with me. He'll pay more later.
I hear my name being called and then I feel a hand pull my shoulder. I stop and look back. Its Elliot and he's saying something to me. I squint my eyes and shake my head. Everything is a blur. I can't see straight and I can't hear anything. I blink a few times and his voice reaches my ears.
"Take care of Charlie." is all I needed to hear from him I get off of the guy and go straight to her. She's in bed crying holding the sheets up to her chin. I slowly make my way to her and tell her it's me. She looks up and meets my eyes. She looks away and cries harder. Oh no my baby. What did he do to you.
I sit down and gather her in my arms. By this time, Elliot, Ace, and John have taken care of the man, and left us alone. I'm not sure if she wanted me here, but I'm not sure she wanted to be alone either. I wasn't going to leave her alone until she told me to leave.
She let me carry her, and hold her in my arms. Her head lay on my chest crying. I just rocked us, and rubbed her back. I would kiss her head, temple, and cheek every so often, and tell her it was all over. Her crying came down as we stayed like this. I kiss her head again and I felt her look up at me.
I look down and see what he did to her. She gulps and looks back down and cries harder. I hold her to me tighter and kiss her head again. I should have been here earlier.
"It's okay sweet heart. It's over." She shakes her head and I frown. "What's wrong sweet heart, tell me please. I can't fix it if you don't tell me."
"Fix me." she says looking up. "Fix. Me."
Charlie
"I'll fix what ever you want." He hold me tight and kisses my head. I sniffle and put my arms around his neck. I hold hug him with everything with me. I just want him. I just wanted to be happy. I look up at him again and remove my arms and grab his hand. He looks at my movements and follows them carefully.
I place his hand over my right cheek and just look at him. Pleading him to fix me through are eyes.
"Don't hate me please." He frowns and shakes his head.
"Why would I hate you? You. Did nothing wrong. Please don't feel like this, it breaks me seeing you like this. We'll get through this together. I promise sweet heart." I nod my head and he pecks my lips. A soft sweet kiss, sealing our promise.
"Will you stay here with me? I don't want to be alone."
"I'll stay with you for as long as you want. Do you want water or anything? New pair of clothes?" I shake my head and just hug him.
"I just want you."
"You have me." I close my eyes and he moves us so we're laying down face to face. He pulls me close to him and wraps us in the blanket. "Sleep. I'll be right here." I nod and kiss his chest and start to cry a little more. He just repeats the process. Rock us, rub my back and tell me everything is okay. After sometime I go to sleep, him holding on to me tightly.
Waking up I nuzzle my pillow but it hurts. Why does my face hurt? I touch it and wince, I open my eyes and see that Landon was my pillow. Everything starts coming back. I get up carefully and look down at him. He looks so peaceful. He has frown lines though. I grab a pillow and put it in my place. I go to the bathroom and lock the door.
I look down at my feet and step in front of the mirror. Do I want to look? Yes. Do I want to look? No. I look up slowly and see my face. I look away quickly and my eyes nose prickle. I sink down to the floor and lean on the tub. Tears come down. I go to touch my lip but shoot my hand back quickly from the little touch I did, it caused me pain.
I pull my knees up and cry silently. I don't want to let him know that I'm awake and here. I don't want him to see me like this. I don't want anyone to see me like this. Weak, and ugly. That's he made me feel like all the time. That's what he did to me last night.
Two taps on the door startled me out of my thoughts. I pull my knees tighter against me and look up over them. They knock again and I hear them sigh.
"Sweet heart open the door. It's just me I promise." No, I don't want you to see me. "Come on sweet heart open the door for me. I'll close my eyes. Just let me know your okay in there." I'm not okay. "I swear I'll break down the door Charlie, please open it for me sweet heart." Please don't. "That's it."
Two hits in and the door comes down. I hide my face and just stay and hope he doesn't see me. Don't look down please. I feel his hands on my arms and I tense a little.
"Don't do that with me sweet heart." You'll hate me. "It hurts me to see you like this. Didn't we say I'll fix you. I can't do that if you won't let me in." You can't fix me. "If you don't look up at me I swear I'll put you over my knee. I didn't and don't want to right now but I will if I have to." My eyes go wide and I peek up at him through my knees and hair.
He gives me a small smile and moves my hair back. I sniffle and he reaches out to me, asking if he could hold me. I nod my head and pulls me to him. My legs go around him and so do my arms. I want to rub my self on him, but I can't. It hurts.
"Don't close your self off to me. It hurts that you don't trust me." I cry into his chest and tell him I'm sorry. He rubs my back soothing me telling me it's okay and not to do it again. I feel one hand touch my cheek and I want to look up at him but I don't want him to see me like this. I'm ugly.
"Please." He says softly. I pull away from his chest and look at him tears quickly coming to my eyes when I see him, and he sees me. Both hands cup my face and I go to look away but he hold my face still gently. "You are beautiful. You are strong. You are caring. You are so many things but ugly. Please don't think other wise." I tear comes down but he wipes it away. He leans in and kisses me softly. I whimper and he shoots back looking over me. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." He smiles and hold me close to him. I start to hum the tune 'You Are My Sunshine' and he follows along.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away."
We sat there in the bathroom floor singing 'You Are My Sunshine.' Sometime later he lets me get up and take a shower and he does the same after. We lay in bed together and sleep, eat, talk, and repeat. Not once did he complain or ever leave me alone. I didn't want him to either.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Heyy ya'll. Happy update!!! So I'm just gonna say it. I cried my eyes out with this chapter. Only book I've done this with already. Second time is the charm lol.
Tell me what ya think? You sad? Happy? Mad?
What do you think about Landon? He did pretty good if I say so myself.
Soooo the song up top is the song I listened to the WHOLE time I wrote this chapter. THE WHOLE TIME. Even right now as I write my note. It's a good song.
If you feel like your not pretty or not good enough YOU ARE. Just because someone says your not doesn't mean they're right. The person that said that is ugly themselves. Punch them in the throat if you have to. Just kidding don't do that. (I would though....kidding again..or am I...) You are BEAUTIFUL, SEXY, GORGEOUS, KIND, FUNNY and everything more.
