Bab 3: Charlie
I rush into room 418 still pulling Aunt Meline. "You can stop dragging me now," Melanie says. "Mhhhm," I hear from the other side of the room. Charity rolls over. "Charlie?" she asks. I freeze for second processing what she just said. Then I rushed over and start crying and holding her in a tight embrace. "Oh my god Charity you're alive," I say almost jumping out of my skin. "I'm fine," she says. I see slits on her wrists. Something's up, I'm not gonna ask here and now. I'll come back tomorrow. Charity wouldn't lie, right? I don't know anymore.
I've known Charity for years. We never really talked though. This year we kinda realized we clicked. We've been talking for a couple of months. Now I know why we never really spoke. She had Rosy with her. Rosy was her best friend for like ever. They were in the same kindergarten class so, it was a good thing they stayed friends like that. They always were together so I never really had time to talk with her anyway. I had Sarah before she moved. We also weren't in classes together, we never were forced to talk to each other. I don't really care about any of that though cause I, here for her now. I just really, really don't want anyone to hurt her.
Next day
About two weeks after Charity's "accident" I go to visit her. I'm on my way to the stairs, and I notice laughing. Not just any laughing, giggling. I know exactly what kind of giggle this is, it's a flirty one. Ya know the one you do when your crush is around, that one. I keep walking up the steps trying to figure out what room it's coming from... Then it hits me. Like a punch to the face. Its charity's laugh. I make my way into her room, and I see some guy sitting in the chair next to her bed. Charity turns to me and smiles. "Oh hey, Charlie I didn't know you were coming today," she says tuning out the other person. "Charity who is that?" the person asks. "Oh let me introduce you two. Charlie this is Ryan, and Ryan this is Charlie," she smiles. "Nice to meet ya," I said leaning up against the doorway. "Same to you," Ryan says.
As I look more and more at Ryan I realize, we look similar. If Charity is straight then that would make life super easy, I could technically be with her. This kid is probably 17, 18, ish. I don't really care but if he breaks Charity's heart ill be sure to murder him. Anyway, he is making her laugh like one smooth, natural laugh. I feel like a third wheel so, I start to head out when someone calls for me. "Charlie," a familiar doctor like voice says.
I was here a lot because my parents abuse me. I always seemed to get the same room nurse Bridgett was regularly inside. "How have you been sport," she asks ruffling my hair. She is struggling to reach the top of my head because I've grown a couple of inches since the last time I saw her. "I'm good, how have you been?" I ask. "I've been okay," she says. We stand and chat for a while before the loudspeaker comes on. "Nurse Bridgett, please come to room 218 for a meeting," it says. "Sorry Charlie but, I got to go!" Bridgett says walking toward the elevator. "Bye Bridgett," I call after her. I head back to Charity's room to see if "Ryan" left yet.
I was about to walk through the door to Charity's room when I bump into something. "Oh, sorry dude," I hear Ryan say getting up and offering me a hand. "No problem, Dude," I say grabbing his hand and pulling myself up. Once I'm up, he turns the corner and disappears. "Finally," I think to myself, "A little alone time with Charity." I walk in and see Charity in tears. I rush over. "Charity what the hell happened?" I ask. "Oh, hi Charlie. Can I tell you something?" she asks with a sniffle. "Yeah you can tell me anything," I said, with a smile. "I was going to the bathroom and someone pushed me over. He was punching and kicking me. I was crying and pleading for him to stop. Then the person left. I laid on the floor until a nurse walked in and found me."
I sat there and thought for a minute. Ryan!! I continue to hug Charity for a bit before asking where Ryan's room is. " Down the hall to the right. Bedroom 436." "Okay Be I'll be right back okay!" I say ready to walk out. She grabs my arm. "Wait," she says," I love you. No homo." "I love you too," I say," No homo." I walk out of the room blushing and wishing I could just kiss her.
Fudge it I walk back into the room and grab Charity's face and lure her in for a kiss. She kisses me also I open my eyes to see her beautiful face. She pulls away and opens her eyes. I blush and try to avoid eye contact for a minute. Charity looks at me longingly. "I love you. I have liked you for a long time. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't think you wanted me back," she tells me. "I loved you since we met. I fell in love with your personality. I can't be with you though. My parents would kill me," I tell her.
