~Charlie's POV~
"Dad!" I whined as I sat on the table ... I'm Charlotte Marie Bolton, you might remember my Uncle Troy and Auntie Gabi, they took me in when I lost my parents when I was 4 ... they officially adopted me when I was 6 and now I'm 12, it was hard at first without my real parents but I have the most amazing foster parents and the biggest family anyone could ask for.
"Princess" Dad chuckled "You need it checking"
"I'm fine" I wiggled my legs "See" ... I broke my leg jumping out of a tree ... silly I know ... so I was in a full cast and crutches.
"Charlie" He looked at me "You just got your leg out of the cast, so you are gonna listen me, okay"
I sighed "Yes Dad" ... I hate that he's my Physiotherapist/Doctor but he's the best in North Carolina.
I hopped off the bed and stood on the line "Well"
He stood at the other end "Now, walk to me"
"I'm not a baby whose learning how to walk" I crossed my arms.
"Charlotte Marie"
"Fine" I walked along the line carefully when I felt a pull in my leg "Ow"
Dad rushed over, picking me up and put me back on the table "Where does it hurt?"
"There" I pointed to the side of my knee.
"This might hurt" He put his hand on the spot and pressed lightly.
"Ow!" I bit my lip to stop the tears from falling "Daddy, it hurts"
"Okay" He kissed my head "We'll strap it up and we'll try easy exercises but you're gonna stay on those crutches for a little longer"
I nodded "Will I still be able to try out for the track team?"
"We'll talk to your mum about it"
I hopped into the Art Gallery that my Mum opened after graduating from Duke "Mami?"
"Char!" My little 2 years old twin sisters Isabella and Lyla running out of the back covered in paint.
I giggled "Woah, what happened to you two?"
"They got into the paint again" Mum smiled walking out of the back "I thought you were getting off those today?"
"She was suppose to" Dad came behind me "But she's pulled something in her knee"
"Well, it looks like you won't be trying out for the track team"
"But Ma" I pouted.
"Nope" She shaked her head and pointed at me "You're not doing any sports until that knee is sorted, got it?"
"Got it" I sighed hopping over to some of the pictures to see a familiar one ... it was of me with my real parents at the ski lodge ... that was my first holiday I went on.
"I remember that" I looked up to see Dad behind me "It was the first time I met you and I was as you quoted 'your favourite uncle' and you wanted to go everywhere with me"
"I don't remember the trip much or much about them" I sighed "What were they like?"
"Your Dad was very protective of your Aunt Blair and Gabi plus he didn't like me at first"
I looked at him "Why?"
"Because you" He tapped my nose "Didn't want to spend time with him, it was always me"
I giggled "What about my Mum?"
"She was a musician; she was an amazing singer just like you"
I nodded "I'm gonna go home"
"C'mon then"
"I'll walk home, its not far" I react up and kissed his cheek "See you at home"
"Call as soon as you get home"
"I will" I hopped over to the door "Bye Mami" I shouted and went out.
I hopped through the door to greeted by a bark "Hey Duke" He ran around me barking "Come on then" I hopped through the kitchen and opened the back door and he ran out.
I went back into the kitchen to see my kitten curled up on the counter "Hey Minnie" I brushed my fingers through her fluffy fur when the house phone rang.
I picked it up and answered it "Hello?"
"Hey Bestie!" Kaitlyn giggled on the other side ... We have been best friends since Kindergarten.
"Hey, what's up?"
"What's this I hear about a new guy?"
I rolled my eyes sitting on the stool "His name is Riley and he'll be going to McKinley High after summer"
"So, I won't see him at school"
"He'll be hanging out with us tomorrow after school"
"I'll be there" She squealed "How did it go with your Dad?"
"I'm out of the cast but still on crutches"
"Why?"
"I've done something to my knee"
"We told you not to jump from that height"
"It was ..."
"Charlotte Marie Bolton!" Dad shouted.
"Kat, I'll see you tomorrow, the full name was used"
"Uh oh, that's bad, see you tomorrow"
"Laters" I hung up as Dad walked in "Hi"
"What happened to phoning me, I was getting worried?"
"I'm sorry but I had to let Duke out then Kaitlyn rang"
He nodded and sat on the other side "You okay?"
"I'm fine" I smiled a little.
"Charlie, I know you, what's up?"
"There's a week left of school and I can't do running or anything"
"We'll get your knee sorted and you'll be ready for the try-outs at McKinley" He looked at me "What's really going on?"
"It'll be my first year at high school and I love that you guys are here but I wish my parents were here"
"Remember when I did your room with the butterflies on one of the walls?"
I nodded "You said it'll remind me of my parents and that they'll always be watching me"
"Right, so when you see a blue or green butterfly, you'll know it's your parents" He smiled "We're not trying to replace them"
"I know" I hopped off the stool and went around the counter "You'll always be Uncle Troy but you are also my Dad" I smiled wrapping my arms around him "I love you"
"I love you too sweetie" He kissed the top of my head "So, who's Riley?"
I groaned "Just this new guy who moved from New York"
"Just be careful, okay?"
"Don't worry Dad" I giggled "You, Uncle Finn, Puck, Sam, Jayden and Lucas are the only guys in my life"
"Good" He grinned "Let's keep it that way"
I hopped into my room later that night to see the art work that Dad did when we moved to Charlotte ... it's the same as the old house which was a light purple ... one wall which is behind my bed had two big butterflies; one blue with 'Dad' written next to it and then other green with 'Mum' written next to it ... another wall is full of pictures of my big family and my friends.
I sat on my queen size bed and grabbed my sketch pad ... I love to draw like Dad and I love to take pictures like Mum. Everyone said I have the brain like my real mum and I'm good at sports like my real Dad plus I got something from my Uncle Lucas, I love to write.
"Hey little lady" I looked up to see Uncle Finn ... He'll be my track coach at McKinley High and one of coaches of Glee Club New Directions with Uncle Sam which they were members of.
"What you doing here Uncle Finn?"
"I'm looking after you and the twins while your parents work late"
"Okay" I nodded and looked back at my pad.
"Can I ask you something Char?"
"Sure" I put my pad down "What's up?"
He sat on my bed "When you come to McKinley after summer, what clubs are you joining?"
"Track, of course" I smiled.
"If your knee is healed" He pointed out.
"Right" I nodded "Plus Photography and maybe the Glee Club"
"Really?" He looked at me kinda shocked.
"Yep, why?"
"That is what I wanted to ask you about"
"If it's to do with singing and dancing, count me in" I grinned.
"But just because you're my niece, you don't get special treatment, you still need to audition"
"Fine" I pouted crossing my arms.
He chuckled and kissed my head "Get some sleep, you have school tomorrow" He got up and walked to the door.
"Uncle Finn?"
He turned "Yes"
"Did you ever meet my real parents?"
"When your Auntie Gabi used to live here way before she met Troy and you were born"
"Why did she move?"
"I think that's something you'll need to ask her about"
"Okay" I put my pad on my table and got under my covers "Buonanotte"
"I have no idea what you said"
I giggled "It means goodnight in Italian"
"Goodnight Charlotte" He smiled turning off my light and closed the door.
I rolled over and looked at the wall with the butterflies on "Night guys, I miss you two"
Do you want me to continue?
