-Next Day-

(Charlies p.o.v)

I got into my mini that my dad brought me for my 17th before he was killed, it was worn away inside and it smelt like me. I loved this car, it was my escape from everything. I can get in it at drive away from all the pain. I reach into the glove box and pull out my amber leaf pouch, i roll myself a cigarette and light it and the first drag is heaven.I know what your thinking... I'm the last person you expect to smoke? Well i got into the wrong crowd around sixteen and I've smoked ever since. My brother knows and has tried to make me quit, but its the only thing that takes away my stress and unwanted emotion. I haven't seen Dan since the kiss. I don't want to either, it was a mistake and I cant deal with that at the moment. I don't know how Dan feels about me. But i know how much he loves my brother and i would never want that to be ruined and we both know if anything were to happen between us, the friendship is well and truly over.

I stubbed out the cigarette and got out my car. I walked up to the front door and let myself into the house. I heard noise coming from the kitchen and i recognized the voices. I took out my phone and texted emma.

Charlie -Brothers home with friends and i need company so get your ass over here now. + i have so much to tell you-

I put my phone back into my pocket and i put on a brave face knowing who i would see when i walked into the kitchen. As i approached the door i heard Dan's voice and it sent shivers down my back. I walked in and all eyes were on me, Nathan looked at me with hard eyes. He knew where I've been and he was angry about it.

"I see you haven't Quit charlie" He said in a spiteful voice, i ignored him and went to the fridge and pulled out a beer. He doesn't like me drinking either, but this was just for effect. I wanted to annoy him further. I walked over to the draw to get the opener but Dan shifted himself in front of it. I looked up to him with a hard stare, he got the message and moved.

"So what, I'm not the perfect sister to the star jock? Sorry i cant live up to your standards Nate" I turned and headed for the door, and my phone vibrated in my pocket. Expecting it to be emma i pulled out my phone and opened the message."

Dan-What's up? meet me in your room in 10?-

I just slid my phone back into my pocket and headed for my room. When i was safely in my room i closed the door and went to my desk and pulled out my drawing pad and a pencil and just drew. Next thing i know i sensed a person behind me.

"I didn't know you could draw, your good..Really good." His voice was stern but it made shiver. I loved his voice, i feel safe when i hear it. I closed my pad and turned and stood up. "What do you want dan?" I tried to remove all emotion from my voice and i was doing pretty well. "What was up earlier charlie? You've started smoking again, i know you so well and this isn't you." His little speech pissed me off. I looked him directly in the eye...
"Well You don't know me well at all then. I never gave up smoking, just became more secretive. I appreciate that you pity me, your best friends little sister... The girl who's parents were murdered but I'm fine being that, but i never want you to kiss me again, its bad to give a girl the wrong impression. I would appreciate it if you left and closed the door"
My words were cold but they expressed how i felt and i needed to say them. He looked hurt and started to say something but stopped himself. He turned and left, and he took my strength with him. As soon as he was gone i fell to the ground and cried. My best friends smell filled the room and her arms were around me instantly. I snuggled into her. I spent A hour telling Emma about the kiss and what happened, she just listened.

-That night-

My phone vibrated on the bedside table.

Emma- OMG GUESS WHAT...WE JUST GOT INVITED TO A PARTY AND YOUR BROTHERS GOING... SHOPPING TIME BIATCCCH.

Charlie- Aahah i see your excited ;) lets go tomorrow, meet me at mine and ill drive us to the mall.

Emma- Ill be at yours at nine ;).
