Get Out Of Here
"Charlotte, Charlotte."
She heard her name being called through the silent headphones.
The battery must have died.
Her eyes fluttered open to see yellow orbs staring into her big brown eyes.
"Holy sh- Boyd, you scared me half to death!" She exclaimed in a whisper while stretching out her muscles from being balled into her chair.
"You know I didn't mean to scare you little sis. Where are Mom and Dad?" Boyd's voice was low and cautious but Charlotte could really tell what he was asking.
"They're fine." She said looking at the digital clock on her computer desk.
"You guys got in another argument?"
"I don't even care anymore. I wish I could take your place right now."
Her brother nodded solemnly before really asking the question at hand.
"How are you?"
She sighed. "I'm tired. And you're late! Dude, it's 2:18. You were supposed to be here at midnight."
"There was a lot going on, Char." He said not trying to upset her. He knows how his sister felt and he hated how his parents treated her. He at least thought that things would get better while he was away with Derek.
"Whatever, just hurry up so I can go back to sleep."
Boyd walked over to his sister's closet and grabbed the duffle bag in the back and begins taking certain things his sister keeps stashed for him. He had food, clothes and water all in a special places for his late night visits.
Charlotte walked over to the window and yawned before looking up at the night sky. She wanted so badly to trade places with her brother. She wanted to run freely and breathe fresh air, to sleep under the stars and be slave to the moon and no one else. She heard a twig snap underneath her window and she quickly looked down. A smile quickly found itself plastered to her face and her heart sped up a half a beats count.
"Hey, Isaac."
Her brother heard the heartbeat change and instantly became aware of what was going on.
"Hey, Charlotte," Isaac responded with a nod and his notable smirk. "It's nice out isn't it?"
"It most definitely is." She said staring at the moon before returning to Isaac. "So, what brings you around my spot? Boyd only has one duffle tonight."
"He just brought me along for the company tonight."
"Oh, well, I hope he brings you by tomorrow night. It's nice to have someone to talk to." She said trying not to seem too dorky.
"You're pretty cool yourself. I wouldn't mind stopping by more often. And you're right; it is pretty cool to have someone to talk to."
She smiled. All though she was a good three stories high, he could tell she was blushing. After the bite, it was easier for him to talk to girls. Now, he was just glad that he could talk to someone who could relate and with whom he could share his feelings with.
"Alright, little sis, I'm leaving now." Boyd said, hugging his younger sibling before tossing the bag down heavily towards Isaac.
"Dude!" Isaac exclaimed at the force of the bag.
"Aw, shut up. Bye, Char."
He jumped out of the window, landing fiercely on the ground. "Let's go, Isaac."
He jogged off, leaving Isaac in his dust. Charlotte looked own one last time at Isaac locking their eyes and matching their smiles.
"Good night, Isaac." She said shyly.
He knows how nervous she is and he likes it because for once, it's not him.
"Good night, Charlotte." He responds and slowly walks away keeping her gaze.
She closes her window and climbs into her bed with a smile on her face. She snuggles into her pillow and brings the blankets to her chin. She giggles silently and screams in her head. Now, she's complete tonight. She can go to sleep peaceful and . . . anxious to see Isaac.
