Lost And Found, Part 4, Sense And Sense Ability:
Charlie's POV
I wake up startled, feeling hot breath on my hair, then I look up to realize I must have cried myself to sleep in Banksie's arms last night. Fuck, my mom I completely forgot to go by last night. She's going to be so pissed at me. I try to slip out of his arms without waking him, knowing he needed to sleep.
After a good ten minutes I finally had slipped away from him, I stood up and stretched my aching limbs. I have to go by and see my mom, she must hate me for forgetting. I quickly grab a towel and head to the bathroom for a quick shower.
As I exit the bathroom clad in only a towel I see Banks is awake, "Morning." I greeted him.
"Good morning." he replied, "How are you?"
"I'm okay, just in a rush. With everything that happened yesterday I forgot to go home, my mom's going to be pissed at me." I said, then I turned towards my dresser and started grabbing some clothes. I pulled out a pair of duck boxers, a wife beater, a flannel button shirt, and a pair of hole-y blue jeans.
"After you explain what happened I think your mother will forgive you Charlie." Banksie tells me.
"Yeah, I just hate that I forgot." I tell him as I head back into the bathroom to get dressed.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Banks asked me after knocking on the bathroom door to get my attention.
"No thanks, Banksie, I can handle it." I yell back.
"Alright." is all the response I get.
"I'm gonna head home to see her right now, I'll catch ya later Banksie, and thanks again for comforting me last night." I tell Adam before I leave.
"It's not like you haven't comforted me before." Adam replies modestly, but accurately.
I am one of the only ones that knows how bad his family sitaution is, last year he nearly quit hockey because of it. Thankfully I got through to him and he didn't because the Ducks would be kicked out without our star player.
I arrive home about thirty minutes after I left, I had skated there so I was tired when I walked through the front door.
"Charlie, is that you?" I hear my mom's weak voice call out.
"Yeah mom, it's me." I reply before entering her bedroom, "How are you feeling today?" I ask her.
"I feel like crap," she said somberly, "why didn't you come home last night?"
"I...I...hockey practice was brutal and I went back to my dorm room with Adam hoping to just grab a shower and some more of my clothes, but was so tired that I sat on my bed and fell asleep." I felt bad lying to her, but I couldn't tell her the truth.
"Charles Cameron Conway, don't lie to me." Ugh, full name, I hate it when she does that.
"Alright, I found out that my girlfriend only used me to become head cheerleader." I told her honestly and it still hurt.
"I am so sorry sweetie," my mom said, "is there anything I can do for you?" she asked me.
"No mom, I just have to accept that I am meant to spend the rest of my life alone. I mean everyone seems to be leaving me here lately, first Coach, then Hans, now you and Linda." I try to hold back the tears welling up behind my eyes.
"Shh, you are not meant to be alone Charlie, I know that." my mom says.
"How do you know?" I ask weakly.
"Its just one of the things that mother's know." she smiles at me.
"What do you need me to do?" I ask her, smiling.
"Just need you to get me my pills, then you should get back to school." she tells me.
"Yes mom." I say as I head into the kitchen to grab her medicine and get her a glass of orange juice.
"Here you go mom," I tell her after re-entering the bedroom.
"Thank you Charlie." she says, "Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?"
"No mom, not right now." I tell her, "I have to get back to school, I love you mom." I hug her bye and kiss her cheek before leaving the house, a little bit happier than before. I owe it all to my mother, she's such a wonderful person, I'm really going to be lost without her.
