I own nothing but Charlotte
~Carter V.
Also thank you all so much for the reviews! You guys are the BEST!
Charlotte runs outside and jumps into Spencer's car. She peels out of the driveway and heads for the high school. She bursts into the front office.
"I need to speak to Spencer Hastings! It's a family emergency." The woman at the front desk rolls her eyes and presses the button on the intercom "Spencer Hastings please report to the front office, Spencer Hastings to the front office." Charlotte starts breathing really heavy and starts pacing back and forth. After a few minutes Spencer walks into the office expecting to see her parents or even a cop, but she did not expect to see her sister. Fear strikes through her entire body and she rushes up to Charlotte. "Hey what's going on?" Spencer grabs Charlottes arm and pulls her into the entry way so they can be alone. Charlotte doesn't say anything but she just starts sobbing and Spencer pulls her into a hug. She pushes the hair out of Charlottes face and makes eye contact with her. "Hey, what's going on?" She says in a calming voice while she is still hugging her sister. She has never seen her sister this upset. Ever.
"Mom… dad…they…I'm not…" Charlotte is breathing extremely heavy and fast. Spencer has a confused look on her face "You have to calm down" Spencer is rubbing small circles on Charlottes back to calm her down "you're going to hyperventilate. Mom and dad, what did they do? You aren't what?" Charlotte sits down on the floor and she starts to calm down a little bit. "Dad isn't my father, I'm not his daughter." Spencer's face goes blank and she sits down next to Charlotte
"What do you mean? How did you find this out?" Spencer is still trying to understand what Charlotte told her
"When I got back to the house mom and dad were there. As always we got into this huge fight and mom told me that dad isn't my dad." Charlotte has silent tears rolling down her cheeks. "I didn't know what to do so I came here. I can't go back there, not now." Spencer puts her arm around her younger sister and thinks for a few minutes. "I can dismiss myself and we can go somewhere else if you want" Charlotte shakes her head
"No, you should stay I don't want you to miss class. I'll just go for a walk or something."
"I don't think you should be alone right now… I have an idea, come with me." Spencer grabs her hand and drags her down the hallways of Rosewood High. She knocks on the door of Ella's classroom. "Hi, Mrs. Montgomery I was just wondering if Charlotte could hang out here until the end of the day?"
Ella looks confused and pauses for a minute "Umm, sure. I guess." Charlotte looks extremely embarrassed and walks to the back of the empty classroom and sits at one of the student desks. Spencer goes back to class and Ella and Charlotte are alone in an awkward silence. "So is something wrong?" Charlotte looks across the room and shrugs
"No why?" Ella walks across the room and sits on the desk
"Sweetie you are really good at a lot of things, but lying isn't one of them. It's written all over your face. What's wrong?" Charlotte doesn't say anything but a single tear rolls down her cheek and she turns and wipes it away trying to hide it from Ella. "Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry. Don't cry I didn't mean to make you cry." She hugs her
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to cry."
"We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. We can ju-"
"My mom cheated on my dad. I'm her love child." Ella has no idea what to say she just hugs Charlotte again in hopes to comfort her. "That's why I'm here, I didn't know where else to go. I can't face my parents, not now."
"You're welcome to stay with us for a few days while you cool down. You can bunk with Aria."
"No really you don't have to do that. I don't want to put you and Mr. Montgomery out."
"Sweetie, I insist I don't really want you or Spencer in that environment right now, you girls can go home after school and grab some of your things and stay with us for the weekend. I'll talk to your mother." The bell rings and it's time for Ella's last block class. "Take a seat you can take part in class today, if you want." Charlotte smiles huge, she has never had anyone try to include her as much as Ella has. She sits in the back corner and grabs a Lit book.
After class Charlotte finds the girls in the hall.
"Charlotte, look at you!" Emily walks up to Charlotte and hugs her and Hanna does the same. Charlotte smiles and looks at Spencer and Aria "Hey, Spence we're bunking at the Montgomery's for a few days. Mrs. Montgomery is looking for you guys."
"Why? What's going on?" Aria looks at Charlotte
"It's a long story."
