Chapter 13

Monday

10:00 am

Doctor Kelly sighed as she looked at Charlottes lab results. She doesn't have an STI and she isn't pregnant which is good. But the trace of semen in her body was recent, it made her want to throw up her lunch she could believe that a person would do this to anybody. She picked up the phone to dial Ray Manchester's number.

Charlotte's POV

I couldn't go to school because of safety reasons which left me here. I wish Henry didn't have to go to school, last night Henry left to go home and his parents let him stay till 10:30 last night. I'm so bored I can't go anywhere because I'm not trying to get caught by Jasper. But I convinced Henry to stay until I fell asleep, which I'm glad because nightmares aren't fun. Ray would check on her twice a day reminding her to take her medicine, when I heard the elevator ring I was surprised to see Ray leave the elevator with a phone in his hand.

"Hey Charlotte Doctor Kelly is on the phone she says it's good news." Ray said grinning handing me the phone.

"Thank you Ray." I said as I accepted the house phone and place it on my ear.

"Good morning Doctor."

"Good Morning Charlotte. I have some good news for you, the results came back and you don't have any STD and you were tested negative on your pregnancy test."

"Oh thank god." Charlotte released a breath she was holding in.

"Thank you so much Doctor."

"You're welcome. I have a question are you adopted?" My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Yeah. It should be public records." I said confused, where is she going with this?

"I know. It's just that I made a connection, I believe I found your birth parents."

I've never thought of actually meeting my real parents. I only know a little knowledge about them, they were young and I was forced to be adopted. Which is actually kinda sad hopefully they will be happy when they get to meet me.

"Wow really are you serious?" I ask in disbelief.

" I'm certain. I can't give you the full scoop at the moment but I assure you that they are good people." I heard the smile on her face. Which made me smile.

"Thank you for letting me know."

"Make sure you take you medicine. If you need a refill just have your pediatrician write you another prescription. You're welcome, have a nice day Charlotte."

"You too Doctor."

"Goodbye Charlotte." The call ended. I didn't think it was possible to find my birth parents. I handed Ray the phone backpack.

"So what was the good news?" Ray said happily smiling big.

"I was tested negative for STDs and pregnancy. And Doctor Kelly said she found my parents, she told me she wouldn't go into detail until all this is over."

"That's good to hear that you can actually meet your real parents. I hope she's telling the truth." I could tell that Ray didn't want me to be hurt more than I am already. I gave him a reassuring smile.

"I know she's telling the truth." Ray pulled me in a hug,

"Well if you're confident in what she's saying so am I."

"Thank you. For everything." I said as we pulled away from our short hug.

"It's not biggie Char. I'm hungry, I'm going to order some pizza. Want some?"

"Sure is like that." I grinned as we went up the elevator.

Meanwhile at school

Henry's POV

I stopped at my locker before lunch. It's kinda weird not having Charlotte at school. I put all my stuff in my locker from my previous class. I grabbed the note Bianca put in my locker and crumpled it up in my hand and threw it in a nearby trash can. Someone tapped my shoulder

"Yeah." I turned around to find my best guy friend.

"What? Bruce! I haven't seen you in a year. Where have you been?" Bruce is one of my greatest friends. We knew each other since diaper days, I pull him in a hug.

"Hey Henry. I've been going around France trying to boost my modeling career but I'm back for good. I know I'm pretty but I need an education too." Bruce flaunted he used his hand in a swaying motion acting like he's pushing back his imaginary hair off his shoulders. He's a mess.

"Why did you come back to Swellview?"

"Well when my mom bought her house she decided to stay here. And she also said she found my twin sister, so I was just going to stay home with her."

"Oh that's good to hear! I need to catch our up on everything that happened in your absence."

"Okay I'm ready." He said as we walked to the cafeteria.

"It's only been gone a year and all this shit happens. Is Charlotte okay?" He asks sadly. We were now sitting at one of the lunch tables both eating the crappy cheese burgers.

"Yeah she's doing fine but she can't go anywhere. And she is so beaten down, it's so sad. Jasper is crazy as fuck he will find Charlotte at any cost."

"That's good she doing well. I hope Jasper doesn't get away with this."

"He won't. When did you arrive?"

"Around 6:30 this morning. I was going to actually call you and let you know I was back but then I got busy." He was grinning at me.

"What are you looking at?" Then I realized what he was looking at. I slap my hand on my neck.

"Is that a hickey?" He pried my hand off my neck, inspecting the area.

"Maybe." I answered blushing red. I forgot to cover it. Shit. Bruce squinted his eyes.

"It looked pretty recent. You still a virgin?"

"Yeah I am. Unlike your hoe ass."

"Mmmhmm you right. Wanna hear what I did to the flight attendant guy this morning?"

"No I'm good. I don't think I need to know." He shrugged his shoulders.

"It's your lost. I'm sure Charlotte would listen to me. By the way who gave you this mark? Bianca?"

"No. We broke up, well not officially but it's basically over."

"Ah okay well who was it?"

"..." When I didn't answer. I seen Bruce's eyes go wide. It clicked. He grabbed my hand and shook it.

"It was Charlotte! Oh Henry you bad boy!"

"Bruce keep your voice down." I whispered harshly at him.

"Oops my bad." He said sarcastically. Then his face went dark suddenly.

"Umm Bruce?" I shook his shoulder lightly.

"Jasper is here." I followed where Bruce was looking. I didn't see anything that alarmed me.

"Where is he?"

"He's giving you the angriest glare Henry. He looks like he wants to kill you. We need to leave like now. Do you have a place we can go to?"

"Yeah I do." It's actually common for me to skip school but this is different now.

No one's POV

4:30pm

Detective Warren shook her head as she read the lab results. The DNA in Charlotte matched 2 other rape charges. And the suspect has disappeared off the map. No recent phone records the last phone call was to the heart surgeon at the hospital, they tried to reach him but his phone is also turned off.

'All we need is Dunlop's DNA and his ass will be in jail.' She thought as she placed down the file on her coffee table.

She was going to find that son of a bitch.
