there is a flashback type thing to the night before. It might be a

Chapter 2
Lisa woke up with Charlie's arms around her. She didn't move. She
just wanted to hear him breath. She had feelings strong for him now.
She didn't want him to leave. She needed him. She hated to admit
that. She had always been strong. But she still hoped he felt the
same. She wondered how they had gotten inside the house. The last
thing she remembered about the night before was watching the stars.
She could see Allie's diary on the bedside table. She turned over in
Charlie's arms. She could feel his light breathing. She really did
love him. His eyes fluttered open revealing his bright blue eyes that
seemed to hold something new. His lips parted, smiled sleepily, and
spoke'hey'
Lisa smiled and responded' hi' Charlie looked around the room. He
hadn't seen it in the daylight. He had just found it in the night.
Tom had come outside and suggest he take sleeping Lisa inside. It was
getting cold. Tom took the diary from Lisa's side and took it inside
as Charlie picked Lisa up and took her inside to the first bedroom he
could find. It was beige and very neat. It looked like a guest room.
After tom had put the diary down Charlie followed Tom to the living
room.
'I have to go back now but here are the house keys. There should be
enough food to last a while. Lisa has my number if you ever need me.
It should be safe to call now. I hear they are looking for a teacher
at the school. If you guys decide to go back to Seattle let me know.
I'll try to come back in a couple of weeks. I'm glad you were here
for them Charlie.'
Tom hugged Charlie and walked towards his packed car. Charlie watched
as he drove away. Then he went to the room Lisa was in. he took off
his shoes and laid down next to her on the bed and wrapped his arms
around her. He woke up with a smile on his face.
'Tom left us the house. That's if we want to stay here.' He said it
was safe to call him if we need anything'
'When did he leave?'
'Last night'
'I'll have Nina send my stuff here. I want there to be a real room
for Allie when she gets back. she needs a real home.'
'I really didn't mean any of that stuff. You guys seemed to have been
doing fine. I didn't know what I was saying.'
'No you were right. We were living in a small space. She does need a
real home.'
Silence had entered the room. Until Lisa spoke again.
'She needs a real family too.'
Charlie looked at Lisa surprised.
'You want me to stay?'
Charlie hoped she would tell him to stay. He really wanted to. He
knew he couldn't leave.
'Yes I want you to stay, Charlie. Why wouldn't I? Allie would want us
all to be a family. I want us all to be a family'
Charlie smiled when she said that. He really wanted a family. He
wanted her and Allie as family. Charlie had never really had a
family. He only had his mom. But now he had Lisa and Allie. But right
now it was only Lisa.
Of course she wanted Charlie to stay. Didn't she say so last night?
She didn't want him to leave. He was all she had.
'I want us to be a family too.'
They stared at each other for what seemed like hours when Charlie
finally started to get up from the bed.
'Where are you going?'
'I thought I'd go into town. I heard there was a teaching job. I
thought about checking it out. How 'bout we go grab some lunch first?'
Lisa propped up on her elbow to see the clock
'Lunch? We slept all morning?'
'Yep.'
'Ok well let's go see what's in town. First I'm going to find some
clean clothes. I can only go a week in the same clothes.'
'See if you can find anything for me too.'
Charlie walked into the guest bathroom. He looked under the sink for
towel. There were sop bars and toilet paper. He looked in the closet
and there were some towels. Everything looked fresh.
Lisa walked upstairs. Tom, Becky, and Jacob's bedrooms are up here.
She had only been in this house once before. But she could easily
tell which room was whose. She went inside Jacob's room. She opened
the closet door. There were papers and folders and books. She would
have to go through this stuff later. She closed the closet and the
door behind her. She had found some clothes in Becky's room. She
could use and some in Tom's for Charlie. Lisa walked back downstairs
for the guest room. The door was closed. She knocked on it. No answer.
'Charlie?'
Still nothing. She opened the door slowly.
'I'm coming in. I found some clothes in tom's room for you.'
She could hear the water running in the shower stop.
'Charlie?'
'Yeah I'm coming out just a second.'
Charlie opened the door and came out. Lisa looked away like she was
embarrassed even though he was wearing a towel.
'We can get some new clothes in town. Tom left us some money on the
kitchen table. '
Charlie grabbed the clothes and closed the bathroom door again.
While Lisa sat she thought about how she felt for Charlie. She really
did want him to be apart of the family. Officially. It's weird. She
hasn't known him that long but it was and instant connection. At
first sight. Charlie came out interrupting Lisa from her thoughts. He
was fully clothed with his wet hair in disarray around his face. Lisa
had taken her clothes into the bathroom. She would finally be able to
take a shower. Charlie had made his way to the living room. He hoped
that he would be able to make a life here. That he wouldn't
disappoint Lisa. He didn't want to disappoint her. She meant so much
to him. He went heard the water turn off in the bathroom and a few
minutes later Lisa appeared in front of him.
'Ok let's go check this town out'
---------------------------------------------------
Ok this part was kinda weird. But I promise that it will get better.
I have a little twist coming soon I hope. Please please please review
and tell me what you think.
Note: it gets kinda fluffy here. Oh and it changes perspectives and
there is a flashback type thing to the night before. It might be a
little confusing. Sorry about that
