Charlotte's POV

I'm watching a movie on my tv it's called The Collector it was a horror movie. I'm not really paying attention to it, I'm still thinking about what happened yesterday. I know Bianca is kind of a bitch but she didn't deserve to be faced with the wrath from him. Maybe if I didn't leave him in the first place this wouldn't have happened. I know Jasper will do anything to get me back, he had this obsession with me even before we started dating. When he would violate me, he always called me his 'best' he told me that I was better than any other girl that he fucked after he raped me. He told me that I should be proud that I satisfied his needs, Jasper terrifies me on the next level.

I know how he thinks, he's clearly psychotic but he's not stupid he has too many people he knows around the city. I know right now Jasper is playing nice because if he was serious, I would have been back with him that same day I left. Jasper is so confident that will go back with him because this is the first time I've actually left.

I grab my phone to text Henry.

Me: Hey.

Hen: Hey Char! what you up to?

Me: Nothing really just watching a movie. Wyd?

Hen: I'm trying to convince my mom to not but sugar in the spaghetti and she's pissed off. Cause she claims I don't like her cooking, it's not that I don't like her cooking but the taste of sugar in spaghetti isn't right. My mom said she hopes your okay, are you okay?

Me: I feel you on that one. Tell your mom that I'm good and thanks for asking about my health. But I think I'm okay. 6:08

Hen: That's good to know. I told her that you were fine. Are you good after yesterday?

Me: Yeah I'm okay. Well not really considering the situation but I'm alive right?

Hen: Don't talk like that Char. Do I need to stop by?

Me: No I'm okay. Promise.

Hen: Alright I hope your being honest. I have to cook dinner now, I'll talk to you later. Love you.

Me: Have fun! Love you too lol.

I sighed as I placed my phone on my blanket, I rolled on my stomach tucking my pillow under my chin. As I contemplated my current situation, I have a physco ex boyfriend who wants to control me in every way possible. And then I have a best friend that I love so much which is Bruce, and the love of my life Henry we are still unofficially dating.

Even though we kissed more than one occasion, I don't know if I can be 'the' girlfriend because I'm not your average 16 year old in high school. I have nightmares every night, I haven't visited a therapist but I think I have mild PTSD. The doubts that are in my head won't go away, I can't enjoy my life because I have this looming cloud hovering above me. Having to look over my shoulder, avoiding corners at all times so I don't have a panic attack. Even the way I react to sudden sound can make feel so ashamed of myself. I think that was his goal.

I was on the verge of debating to take too many painkillers or just cry about my shitty life excluding Henry, Ray and Bruce. But then I heard my phone vibrate, I reached for my phone and realized it was tangled in between my covers.

"Shit where the fuck is my phone?" I muttered as I shook my covers out. I heard a thud and found my phone on the carpet floor. I pick it up and looked at who hitting me up. It was Bruce.

Brucie: Hey Charlotte! How are you?

Me: I'm good. Wyd?

Brucie: I'm fixing up a room for my sister apparently my mom found her and now she's yelling at me to clean up. I don't know why she won't hire a maid.

Me: lol. Damn. That's awesome you found your sister! Tell your mom I said hey. When I was at the hospital I was told by the doctor that she found my real mom.

Brucie: Really?! Who was your doctor?

Me: Doctor Kelly Brown. Do you know her?

Brucie: Uh yeah she's my aunt. My mom's sister.

Me: oh fuck. I didn't know that! I kinda embarrassed now because that's your aunt and she like seen and knows everything about what happened.

Brucie: Gurl I get it. Plus my aunt won't share anything like that with other people. I know she won't.

Me:I know. I think I made a connection, I know this might sound insane but I think your my brother.

Brucie:You know what you might be right. Omg! Omg! We have the same birthday and when my aunt told me that she found my sister it was around the time when you were in the hospital. How about this, we can hang out Saturday I'll pick you up around 10 in the morning. I'll be able to buy you food.

Me: All right. Sounds like a plan! Free food! Lol see you tomorrow.
