Chapter three- un invited

I sat in my old room, my bed had clean sheets and the shelves had been left the exact same way they were before I took off. Charlie had set up a bed for Mary, she was laying on it now, her hair was splayed out underneath her. She had Howl curled up in her hand. Luce was in the spare room that Charlie had also set up, he was being so good to me, even after all I had put him through.

I checked the clock, five- thirty, I opened the fridge door. Charlie had stacked up on groceries for me. I decided to make pizza; it was one of Charlie's favourites.

I set up the table, there was a knock on the door and Charlie got up to answer it, "Hey Charlie" it was a deep gruff voice speaking, familiar as well,

"Charlie, we weren't sure if you were here or not"

"Hey how are ya Charlie" There was a bit of silence,

"hey boys" said Charlie happily, I heard the front door open wider. "You wouldn't guess who's here". My eyes widened, i wasn't ready to face them yet!. But what could i do, i ran my hand through my hair and turned back to the food.

The voices went dead as they entered the kitchen, the temperature seemed to rise.
