A/N Okay, so I really should of put this on 'The Tale of Jerina' A/N but I forgot. I will not be posting as often as usual, because I'm training to go for my Brown Belt at karate (One away from Black), so like proper buzzed at the moment. But I will try and update as often as possible for you guys

Charlie's POV
I saw Rosalina run out of the room, it really hurt deep down, but I couldn't show it. I wouldn't allow myself to give in to the hurt, to give into my emotions. The last time I did that, I got dumped, hard. I allowed myself to believe that I could actually show me, the real me, without there being some sort of consequence. But I decided to forget that memory. It was just a piece of my messed up past.
"Do you think she bought it?" Amber looked me in the eyes. "Not to be mean, but she deserves it"
"I don't know Amber" I sighed. "I just don't know"
I walked into the ding room and rubbed my eyes. It'd been a long day, a long emotional one. But when I rubbed my eyes, I did not expect for a tear to form. It'd reminded me of a time not so long ago when I showed my emotions.
Flashback
"Rosalina" I called out for her. "Rosalina, okay you win"
"Seriously" I shouted. "I'm not good at Hide and Seek, especially at Camp in the dark"
I heard a rustle in some bushes behind me, followed by footsteps behind me.
"Hello" I turned back. "Who's there?" No reply didn't think so. I walked over to the area in which the noise came from.
"Hello?" I repeated myself. I don't know why I keep saying that, it's not like there's going to be an answer or anything.
I looked around, for anything, any clues or just something that could reassure me that nothing was going to happen. I took another step forward and tripped over a tree root which stuck out of the ground. My hand was bleeding and by the looks of it, part of my face was too. Someone had left a glass bottle on the floor, which obviously, me being me, landed on. I tried to look up but resulted in falling on to the ground and curling up into a ball, hoping everything would turn out fine, that it was all just a dream.
I heard laughter, my eyes immediately shot open. I tried to call out for help, but I couldn't, I was frozen with fear.
"We should really find Charlie" I heard Rosalina say. "He's probably out there somewhere because of us"
"No sweat baby" A voice said. It sounded a little like Chris'; he was one of our campmates.
"Chris" Rosalina was scared now. "I really think we should look for him"
"Well. How about me and you just enjoy this moment" He laughed. "You know me and you, alone"
"But what about Charlie? What about" Rosalina asked, but was silenced by Chris.
I started to crawl over to their voices, slowly, but not painfully, careful not to let out a scream.
"Don't worry about him" He teased. "He's a tough cookie"
"But what if he's in" She was cut off. And then there was nothing. It left me clueless, which never happened to me. I tried to stand up, but let out a quiet yelp.
"What was that?" Rosalina questioned.
"Look don't worry about it" He assured her.
I looked around and limped to the nearest tree which I could lean on. I slowly lifted my trouser leg up to reveal my ankle had been damaged severely. It was swollen and bruised to the size of a balloon. The same with my tongue, it had probably been swollen to the size of a balloon from how hard I was biting it.
"Chris" She breathed. "Look. We need to find Charlie"
I moved slightly to the left, so I could see well. But the view wasn't good, I could partly see through the leaves and other debris around.
"No" He stopped her from moving. "We don't"
"But" She tried to say, but Chris leant in and kissed her.
"Look we already did this" She pulled away and sighed. "Now can we find Charlie?"
Chris looked around and it seemed like he saw me.
"No, we've been kissing all this time that Charlie's been looking or us" He smiled deliberately because he saw me. "So why do we have to stop now?" He started kissing her neck.
"Because we need to find Charlie!" She shouted at him.
I stood up straight.
"I'm right here" I waved at her.
"Oh hey Charlie" She ran over to me. "Are you okay, what happened to your face?"
"Oh, I just tripped up back over there" I pointed further over in the field.
I looked over at Chris, he gave me a death glare and I returned one back to him.
"Seriously, that looks really bad" She was panicking. "Wait here I'll get help"
"I'll come too" Chris smiled at me. "He looks really bad."
After they left, who knows what they were doing. I lay down on the sweet smelling grass and cried. For everything, my emotions, the pain caused. But not the injuries, they were just there causing pain, not tears.
Present
"Are you okay?" Amber waved a hand in my face. "Charlie?"
"What? Yeah, sure" I looked down and faked a sneeze to see if I had any tears. "I need food"
"Okay?" She shook her head. "Normal"
