She shut her eyes. "Then why this?…" Her voice was so sad.

"I don't know sweetie." He pulled her against him again and kissed the top of her head. "I wish there was something I could do."

"I'm sorry." He looked at her confused that time. "You have nothing to be sorry for."

"It wasn't your fault…" She started to cry again and just gave up on talking then. He left it at that not wanting to upset her further with anything else. He just held her as long as she wanted. She surprised him when she pulled away and got up, talking about how she had to get ready for school.

"You don't have to go." He spoke as he watch her get dressed.

"Yeah I do." Her voice was quiet and horse from crying. She did not want to sit around and constantly be reminded of this. She had to do something to distract her and school seemed only logical at the time.

"Ok." He did not push and let her do what she wanted. He went with her once they were both ready, offering some breakfast that she refused along the way.

She stopped before they were about to leave and changed her mind. "I can't." He was instantly there to hold her when she needed it. "It's ok."

"Does anyone even know? Does my mom know? How did you find out?" She began to freak out which took him off guard with all the questions. He only knew how to answer the last one, because he was just as clueless as she was to the rest. He pulled her to the nearest sofa to explain to her how he found out. She was hurting for him as well now that he had actually seen it. All she wanted to do was curl up in a ball and wake up from this bad dream.

End Notes

I know, I know, what I wrote was horrible with Charlie. However I felt like my story was going to end up in an endless loop if I kept going the way I was and would of ended very very soon. I don't know about you, but I wanted to keep working on this story and I have new openings to follow, now that certain things have happened. I hope I did not make anyone mad, unless you guys want an ending to this story soon.
