Charlotte

I sat in the living room and started thinking about the restless night I had. All I thought about was Xavier's words and how he now knew so much about me. I wished he would never even let me know what he found out. The more I rolled around the bed at night, the more my thoughts swirled. Some memories I was trying to erase were just brought to me fresh.

I felt like I had been exposed and the past trauma I was trying to keep afar came back to me. When I woke up this morning, I was feeling really drained. I didn't want to talk to Xavier or allow me to stir up my emotions today.

I was happy that when I finally saw him, he respected the fact that I didn't want to talk and I was grateful for that. I wonder how he feels about me now that he has found out this much.

"Oh, he shouldn't have." I said loudly as I clenched my fists.

"Ma'am, You called me?" A maid said, coming forward as he heard me talking to myself.

"No, I didn't. I was talking about something else." I said, tryin

    Xavier. I didn't know what was wrong with Levi yet, But I had hardly ever seen her like this before. She looked so discombobulated and I knew I needed to hear her out. When we entered the office, I sat her down on a chair and sat opposite her. "Levi, talk to me now." I pleaded. "Okay, She finally said." I took a deep breath, expecting her to continue immediately but she paused and bursted into tears again. I left where I was and stood beside her, patting her back gently. "I am so sorry, Levi." I said. She was going to say something but she let out a soft cough instead so I rushed to get her water. In seconds, I was back with a cup of water and gave her to drink it while I continued to pat her back and pacify her. "Take it easy, Levi." I said. "Whatever it is, I'm here" I assured. After about 5 minutes, Levi stopped crying and began to speak." Xavier, it's my Dad." She said, I didn't quite understand her so I pestered her more. "Your Dad? What about him, Levi?" I inquired

    Charlotte:As I watched Levi have her breakfast, I could not help but wonder why she was at the house so early in the morning. Xavier's mood had also changed from earlier, and it was obvious there was something wrong.I hated that Xavier was in such a bad mood but there was nothing I could do. Levi was nice to me at the party, and I wish I could talk to her about whatever made her look so angry, but it was just none of my business.She seemed to me like a s strong person who could handle things herself.The clinking of the cutlery against our plates was the only sound on the dining table as we all ate our meal in silence.Xavier occasionally stared at Levi with a tender look on his face as she ate which made me more uncomfortable than I already was.I felt like the third wheel and wished I could disappear and leave the both of them alone.After a while, I could not just take it anymore. It was too suffocating. I decided it was time to leave but as I dropped my fork, Levi stood up wit

    Xavier:Charlotte was unnecessarily quiet earlier while we were all having breakfast together and the way she left was abrupt.I know it must have to do with Levi and she must have been uncomfortable. I thought of going after her but after she way she asked for some space the last time, I figured it was best to talk to her after she came out of her roomAfter finishing my breakfast, I walked into the living room and brought out my phone to check my schedule for the day.After the fight Alessandro and I had in my room earlier, it was like he was trying everything in his power to avoid me.He didn’t come to the dining table to have his breakfast and it also didn’t seem like he was anywhere around.As I scrolled through my phone, I heard footsteps which seemed louder each seconds and looked back to see who it was.“Levi,” I said, before noticing the frown on her face which I assumed was because she might still be upset. “You should be getting some rest.” “I can’t sleep,” She muttered.“

    Charlotte I couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that I liked Xavier. It all looked like a dream to me because not long ago, he was somebody I would not usually like to see or Converse with. I mean, I even tried to run from his pack. Now, I'm more grateful for the fact that he was so intentional with me. If he hadn't come to look for me at the coffee shop the morning after I escaped, I wonder what would have become of me. Maybe I would've gone back to Ashton or still be roaming around like a lost cause. I thought about all of these for a while before I decided to distract myself with something else. I took my phone which Xavier gave to me a few days ago and began to go through Levi's social media just because I found her interesting. While going through the pictures I discovered that she and Xavier I've actually been friends since childhood. I don't know how that made me feel but I guess it was okay. I went through their pictures for about an hour when I got tired and d

    Xavier: Seeing Charlotte in a bathing suit mesmerized me. Her soft skin, wet short hair, and bright brown eyes completely rendered me speechless. It was pretty obvious she was avoiding me and i was starting to get used to it by now but I was not sure what it was about this time. As I watched her walk away, I struggled with what to do. “To hell with giving her some space,” I stated, walking towards her direction. “Wait up, Charlotte,” I said but Charlotte continued to walk faster. She reached for the door to get to her room and walked in but before she could shut the door, I held it with both of my hands and stopped her from being able to close it. “I need to talk to you, Charlotte. Please stop running from me,” I stated while trying to look away from her wet body which was so tempting. “Okay, wait here. I need to change,” She muttered. I nodded my head and removed my hands while watching her close the door. After about two minutes, the door to the room swung open and I walk

    Xavier:“I am sorry, Levi, but I do not feel anything for you. I have always seen you as my best friend and a sister, and that will never change,” I said, trying to be as nice as possible.After what Levi must have said to Charlotte earlier, I was no longer sure we could even continue being friends.“Tell me what exactly you said to her!” I inquired in a firm tone.“I only told her the obvious truth which she already knows, Xavier. She does not belong here and she never will!” Levi stated.“You are wrong, Levi. She does belong here, and I am willing to do all it takes to make sure she completely regains her strength,” I replied.“I knew I didn't have a chance since I saw the way you looked at her at the party,” Levi mumbled, wiping the tears that were falling off her face.A part of me felt bad for her and our friendship as she spoke.“Call your father and talk to him, he is so worried about you,” I stated, walking out of the room.As I shut the door and started to think about what ha

    Charlotte:Levi’s apology seemed sincere enough but the sudden change in mind felt weird to me.Just some minutes ago, she was out there insulting me and now she was apologizing.I figured it had something to do with what Xavier must have said to her since he was standing right by her side.“Please say something,” Levi said to me snapping me out of my thoughts.People who wrong me barely apologizes to me so it was hard for me to think of what to say in that moment.“It’s okay,” I muttered, nodding my head.“Thank you, Charlotte,” Levi stated with a smile pulling me in for a hug.The hug felt a bit weird but I could see it made Xavier relieved.“I am leaving and I promise I will be better and not be in this head space the next time you see me,” Levi said after she turned towards Xavier who only nodded his head.His behavior seemed a little weird to me and I just could not figure out what was up with him.“I will ask the driver to take you home, bye,” He stated.From the way I saw it, t

    XavierI opened my eyes the next morning to find myself still in Charlotte's room. I could not remember exactly how the night went but I hoped I did not misbehave or say anything to annoy Charlotte. I looked to my side and saw Charlotte sleeping peacefully beside me, she used three pillows as demarcation between us and that made me smile a bit. Before she woke up, I tried my best to remember everything that happened the night before. Even if I was sure to behave myself anytime I was drunk, I had to think about it all over again since Charlotte was involved. I remember how I came into her room after Levi left. I remember being in a conversation with her, I smiled as I remembered how precious the hug between us was. I tried my best to remember every single conversation and then I remember asking her about her biological parents and she responded just normally. “That means he knows she was adopted," I wondered. “If she knew she was adopted,why did she still address Lydia as her blo

    Xavier: There are several questions in my mind but there is just no answer. One of the questions was how Charlotte’s adoptive parent managed to keep the fact that they were not her biological parents and why they would do that only to end up maltreating her so much. After Charlotte saw me with the papers, the way she looked at me nearly broke me. I just knew I could not go behind her back to find out who are real parents were. Charlotte had to know first and then decide whether she wanted to search for them or not. “It’s not in my place,” I muttered to myself even though deep down I knew I could call Max and get the information I desperately wanted in less than a day. “I will tell her first then do whatever she wants to do,” I muttered to myself while reminiscing about the hug. It seemed like the Levi situation brought us closer and even though I was still upset about losing a friend, it felt nice to know that something nice came out of the situation. Now that I knew for sur
