But I Love Him...Don't I?, chapter 3
OUTSIDE DAN'S HOUSE
Knock knock... ... ..
"Oh hello Charlie, Dan's upstairs" Dan's mum said.
"Oh by the way Charlie, I phoned your parents and they said you can stay over"
"Thanks Molly!" I shouted while running up the stairs. I walked into Dan's bedroom, and suddenly Dan grabbed me and started kissing me, his hands in my hair. I didn't know what else to do, so I just wrapped my arms around his waist. After about ten minutes of just kissing and a few pauses in-between to breathe, I pulled away.
"Why did you run away from the police?" I asked him. His eyes went all shifty. Then he suddenly grabbed me and slammed me against the wall.
"If I tell you, you promise not to tell anyone!" He said fiercely.
"I... .okay" I said, terrified of what Dan would do if I said anything else. He let me go, and I dropped to the floor. He walked over to his bed, sat down and put his hands in his head.
"I... ... .I... .I broke into someone's house and stole $2000" I gasped, two thousand dollars!! How could he!?
"But as I was climbing out of the window somebody saw me and rang the police, and I was trying to run away, but I was on foot and they were in the car, so I dropped the money and headed towards the park, that's when I saw you" Dan said. I just stared at the floor.
"Two thousand dollars? Shit Dan, do you know how much that is!! Why? How could you!?" I started shouting at him. He grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back. I screamed a little. He has a very strong grip.
"Look you, whatever I do is none of your business, so don't start telling me what to do, got it!?" I was biting my lip hard with my eyes tightly closed shut, the pain was unbearable, I nodded my head.
"Good" Dan spat. He then picked me up and pushed me on the bed and started kissing, every kiss getting deeper and deeper. I pushed Dan away. "No Dan, I'm not ready!"
"You never will be ready, will you?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm 15!! You're 17, you might be ready, but I'm not! When I'm 16, I promise you that I'll be ready, but not anytime before!" I said holding his hands.
"When will you be 16?"
"Four months" He looked as if he was considering it.
"Fine, but as long as you promise me!" He said looking at me
"I promise" I said kissing him on the lips. Then I undressed into my underwear, and Dan did the same, and we climbed into his bed. Dan fell asleep straight away, while I was cuddling into his arms... ... .thinking about Joey... ... ..
Yawn... ..where am I? Oh yeah, Dan's house. I looked at him... .aw he looks so cute when he sleeps. I climb out quietly and get ready. What's the time? 11:00 a.m. Hmmm, I think I'll ring Danni.
Ring... ... .ring... .
"Hello?"
"Heya Danni, its Charlie
"Oh (yawns) thanks for waking me up!" She said sarcastically.
"Any time, I've got biiiig news, huge news, GIGANTIC news!" I said jumping up and down.
"What? Tell me!!" So I told Danni everything from when I met Joey and when I met Green Day.
"SHIT!! THAT IS SO AWESOME!! YOU HAVE TO INTRODUCE ME!!"
"I will I will" I heard a noise from Dan.
"Uum Danni, meet me in the park at one, and I'll take you to Billie's house okay?"
"OH MY GOD!! Thanks Charlie you're the best friend in the world!!"
"Ha! I know I know! C ya"
"Tra" I looked around to see Dan getting out of bed.
"Who was that?"
"Danni, I'm meeting her at one" He looked at me sharply.
"What about me?" I looked at him
"Dan... .I do have a life that does not include you as well you know!"
"Oh so I'm not a part of your life now am I?" Dan picked up his alarm clock and threw it on the floor.
"WELL FUCK YOU THEN!" he shouted. He grabbed my arms and slammed me against the wall... ..very, very hard! I slid down the wall onto the floor, I felt the back of my head, it felt warm and wet, I looked up at Dan. He scratched the side of my face. I grabbed my phone and just ran out of his house. I knew exactly where I was going.
A FEW MINUTES LATER
Knock knock... ...
"Hey Charlie... ... SHIT!! What happened?" Billie dragged me inside and sat me on his sofa.
"Wait here, there's blood all over your hair and face, I'll go get a flannel" Billie came back with a flannel and started mopping up the blood. Joey then came downstairs.
"Charlie? Is that yo... ... .FUCK! Who did this!?" He ran towards me and hugged me tight. He looked at the cuts.
"Charlie, who done this?"
JOEY'S P.O.V.
I wish she would speak... .Why won't she speak?!
"D... .D... Dan did" She looked up and her eyes were full of tears.
"But... ..but... .why did he do it?" I asked.
"He... .he said that I didn't love him"
Dad held her hands, she looked at him.
"And do you love him?" Dad asked softly. Tears filled her eyes, and it looked as if she was really thinking. She started shaking her head. "
"No... ..no I don't, I found out what real love was yesterday" Charlie looked up at me and smiled.
"I love you Joey"
Knock knock... ... ..
"Oh hello Charlie, Dan's upstairs" Dan's mum said.
"Oh by the way Charlie, I phoned your parents and they said you can stay over"
