  | Charlotte P.O.V"Are you sure about this?" I whisper, clasping my palms together nervously. Aaron glances down at me, before nodding his head. My heart is thumping rapidly against my chest, and I tune out of the world around me. The only thing I can focus on is Jason, running away from us. His over-sized school sweatshirt, causes his sleeves to hang loosely and he's dragging his little Spider-man schoolbag towards the swing set. He looks... happy. Excited. Content. Independent. Aaron follows my gaze, watching our son. He reaches out and takes my hand, his palm soft against mine. This action pulls

  He looks up.His wrists are in handcuffs, and he's sitting by a desk. In a bare room. All alone.I inhale sharply, as his dark brown eyes slowly lift up to meet mine. And as soon as we make eye contact, his face glimmers with life. The flicker of a smirk, stretches across his lips as he rises to his feet. The only thing separating us is the glass wall."Will they let me inside to talk to him?" I plead, turning my head to look at my Dad. He glances down at me before turning his gaze to the policewoman. She sighs heavily, taking out her keys and unlocking the side door. As soon as the door swings open, I push past both my Dad and the policewoman in order to get to him. Aaron has already risen to his feet, and I race towards him before wrapping my arms around his neck.God, I've missed him so much."You're okay." I whisper, my voice muffled a

  "So there's a baby inside of you?" Lily's eyes widen as she places a hand on my stomach. I simply laugh, taking her hand in mine and nodding. She grins excitedly. "Can I be the godmother?""Of course you can!" I giggle."Is it a boy or a girl?" she questions further. Mrs Johnson looks up from drying the dishes before shaking her head sadly. She's been on her feet all day, doing everything she can, for Aaron. I can tell by the way she walks, talks and moves. She's stressed. I feel sorry for her."I don't know yet." I admit. "I hope it's a boy. Raising a girl seems like such a challenge.""It'll have your kindness, your hair and Aaron's eyes." she giggles. "When Aaron comes back from camp, you have to tell him. He'll be so happy."My heart plummets at the mention of his name. Although, we all know where Aaron is right now, Lily has no idea.

  I groan, vomiting into the toilet basin once again. Tessa proceeds to hold back my hair, as I wash out my mouth and drink another glass of water. The sickness inside of me, only proceeds to become worse over the past few days. She hands me another packet of tissues, and I flush the vomit away.I bite my lip wistfully. If only it were that simple. If only I could just pull the chain on my life, and wash away my problems, just that easily. I haven't heard from Aaron in a week. The Johnson family, is never home anymore. I'm starting to miss Lily too. How would she be coping with all of this? Her older brother, now in prison.How is Aaron coping?Tessa nudges me with her toe, and I turn to her. She's smirking, showing me the pregnancy test. "Charlotte Knight, you are positive."I grin. "Really?"She nods her head quickly, her face beaming. "I'

  I scrunch my eyes at the bright light that is sipping through my closed eyelids. I feel powerless and heavy. The room is pristine clean and gloomy. Typical hospital bed, IV and monitors beeping. The walls are a sickly green colour and the linens are gray.Suddenly, I hear the movement of someone standing right next to me. A hand takes mine, and I angle my head slightly, hoping to see Aaron. But instead, my mother is gazing down at me, her eyes clouding over with worry and anxiety."Good God, you're okay." she whispers, smiling sadly. But I can see the tears forming in her eyes. "You had me so worried, Charlotte. I can't believe you just disappeared without calling or texting. My baby girl..."My stomach churns with guilt and sadness. I sit up properly on the hospital bed, lifting a hand to feel my temple. There is a bandage wound around my head, but the pain is still there. I turn to my

  "Are you still sore?"I groan, before shrugging my shoulders and turning over on my side to face him properly. Aaron grins, gently tracing the curves of my lips with his thumb, his palm resting gently on my cheek. I close my eyes, exhausted. "A bit. You were my first."He doesn't say anything at first, before gently tilting up my chin, and pressing his lips against mine softly. "You were my best."2 hours later...."Aaron, where's the bathroom again?" I frown, dragging my fingers through my messy hair. He's still lying under the covers, and doesn't respond to me. Huffing angrily, I slap his arm through the sheets and he groans, turning over on his side."Leave me be." he grumbles, his voice muffled from the sheets. Somehow, his voice sounds even sexier when he's half asleep. If that's even possible. I grin, slapping his arm once again.
