*Charlie’s POV*
“M-months?!” Frank stuttered in shock.
“Yeah,” I replied biting my lip again “Sorry Frankie, I know I should have discussed it with you but she sounded so desperate! I couldn’t say no!” I explained to him.
“Don’t worry about it,” he sighed.
I smiled at him and hugged him.
“Thank you Frankie, I knew you’d understand,” I squealed at him
“Yeah, that’s me, the all round understanding guy! So, when’s she getting here?” she questioned.
“In two hours!” I replied looking at my watch.
“ two hours?!” he asked in disbelief.
“Yes! Which mean’s you have to get going or you wont be there for when she lands!” I replied before handing him his car keys and Lolly’s flight information and ushering him out the door with his shoes barely even on his feet.
I stayed glued to the spot I was standing in until I heard the car pull out of the drive way then counted to twenty to make sure Frank had defiantly gone before I ran into the kitchen, and snatched my bag from the counter.
As I pulled out my phone to call mom to confirm tonight’s arrangements a noise in the living room distracted me.
“Frank?” I called.
No reply.
“Who’s there?” I demanded.
Oh nice one Charlie, classic horror flick moment you just made there.
I walked into the front room only to find it empty.
Ok. So, this is getting creepy.
“Scared Charlie?” a voice from behind me asked.
The voice sent shivers up my spine. It seemed so familiar yet it didn’t sound like anyone I knew.
“You know me Charlie, remember? From all those years ago…” came the voice again.
Then suddenly I realised who it was.
“Why are you here!” I hissed
“M-months?!” Frank stuttered in shock.
“Yeah,” I replied biting my lip again “Sorry Frankie, I know I should have discussed it with you but she sounded so desperate! I couldn’t say no!” I explained to him.
