Nothing I Can Do

p>I turn back to the parlor to be face to face with Charlie. I flinched. How did he get in front of me without making a sound?

”W-what do you want? ” I asked trying to sound like that didn caught me off guard.

”You, ” He whispered harshly.

”W-what!? ” I asked stupidly. He giggled.

”I want you, Ash, and only you ” He said with a crazy look in his eyes.

”Ugh! ” I exclaimed in disgust. I quickly left, again being careful of my ankle. He started laughing. I went up the stairs as fast as I could while hearing his laughter grow. I went inside of my room and slammed the door.

His laughter echoed throughout the room. Bouncing back and forth against the walls my head. I clutch my head trying to block out that terrible sound. Of that horrible laughter.

I don even know who or why hes here but…I want him out. I want him to leave. I want him gone. I crawl into bed and bury my head into pillows trying to lessen that horrible echo.

Finally, after hours later, I don hear it anymore. Its finally quiet. I sigh in peace. I let the silence buzz around me, making me drowsy, but I refuse to drift off to sleep. I don feel safe while Charlie is going on and about inside the house.

So I let my thoughts wander and I think about that girl again whose name I don know of. I let the memory of that time come to me again and I think about the way she spoke to me and I think about her luxurious lips. About her hair. I think how beautiful she is and to my surprise those poisonous thoughts from before don come.

I sigh in relief and continue thinking of that beautiful girl, even as I drifted off to sleep, the image of her stayed with me.
