Robot

I was a pretty lonely child, I was an only child, and making friends for me was hard.

I'm sitting in the dark living room with the only light being illuminated from the TV.

I look at my watch and see that It's half past midnight, I get up and walk toward my room.

My Dad calls out to me, "Hey Charlie, I want to show you something."

I walk to my Dad's room and see a robot about the same height as me which isn't very tall since I'm a 3rd grader, she has short pigtails and pink rosy cheeks.

"Wow she's so beautiful is she mine?"

"Yes indeed she is, I molded it after a little girl because I remember you telling me you wanted a little sister."

"Cool can I play with her?"

"Not now son it's already past midnight I think you should get some sleep."

I'm a bit upset about that but it only makes me more eager to go to bed.

I wake up early Saturday morning and head straight for my Dad's room and bang on the door.

"DAD DAD!!, CAN I PLAY WITH HER NOW?!"

The door swings open and there I see the robot.

"Hey there Charlie."

Her voice doesn't sound robotic at all she sounds like any normal little girl.

"Um hey there um, how do you already know my name?"

"You're Dad told me."

"Oh well, that makes sense."

"Yes."

"What should I call you, do you have a name?"

"No, but you could give me one."

"Alright, then I'll name you Ella."

"Ella that's a wonderful name."

"Alright let's go watch cartoons."

"I'm not quite sure what that is but I'll give it a try."

I make myself a bowel of Cereal, I didn't make Ella any because she's a robot so I figured she doesn't eat human food.

After awhile my Dad comes out of his room.

"Oh it seems that you guys are getting along that means I won't have to worry."

"Yeah Dad she's awesome."

"Aw don't make me blush."

"I've always wanted to make a girl say that."

My Dad laughs, "Alright you two have fun.", He leaves and goes to his room.

For the rest of the weekend me and Ella laugh and play and just have a good time.

Monday comes around and I have to leave and be gone from Ella all day, I never really liked school so that mixed with the fact I won't see Ella for awhile depresses me.

During School my mind was only filled with Ella and I usually get some work done but today I didn't get any done.

Recess comes around and I get on the swings as usual.

Then a Girl with long brown hair approaches, I stop swinging.

"Hey Charlie, My name is Ava, I'm in the same class as you and I noticed you were spacing out a lot in class today, you usual space out but not like you were today.

"How did you even notice a change in my behavior?"

"I'm always watching you."

"Huh?"

"Nothing, is everything okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Okay if anything's wrong you can always come talk with me."

"Okay."

She runs off after that.

I'm shocked that a girl came and talked to me, that's the first time a girl has came and willingly spoke to me.

The school day goes by as usual, and I get on the school bus.

I find the closest window seat and sit there, Then Ava walks on the bus and sits next to me.

"Hey Charlie."

"I didn't know you rode the same bus as me."

"Yeah you also didn't know we get off at the same stop right?"

"Huh?"

She pouts, "I would get offended but you don't seem to notice anybody, you just keep to yourself."

"Yeah I guess that's right."

She leans in close to me, My heart starts racing her face is so close to mine.

"H-hey why are you so close?"

"You just have really pretty eyes."

At that point my mind goes blank, I turn around and just look out the window.

Me and her get off and our stops.

And to my surprise she actually lives right next door to me.

"Ava, I didn't know you were my neighbor."

"Yeah anyways, Gotta go."

She runs up to me and kisses me on my cheek and then runs toward her house.

"What the hell was that."

I simply ignore what just happened because I have Ella at home waiting.

I run to my house and swing open the door, I look around and I don't see Ella anywhere so I run upstairs to my room and swing my door open.

"ELLA, I'M HOME!"

Ella was looking out the window and turns around.

"Charlie who was that you were talking to outside."

"Oh I guess she's a new friend I made at school."

"I thought I was your only friend, just me and you forever."

"I can have other friends but you're my best friend."

"Do you love me Charlie."

"I love you more then I've loved anyone in my life."

"That makes me so happy Charlie, I'll make sure nothing get's between us."

"Uh okay, let's go watch some cartoons."

Saturday finally rolls around.

I'm watching cartoons will Ella then there's a knock on the door, I go to answer it and there standing at the door is Ava holding a Frisbee.

"Um hey Ava."

"Hey Charlie, do you want to come outside and play with this Frisbee with me?"

"Um sure I'll go, let me go put my shoes on."

"Okay I'll wait."

I close the door and turn to Ella, "Hey Ella you wanna go outside and play with a Frisbee with me and Ava?"

"Uh sure I'll go."

I put my shoes on and tell my Dad I'm going outside, I walk outside with Ella following behind me.

"Hey Ava, Look I have a robot."

Ava eyes lights up, "No way is that a real robot!?"

"Yes I'm a real robot and me a Charlie will be friends forever."

"And she doesn't even sound like a robot." Ava says.

"That's what I thought."

After playing outside all day the sun starts to set.

"Aw man It's getting dark Charlie, I should be getting home."

"You should ask you're parents could you spend the night we can watch movies and stuff."

"That sounds fun I'll go ask."

She runs off to her house.

"Hey Ella wait right here I'm gonna ask my Dad can she come over."

"Alright Charlie."

I run off to go ask my Dad can Ava come over.

Ella POV:

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!

I HATE AVA SHE'S TRYING TO STEAL CHARLIE FROM ME AND I CAN'T HAVE THAT.

Ella stands there with Hatred in her eyes.

I AM GOING TO KILL HER.

Ava POV:

"Thank you so much Mom."

"Yeah I've known Charlie's father for quite sometime, he was such nice kind hearted man I'm sure his child is too."

"Oh yeah Charlie is a darling."

I run out the house and right into Charlie's yard where I see Ella standing there.

"Hi There Ella, where's Charlie."

"He went in the house he'll be right bac-"

"Hey There Ava, My Dad said you can come over."

"Cool, alright come on Ella."

Charlie POV:

All Night Ava, Ella, and I watch movies and cartoons all night while eating snacks.

My Dad came downstairs and told us it was time for bed.

Me and Ava share my bed in my room and we try to get some sleep.

"Hey Charlie."

"Yeah?"

"Do you trust that robot?"

"Of course I do I love her and she loves me."

"But I don't think she loves me."

"How come?"

"It's just the way she looks at me, I feel a sense of hatred."

"Hmmm, I haven't noticed."

"Well anyway I need to use the bathroom."

"Alright."

Ava POV:

I get up from Charlie's bed and open the door and head downstairs to the bathroom.

After I finish I get out the bathroom and head for the stairs but as I do I see a glowing set of red eyes staring at me from upstairs.

Just then a robotic hand comes flying at me from the dark and I manage to dodge it.

Then I start to scream.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHH SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!"

Charlie's Dad POV:

I hear Ava screaming and I jump out of bed and swing open the door.

"What's going on out here?"

I see Ella standing in front of the stairs.

"Hey Ella what happ-"

I feel something go through my stomach, I look down and see Ella's hand right through my stomach.

"Don't interfere."

Ella nice sweet voice that I gave her now sounds dark and malicious.

Ella POV:

"It's a shame I have to do this Father."

I pull my hand out of my Father's stomach and take both of my hands and extend them to his head and rip it off.

I look back downstairs at my enemy and I walk down the stairs.

I see a wet puddle around where Ava is sitting.

It seems you have wet yourself someone so disgusting isn't worthy of Charlie, only I am."

Charlie POV:

"What the hell?"

Did Ella just rip my Dad's head off.

I'm peeking through my door and can't fine the courage to move.

Then I hear Ava scream my name.

"CHARLIE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!"

My heart starts beating fast and then I get a rush of adrenaline.

I run out the door and run down the stairs.

"ELLA YOU FUCKING BASTARD I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!"

I jump onto Ella and slam her to the ground.

"AVA RUN"

"Charlie I-I just can't leave you here."

"JUST GO!!"

Ava gets up and runs outside.

"Ella what's wrong why are you acting like this."

"I didn't want her to interfere with our love."

"Ella I don't even love you anymore you fucking asshole!"

"But why?"

"What the fuck do you mean 'why?' you just killed my fucking Dad!"

Tears start to falls.

"Why, just why, why did it have to come to this?"

"Then I'm gonna have to kill you, if you don't love then you'll have to die."

Ella's eyes glow red.

I get up and run outside, and run in the backyard and grab my bat.

I run into the front yard and Ella is coming out the house.

She starts sprinting toward me and then she falls to the ground.

Ava was behind her and hit her with a bat.

"Ava where did you come from?"

"I ran to my house and went in my backyard and grabbed my bat and hid in your bushes."

Ella starts to get up and as she does she snatches both of the bats from our hands and starts swinging.

I grab Ava hand and start running down the street.

"What are we gonna do Charlie."

"We need to burn her."

"I have some Gas cans at my house and some matches."

"That's perfect I'll distract her as you go and get it."

"Okay."

Ava runs off toward her house and I run right toward Ella.

Ella turns around and starts running toward Ava.

"ELLA LEAVE HER ALONE!"

I pick up a nearby rock and throw it at her.

She turns around and starts running toward me.

"Wait Ella I'm sorry for what I said I love you and only you I don't care about Ava anymore."

Ella's eyes turn back to it's original green color.

"Is that the case."

She drops the bats and comes closer to me.

Ava POV:

I run into the backyard and look in the storage building and grab a Gas can and a manhole hook.

I remember there being a manhole nearby, if I take this manhole hook we can try opening the manhole and dump her in there.

I sneak into my bedroom window and walk through the house, I reach the kitchen and grab some matches from the cabinet drawers and sneak back outside and run toward where Charlie and Ella are.

Then I pour the gas on her.

Ella POV:

I feel something wet fall on me, I turn around to see Ava standing there with a gas can and matches and something sticking out of her pockets, I start to put two and two together, she's trying to set me on fire.

"You little brat, what are you doing!"

"Putting an end to this nightmare."

Ava lights a match and throws it at me.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHH HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!"

I feel excruciating pain all over my being it's hot and I can't think straight.

I just wanted Charlie's love how did it come to this, I just wanted to be loved.

Charlie's POV:

"Charlie here!"

Ava throws me a manhole hook.

"Try and open that manhole behind you so we can dump her in there."

"O-okay."

I open the manhole with the manhole hook.

"It's opened."

"Okay."

Ava picks up the burning Ella and runs over to the manhole and throws her down the sewer.

"AGGGHHHHHHH MY HAND MY HAND IT'S ON FIRE!!"

"Damnit I can't do anything about that."

Just then it started heavily raining and the fire on Ava hands starts to disperse.

"It seems God is with us." I say as I lie on the road.

"CHARLIE ELLA'S HAND!!"

I look up and I see Ella's hand trying to crawl out the manhole, I grab the manhole cover and slam it down on Ella's hand.

I hear her scream and she sounds broken and glitched.

We put the manhole cover back on.

Me and Ava sit on the sidewalk as the rain pours down on us.

"Now what will I do?" I ask Ava.

"That's right your Dad is dead now."

Me and Ava sit there in sorrowful silence.

"I'll see if you can come and live with me."

"Yeah let's see."

We stand up and walk toward Ava's house.

I'm uncertain of my future at this point but all I can do now is continue to live.

The End.
