SIX YEARS AGO

We hung out almost everytime, she was either at my place or I was at hers. It started when she was mocked for wearing big skirts to a party. I'd asked her to come home with me, she accepted and it became like a routine.

She made me read those boring romance novels with her. I'd help her with her assignments. Mum eventually knew about her, she had sleepovers some times.

She'd tell me about her parents and sister, she told me how much she hates them.

Bianca was jealous of Charlotte, it was obvious.

She made fun of Charlotte whenever she was around. Amo barely came out whenever anyone from school visited. He always has his room locked.

Whenever Charlotte leaves, he'd come out talking about her.

I knew how he felt but i couldn't help myself either, I was attracted to Charlotte while I was meant to be with someone like Bianca. Pretty, classy and wealthy. But I was drawn to Charlotte.

At an early age, I knew I needed Charlotte.

Charlotte's sister was pretty looked exactly like their mum.

Even at age 9, Jessica flirted with me while Charlotte cowered away.

Why couldn't she see she was at least worth it?
