The addict and the teacherWords: 3402

Amelia knocked on Charlie's door, standing there her nerves start to kick in so goes to turn around and get out of the place but that was before the door opened revealing Charlie in her sports bra and boxers.

'Amelia hey, what you doing here? Is everything okay?' Charlie asked genuinely. Once Charlie got a closer look she could see the bloodshot and puffy eyes. She walked up to Amelia and hugged her. Amelia didn't expect it so she tensed up but didn't take her long to hug her back.

'It's okay, I got you' Charlie spook soothingly to her. Amelia started to cry more and completely broke down infront of Charlie. But Charlie didn't let her go. She wanted to be there for her in anyway possible.

'Come sit down love' Charlie spoke and Amelia followed her to the couch in her room. 'You gonna tell me what's happened or you just gonna keep soaking my chest' Charlie said jokingly which earned a chuckle from the crying woman in her arms. 'Nothing I just needed some space, and you're the only person that came to my mind' Charlie felt butterfly's in her stomach when Amelia said that.

Once Amelia calmed down they both laid there in eachother arms. Both feeling at peace. It was silent but not the uncomfortable silence the nice kind. 'Do I need to kick anyone's ass' Charlie asked with a raised eyebrow. Amelia got up from her chest and started laughing. She then pointed a finger at Charlie. And said seriously. 'No, no more fighting, I don't want to be bailing you out of jail anytime soon' she said it jokingly but they both knew she meant it.

Charlie stared at Amelia and then kissed her soft lips. 'I don't want sex' Amelia quickly said and shuffled back. 'Hey hey that's okay we don't have to have sex we can just chill order some food and watch some movies, how does that sound?' Charlie's shocked her self when she said that she's never had a woman in her room without it being for sex. But Amelia Cruz was different she wasn't just anyone woman. She was the green eyed beauty that Charlie had fallen for.

Amelia smiled brightly at that 'I would love that Charlie, thank you'. Charlie ordered the food and got everything set up for there movie night. 'So how about a horror' Charlie spoke. Amelia nodded her head excitedly.

'Why did you say yes to the horror if you're not gonna watch it' Charlie said through laughing. Amelia just looked up unimpressed 'I like them it's just the jump scares can be abit to much sometimes' she replies in the sweetest voice. Charlie just smiled and hugged her closer to her chest.

After food they started cleaning up the mess. Amelia's jumper came up a-bit revealing her wrists which were already starting to bruise. Without hesitation Charlie took ahold of them quickly but gently. 'What the hell happened, who did this to you?' Charlie spoke her anger rising now. 'It was an accident okay, please chill out' Amelia pleaded with her. But it fell on death ears. 'Amelia' Charlie warned. 'Okay but you promise me you can't get mad and go all big bad Charlie and do something stupid' Amelia says desperately. Charlie side eyed her and sighed dramatically with a 'fine' which made Amelia laugh.

After she told Charlie what had happened. She was crying again. And Charlie just held her. Her blood was boiling she wanted nothing more than to go and kick the shit out of Kelly but she promised. And she really didn't want to break a promsie especially with Amelia.
