Destined For Greatness

Charlotte's p.o.v

Turning to and fro like a pendulum, my ass landed on the floor as my eyes opened. I looked at the room i was in but there was no sign of familiarity in the room. Everything looked strange and beautiful.

"Where the hell am i?". i asked myself packing the room. I tried to remember the events from last night but my brain was empty. Maybe nothing happened. I moved to do door turning the handle to get it open but the door wouldn't budge.

Then a thought hit me. "Am i kidn*pped?". i asked but i shook my head. Kidnappers can't be kind enough to let you sleep in a beautiful room such as this. So if i wasn't kidn*pped then why am i here? I asked.

Just then the door opened as Michael walked in. My eyes opened in shock. "What are you doing here?". I asked Michael who bursted out laughing.

"Let me rephrase that question for you. 'What are you doing here?'? He asked setting the tray of food he bought on the table beside the bed.

"Me?".I asked. Michael nodded with a smile on his face.

"Can we get to see her now?". I heard some voices coming behind the door.

"I almost forgot. You have visitors". Michael said as he opened the door for her friends.

"Miranda....Tessy".I called giving each of them a hug before giving them a group hug.

"Chelsea...we've been worried sick about you". Tessy said. We sat down on the bed while Michael excused us to have some girl time together. "Miranda was going crazy about you. If not that Eric found you only heaven knows what s**t would have happened to you".

I didn't understand what Tessy was rumbling about. What happened last night? and Why was Eric the one that found me? and whose home is this? and why is Michael the one attending to me if it was Eric who found me? and why is Eric not here?

"Chelsea".Tessy called trying to get my attention which she did with a tap of her finger on my shoulder.

"I have a lot of questions". I asked looking at them. "What happened last night?". i asked.

Tessy and Miranda looked at eachother before looking at me where it lingered.

Evan's p.o.v

I was in my room reading the Bible when my mind flashed to the event of last night.

"Flashback".

Immediately i brought Charlotte home, i told Michael that she would be using his room and i made sure to warn him not to think of trying anything with her.

I placed her on the bed as her hand clinged to my shirt making it hard for me to leave. I tried so hard to get her hand off but i don't know why she wouldn't let me go.

"Save me". I heard her mutter in her sleep as i hand slowly fell to her side.

I didn't know if i should take this as a sign or just ignore it but i did the former. I took it as a sign that she needed to be saved and i was ready to help her through it.

I held her two hands as i prayed for her. After i was done praying, I was about leaving her hand and the next thing she did was pull me closer and gave me a kiss.

I quickly pushed her off as i got off the bed then the words that woman said came back to me.

"This girl right here will be your downfall".

I looked at her once again before stepping out of the room and giving Michael the duty to take care of her.

***Reality***

I shook my head as i focused back on the Bible i was reading when suddenly i heard a knock on the door.

I knew it wasn't Michael because Michael doesn't knock before entering and my parents are out for a date or something. So who could it be?

"Come in". I instructed my eyes glued at the door. The door opened and Charlotte walked in shutting the door behind her.

Knowing she was the one, i turned my full attention on her. "Leave the door open". i told her. You can never know what might i happen. I thought as she looked at me weirdly before opening the door.

"I heard you brought me back home".She said her eyes looking dim. It's like the events last night had a big effect on her.

"Yeah". i said finding my voice. "Please have a sit".

She shook her head. "I'd rather stand".

I shrugged. "So what are you doing here? You should be resting".

"Why didn't you come to check on me?". She asked which actually stunned me.

"I thought Michael was doing a good job in that aspect". I told her as i went back to the Bible i was reading. I knew i wouldn't concentrate but i needed a distraction.

"You are sacred of me aren't you?". Charlotte asked. Her voice sounded sad. "You are scared i might lure you into sin and that's why you try so hard to avoid me with every chance you get. Am i right?". She asked.

I stood up to meet her as her eyes held my gaze. "Charlotte".

"Don't try to talk me out of it Eric. Be a man and tell it to my face. Am i right?". She asked again.

I bit my lips trying to suppress my mouth from saying things i would regret. "Charlotte". I called again this time, i grabbed her hands. "You are an amazing person so amazing that the evil knew that and they tried to keep you away from seeing how great you are".

"That's not what I'm asking you Eric". She said trying to removed her hand from mine but i held it tight.

"You scare me Charlotte...yes". I said as i let go of her hand. "I feel like i need to be closer to you and at the same time i feel i need to be far away from you. It's really confusing Charlotte. If i try to stay away from you, something brings me close to you. If i try to stay closer to you, something takes me farther from you and i can't explain why. I'm scared that you will be my downfall".

She smiled but i knew it wasn't a genuine smile. It's those kind of smile where you know you're hurting but you are trying so hard to hide it. "then how would you help me if you are scared of me?. How would you save me if either every of my movement you feel I'm luring you in? How? just how do you expect to do t...." I pulled her close and kissed her as i forget about figuring out if what i did was right or wrong and if there was any punishment for my action.
