Destined For Greatness

Charlotte's p.o.v

"How would you save me if you're scared of me? How would you help me if every movement i make feels like I'm luring you? How would you do t...". Before i knew it, his lips touched mine as he pulled me closer to himself.

I don't know why his kiss felt so different. I mean it's not like i haven't had a kiss before but his feels so different. But why?

I quickly pulled away as i caught him staring at me. It was those kind of stares you have when you regret an action. He stood afar off as he wiped his lips with his hands.

I didn't know why but suddenly tears started rushing down my cheeks. Why am i even crying? i asked myself.

Eric couldn't look me in the eye anymore. He was pacing about hitting his hand on the wall. Then it finally hit me. This was why he was avoiding me. This was why he didn't want to get closer to me.

He turned to face me. "Charlotte". He called trying to come closer to me but i quickly ran out of his room. I almost collided with Mike who was giving me strange looks but i didn't say a word to him. I needed to leave that place before i become more crazier than i already am.

Tessy and Miranda rushed to meet me. Outside the house, i bursted into tears. I tried suppressing it but the more i try, the more the tears roll down my cheeks profusely.

"Chelsea". Miranda called standing next to me with her hand on my shoulder.

"I hate my life". I said. "Why can't i have a normal life like everyone else? why do i have to be the one going through this s**t? what did i do to deserve this? what?" I asked myself as i sobbed. "Why me Mira?". I asked her looking her straight in the eye. I could tell she was about crying too. I turned to Tessy who was trying so hard to avoid looking at me.

"I know why". Tessy said with her face turning towards me. "You're a demon".

"Tessy". Miranda called trying to caution her.

"Don't Tessy me". She said as she walker towards me. "You're going through all this because you deserve it. No demon needs peace".

I tried my best not to cry but her words felt like knife being stabbed right to my chest. "Tess".

"I hate you Chelsea. All you do is take things that don't belong to you. First, it was Miranda...later it was Michael and now you have Eric wrapped around your fingers. You should be grateful for the kind of privileges you're enjoying instead of complaining all the time".

"Tessy...How could you....I thought we are..." I couldn't complete the words. Maybe we weren't friends. Maybe she was just pretending to like me. I knew she was jealous of me but i didn't know that one day she would hurt me this much. I turned to Miranda to see if she agrees with everything Tessy said but when she didn't meet my eyes nor say anything, i knew she had the same thought.

i smiled and nodded. Without saying a word, i walked away from them. At some point i was hoping they would run after me but i was wrong. Now, I'm alone in this world with my problem.

Michaels p.o.v

"what was that all about?". I asked my brother who was sitting on his bed. He didn't reply me so i decided to go closer to him maybe he didn't hear me. "What the hell happened? and why did she run off like that?". i asked again.

Eric looked up at me and first time in a long time, i saw his eyes already red and watery. Had he been crying? but why?.

"Bro". I said coming closer to him but he stopped me from touching him.

"I just want to be alone". He said. "Please". I didn't need to be told twice. I nodded and left his room, shutting the door after me.

Eric's p.o.v

Right now i feel so miserable. Why did i kiss her? Does that mean i am not who i thought i am and everything was just a facade? I asked myself. Standing up from the bed, i paced my room with my hand on my head. Where do i start from? How does God see me now? what am i to do now?

I didn't know what else to do so i got down on my knees as i closed my eyes. "Dear God". I started. "I don't know if we're still on the same page on not but please....do not leave me. Do not cast me away from your presence and send not your Holy Spirit away from me. I am sorry for allowing my fleshly desires to take hold on me. Please God! Don't let the devil use this against me....Please i beg of you...please". I pleaded with tears in my eyes. "I promise from now on, i am going to avoid her no matter what...even if she's dying or lost or.....". i swallowed back my words because i knew that wasn't what God wanted. "Give me the grace....The grace i need to save her without having those desires.... i would be lying if i say i am not attracted to her God but You know my heart already. I do wanna help her but i can't if you don't help me. Thank you God for giving me another chance. Thank you". I didn't need a feeling to know my prayers are answered or a sign to know I've been forgiven. If i have faith and believe then I am.

I got up as i went straight for my Bible and immediately i saw a verse that got my attention. "Let him that think he stands, let him take heed lest he falls". This was a passage i needed. I thanked the Lord for revealing his word to me as i went on studying the passage with a smile on my face.
