Charlie's POV

"I had a tea party with the bad men." I said smiling up at him. He didn't say anything and just kept staring. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Take a picture, it will last longer." I said innocently. The corners of his lips twitched up as he scowled at me. He walked over to me and cut the ropes from around my wrists.

"Let's go." He said softly while leading me out of the room. I looked down the hallway to see four large men in black body armor. They held guns, which looked to be AK-47's. They all nodded in acknowledgment towards the two of us.

"Check the rest of the rooms and the top floor. Don't let there be any survivors." Jacob snapped at the men. They nodded and began breaking open the other doors. Jacob then grabbed my hand and began leading me through the house.

Once outside I sighed. I don't exactly know how long I was stuck in those rooms but it felt nice to be out. The rooms were two compacted and I just love being outside. Jacob led me over to two black vans.

"Wait here." I heard Jacob say. The sound of arguing could be heard slightly. Of course not listening I followed behind him slowly. Blake, Max, and Zander all sat on their knees with three men holding a gun to their head. Jacob began stalking towards them but I ran around him.

Once I got close to the three of them they looked at me with a pout. I scowled at them before dragging my hand across each of their faces, slapping them.

"Damn you three. I told you to leave." I growled at them. The bowed their head to me and didn't say a word.

"We are sorry Charlie. We tried but they got us." Max said slowly. I crossed my arms and glared at the three of them. Slowly my frown started to turn upside down and I laughed.

"Idiots." I said laughing at the three of them. They looked up at me with a confused expression. I turned around to Jacob who looked at me baffled and slightly angry.

"You were gonna let them run?" He questioned, his anger evident in his voice.

"Well I know if you found them you would have shot them and I didn't want that. They threw a tea party for me, untied me, and gave me a cosmic brownie. How could I have let you killed them!" I huffed throwing my arms above me.

"Damn it Charlie! You can't even fucking trust them. Did you forget they were the ones who kidnapped you! Or the fact that they work for the god damn enemy." Jacob snapped at me. I was slightly taken back but I didn't show it.

"If it weren't for them I would have been stuck in a cell with no food or light. They saved my life so I owe them theirs. If you kill them I'll go with them." I said stepping back in front of my new friends.

"Charlie look at us." Blake said. I turned around to face them to see them looking up at me with sad eyes.

"We knew what we were doing when we kidnapped you. We knew the price that would eventually come. It's our time to go." Zander spoke.

"It's alright Charlie, let us go. We have to pay the price of what we did." Max said. Tears streamed down my face as I shook my head.

"Jacob I swear to god if you kill them I will never forgive you." I said turning back to Jacob. His cold stare turned even colder.

"Let then join your gang. They are strong and they can be my guards. They can protect me from the other enemies you have. Please just don't kill them." I dropped to my knees and sobbed.

"Put your guns away." Jacob snapped at the men behind the three idiots.

"If you trust them then I trust you, but if they fuck up they won't be the only one getting punished." He growled down at me. I sobbed and nodded my head.

"Load them in the other van. Victoria and Austin you are coming with me, along with my men." He said to the men around us. Then he turned for me.

"Go ride with your lame excuse of friends." He said staring at me with cold eyes.

As soon as we all got situated in the van I turned to the three goons. The look on their faces made me start sobbing again.

"He hates me." I cried. Max instantly reached out and pulled me over to him so I was crying into his shoulder.

"Jacob hates me." I said shaking my head. Max said nice reassuring words into my ear but I heard none of it.

"He doesn't hate you babes." Zander cooed running his hand up and down my back trying to cool down my sobs.

When we arrived back to the mansion I know I was a complete mess. My crying has stopped but I could feel the tears that stained my cheeks. My nose was slightly runny and my eyes burned so I know my eyes are red.

When the back door was opened I saw Victoria and Austin. They instantly looked towards me but once they saw the state I was in they adverted their gaze. They led us out of the van and towards the front lawn.

After getting on the grass I froze and looked at the mansion before me. I don't want to go in there and face him. Before I could ever turn around he walked out of the mansion, his gave instantly locking onto me.

Regret instantly flashed through his eyes but I turned away. I looked over to Max, Zander, and Blake who all looked at the mansion with amazement in their eyes. After looking over the mansion once more they turned to me.

"Charlie isn't this place amazing!" Max squealed. Zander slapped him on the chest and then muttered something about being girly under his breath.

"I know it's beautiful but I need to go home. This isn't my home. Get settled in here and I will see you guys soon alright." I said smiling softly at them but the smile didn't reach my eyes and I knew they could tell.

"Austin can you drive me home." I said quietly. Austin looked between me and behind me where Jacob stood. He took in the state I was in before slowly nodding. He led me to his car and I got in instantly.

I looked back at Jacob to see him eyes the car I was in, almost like he was checking to make sure it was safe. Austin got into the car and started it, the engine roaring to life. Jacob watched everything like a hawk.

After we had finally left Jacobs torturing stare I sighed.

"He hates me Austin." I said slowly and quietly, my voice breaking softly. He instantly scoffed at my comment.

"He doesn't hate you Charlie. God no matter what you would do you have him wrapped around your finger. Anything you say to him he will do. He just won't get over the fact that you would kill yourself for those fucking idiots." He said gripping the steering wheel a little harder before continuing.

"He feels betrayed that you would let them go after they kidnapped you and almost killed you. You just need to give him time to get his head out of his ass. Those men saved your life no matter how pissed he is." He took a deep breath.

"He will come around to when he is ready. Don't give up on him Charlie. You are the best thing that has ever happened to him and he is just worried about you." He paused for a second. "I saw the regret flash through his face when he took in the state he left you in. He worked so hard to bring you home yet threw you in the dirt and made you ride in the hostage van." He sighed.

"The whole way back to the mansion he was on the phone with the person driving the van. You couldn't hear since the van is sound proof. He knew what state you were in and he freaked. He was constantly asking the driver if you had stopped crying."

"You are his person Charlie. That ring in your finger proves it. That ring was given to him by his mother. He doesn't talk about him family and only will when he is ready. No one besides him has ever wore that ring."

"I have never seen him more distressed then when you were taken. He was a mess and wanted nothing more than to have you home and with him. As his best friend I want what's best for him, and Charlie, you are what's best for him."

"He doesn't hate you so please don't give up on him. He's worth sticking around for." He said when we had finally pulled into my driveway. Two men in black body armor stood at the door way and two black vans were on the road.

"Don't be scared of them. Jacob sent them since someone broke into your house." Austin explained. I nodded and got out of the car.

I waved a final goodbye and walked towards my door. One of the men opened the door for me and gave me a curt nod.

Instantly I went up into my bedroom. As soon as I got into the middle I plopped onto the ground and just stared at the wall.

I am pretty sure I just fucked up one of the only good things going on in my life.
