I stand frozen at the door not daring to turn, I could tell who it was by their voice. Charlie remained behind me with his hand on my back, the door was wide open at this point where my neighbours smile at me, but I couldn't return the smile.    "Dad?" I hear Marley ask then he begins to cry along with my mother but I shake my head.    "I can't do this" is all I say walking out the house, I hear my dad start calling my name but I don't turn my head even for a second.    Charlie unlocks the car where I immediately climb in, out the corner of my eye I see someone running out of the house but I shake my head turning to look at Charlie. He sends me a soft smile turning the car on, before the person could reach my door we were driving away. 

For the whole lesson after that James didn't utter word, Tom on the other hand wouldn't shut up. He was going on about how proud he was of me and how he knew I'd do that one day, I didn't know where that came from in me but I'm kinda glad I did it. Once the lesson was over Tom and I head to English, a lesson Charlie was in and I actually couldn't wait to see him. Tom and I make our way down the hall, my arm linked with his as he went on and on about what happened, by the end I was laughing at him. As we walk into the class Charlie was already there, Tom had to stop off to chat this girl up and wouldn't let me leave, he didn't get her number if you were wondering. Charlie sends me a smile as we walk over to our seats, Lily sends me a smile where I look at Charlie and shrug. I take my seat beside her directly in front of Charlie, Lily immediately smiles as sit down.    "I was hoping you'd sit next to me" she smiles,
