"Who are you?" I ask as I stop in front of her which causes her to smile
"I'm Carolina, nice to meet you" she says as she holds her hand out for me to shake, which I return
"Do you know where Charlotte is?" I ask with a serious voice which causes her facial expression to turn into a pissed off one as she leads me to a blacked out van
She has a distant look in her eyes.
As if she's remembering something.
As soon as she opens the side door I see Charlotte sitting on a bench while holding her hands over her ribs.
Her hands are covered in a red substance.
Oh shit, she's bleeding!
I quickly hop into the van and help her apply pressure onto her wound.
"What the hell happened?!" I ask with a frantic tone as Carolina closes the door and walks around towards the drivers seat
"It's fine, I'm fine" She grunts out as she leans her head back against the window
"You're not fine, you need to go to a hospital" I say as the van starts moving
"No, I can't go to the hospital" she says which causes me to look at her as if she was insane
Does she want to die?!
"I care about you too much to let you die in front of me" I say which causes her to look down into my eyes with an unreadable expression
What expression is that?
I've never seen it before.
Before I can ask her what happened, again, the van comes to a sudden halt as a teenage boy, who looks to be around our age, throws open the door and rudely tells me to move so that he can put her in the wheelchair beside him.
"Chill Hayden, she's coming with me" Charlotte says with an eye roll as she walks around me and sits in the wheelchair
I get out of the van and walk beside her since this Hayden dude doesn't trust me enough to wheel her.
We walk into a brick mansion which looks beautiful.
"How did this happen?" I ask calmly since everyone is currently running frantically around us
"Trust me," She grunts out in discomfort as she moves in her wheelchair
"You don't want to know" she says before she's wheeled into an all white room. As I go to walk in there Carolina grabs my arm and shakes her head.
"I don't think you're ready to know the truth" she says with a sad smile
"Is she in any kind of danger?" I ask desperately as she leads me towards the stairs
"I'm sorry. It's not my place to tell" she says as we walk upstairs which causes me to nod
I'm not going to force information out of her if she feels uncomfortable about it.
I'm sure Charlotte will tell me soon.
"Wait in here. I'll come up and tell you when she's done getting surgery" she says as she opens the door to a modern looking room
I nod before I walk into the room which causes Carolina to close the door behind me. I turn on the flat screen and pick a random movie to watch.
Please god, let Charlotte get out of this safely.
I don't want to lose her.
