Henry's pov
It's been two days since the whole Amy drama, Charlotte is still avoiding me, my mind drift back to my conversation with Jasper two days ago when he walked in on me crying at junk'n'stuff

Two days ago

H: she probably hates me by now, man I messed up! I'm such a fool.

J: bro, pull yourself together.

H: I messed up dude, she won't even let me explain

J: Hen, stop crying and tell me what happened.

H: I just tried to talk to char about what happened and she didn't even want to hear my explanation, I'm sure she hates me.

J: Henry, she doesn't hate you, she's just hurt and maybe a little mad but she doesn't hate you, right? A girl can't hate you for something like that, right?

H: not helping dude!

J: sorry

H: what I'm I going to do?

J: I think you should try and salvage your friendship with her before thinking of other things.

H: you're right bro, I should. Thanks man

J: any time, now let's get you out of here you need fresh air

H: what about Ray?

J: ehh.. He'll manage.

H: what if there's an emergency?

J: he'll beep you.

H: bro what if...
He placed his finger on my lips

J: shush Henry, I'm trying to help you

H: okay first, never do that again and second if Ray flips I'll kill you.

J: got it now let's go

He practically dragged me out of the store.

End of flashback.

I'm on my way down to the mancave. the elevator door opened, shwoz was analyzing alien DNA and Ray was just starring at a photo in his hands, As soon as Charlotte set eyes on me she immediately got up from her sit near the monitor and told Ray she was off to clean the storage room

R: I thought you cleaned it already?

C: yes but shwoz kept his worms there and I have to clean it again.

S: I did not!

R: all by yourself?

C: yeah

R: maybe Henry should help you?

C: NO!..I mean Henry's probably busy, he wouldn't want to.

H: it's fine, I don't mind.

C: but I can do it myself

R: it's settled then, Henry go help Charlotte clean the storage room while I continue starring at this photo of your Mom.

H: what? dude!

R: Mom....itude in Egypt. I said photo of momitude in Egypt.

H: let's just go char.
We went to the tubes.

H: down the tube!
And it went down.

R: she's so hot.

In the storage room
She immediately got down to work, sorting through old boxes piled at one end of the room, I cleared my throat.

H: char, we need to talk.

C: about?

H: I know you've been avoiding me, ever since the whole Amy incident.

C: whattt?

H: Charlotte?
She signed.

C: okay maybe I have been avoiding you

H: why?
C: I guess I just needed time to sort through my feelings and get myself under control.

H: wanna talk about it?

C: nah, I'll be fine, I was just being stupid, sorry if I hurt you by my behavior.

H: it's okay char, I understand.

C: hug?

H: yeah

I got up and wrapped my hands around her tiny frame, I felt peaceful and satisfied I never wanted this moment to end as she rest her head on my chest, we stayed in that position longer than necessary till she broke us apart, I scratched the back of my head awkwardly

H: you know this is the first time we haven't talked in two days since you moved here seven years ago.

I said trying to make things less awkward.

C: yeah, I remember my Mom chasing you guys away.

H: but after days of sneaking into your backyard to play she finally agreed.

I could see her smiling as if remembering those childhood days.

H: let's do something char, just the two of us, it's been a while since I spent time with my bestie

C: what about the storage room?

H: we can finish that later.

C: Ray won't let us leave.

H: we'll sneak out, the mancave has many trap doors.

C: Ray's will be mad, Henry we can't leave.

H: will you stop being the 'good girl' for once char, and let loose.

C: good girl? What does that mean?

H: it means you always follow the
rules, it's boring.

C: me being responsible and thoughtful in making decision doesn't mean am a 'good girl'?

H: prove it then.

C: how?

H: ditch your job and come with me.

She hesitated for a few seconds.

C: lead the way Hart.

H: feel like breaking the rules Paige?

C: move Hart!

She said sassily, I laughed.

I was so glad things were finally normal, I think, I was happy, I would be happy as long as Charlotte's by my side, I'll be more than happy. I smiled as we took the trap door that led to the back of junk'n'stuff.  it was Charlotte and Henry's time! Starting now.

Boring chapter I know, I was just trying to put something down I know it's not good but just manage, I promise next one will be better.

Don't forget to tap that star, it really makes my day.

Till next time, love y'all❤❤
