I didn't know what to do? Whom to call? I was growing more worried sick as clock ticks.

It was 3:17 in the morning and I am pacing around my room. Should I call Brandon to ask if he got any lead?

No, he is already worried I shouldn't cause more. But I would go crazy if I don't do anything.

"Fuck that" I grab my phone to call Brandon but I got a call from unknown number.

"Hello?" I speak. Who might it be?

Silence...

"Hello" I said again. Suddenly I felt a weird feeling in my chest.

"Charles" I whisper

"Liv" his voice was so weak that I could barely hear.

"Oh my god, Charles. Where are you? Are you okay?" I was so worried, as tears started welling up into my eyes.

"I miss you Livvvvvv"

My heart skipped a beat. I was longing to hear his voice. I miss you too Charles.

"Are you okay? Why haven't you been home for 2 days" I changed the topic

"Umm, I do-don't knowwww" he slurped

"Are you drunk?" I asked now more worried

"Ahh little" he sounded tired, sleepy

"Where are you? Tell me?"

"Will you come here to get me?" Hope evident in his voice

Should I? What if he hurts me again?

Dammit he needs you. Just go for God sake.

"Livvvvv, are youuu there" I heard a crash on the other side of phone.

"Yeah I will come. Tell me where you are?" I agreed

"Remember th-the place I to-took you where we kissed for the first time" he voice was barely audible but I heard it. The cliff. Tears started to fall down from my eyes.

"Okay I'm coming" I said as I started wearing my shoes.

"Don't end the call" I couldn't say no.

Damn you heart.

I was half away from the place, his call was still on and I could hear his soft breathing.

"Liv?"

Everytime he says that, I get goosebumps all over my body

"Yes?"

"You still angryyy with m-me? He hesitantly asked

"I'm not angry" I said. I'm not angry I'm upset and hurt.

"You-"

"Charles we can talk about this when I get there" I can't drive if he keep asking me such questions

"hmm"

As I reached the place it was so dark the only light was from the car's headlight. I kept it on and stepped outside. Stone crunching beneath my shoes as I walk forward, suddenly I saw a dark figure as I moving closer I saw Charles sitting there with his head on his knees and phone tightly pressed on his ears like his life depends on it.

"Charles" I whisper making him turn around

"you c-came" he tried standing in his feet but stumble down back causing a loud crash. That's when I notice empty bottles of alcohol lying next to him

My heart broke seeing him in such situation. He looked up.

"Liv" a sob escape from my mouth as I ran towards him.

I cannot hold it back anymore. I hugged him, wrapping my arms around him. He rested his face on my shoulder as he winched.

Pulling myself back, "what happened?" I asked as I saw his hand all red.

"Just a scratch" he kept looking into my eyes like he can't believe I was really here.

"Let me see" I grabbed his hand examining it.

"It's bad, you need to get it treatedt" I said as I looked up to find he was already looking at me all this time.

Clearing my throat, "come I will take you home" I pulled him up as he slides his arms around my shoulder.

I settled him inside the car. Damn he's heavy.

Driving to his house, I kept glancing at his sleepy figure. I have never seen him like this. Was it because of me? Or something else happened?

I swore to myself that I would never talk to him again and here I'm helping his drunken self. Life is so unpredictable.

My phone ting with message notification. I looked at the message

"I told you to stay away from him"

- Unknown

I have been getting these messages for almost a week. I don't know who the person is. First I thought its Mariah but she don't have my number. I snapped back my mind to the road

"Charles we are here" I said once I parked the car.

"Hm?" He looked at me with his red eyes.

I hop out of the car to help him.

We slowly walked towards the elevator.

Once we reached his place, I halt my steps. All memories flooded back inside my head. I can't go there, not again.

"Liv?" Charles called.

He could barely stand. You selfish freak.

Inhaling sharply I typed the code to open the door.

I kept my eyes down as I settled him on couch.

"Why don't you go and take shower, while I get you a glass of warm milk" I tell him, not looking into his eyes.

"Okay" he tried standing up but falling down back on the couch. Ignoring my thumping heartbeat, I helped him up and walked to his room. I was out of breath when we reached.

"You go take shower, I will keep your clothes on bed" I said once he was inside the bathroom.

"Liv-" he begins but I turned around and walked towards his big closet. I remember how I reacted when I first saw his closet with hundreds of business suits, sports and casual wear. His shoes and watch collection literally blew my mind. I shake my head and grabbed a t-shirt with a sweatpants laying them down on the bed.

The water was still running so I decided to go downstairs to warm the milk up. I looked inside the fridge, he might be hungry too.

I decided to make him some toast with milk. I watched as the milk was getting warm.

I have so many questions building inside of me. Should I ask him and give him a chance to explain or he will just lie to my face again?

I heard footsteps making me snap out of my thoughts. I turned around to look at him but gasp at how close he was.

My breath got stuck, he's standing so close to me I could feel his breath on my cheeks.

"Liv" he breaths

I close my eyes as weird feeling started bubbling up inside me. I felt his hands on my cheeks, his soft warm hands. I fought hard not to lean but I couldn't help myself. I slowly open my eyes as I looked straightly into his deep intense blue eyes. He started to lean down coming closer. Breathing shakily, I welcomed his soft lips.

He gently brush his lips against mine making me realize how much I missed them. I kissed him back as he pulled me more close to him. My hands automatically went to his wet locks.

We both moaned, savoring every touch. He started kissing my jaw softly then coming back to my lips.

We pulled away, gasping for air. Our forehead touching, eyes closed. I slowly looked at him to see a smile playing on his lips.

"I missed you" he opens his eyes

"I missed you too" I said it back. I did, I missed him every second.

He smiled and kissed me forehead.

"How are you feeling now?" I asked as I put some distance between us.

"Much better" he replied making me smile a little. He still look a bit tipsy

"You might be hungry so I made you some toast too" I poured the milk into the glass and toast on a plate.

"Thanks" he took them and we walked towards the living room, sitting on the couch. Placing the glass on the table, he grabbed my arms and pulled me closer to him. Warmth of his body instantly made me sleepy but my phone started ringing loudly.

"Maybe it's Brandon. He was worried about you" I stood up walking to his room where my phone was.

The phone stopped ringing when I reached there. I checked to see the number but there was no call suddenly a message tone rang. I looked at the table to see it was coming from Charles phone.

"Charles it's your phone" I yelled loudly

Ting, ting, ting. It was nonstop.

I debated if I should check or not. Then again the phone started ringing, I grabbed the phone to take it to Charles but the name I saw on it made me stop on my track.

Charles came inside the room looking at me.

"Why is Mariah calling you?" I asked my eyes still on the phone

"I uh I-"

I opened his phone as there was no passcode. Mariah messaged popped on the top.

I will tell her. I will show her this picture.

It read.

What picture?

The next thing I saw ripped my heart.
