"Seven minutes in heaven. You and Charlotte," he said glaring.
"Oh come on, don't be such a child," Olivia complained. "Whatever, cmon."
She grabbed me by the hand into the tiny spaced closet and shut the door.
"We don't actually have to do this, do...

He left me. And maybe it was my fault for having just a tad bit of faith in him. For thinking he could change.
I could feel a few raindrops, so I began to pick up my pace. It was inevitable that I could escape the rain, and I was soaked within the next two minutes.
After the longest twenty minutes of my life, I finally made it home, dragging in puddles of water at the front door.
"What happened to you?" Henry laughed as he met me at the door. It practically looked like I had been swimming for the past thirty minutes with my clothes on.
"What happened to me? What happened is that sorry excuse of a father flaked out on me!" I complained. I wanted to forgive him. I'm sure he had a good excuse, but I couldn't help but imagine the worst. He left me because he doesn't care.
"Where's mom?" I questioned.
"She left about twenty minutes ago to pick up dinner," Henry said.
"So not once did no one wonder where the heck I was?" I sighed sarcastically. "Unbelievable."
"The world doesn't revolve around you, Charlotte," Henry said, retrieving an apple from the kitchen and heading back upstairs. I could hear the taunting noise as he aggressively bit the apple.
I followed him upstairs, heading to my room. My backpack was completely soaked, so I decided to empty everything out and throw it in the laundry room. I headed back downstairs, until I heard the front door unlock.
"You will not disappoint them again," I heard my mom say. "And you're gonna tell her the truth about everything." She must've been talking to Ryan.
"Tell me the truth about what?" I asked, revealing myself from the wall as I stood at the top of the stairs.
"Hey, honey," My mom began.
"Surely you have a good excuse for abandoning me again, right?" I directed towards Ryan. "For leaving your teenage daughter to roam about the streets in the dark. Did I mention it's raining?" I added, still dressed in the soaking wet clothes I came home in.
"I-I'm sorry Charlotte," He apologized. The most pathetic apology I'd ever heard I might add, besides the ones Chase delivered to Olivia every time he cheated.
"Why did you leave me again?" I asked. There were no words coming out of his mouth. I could see a few bruises on his face from the top of the stairs. Part of me wanted to ask what happened, but I didn't.
