Charlie's POV:

I wake up with a horrible headache, this must be what a hangover feels like, why the hell would anyone want one of these? I'm never drinking again.

"Good afternoon sleepy head." P smiles as she makes her way into the room with a large cup of green juice.

"What the hell is that?" I question with a disgusted look on my face

"This is for you, drink it, it'll make you feel better." She assures me.

"I don't think so, that'll make me vomit." I laugh softly as I sit up.

"You know Zay never took his eyes off you the entire night." She says as she hands me the drink and sits on the bed next to me.

"Have you spoken to dad this morning?" I change the subject instantly.

"Yes, and he is expecting you home tonight."

"Right, well I guess I'll down this green slime and be on my way."

I arrive home shortly after dinner time and make my way into the kitchen.

"Hey honey." Mom smiles as she makes her way over and throws her arms around me. "I was starting to think you were never coming home." She laughs softly.

"I'll always come to you Momma." I smile as I return her hug.

"Did you have a good weekend?"

"I did." I nod "We went to a club last night and had a few drinks, and we danced it was nice to spend time with P again."

"I'm glad honey." She smiles

"Hi Sweetheart." Dad enters the kitchen dressed in his gym shorts, no shirt and looking like a hot mess.

"Don't even come near me." I giggle as I place my hand up stopping him from hugging me.

"Aw what, your mother loves my sweaty hugs." He jokes

"Okay one that's disgusting and two I'm not mom so back up." I continue to laugh.

"We had officer Bradley over yesterday morning." Dad folds his arms across his chest.

"Right." I nod my head slowly.

"They want you to go into the station and make a formal complaint."

"Oh." I bite down on my bottom lip softly.

The last thing I want to do is go in there and make a formal complaint against the boss's son, but if that's what needs to be done, I'll do it. Deep down I know I'm not only doing this for me I'm also doing it for every other woman Tyler may come across in his life.

"Okay." I nod.

"Okay?" Dad asks surprised

"Okay I'll go there and I'll do it." I tell them looking at the ground

"I can come with you?" Dad offers.

"Or me." Mom adds "Or both of us, whatever you want."

"No, I need to do this on my own." I look up from the ground and back at them. "I can't promise you that I'll go in tomorrow, but I will go." I smile softly

"Take whatever time you need sweetheart, the station isn't going anywhere and if you change your mind, you know we can always come with you."

"I know, thanks dad." I kiss his cheek, still refusing his hug his sweaty body, then I make my way over to Mom and give her another long hug. "Thanks Mom." I pull back from the hug
