Hi! My name is Charlotte Caitlynn Abigail Hennessey and I am from Jacksonville Florida. This is a story about myself and Celtic Thunder my absolute favorite group and..well here it is my story.
I will love you no matter what
Chapter 1
Charlotte's P.O.V.
One day as I was riding in the car with my mom Cathrine and my brother Sean we passed the university of north Florida or UNF "Charlotte when are you going to decide where you are going to college next year? You dont have much longer to decide you know. " "I know mom and I've been thinking... I'd like to try and get accepted somewhere else. " I replied. " Like somewhere in D.C.or California? " She asked. " No somewhere like Europe or the U.K or something like that. " I replied. "' Well what about...OH I know where you could go," "where?" I asked in anticipation. "Ireland." " Ireland, oh mom really? " I asked. " well dont you want to go there. " She asked in dissapointment. " oh mom no thats not how I ment it,
I mean I've always wanted to go there ever since...you know since dad died. " " oh honey I forgot all about that , I mean not your dad dying, but us going to Ireland. That summer we were supposed to go and stay with my brother and sister-n-law, but we didnt did we?"
She said, I shook my head no." Mom could you call aunt Tracy tomorrow and ask them if I can come stay with them next year? "I asked. " Yes...Yes I will but you will have to do some research on the colleges in Derry. " She said. " I will right after school tomorrow. Remember to call her early tomorrow before 2:00 cause they are Five hours ahead of us. " I told her. " I will I'll call her around 11:00. " She answered.
1 year later
Well here I am, Jacksonville international airport with my family and friends all around me. "Bye Maddie Im gonna miss you!" I told my best friend. "Bye Charlotte I'll miss you too , Have a good trip." She said with tears in her Eyes which just made me cry even harder than I already was. " I will " I say wiping the tears off my cheeks. "Goodbye Mrs. O'Donahugh." "Goodbye Charlotte you be good over there." She said. "I will. Bye Gracie, Bye Sydney I'll miss yall ." I say to Maddie's sisters giving each of them a hug. "Bye Charlotte we'll miss you too, have a great trip." Syd said. "Bye mom, Bye Sean I'll miss yall sooo much I told my mom and older brother. Just then we heard my flight being called over the intercom. "Bye guys see yall soon."I told them for the last time. Once I was on the Plane I found my seat, sat down and put my bag under my feet. I only had one bag because I got the others checked in to be put under the plane. After a few minutes of sitting there in silence thinking, my thoughts we're interrupted by a man laughing very loudly. from what I heard his name was Paul because another man said "Paul dont laugh so loudly people are starting to stare." I turned around and saw four men, one looked very young maybe 25 or so, two others who looked to be around 30 one which was the laughing guy, and the last man was bald and very tall and much older he looked about 40. After watching them for a minute I turned back around and there right next to me stood a boy that looked to be about my age with crystal blue eyes, brown slightly curly hair, and skin about my color (which is very pale). He scared me to death when I saw him standing there smiling. I felt my face turn bright red and I turned my head. "Excuse me but is this seat C-2." He asked in the most sweet angelic voice. "Um..Yes." I stuttered staring at him. "well I guess this is my seat then. And I sure am glad to be sharing it with such a pretty face." He said as he sat down next to me. "Thanks." I said blushing even more. "No need to be shy I promise I wont hurt you or anything like that.The names Damian, Damian Mc ginty." He said. "Whats yours?" I replied, "Charlotte Hennessey." "Aah...Your from Florida I asume." He said. "yes." I replied loostening up a bit. Where are you from you have a strange accent you cant be from the United States!" "Oh no, I am from Derry in Ireland." "Oh really I am going up there to live with my Aunt and Uncle while I am in College, But I decided to go see Lumen Christi and look around to see if I like it.." Before I could finish my sentence our conversation was interrupted by a man with light brown hair. "Well..well..well..what do we have here? Damo how did you manage to sit next to this pretty young lady, Hmm." He asked. "My name is Paul Byrom and who do I have the pleasure of meeting today." He asked me. "Charlotte Hennessey." I replied. "Its nice to meet you." He said with a big smiley grin on his face. "Paul go sit down." Damian Said. "Why?" Paul asked. Damian replied. "Because they said to see for your self." And he pointed to the sign that said, 'Buckle up' "Well I'll see yous later." He said walking back to his seat. "Well I guess I'll listen to my I-pod." Damian said. "Oh darnit." I said. "whats wrong? He asked. I replied. " I think I left my I-pod in my luggage bag." "Oh..well..would you like to listen to mine with me?" He asked. "Oh no I wouldnt want to be a bother." "you wouldnt be a bother come on listen, Please." He said giving me the cutest puppydog face ever. "Alright I'll listen." I say. "Here." He says offering me the left earphone. "Alright what do you want to listen to? Something soft, fast, pop, rock?" He asks. "Um...Something soft. I'm in the mood for soft music." I answer. After a few seconds a soft sweet voice of a fairly young boy played out of the earphone. As I listened to the song I didnt make a sound until it was over and I said, "Oh my gosh that was beautiful who sings that song." I turned and looked at him and he had a huge smile on his face, and then he showed me the screen and it said, 'A bird without wings.' by celtic thunder. "His name is Celtic Thunder?" I ask sacrcastically. "No his name is Damian Mc ginty." He replied. "Th...that was you?" I asked in wonder. "Yup." He answered. "Wow your really good but your singing voice doesnt really match your regular voice it sounds much younger." I say. "Well that was three years ago.Here listen to this one." He says changing the song to Michael Bubles Home. I couldnt believe it he was really good. I started to sing along. At the end of the song he stared at me in amazement. "What." I said. "Wow that was awesome." He said. "What was." I asked. "Your voice. Sing that again." He said, so I did. "I'll be right back." He said jumping up from his. When he came back he had a lady with him who was about 45. "Charlotte this is Sharon Browne mine and Pauls producer. Sharon this is Charlotte Hennessey." He said "Charlotte, Sharon would like to talk with you." "but wh.." I start to ask confused. "Alone Damian." She says. "Oh." And he walks back to where she was sitting and sat down next to Paul. " Well now, Damian told me you could sing. Can you sing a little piece for me?" She asked. "Um...Sure.'' I said reluctantly. "What do you want me to sing?" I asked. "What ever you want to sing is fine with me." She said. As I started to sing Home she started to smile. When I was done she said. "You have a beautiful voice, and I have been looking for a new girl to sing with Celtic Thunder, would you like to have that job?" She asked me. "Um..I dont know, but I'll think about it and call you when I decide. If thats alright with you." I said. "Of course here's my card call me whenever you decide." She said as she got up and walked away. Well that was totally unexpected I have never even heard of Celtic Thunder and here I am being asked to join the band or group or whatever they are.
Oh and by the way I have no clue what to call the seats ( seating ) in airplanes due to never being on a plane (everyone in my family except fo rme have been on a plane in fact my two brothers one who is a year younger than me and one who is two years older have both flown a small cesna or whatever you call those small planes.) So forgive me if the words I used for them which was seat C-2. and also for the intercom thingy I had no clue what to cal it and that was the only word that came to mind and still is. Smile
Otaay! this one is kinda long but I think I have longer ones Smile
Chapter 2
Charlotte's P.O.V.
When she left I started to cry, Damian came back, I was still crying. "Well how did it...are you crying?" He asked looking into my eyes. I turned and hid my face in the pillow resting on the window and started crying harder. I couldnt tell him why I was crying, He wouldnt understand, after all we had just met. He kept talking to me but I just blocked it all out and before I knew it I was asleep. After I guess about four hours I woke up. As I yawned and stretched my arms and legs Damian said. "Good morning sleepy head." Right away I looked him in the eyes and started to cry again. He said. "Oh now dont start that again." I sniffled and wiped my eyes and said. "I'm sorry, It's just that earlier when Mrs. Browne asked me to join your group it just brought back good and bad memories. And thats why I started crying." "What kind of good and bad memories?" He asked.
"Well you see ... my father was a singer he was'nt famous or anything like that he just sang at church and around the house and made a couple of cds for people who wanted them. He was pretty good, and sometimes I would sing with him and we made a few albums but they didnt sell well accept for at church of course 'cause everyone there were the only people that had ever heard him sing." I said. "And what were the bad?" He asked. I took a deep breath and said, "One night, About two years ago, my brother, my mom and myself were in the studio with my dad An...and... oh Damian..." I looked into his eyes and he pulled me closer to himself and put his arm around my shoulder and I leaned my head onto his. I continued, "...All of a sudden there came a gunshot out of nowhere and the bullet of that gun sh..shot my dad in the back and by the time we got to the hospital he was dead. When he first got shot I ran to him screaming." "I'm sorry I should never have told Sharon without asking you first. I really am sorry." He said. "It's alright, It's not your fault you didnt know." I said. As I wiped my eyes he kissed me gently on the top of the head, But I didnt mind at all.
After about one hour the pilot was announcng that we were about to land. Once we had landed Damian asked me, "Do you have someone to pick you up?" "Yeah my aunt and my cousins Jennifer, Becky, and Clay should be here waiting for me." I answered. He sighed and said, "You know even though we just met I feel like we've known eachother for years." He smiled at me making me blush again. He laughed and said, "You sure do blush alot. Why is it that you do it every time I smile at you?" "I dont know. I guess because Im really shy." I lied. As we got off the plane he said, "Listen...I really hope you choose to join us with Celtic Thunder, if you dont I'm gonna miss you alot." "Aww...I'll miss you too Damo."At that he looked at me funny and embraced me in a tight hug and again kissed me on the top af the head. "Hey you two love birds." Paul said. "It's time to go Damo. It's been nice meeting you Miss Hennessey." And he winked at me as he walked away. "Are you sure youll be okay here by your self?" Damian asked me. "Yeah I'll be fine. Bye Damian, Maybe I'll see you soon." I said. He gave me another hug and ran off to join the other guys he was with (I guess the rest of Celtic Thunder). Man there is something about his hugs that gives me a warm feeling. I thought watching him walk away.
As I watched him leave I started to cry. A few minutes later I heard someone call my name so I turned around. It was Jennifer. She was standing all by herself waving at me. "Oh Jenny." I said as I ran to where she was just a few feet away and gave her a big hug. "Where is everybody else?" I ask her. "Oh they couldnt make it they wanted to but, Becky is sick, Clay is over at a friends house, Mom had to stay home with Becky, and Dad is at work. And Mom said we should go to lunch if thats alright with you I'm sure your probably dieing to get settled and get some sleep." she said. "Yeah thats fine with me, I'm starved." I say grabbing my bag that I had put on the gound and left to get the rest of my bags from the baggage carousel. We got my bags loaded, them into Jenny's car, and left to find somewhere to eat.
Once we had gotten into town Jennifer asked me. " Where do you want to go? Theres Mc Donalds, Kaylees pub, and a subway." "Um,,, Subway I guess." I answered. "Alrighty, Subway it is then. We might as well eat inside just to waist time." She said as we pulled into the Subway parking lot. When I got out I noticed a boy in the car parked next to us."Oh my gosh." I said under my breath. I told Jenny. "You go on ahead I have to find something in my bag." I lied Man I really need to stop with the lieing . "Alright I'll wait for you we're in no hurry." She said. "No you go on inside and find us a table it won't take me long." I said. "Okay." she said and turned around and walked inside. I looked in the window of the car next to us and it was him, Right there was Damian with his arms crossed over his chest, and his eyes closed. Right then I decided to knock on the window. When I did he jumped out of his seat. When he saw it was me he stared at me with his mouth wide open and then jumped right out of the car, and gave me a great big hug.
"Damo, let...go." "Oh I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?"He asked."No I'm fine." I say. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "well I'm eating what do you think?" I teased and then laughed when he said. "Haha so funny. I know your eating here why else would you be standing here in the parking lot all alone, But why are you eating here?" "Well my cousin came to pick me up because my aunt had to stay home with my other cousin who is sick, and my other cousin is at a friends house, So I'm having lunch with my cousin Jennifer who came to pick me up." I explained to him in a rush . " What are you doing here all alone?" I asked. "Well every body else was hungry, and I am the only one going straight home except for Keith who is always hungry, just like me but I decided not to be a fatty today," He said laughing." "and he'll probably eat again when he gets home, So anyway they decided to stop and eat real quick and I didnt want to go in, so I stayed in the car and am now waiting for them to get finished and they have been in there for about twenty-five minutes already so yeh." He said. " Oh, ok well I have to go now Jenny is probably waiting for me to hurry up and get in there so we can eat. but it was good seeing you, and maybe I'll see you again soon." I said. "yeah maybe well, bye." He said giving me a hug. "Bye." I said walking to the door of Subway.
"Hey what took you so long?" "Oh I couldn't find what I was looking for and then I ran into someone I met on the plane." I told Jenny lieing again! " Well lets go get our food." She said getting up from the table she was sitting at. "Hello welcome to Subway, my name is Hannah what may I get you today." The cashier asked us. "Hi um, I'd like the six inch italian sub with, Turkey,.... Provalone,.... lettuce,.... pickles,.... and the Chipoltle sauce please." I said slowly going through the line . "And what may I get you?" She asked Jenny. " I would like the same please." She said. " Alright your total comes to, 8pounds." the cashier said when we got to the end of the line and the cashier rang us up. Jenny gets her money out and hands it to the cashier. "Here you are have a nice day." She said as she handed us our food. "Thank you, you too." I said as I took it from her.
While we were eating Jenny asked me. "Who was that guy that I saw you hugging at the airport?Was he cute? how old was he? Did you get his number?" "Woah, what's with all the questions? He was just some guy I shared my seat with, Yes he was kinda cute, and I didnt even think about asking him how old he was, and no I did not get his phone number I'm not a stalker like you." I say jokingly. "Oh poo." She said. Ring..ring..ring.. " Oh excuse me its mum." She said as she answered her phone. " Hello mum...Hows Becky?... Oh no... Alright mum... I will tell her I hope she feels better... Alright... Alright... Love you to mum, bye. Well I have to call my neighbor and ask her if we can spend the night at her house for a few days, It seems Beckys cold turned out to be really bad so mum want's us to stay out of the house for a few days so we dont catch it she doesnt have time what with work and all to take any more time off." She said after she had hung up with her mom and started to dial her neighbors number.
I really didnt know how to make her dad die so I just made him die this way I couldnt think of anything better. And this part was kinda hard for me to write so I hope yuo like it Smile
Chapter 3
Charlotte's P.O.V.
After she had called her neighbor and asked her if we could stay at her house for a few days we left Subway. " What did she say?" I asked her when we had gotten into the car.
" She said we could. Her daughter is my best friend and I am like her second daughter so it wasn't hard for her to say yes because she always likes it when I come over and I think use will really like their family." She says. Once we got to their house and were at the fron door Jenny said. " I'll introduce use and then I have to go and get me clothes." she knocks on the door and then opens it and lets me in first. " Hi Jenny her friend said as she walked into the front hall after hearing the knock on the front door knowing who it was. " This must be use cousin Charlotte." " Yes it is, Han this is Gemma my best friend." She said introducing me to her friend. " Hi, it's nice to meet you Gemma." I say. " It's nice to meet use too." " Oh Gem I need to go and get some of my things from my house I'll be right back."
" Alright I'll take her upstairs and help her get settled." Gemma said.
Once we got upstairs her mom called her. " Gemma I need your help for a second." " Alright I'm coming. Heres your room I'll be right back kay?" she says putting the bag she was carrying on the purple, white, and yellow bed. I nodded and walked to the bed to start unpacking. I opened my biggest suitcase and started to take the things out, I looked over my shoulder to see where the dresser was, ' ah there it is.' I thought when I saw it against the wall next to what appeared to be a bathroom door. So I walked over to it and started to put the clothes I had in my hands in it, As I was doing this someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned around kinda hesatantly but there he was " Damian." I said under my breath. " Well I guess you were right.,! About seeing eachother again that is. What are you doing here?" He asked me. " Well my cousin the one who was sick it turns out that what she had became worse so my aunt doesnt want Jenny and I to be around her for a few days. And so she told Jenny to call over here and see if we could stay here for a fewdays." I said.
" Well it looks like we're neihgbors for awhile then." He said. " For awhile what do you mean you dont live here." I ask. " No, I do live here, but were both going to college this year and I'm going to be gone for awhile with the Boys." He says. " Your going to college this year also! What college are you going to?" I ask him. " The same one you are Lumen Christi axcept for I have already been going there for a year and a half." He says. " Really.." I was interrupted by Jennifer and Gemma coming into the room.
" Oh hey little bro this is Charlotte Hennessey, Charlotte this is Damian my little brother." Gemma says. " How do you do Mr. Mc ginty." I said in a quite funny voice. " very well thank you Mrs. Hennessey and yourself?" He says in the same voice as I. We both started to laugh. "Guys whats going on?" Gemma asked us sternly. " Well, you see we already know eachother." I said. " How do you already know eachother?" Jennifer asks. " Hey Damo, I've been thinking, and I think I will join yall." I say not answering Jenny and hoping he would know what I was talking about. As I said this Gemma and Jenny started to look at me really weird. Damian looked at me like join yall where? And then it turned into oh I know what your saying. As he said. " Really?..thats awesome...SWEET! Oh happy days!. He then picked me up and started to spin around. Man is he strong. I thought.
" What in the world is going on here Damian Joseph Mc Ginty." Gemma asked her brother in a stern voice. " I'll tell ya later." He said as he put me down on the floor. Ah tera firma. "Come on Jenny, let's leave these two weirdo's to be weird alone." Once they left I decided to call Sharon and tell her my decision. "Hello Sharon.. This is Charlotte Hennessey from the plane." I said. " Oh hello Charlotte how are you." She asked. " I'm fine... Um Sharon I've decided I'd like to join Celtic Thunder." I said. " Oh lass thats just wonderful, Hey Boys I have the newest member of Celtic Thunder on the phone with me now." She said to the rest of the boy's who were in the car with her. " Who is it?" Someone who sounded like Paul said. "Charlotte Hennessey from the plane." She told them, and there was shouting in the background it was so loud that I had to pull the phone away from my ear. " Well thats great Charlotte I'm glad that you decided to join us." She told me. " Listen I'd like to talk more about it right now but I have to go. ?" She says. " Alright!" I say. "Oh wait Charlotte Where are you staying so that I can come pick you up for lunch sometime this week ?" She asks. I answer, " Well actually I am staying at Damians house, Because I originally I was going to stay at my Aunts and Uncles house which is coincidently across the street from his house and since my cousin has a really bad cold my Aunt doesnt want my other cousin who is like Gemmas best friend and I to be in the house for a few days and she told Jenny my cousin to call over here to see if we could stay for a few days and Mrs. McGinty said yes so..." I explained to her. " I see well then I'll come and get you and Damian and we will have lunch sometime this week with the rest of the guys except for George, Paul, and Ryan Is that alright with you and Damian?" She asked " Yes ma'am thats just fine We'll see you then." "Alright Bye Charlotte." She says. " Bye Sharon and thank you." " No thank you." We hung up. " well I guess I am the newest member of Celtic Thunder ." I said as I pressed the end call button. We stared at each other for a few seconds and then Damian grabbed me and gave me the biggest bear hug I had ever had since my dad had died. Damian hugged me just how he had always hugged me. As he was releasing me from his tight embrace he kissed me on the top of my head, it was the third time he had done that. After a few seconds of silence I also gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, we both started to laugh. " Damian, Gemma,.. Conor is here come on downstairs." We heard Mrs. Mc Ginty call.
" Hey Con." Damian said when we got downstairs and he saw his cousin. " ay Damo," He says giving him on eof those manly hugs where they start off with a handshake and pull into a hug an dthen slap eachother on the back. "and who is this pretty young lady you've got 'ere?" He asked when he saw me coming down the stairs. " Oh thats Charlotte, Gemma's friend Jenny from across the street is her cousin, I met her on the plane today my seat was next to her's." Damian replied with a grin on his face as I came to stand in between him and Gemma. Conor walks up to Damian and attempts to whisper in his ear, I heard him though. " Is she single?" I suddenly felt myself blush beet red and was about to answer when I heard Damian say, " No she isnt single, I think." He said the last part lower than he had said the rest so that no one could hear. No one else heard them disscussing all of this because everyone else was leaving the room and going their own ways. " Damian what did you mean by No she isnt single? I dont have a boyfriend." I said walking up behind them. " Oh so you are single? Then would you maybe like to hangout or something like that sometime maybe?" Conor asks me. " Well... I... " My reply was interuppted by Damian saying, " Hey Conor lets go get you settled in. We'll be back in a few minutes Charlotte." Damian says grabbing one of Conors bags that he had brought with him. 'Oh great he must be staying here for a while too, just what I need some boy I dont even know hitting on me!!!'* " Um, alright."
* I dont know if thats what its called the word that I want to use isnt coming to my mind and It didnt when I was writing this soo That is just the word I will use for now Smile
Here is the next part. Its kinda short, and I have no clue what Damians moms name is I have heard Nikki and Joanna So I just chose Joanna and who knows neither of them could be right. anyway here it is.
Chapter 4
Damian's P.O.V
" Hey Damo, Whats the big idea Boyo? I was tryin' to ask her out." Conor says when they got upstairs. " Yeah I know, Look Con she just moved here from the States dont make her think you like her and then go and break her heart, And dont ask her out just to show off and make people think you can get any girl you want just by asking them out, Because I know you dont really like I mean you just met her Con It just doesnt happen like that O.K?" He says. " Well.....Ay Damo you like her dont ya?" He asked questioningly, Damian answered, " Wh... where'd you get that idea from?" " Oh I can see it in your eyes. Ya like 'er,ya do, ya like 'er, Ah Damo's got a crush on Charlotte." " Conor you better shut up unless you want a black eye!" Damian said to Conor who was teaasing him. " I'll only get one if you can catch me." Conor says running out of the room towards the stairs. " Conor get back in here."
" Damo's got a crush." He kept chanting as he ran into the kitchen where Mrs Mcginty, Gemma, Jenny and I were now talking together. " Damo's got a, OW!" He said because Damian who had run down the stairs behind Conor, and was now beside him, had just elbowed him in the ribs, He put his hands behind his back and put the biggest smile on his face which made me start to giggle. " Aunt Jo' Damian just elbowed me in the ribs, and it really hurt!" He says in a really whiney voice which made Gemma, Jenny, and I giggle harder than we already were. " Damian was that really necessary?" Mrs Mc Ginty asks him. " No Mammie but he..." " Damian no buts. Apologize now." She says. " But Ma..." He begins. " Damian!" This whole time Conor was standing there with a smirk on his face. " Sorry Conor." He says then, " Tattle-tail." " Conor your turn." Mrs. Mc Ginty said turning her attention to Conor.
" What did I do?!" He asks in asonishment. " Really Conor how old do you think you are Five." Mrs. Mc Ginty asks him. " I'm Sixteen and I still dont know what I did." " Conor you Tattled on Damian and you know it, now apologize Conor." " Fine." He says. " Sorry Damo, I wont say you have a cru..." He was inturrupted by Damian putting his hand over his mouth and pulling him out of the room into the hallway.
Damians P.O.V.
" Your asking for it!" I say. " Hey c'mon cuz I was only slaggin ya, Gosh lighten Boy'o." He says and then walks back into the kitchen and I follow him.
Charlottes P.O.V.
When Damian took Conor out into the hallway I took it as an opprotunity to call my mom. " Hey Momma, it's Charlotte I just wanted to let you know that I got here safe and sound. Oh and mom thee was this guy on the plane that I was sittng next to, and guess what! He lives right across the street from Uncle Mark and Aunt Tracy. Well I think I should go now, Oh yeah I almost forgot to tell you Becky has the measles so Aunt Tracy wants us to stay out of the house for a few days so we have to stay across the street at Jenny's freinds house which just so happens to be the guy from the planes sister, so yeah anyway, I'll call you later mom I love and miss you so much tell everyone I said hi. Bye."
Chapter 5
Charlotte's P.O.V.
A few hours later at around Five o'clock.... " Guy's, It's time for dinner." Mrs. Mc Ginty said. We had all gathered in the family room and were now playing some kind of National Soccer game on the PS2 and lets just say that Damian and I were not losing. " Alright Mammie." Gemma says getting up from the couch and walking into the Kitchen with Jenny following her. The game had Seven seconds left Conor was the Goalie on his team right now, and Damian was playing as Rio Ferdinand ( We were Man-U and Conor was Chealsea) Ferdinand was midfield,
he passed it to John O'Shea, 7-6-5
Who then kicked the ball towards the goal, 4-3-2-1
GOAL!!!!! It made it.
" Yeah." Damian cheered as we both stood up to do a victory dance. " Hey Conor I thought you said you could beat us 6-nil,hmmm? I guess you were wrong." I said. " We... well I could have but I didn't feel like it this time." " Suuure." Damian and I said at the same time as we started towards the kitchen. Sniff, sniff. "MMM, it smells so good Aunt Jo'." Conor says. " thank you Conor, Charlotte dear you can sit right there between Damian and Conor." he says as she sits down at one end of the table and Damian sits at the other end with Gemma on his right and Jenny on hers and Conor and I sitting on the otherside opposite them. " Damian would you please bless the food for us." She asks him.
" Yes 'um." He says as he takes my hand and Gemmas, I take Conors and so on around the table we all close our eyes and he begins to pray. " Dear Heavenly Father we thank ye for all your bessings you have given us and we also thank ye for this food which we are aboot ta eat and we ask that ye bless it in your holy name. Amen." A round of Amens were said around the table. I started to pull my hand out of Damians and Conors but they both had a good grip on them. I neede to eat so I yanked my hand out of Conors, but I realize that it is my left hand and since I am right handed I also have to let go of Damians as much as I hated it I pulled my hand out gently and started to eat. When I did this he quickly lifted his head and looked at me I just continued eating and said, " Mmm, this is the best stew I have ever tasted." I looked up at Mrs. Mc Ginty and Smiled. " Well T'ank you Charlotte." She said in her thick Irish accent. About twenty minutes later we finished Dinner. " Mrs. Mc Ginty would you like me to help you with the dishes or anything?" I ask her. " Oh Charlotte you are our guest you dont have to help." " Oh but I insist let me help you it is the least I can do for you letting me stay here." I say. " Well alright thats very kind of you thank ye." She says as she carrys the stack of dishes on the table to the sink. " Mammie, Jenny and I have dates may we go?" Gemma asks. " Of course love, be careful out there and dont do anything stupid remember you only just got use licsense." " Yes Mum Thanks." She says giving her mum a kiss on the cheek. " Charlotte will you be alright here with these crazy people?" Gemma asks me. " Of course if they drive me too insane then I'll just go lock myself in my bedroom." I say chuckling.
" Have a good time you guys." " Alright see you all later." She says shaking her head and laughing to herself. "Bye." We all said. " Well then lets get those dishes started." Mrs. Mc Ginty says walking back over to the sink. " Oh Mammie I'll help Charlotte do them you go and finish that quilt that you were making." Damian says. " Alrighty if ye really want to I'm not gonna complain, T'anks you two." She said.She walks out of the kitchen to the family room. " I'll wash you dry." I say walking over to the sinl to start washing the dishes.
We had been wasshing and drying for about fifteen minutes when Damian said. " When I didnt let go of your hand why did you make that face at me?" I was silent for a minute, 'What face?' I thought trying to remember, 'Oh that face!' my brain clicked with recognition. " Oh this face." I said making the face again. Kind of a scowly, death stare thing. " Yeah that one." He said. " Oh well that wasnt for you, it was for Conor." I tell him. " Conor, but why?" He asks. " He wouldnt let go of my hand either so I yanked my hand out of his, and since it was my left hand and you had my right I had to let go of yours too so I could eat but I decided not to yank it like I did his."
I explained. " Oh." He says. " So why didn't you yank your hand out of mine?" Stopping his drying motion to look at me his head turned sideways.
I just started blushing and went back to washing the dishes not saying anything. " Aah, you like me don't ya, huh, don't ya?" He asks doing this weird eyebrow wiggly thing. " 'Course ya do why wouldnt ya, I mean my bright blue eyes dashing smile..." I then splashed him with water. " Hey what did you do that for." He asks trying to dry his shirt off with the drying towel but it wasnt worth it because it wasnt doing anything. "Because." " Because why?" He asks. " Because, Because your, your vain." I stutter. 'Gosh is he anything but vain.' "Hmmm." He says then splashes me with water. " I am not vain." When the water hit me it surprised me and I gasped. " Hey, what was that for." I said trying to grab the towel from him, but hence the word 'trying' not 'succeeding'. " Damian give me that towel I've got soapy water in my eyes." I screech trying to run after him without running into anything. " Fine, here." He says throwing the towel at me. " Thank you. Finally." I say wiping the water off of my face and hands, and out of my eyes. We finished up the dishes and I ask him. " So why did you splash me?" " Because." He says. " Because is not a reason." " It was for you!" He says. True but I want to know. I think. " So, I did tell you though." I say. " So." He says. " So." " So." " So.... It wont be any more if you tell me." I say quickly. " Fine, I'll tell you but not now." He says. " Uh why not?" I ask.
" Because." He says quickly walking into the family room where Mrs. Mc Ginty was working on her quilt. " Hey, guys ya done with the dishes already?" She asks us looking up from the quilt she was working on. " Yes 'Um." Damian says. going to sit on the arm of the couch. " Wow Mrs. Mc Ginty, what a beautiful quilt." I say walking over to it to examine it more closely. It was Blue, Green, White, and Yellow, with a pinwheel design in six large square's. It was very beautiful. " T'ank you very much I have been sewing things like this since I was about Thirteen or so." She says. " Really. I also started to sew when I was thirteen." I say. " Ye sew do ya now. What kinds o' things?" She asks. " Well I havent sewn anything in quite a long time really. But I have made a few baby quilts and one child sized, I also made an easter dress for myself one year that I wore to church on easter sunday, I brought most of the stuff that I have made with me along with my sewing machine. Maybe sometime I could show them to you." I say. " Oh I'd love to see your work. But right now why dont use go and get Conor and go out and have some fun." " Alright Mammie thanks. C'mon Charlotte lets go and get Conor." Damian said grabbing my hand and and dragging me up the stairs.
" Ow,Damian stop your hurting me." I say trying to pull my hand out of his. " Hey Con you wanna go out with us?" He asks him when we got upstairs and were standing in the door of his bedroom. " What go out with use are you sure I wouldn't be a bother." He says in a surprised voice looking down at our hands which are still clasped together. Damian and I also look down following his gaze at the same time. Both of us blushing deeply we let go of eachothers hands. " Con, I didnt mean, You dont think, just because we..." Yeah, yeah, well are we going or not?" He says looking at us then walking out of the room after grabbing his wallet off of the dresser. " Yeah." I said and followed Conor out.
" Hey guys I'll meet you outside I need to grab my shoes real quick." I said. " Alright, C'mon Damo." Conor said grabbing the sleeve of Damian's shirt and dragged him downstairs. I got to my room slipped on a pair of jeans instead of my sweatpants, put on a plaid, purple and red button-up shirt over the tank top I was wairing, put on my red converse, and headed downstairs.
" Bye Mrs. Mc Ginty." I said walking past her on my way outside. " Good-bye Charlotte you three have a good time out tonight and dont get into to much trouble." She says. "Alright we will, and we wont." I said walking out the door closing it behind me. " Well that was quick, I've never seen a girl change her whole outfit so quickly." Conor said. Damian gave him a glare that made him do that what shrug thing. " Nice shoes." Damian says opening the door for me. " Thanks you to." I say looking down at his red converse. " Thanks." He said. Conor just rolls his eyes and says. " Alright guys enough with the compliments. Damo get in the car and drive." " Conor I cant." He says. " Why not?" He asks. " Well for one I dont have a licsense and two I dont know how, and neither do you." He says. " Well than, what are we gonna do?" Conor asks. " As they were talking I unbuckled, got out of the car, went around to the otherside,got inthe drivers seat and buckled back-up. " What are you doing?" Damian asked me. "Well I can drive and you cant so either I drive or we are going to have to walk to wherever we are going and I really dont want to do that so what is your choice?" I ask. After I said that he jumped in the car and handed me the keys I put them in the ignition started the car and started to drive. " Boy's." I said under my breath. " What about boy's?" Damian says stressing boys greatly.
" Yes what about boy's." Conor says also stressing boy's. " Oh... um nothing." I say. " Girl's." Damian and Conor say at the same time I roll my eye's. After about five minutes I ask. " Guy's where are we going? I just moved here today you know." "Oi, sorry Charlotte, Uh take a left turn here and then a right, and then when you see a sign that says Earth go there and park." He said. " Earth what is that?" I ask. "It's a club." Conor says. " A what?! I screech. " A club." He says again. " I'm not allowed to drink I'm only seventeen!" i say astonished at even the idea of going to club. 'Oh moms gonna kill me when she hears about this. If she was here right now I'd be grounded for life.!' I say to myself. " Well I'm sixteen, but it's not that kind of club yes they do serve alchohol but all we do there is hang out with friends and dance all night, and if your worried about us getting drunk we wont because I am not old enough and Damo doesn't drink anything but the occasional Daquiri and such, he doesnt really like anything else anyway." " True." Damian says. " But your only eighteen how can you drink?" I ask him. " Well here you only have to be eighteen, and I'm eighteen so I can drink if I want ta."
He says. " Guys I dont know about this, I mean if my mom knew what I was doing I would be grounded for months, maybe even years!" " Hey dont worry I wont let anything happen to you." Conor say's putting his hand on my shoulder as we are getting out of the car thank's Conor." I say standing in between them. " Ah hello Damian how was your trip to America." The guy at the little booth, desk thingy in the front room asked Damian. " Just great,met lots of new fan's, and friend's." He says turning to look at meand give me a wink which makes me blush. " You three have a good time and ejoy yourself's." The guy says. " Alright, thank's Tom." Damian say's to him. We walk into the next room wchich was pretty big, It had chairs lined up along the back wall and a bar on the side with a door next to that which I am guessing led to outside, on the oposite side of the room there were five small tables scattered around with chairs around them, on the wall on the side of the room which we were standing on there was a D.J. table, and in the middle was the dance floor, where people were already standing
around dancing and talking. When we entered the room a group of guy's at the table closest to the door started to whistle and chatter amongst themselve's.
'Well that's one group I will try to steer clear of tonight.' I thought to myself. Unluckly that is where Damian and Conor were headed.
"'Ey Damo whos the chick." One of the guys at the table asked as w approached the table. " Hey Keiren, Boys this is Charlotte shes from the U.S., Charlotte these are some of me best mates. Thats Keiren who is also my cousin," " It is a pleasure to meet you Charlotte." He says getting up and shaking my hand gently. " And this is Rory Collins." He said pointing to guy who looked 17 or 18 with Light brown hair and merald green eyes. " It's nice to meet you Charlotte." " Its nice to meet you also Rory." I say shaking his hand. " This is Michael Mc calyn and his brother Sean." Both stricking in resemblance to eachother with dark drown hair about the color of Damians maybe a little darker and green/blue eyes. " Helloo" "Hi " They say also standing to shake my hand. " This is Jared Callahan." He says pointing to a guy with Blonde hair and brown Eyes. " Hi Charlotte It is nice to meet you." " It's nice to meet you to Jared." I say shaking the shy fellows hand. " And this is Callie Brown, Michaels girlfriend, I think you two should get along nicely." He said introducing me to all of his friends. " Hello Callie It's nice to meet you." "It's great to meet you also Charlotte. And a Damo here said I am sure we will get along just fine. Why dont you come sit down and tell us a little about yourself, Hmm?" She says taking my hand and pulling me over to a seat next to her. " Alright, well what do you want to know." I ask as I sit in the seat she pulled me over to. " Well what is your full name, age, where you lived in america what it was like, what your family is like etc. " She says with a smile on her face. " Oh Um well lets see, My name is Charlotte Caitlynn Abigail Hennessey, I know long right?" I say as some of their mouths drop in astonishment.
'Well it is quite a name I mean its not everyday that you meet someone with for names.' " Well anyway, I am seventeen..." " When is your Birthday?" Asked Callie. " April 1st... I lived in Jacksonville Florida, most definitely the sunshine state Its hot all the time even during the winter it usually doesnt go below 40, and in the summer usually between the 80's and 100's it gets to hot there aspecially if you have to go a whole summer without an air conditioner. I have one brother and my mom, my dad passed away about two years ago, since then it has just been my older brother, my mom, and myself. And gosh how I miss them right now." I said my eyes starting to tear-up, A tear slides down my face and I quickly wipe it away with the back of my hand. " Hey now dont cry, your not alone here you know you've got all of us." Callie says putting her arm around my shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze. " Thanks Callie, that means alot to me." I say giving her a smile.
" No problem Charlotte. Right guys?" She asks everyone and a round of " Yeses" " Yeps" " ayes" and " Youve got that rights" go around the table. " You know Charlotte now that your in our group you're gonna need a nick name you know to shorten your name a bit almost everyone has one here, Michael is micky, Keiren is keir, Damian is damo, and my name is really Caroline but I didnt want to be called carrie so the guys figured they would just call me Callie.So do you have a nickname or do we need to find you one?" she asks me. " Well all of my friends always just call me Lottie, But if you want to you can make up another one." I say. " No Lottie is just fine, It is very Irish sounding." She says. " Well my dad and mom are actually from Ireland they were born here but they met in Florida, My dad is the one who made up my nickname." I tell them. " Alright everybody lets get some slow dancing going on in here, Here is a song called crazy love sung by Mr Michael Buble." " I canhear her heart beat for," The song began. " Charlotte would you like to dance." Damian asks me. " Yes I'd love to." I answer. We start to dance very slowly at first I am about half a foot away from him and then by the end of the song I am about 1 inch away, the song ends. " Would you like somrthing to drink?" he asks me. " Oh yes please." " What would you like water, soda..." " Water please, And thank you." I say as I go and sit back down at our table with th erest of the guy's and Callie. " Hey guys." I say as I sit cown next to Callie. " Hey Lottie, your a really good dancer did you know that?" Jared asked me. " Aww thanks Jared your so sweet, But yes I did know that. I took dance for 6 years from the time I was 6 till I was 12." I say to him. " Oh really? What kind of dance?" Callie asks me. " Well I took ballet for 5 years and jazz for 1." I answer.
" Hey Lottie where did Damo go?" Keiren asks me. 'Gosh the Mcginty family sure has a lot of HOT guys in it' I think to myself. " Oh he went to go and get us somehing to drink." I say to Keiren just then Damian comes back with the drinks in his hand. " Here ya are an Ice cold water." " Thank you Damian " I say as I take the water out of his hand and take a long sip of it. " No problem Charlotte." He says. After about half an hour of dancing, talking and just sitting Conor comes up to me and aks if I would like to dance with him 'say no, say no, say no!' '"Sure I'd love to." Darnit! So we get out on the dance floor and a song called, well I dont know what it was called but It was really slow and so we started to dance at first we were about a foot apart then I felt myself being pulled in closer, and by the middle of the song I was about half an inch away from him, I tried to move away once or twice but it didnt work because he would just pull me back in. Damian tried to cut in but Conor just kept right on dancing. On my third attempt he pulled me in even harder and then...He kissed me.
Right when he did that I instantly reacted with a slap right across the face , Of course everbody saw the whole incident, I then looked at him with tears in my eyes and turned around and ran out of the room, to where I do not know or did I really care just as long as I was away from Conor. When I ran out of the room I just kept on running, blind of what was in front of me I ran out the front door and right into someone. " Excuse me I'm sorry I didnt see you standing there." I said as I wiped the tears off of my face. " Charlotte whats wrong?" Asks the person I ran into, It was Damian. He must have come outside after Conor had not let him cut in. I just start crying louder, I see a bench through my tears and I walk over to it and sit down. " Charlotte whats wrong?" He asks again coming over to me. " is it something Conor did, Cause if it is I can go kill him now if you want me too." He says. " Y,,y,,yes." I say between sobs.
" Wait it was something he did, or you want me too kill him now?" He asks. " It..wa.was..something he did." I stutter. " What did he do to you? He didnt hurt you did he?" He starts to ask frantically. " I thought he said he wasn't going to let anything happen to me, and yet he has to go and kiss me right infront of everybody in the room, I was so Embaressed I didn't know what to do so I just slapped him and ran out. And whoever told him that he could kiss any girl he decideds that he likes anyway, Well dont just stand there, say something, anything.!" I say in a rush of anger. 'Well that helped a little'. "He kissed you!?" He finally says in astonishment. " Yes." I said. " But why did you let him?" He asks. " Well It's kind of hard to stop him when he does it out of absolutely nowhere!" I exclaim. Silence. " So do ye like him?" He asks." What! No. Why would you think that?" I ask. " I.. I dont know honestly I just dont know." He says. After a few seconds he says under his breath " Oh I'm gonna get him for this." just low enough for me not to be able to hear anything but the S at the end. " Hmm?" I ask. " Oh nothing." He says. We both just sat there on the bench for a few seconds in silence until Conor comes running out of the club. " Charlotte.." BAMM! Damian punched him in the face I watched in horror as he took a swing at Conors face.
Chapter 6
Charlotte's P.O.V.
Conor stands back up, holding his hand to his lip where Damian had hit him, after the initial shock wore off he tried to hit him back but Damian was to quick and dodged just in time. " Damian STOP!!" I screech running to stand in between Damian and Conor. " Damian stop it." I say as Damian try's to hit him again and lightly punches him in the stomach. " Why you." Conor says as he try's again to hit Damian. " Conor I said stop it! My Gosh! Damian your mom was right when she said Conor acts like he is only 5," I say. " Hah." Damian laughs. " But, I also think that she should have included you in that sentance as well." " Hah." Conor laughs. " Now if you are quite through with your little fight I am going home, And since I am the only one with the drivers licsense then you will either have to come with me or walk home by yourselves, And it really doesnt matter which you do, But I am leaving right now." I say walking over to where we had parked earlier this evening. " Well are you coming or not." I say as I look back at the two boys just standing there with their hands in their pockets.
" Yeah." Conor says but Damian says, " No you two go ahead, Tell Mammie I'll be home later." He says and he turns and goes around the corner of the Earth. "Where is he going?" I ask Conor as we get into the car. " Who knows." "Listen I'm sorry about what happened, I know I shouldtnt have just kissed you like that, I really dont know what came over me, And if you cant find it in your heart to ever forgive me I understand." He says when we are stopped at a red light. " Its cool Conor." 'What am I saying it's not cool It totally was not cool!' After about five minutes of a silent car ride we arrived at the house. " Conor you better go right upstairs and I wouldnt let Mrs Mcginty see the left side of your face unless you want to explain what happened, Which I doubt you do, but it's totally up to you." I say as I get out of the car. We go inside and Conor walks in on my right side so as to block the cut and bruise on his lip. " Oh are ye back already I thought ya would stay out later It's only 9:00. Wheres Damian?" She says as we walk into the main Hallway leading up to the stairs. " Oh, ummm, I think he went to take a walk, or something." I say. " Oh alright." Mrs Mcginty says " Uh yeah we're going to go up stairs and get ready for bed, cause I am really tired after that long plane ride over here and all."
" Alright, Good night Shannon have a good nights rest dear, you too Conor." " Good night Mrs Mcginty and thank you for alowing us to stay here while Becky is sick it really means alot to me." I say. " Your very welcome dear." " G'night Auntie." Conor says as we walk up the stairs. " G'night Charlotte." " Night Conor." - " Hey I really am sorry about what happened, I dont know what came over me." He says. " It's fine Conor really, Good night." I say as I walk into my room. " Night." " hhhaahhh." I sigh as I Iie down on my bed. I lie there for a few minutes resting and then I decide to get a shower and then go to bed. So I get up, get my Pajamas out of the top drawer of the dresser, went into the bathroom, closed the door, turned on the water, stripped, and got in. 'ahhh this feels sooo good'. I think to myself as I let the hot water run all over my body. I stayed in the shower for about fifteen minutes and then got out, got dressed and brushed my teeth and hair put it up and walked back into my room. I had been out of the shower for about ten minutes and I was sitting on my bed when there was a knock on my door. " Yes." I say. Damian then sticks his head in the door. " Hey Charlotte, could we talk for a minute?" He asks. " About what." I ask crossing my arms over my chest knowing full well what he wanted to talk about. " I think you know what." He says. " Can I come in." He asks opening the door a little more. " I guess." I say. " May I sit down or do I have to stand." " You may sit." I say with an annoyed look on my face. Why? You may ask do I have an annoyed look on my face, well there are several reasons, Well maybe there arent several, but a girl doesnt have to have a reason to be annoyed with a boy, does she? Anyway. " Listen Charlotte," I turn my head away from him. "I'm sorry that I hit him, and that you had to see it all. But I had my reasons..." " Oh yeah you had your reasons, Damian there was and is no reason why you had to hit him." " Yes there was and is." He says. 'Oh great just what I need a fight with a boy I just met today.' " Listen Damian, I am really tired, and I have never had jet lag before so I really need to get to sleep. Could we please just talk about this in the morning?" I ask. Yaaaaawnn ahh. " Charlotte please just hear me out." He says. Yaaaaawnn. I shook my head no, pulled the blankets down, crawled under them, and put my head down on the pillow closing my eyes. " Charlotte ple.." I shook my head no again my eyes still closed. Please just go away. He then gets up from the bed and walks to the door. " Good night Charlotte." He says as he opens the door and walks out toward his room. Why, oh why did this have to happen? I think as a tear trickles down my face. I' just got here today and already two boys are fighting over me. I thought I left all of that behind when I left Florida, First it was Carson and Justin, and now its Damian and Conor. Why is it that everywhere I go boys are fighting over me. I just hope this one doesnt end like the last. haaaahh.' I sigh then fall asleep.
This Chapter I think is one of my favorites. I hope you like it. Oh and by the way I welcome all types of coments good and bad Smile
Chapter 7
Charlotte's P.O.V.
YAAAWWNN. I yawn as I wake up. after a few minutes of just lieing there I looked at the clock that was sitting on the bed side table. 'Good grief 12:00 I have never ever slept this late in my entire life.!' I thought as I quickly got out of bed and got dressed, I put on a yellow T-shirt and pair of Green Bermuda shorts, pulled my hair back after brushing it and went downstairs. " Well good-morning Charlotte, I trust you had a good sleep." Mrs. Mcginty asks me, as I walk into the Kitchen I smelled freshly baked bread which I saw sitting on the counter along with some sandwiches and a bag of chips already open. " Good-morning or afternoon rather, I had a marvelous sleep but I am so sorry that I slept so late you must think me awfully rude I don't usually sleep this late, in fact I don't think I have ever slept this late in my life." I say sitting on one of the stools at the island. " Oh no dear not at all, It's quite all right. Damian himself didnt get up till just a few minutes ago. Besides it's perfectly normal to wake up so late what with jet lag and all." She says getting a knife out of a drawer and feeling the still warm bread deciding that it was still too warm she puts the knife down on the counter.
" If you're hungry dear I made some sandwiches. Just help yourself whenever ya be wantin' one ." She says pointing to the plate of sandwhiches in the center of the Island. " Oh yes ma'am thank you." I say grabbing one of the sandwhiches and starting to eat it. " Everybody else is in the game room if ya'd like to join them." " Alright. Really good sandwhiches by the way." I say taking another half of a sandwhich as I walk out of the room. " Thank ya darlin'."
" Hey guy's." I say as I walk into th game room " Hey Charlotte." Gemma and Jenny say at the same time and then they start to giggle. " 'ay Charlotte." Conor says. " Finally decide to get up did ya now." Damian say's with a joking look on his face. " Oh shut-up! you yourself didn't get up until just a few minutes ago." I say jabbing him in the ribs as I sat, in the only empty spot left in the room, next to him. " What 'cha guy's watchin?" I ask. "Glee." They all said at the same time. " Hmm I should have known that I have seen like all of them, But I guess I havent seen this one yet." I say staring at the T.V. Screen.
As I am whatching the show I was holding the rest of my sandwhich in the air, and all of a sudden I feel my hand gently move. " Hey whats the big idea that was my sandwhich you just took a huge bite out of mister." I said when I looked over and saw Damian chewing mysteriously. " Sorry but I'm hungry and when a fellas hungry...well..." He says swallowing the bite of my sandwhich that he had taken. " Yeah well get your own next time." I say. " Fine if you feel that way about it then I will get my own." He says getting up off of the couch. " So what are we going to do today?" I ask them. 'Buzz..buzz.' " oops squze me." I say as I look at my new text message on my phone.
Damian's and
Chrlotte's P.O.V.
I got up from the couch and walked to the front door through the kitchen. " Hey Damo what are you up t..." " Sorry ma I cant talk right now." I said as I kept walking. Once I got out side I texted Charlotte....
"Charlotte its Damian could you please come out to the front porch I need to talk to you ." It read. " Excuse me guys I need to call my mom." I said lieing as I got up from the couch where I was sitting to walk to the front door. Once I got outside Damian was sitting on the porch swing his back towards me. He didnt hear me come out so I walked up behind him and said, " So what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked. Oh not that line again that's what she said last night. " Listen Charlotte please don't interupt me this time..." "Damian I know what you want to talk to me about..." I said inturupting him even though he told me not to. " Do ya now? Then what is it that I want to talk to you about if you are so smart?" " You want to tell me your reasons you had to hit Conor last night, but the fact is Mr Mcginty there is no reason I really ." I yelled storming into the house. " Charlotte come back there is a reason Charlotte please!!!"
Charlotte's P.O.V.
I ran up stairs to my room near tears not wanting to talk to anybody on my way up I ran into Mrs Mcginty. " I'm sorry Mrs. Mcginty excuse me." " Charlotte whats wro..." She started to ask me as I run into my room and slam the door, well maybe I didnt slam it but I didnt close it quietly thats for sure.
Back outside with Damian ..
" God what is wrong with that girl every time I try to talk to her she runs away."
Back in my room..
Knock, knock. Someone knocked on my door. " Please just go away I dont want to talk to anyone right now." I say lifting my head up to speak to whoever was at the door. " Charlotte its Mrs Mcginty Please let me in....Charlotte plea...." " Please just go away." I say trying not to burst into tears. " Charlotte I am not going away until you let me in! So either you let me in now or I will be standing rigth here outside your door until you come out. So which will it be?" She asks me. I finally decide to open the door so I get off of the bed and open the door to let Mrs. Mc ginty in. " Thank you." She says as I close the door behind her and she goes to sit on the bed, I sit opposite her. " Now, dear, What is wrong, why are you crying?" " Oh Mrs. Mcginty I just dont know what to do." " You dont know what to do about what dear?" She asks. " Last night, I was Dancing with Conor, an, and He, he kissed me." " heh, so what are you crying about?" " Before I was trying to pull away from him and then he just did it, and after... I slapped him and then ran out, and for some reason Damian was out there, I guess he went when he tryed to cut in on us and Conor didnt let him, he just ignored him and kept on dancing. Anyway, I ran into him blind from tears, I didnt see who it was...

Chapter 1
Charlotte's P.O.V.
One day as I was riding in the car with my mom Cathrine and my brother Sean we passed the university of north Florida or UNF "Charlotte when are you going to decide where you are going to college next year? You dont have much longer to decide you know. " "I know mom and I've been thinking... I'd like to try and get accepted somewhere else. " I replied. " Like somewhere in D.C.or California? " She asked. " No somewhere like Europe or the U.K or something like that. " I replied. "' Well what about...OH I know where you could go," "where?" I asked in anticipation. "Ireland." " Ireland, oh mom really? " I asked. " well dont you want to go there. " She asked in dissapointment. " oh mom no thats not how I ment it,
I mean I've always wanted to go there ever since...you know since dad died. " " oh honey I forgot all about that , I mean not your dad dying, but us going to Ireland. That summer we were supposed to go and stay with my brother and sister-n-law, but we didnt did we?"
She said, I shook my head no." Mom could you call aunt Tracy tomorrow and ask them if I can come stay with them next year? "I asked.

1 year later
Well here I am, Jacksonville international airport with my family and friends all around me. "Bye Maddie Im gonna miss you!" I told my best friend. "Bye Charlotte I'll miss you too , Have a good trip." She said with tears in her Eyes which just made me cry even harder than I already was. " I will " I say wiping the tears off my cheeks. "Goodbye Mrs. O'Donahugh." "Goodbye Charlotte you be good over there." She said. "I will. Bye Gracie, Bye Sydney I'll miss yall ." I say to Maddie's sisters giving each of them a hug. "Bye Charlotte we'll miss you too, have a great trip." Syd said. "Bye mom, Bye Sean I'll miss yall sooo much I told my mom and older brother. Just then we heard my flight being called over the intercom. "Bye guys see yall soon."I told them for the last time. Once I was on the Plane I found my seat, sat down and put my bag under my feet. I only had one bag because I got the others checked in to be put under the plane. After a few minutes of sitting there in silence thinking, my thoughts we're interrupted by a man laughing very loudly. from what I heard his name was Paul because another man said "Paul dont laugh so loudly people are starting to stare." I turned around and saw four men, one looked very young maybe 25 or so, two others who looked to be around 30 one which was the laughing guy, and the last man was bald and very tall and much older he looked about 40. After watching them for a minute I turned back around and there right next to me stood a boy that looked to be about my age with crystal blue eyes, brown slightly curly hair, and skin about my color (which is very pale). He scared me to death when I saw him standing there smiling. I felt my face turn bright red and I turned my head. "Excuse me but is this seat C-2." He asked in the most sweet angelic voice. "Um..Yes." I stuttered staring at him. "well I guess this is my seat then. And I sure am glad to be sharing it with such a pretty face." He said as he sat down next to me. "Thanks." I said blushing even more. "No need to be shy I promise I wont hurt you or anything like that.The names Damian, Damian Mc ginty." He said. "Whats yours?" I replied, "Charlotte Hennessey." "Aah...Your from Florida I asume." He said. "yes." I replied loostening up a bit. Where are you from you have a strange accent you cant be from the United States!" "Oh no, I am from Derry in Ireland." "Oh really I am going up there to live with my Aunt and Uncle while I am in College, But I decided to go see Lumen Christi and look around to see if I like it.." Before I could finish my sentence our conversation was interrupted by a man with light brown hair. "Well..well..well..what do we have here? Damo how did you manage to sit next to this pretty young lady, Hmm." He asked. "My name is Paul Byrom and who do I have the pleasure of meeting today." He asked me. "Charlotte Hennessey." I replied. "Its nice to meet you." He said with a big smiley grin on his face. "Paul go sit down." Damian Said. "Why?" Paul asked. Damian replied. "Because they said to see for your self." And he pointed to the sign that said, 'Buckle up' "Well I'll see yous later." He said walking back to his seat. "Well I guess I'll listen to my I-pod." Damian said. "Oh darnit." I said. "whats wrong? He asked. I replied. " I think I left my I-pod in my luggage bag." "Oh..well..would you like to listen to mine with me?" He asked. "Oh no I wouldnt want to be a bother." "you wouldnt be a bother come on listen, Please." He said giving me the cutest puppydog face ever. "Alright I'll listen." I say. "Here." He says offering me the left earphone. "Alright what do you want to listen to? Something soft, fast, pop, rock?" He asks. "Um...Something soft. I'm in the mood for soft music." I answer. After a few seconds a soft sweet voice of a fairly young boy played out of the earphone. As I listened to the song I didnt make a sound until it was over and I said, "Oh my gosh that was beautiful who sings that song." I turned and looked at him and he had a huge smile on his face, and then he showed me the screen and it said, 'A bird without wings.' by celtic thunder. "His name is Celtic Thunder?" I ask sacrcastically. "No his name is Damian Mc ginty." He replied. "Th...that was you?" I asked in wonder. "Yup." He answered. "Wow your really good but your singing voice doesnt really match your regular voice it sounds much younger." I say. "Well that was three years ago.Here listen to this one." He says changing the song to Michael Bubles Home. I couldnt believe it he was really good. I started to sing along. At the end of the song he stared at me in amazement. "What." I said. "Wow that was awesome." He said. "What was." I asked. "Your voice. Sing that again." He said, so I did. "I'll be right back." He said jumping up from his. When he came back he had a lady with him who was about 45. "Charlotte this is Sharon Browne mine and Pauls producer. Sharon this is Charlotte Hennessey." He said "Charlotte, Sharon would like to talk with you." "but wh.." I start to ask confused. "Alone Damian." She says. "Oh." And he walks back to where she was sitting and sat down next to Paul. " Well now, Damian told me you could sing. Can you sing a little piece for me?" She asked. "Um...Sure.'' I said reluctantly. "What do you want me to sing?" I asked. "What ever you want to sing is fine with me." She said. As I started to sing Home she started to smile. When I was done she said. "You have a beautiful voice, and I have been looking for a new girl to sing with Celtic Thunder, would you like to have that job?" She asked me. "Um..I dont know, but I'll think about it and call you when I decide. If thats alright with you." I said. "Of course here's my card call me whenever you decide." She said as she got up and walked away. Well that was totally unexpected I have never even heard of Celtic Thunder and here I am being asked to join the band or group or whatever they are.
Oh and by the way I have no clue what to call the seats ( seating ) in airplanes due to never being on a plane (everyone in my family except fo rme have been on a plane in fact my two brothers one who is a year younger than me and one who is two years older have both flown a small cesna or whatever you call those small planes.) So forgive me if the words I used for them which was seat C-2. and also for the intercom thingy I had no clue what to cal it and that was the only word that came to mind and still is. Smile
Otaay! this one is kinda long but I think I have longer ones Smile
Chapter 2
Charlotte's P.O.V.
When she left I started to cry, Damian came back, I was still crying. "Well how did it...are you crying?" He asked looking into my eyes. I turned and hid my face in the pillow resting on the window and started crying harder. I couldnt tell him why I was crying, He wouldnt understand, after all we had just met. He kept talking to me but I just blocked it all out and before I knew it I was asleep. After I guess about four hours I woke up. As I yawned and stretched my arms and legs Damian said. "Good morning sleepy head." Right away I looked him in the eyes and started to cry again. He said. "Oh now dont start that again." I sniffled and wiped my eyes and said. "I'm sorry, It's just that earlier when Mrs. Browne asked me to join your group it just brought back good and bad memories. And thats why I started crying." "What kind of good and bad memories?" He asked.
"Well you see ... my father was a singer he was'nt famous or anything like that he just sang at church and around the house and made a couple of cds for people who wanted them. He was pretty good, and sometimes I would sing with him and we made a few albums but they didnt sell well accept for at church of course 'cause everyone there were the only people that had ever heard him sing." I said. "And what were the bad?" He asked. I took a deep breath and said, "One night, About two years ago, my brother, my mom and myself were in the studio with my dad An...and... oh Damian..." I looked into his eyes and he pulled me closer to himself and put his arm around my shoulder and I leaned my head onto his. I continued, "...All of a sudden there came a gunshot out of nowhere and the bullet of that gun sh..shot my dad in the back and by the time we got to the hospital he was dead. When he first got shot I ran to him screaming." "I'm sorry I should never have told Sharon without asking you first. I really am sorry." He said. "It's alright, It's not your fault you didnt know." I said. As I wiped my eyes he kissed me gently on the top of the head, But I didnt mind at all.
After about one hour the pilot was announcng that we were about to land. Once we had landed Damian asked me, "Do you have someone to pick you up?" "Yeah my aunt and my cousins Jennifer, Becky, and Clay should be here waiting for me." I answered. He sighed and said, "You know even though we just met I feel like we've known eachother for years." He smiled at me making me blush again. He laughed and said, "You sure do blush alot. Why is it that you do it every time I smile at you?" "I dont know. I guess because Im really shy." I lied. As we got off the plane he said, "Listen...I really hope you choose to join us with Celtic Thunder, if you dont I'm gonna miss you alot." "Aww...I'll miss you too Damo."At that he looked at me funny and embraced me in a tight hug and again kissed me on the top af the head. "Hey you two love birds." Paul said. "It's time to go Damo. It's been nice meeting you Miss Hennessey." And he winked at me as he walked away. "Are you sure youll be okay here by your self?" Damian asked me. "Yeah I'll be fine. Bye Damian, Maybe I'll see you soon." I said. He gave me another hug and ran off to join the other guys he was with (I guess the rest of Celtic Thunder). Man there is something about his hugs that gives me a warm feeling. I thought watching him walk away.
As I watched him leave I started to cry. A few minutes later I heard someone call my name so I turned around. It was Jennifer. She was standing all by herself waving at me. "Oh Jenny." I said as I ran to where she was just a few feet away and gave her a big hug. "Where is everybody else?" I ask her. "Oh they couldnt make it they wanted to but, Becky is sick, Clay is over at a friends house, Mom had to stay home with Becky, and Dad is at work. And Mom said we should go to lunch if thats alright with you I'm sure your probably dieing to get settled and get some sleep." she said. "Yeah thats fine with me, I'm starved." I say grabbing my bag that I had put on the gound and left to get the rest of my bags from the baggage carousel. We got my bags loaded, them into Jenny's car, and left to find somewhere to eat.
Once we had gotten into town Jennifer asked me. " Where do you want to go? Theres Mc Donalds, Kaylees pub, and a subway." "Um,,, Subway I guess." I answered. "Alrighty, Subway it is then. We might as well eat inside just to waist time." She said as we pulled into the Subway parking lot. When I got out I noticed a boy in the car parked next to us."Oh my gosh." I said under my breath. I told Jenny. "You go on ahead I have to find something in my bag." I lied Man I really need to stop with the lieing . "Alright I'll wait for you we're in no hurry." She said. "No you go on inside and find us a table it won't take me long." I said. "Okay." she said and turned around and walked inside. I looked in the window of the car next to us and it was him, Right there was Damian with his arms crossed over his chest, and his eyes closed. Right then I decided to knock on the window. When I did he jumped out of his seat. When he saw it was me he stared at me with his mouth wide open and then jumped right out of the car, and gave me a great big hug.
"Damo, let...go." "Oh I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?"He asked."No I'm fine." I say. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "well I'm eating what do you think?" I teased and then laughed when he said. "Haha so funny. I know your eating here why else would you be standing here in the parking lot all alone, But why are you eating here?" "Well my cousin came to pick me up because my aunt had to stay home with my other cousin who is sick, and my other cousin is at a friends house, So I'm having lunch with my cousin Jennifer who came to pick me up." I explained to him in a rush . " What are you doing here all alone?" I asked. "Well every body else was hungry, and I am the only one going straight home except for Keith who is always hungry, just like me but I decided not to be a fatty today," He said laughing." "and he'll probably eat again when he gets home, So anyway they decided to stop and eat real quick and I didnt want to go in, so I stayed in the car and am now waiting for them to get finished and they have been in there for about twenty-five minutes already so yeh." He said. " Oh, ok well I have to go now Jenny is probably waiting for me to hurry up and get in there so we can eat. but it was good seeing you, and maybe I'll see you again soon." I said. "yeah maybe well, bye." He said giving me a hug. "Bye." I said walking to the door of Subway.
"Hey what took you so long?" "Oh I couldn't find what I was looking for and then I ran into someone I met on the plane." I told Jenny lieing again! " Well lets go get our food." She said getting up from the table she was sitting at. "Hello welcome to Subway, my name is Hannah what may I get you today." The cashier asked us. "Hi um, I'd like the six inch italian sub with, Turkey,.... Provalone,.... lettuce,.... pickles,.... and the Chipoltle sauce please." I said slowly going through the line . "And what may I get you?" She asked Jenny. " I would like the same please." She said. " Alright your total comes to, 8pounds." the cashier said when we got to the end of the line and the cashier rang us up. Jenny gets her money out and hands it to the cashier. "Here you are have a nice day." She said as she handed us our food. "Thank you, you too." I said as I took it from her.
While we were eating Jenny asked me. "Who was that guy that I saw you hugging at the airport?Was he cute? how old was he? Did you get his number?" "Woah, what's with all the questions? He was just some guy I shared my seat with, Yes he was kinda cute, and I didnt even think about asking him how old he was, and no I did not get his phone number I'm not a stalker like you." I say jokingly. "Oh poo." She said. Ring..ring..ring.. " Oh excuse me its mum." She said as she answered her phone. " Hello mum...Hows Becky?... Oh no... Alright mum... I will tell her I hope she feels better... Alright... Alright... Love you to mum, bye. Well I have to call my neighbor and ask her if we can spend the night at her house for a few days, It seems Beckys cold turned out to be really bad so mum want's us to stay out of the house for a few days so we dont catch it she doesnt have time what with work and all to take any more time off." She said after she had hung up with her mom and started to dial her neighbors number.
I really didnt know how to make her dad die so I just made him die this way I couldnt think of anything better. And this part was kinda hard for me to write so I hope yuo like it Smile
Chapter 3
Charlotte's P.O.V.
After she had called her neighbor and asked her if we could stay at her house for a few days we left Subway. " What did she say?" I asked her when we had gotten into the car.
" She said we could. Her daughter is my best friend and I am like her second daughter so it wasn't hard for her to say yes because she always likes it when I come over and I think use will really like their family." She says. Once we got to their house and were at the fron door Jenny said. " I'll introduce use and then I have to go and get me clothes." she knocks on the door and then opens it and lets me in first. " Hi Jenny her friend said as she walked into the front hall after hearing the knock on the front door knowing who it was. " This must be use cousin Charlotte." " Yes it is, Han this is Gemma my best friend." She said introducing me to her friend. " Hi, it's nice to meet you Gemma." I say. " It's nice to meet use too." " Oh Gem I need to go and get some of my things from my house I'll be right back."
" Alright I'll take her upstairs and help her get settled." Gemma said.
Once we got upstairs her mom called her. " Gemma I need your help for a second." " Alright I'm coming. Heres your room I'll be right back kay?" she says putting the bag she was carrying on the purple, white, and yellow bed. I nodded and walked to the bed to start unpacking. I opened my biggest suitcase and started to take the things out, I looked over my shoulder to see where the dresser was, ' ah there it is.' I thought when I saw it against the wall next to what appeared to be a bathroom door. So I walked over to it and started to put the clothes I had in my hands in it, As I was doing this someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned around kinda hesatantly but there he was " Damian." I said under my breath. " Well I guess you were right.,! About seeing eachother again that is. What are you doing here?" He asked me. " Well my cousin the one who was sick it turns out that what she had became worse so my aunt doesnt want Jenny and I to be around her for a few days. And so she told Jenny to call over here and see if we could stay here for a fewdays." I said.
" Well it looks like we're neihgbors for awhile then." He said. " For awhile what do you mean you dont live here." I ask. " No, I do live here, but were both going to college this year and I'm going to be gone for awhile with the Boys." He says. " Your going to college this year also! What college are you going to?" I ask him. " The same one you are Lumen Christi axcept for I have already been going there for a year and a half." He says. " Really.." I was interrupted by Jennifer and Gemma coming into the room.
" Oh hey little bro this is Charlotte Hennessey, Charlotte this is Damian my little brother." Gemma says. " How do you do Mr. Mc ginty." I said in a quite funny voice. " very well thank you Mrs. Hennessey and yourself?" He says in the same voice as I. We both started to laugh. "Guys whats going on?" Gemma asked us sternly. " Well, you see we already know eachother." I said. " How do you already know eachother?" Jennifer asks. " Hey Damo, I've been thinking, and I think I will join yall." I say not answering Jenny and hoping he would know what I was talking about. As I said this Gemma and Jenny started to look at me really weird. Damian looked at me like join yall where? And then it turned into oh I know what your saying. As he said. " Really?..thats awesome...SWEET! Oh happy days!. He then picked me up and started to spin around. Man is he strong. I thought.
" What in the world is going on here Damian Joseph Mc Ginty." Gemma asked her brother in a stern voice. " I'll tell ya later." He said as he put me down on the floor. Ah tera firma. "Come on Jenny, let's leave these two weirdo's to be weird alone." Once they left I decided to call Sharon and tell her my decision. "Hello Sharon.. This is Charlotte Hennessey from the plane." I said. " Oh hello Charlotte how are you." She asked. " I'm fine... Um Sharon I've decided I'd like to join Celtic Thunder." I said. " Oh lass thats just wonderful, Hey Boys I have the newest member of Celtic Thunder on the phone with me now." She said to the rest of the boy's who were in the car with her. " Who is it?" Someone who sounded like Paul said. "Charlotte Hennessey from the plane." She told them, and there was shouting in the background it was so loud that I had to pull the phone away from my ear. " Well thats great Charlotte I'm glad that you decided to join us." She told me. " Listen I'd like to talk more about it right now but I have to go. ?" She says. " Alright!" I say. "Oh wait Charlotte Where are you staying so that I can come pick you up for lunch sometime this week ?" She asks. I answer, " Well actually I am staying at Damians house, Because I originally I was going to stay at my Aunts and Uncles house which is coincidently across the street from his house and since my cousin has a really bad cold my Aunt doesnt want my other cousin who is like Gemmas best friend and I to be in the house for a few days and she told Jenny my cousin to call over here to see if we could stay for a few days and Mrs. McGinty said yes so..." I explained to her. " I see well then I'll come and get you and Damian and we will have lunch sometime this week with the rest of the guys except for George, Paul, and Ryan Is that alright with you and Damian?" She asked " Yes ma'am thats just fine We'll see you then." "Alright Bye Charlotte." She says. " Bye Sharon and thank you." " No thank you." We hung up. " well I guess I am the newest member of Celtic Thunder ." I said as I pressed the end call button. We stared at each other for a few seconds and then Damian grabbed me and gave me the biggest bear hug I had ever had since my dad had died. Damian hugged me just how he had always hugged me. As he was releasing me from his tight embrace he kissed me on the top of my head, it was the third time he had done that. After a few seconds of silence I also gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, we both started to laugh. " Damian, Gemma,.. Conor is here come on downstairs." We heard Mrs. Mc Ginty call.
" Hey Con." Damian said when we got downstairs and he saw his cousin. " ay Damo," He says giving him on eof those manly hugs where they start off with a handshake and pull into a hug an dthen slap eachother on the back. "and who is this pretty young lady you've got 'ere?" He asked when he saw me coming down the stairs. " Oh thats Charlotte, Gemma's friend Jenny from across the street is her cousin, I met her on the plane today my seat was next to her's." Damian replied with a grin on his face as I came to stand in between him and Gemma. Conor walks up to Damian and attempts to whisper in his ear, I heard him though. " Is she single?" I suddenly felt myself blush beet red and was about to answer when I heard Damian say, " No she isnt single, I think." He said the last part lower than he had said the rest so that no one could hear. No one else heard them disscussing all of this because everyone else was leaving the room and going their own ways. " Damian what did you mean by No she isnt single? I dont have a boyfriend." I said walking up behind them. " Oh so you are single? Then would you maybe like to hangout or something like that sometime maybe?" Conor asks me. " Well... I... " My reply was interuppted by Damian saying, " Hey Conor lets go get you settled in. We'll be back in a few minutes Charlotte." Damian says grabbing one of Conors bags that he had brought with him. 'Oh great he must be staying here for a while too, just what I need some boy I dont even know hitting on me!!!'* " Um, alright."
* I dont know if thats what its called the word that I want to use isnt coming to my mind and It didnt when I was writing this soo That is just the word I will use for now Smile
Here is the next part. Its kinda short, and I have no clue what Damians moms name is I have heard Nikki and Joanna So I just chose Joanna and who knows neither of them could be right. anyway here it is.
Chapter 4
Damian's P.O.V
" Hey Damo, Whats the big idea Boyo? I was tryin' to ask her out." Conor says when they got upstairs. " Yeah I know, Look Con she just moved here from the States dont make her think you like her and then go and break her heart, And dont ask her out just to show off and make people think you can get any girl you want just by asking them out, Because I know you dont really like I mean you just met her Con It just doesnt happen like that O.K?" He says. " Well.....Ay Damo you like her dont ya?" He asked questioningly, Damian answered, " Wh... where'd you get that idea from?" " Oh I can see it in your eyes. Ya like 'er,ya do, ya like 'er, Ah Damo's got a crush on Charlotte." " Conor you better shut up unless you want a black eye!" Damian said to Conor who was teaasing him. " I'll only get one if you can catch me." Conor says running out of the room towards the stairs. " Conor get back in here."
" Damo's got a crush." He kept chanting as he ran into the kitchen where Mrs Mcginty, Gemma, Jenny and I were now talking together. " Damo's got a, OW!" He said because Damian who had run down the stairs behind Conor, and was now beside him, had just elbowed him in the ribs, He put his hands behind his back and put the biggest smile on his face which made me start to giggle. " Aunt Jo' Damian just elbowed me in the ribs, and it really hurt!" He says in a really whiney voice which made Gemma, Jenny, and I giggle harder than we already were. " Damian was that really necessary?" Mrs Mc Ginty asks him. " No Mammie but he..." " Damian no buts. Apologize now." She says. " But Ma..." He begins. " Damian!" This whole time Conor was standing there with a smirk on his face. " Sorry Conor." He says then, " Tattle-tail." " Conor your turn." Mrs. Mc Ginty said turning her attention to Conor.
" What did I do?!" He asks in asonishment. " Really Conor how old do you think you are Five." Mrs. Mc Ginty asks him. " I'm Sixteen and I still dont know what I did." " Conor you Tattled on Damian and you know it, now apologize Conor." " Fine." He says. " Sorry Damo, I wont say you have a cru..." He was inturrupted by Damian putting his hand over his mouth and pulling him out of the room into the hallway.
Damians P.O.V.
" Your asking for it!" I say. " Hey c'mon cuz I was only slaggin ya, Gosh lighten Boy'o." He says and then walks back into the kitchen and I follow him.
Charlottes P.O.V.
When Damian took Conor out into the hallway I took it as an opprotunity to call my mom. " Hey Momma, it's Charlotte I just wanted to let you know that I got here safe and sound. Oh and mom thee was this guy on the plane that I was sittng next to, and guess what! He lives right across the street from Uncle Mark and Aunt Tracy. Well I think I should go now, Oh yeah I almost forgot to tell you Becky has the measles so Aunt Tracy wants us to stay out of the house for a few days so we have to stay across the street at Jenny's freinds house which just so happens to be the guy from the planes sister, so yeah anyway, I'll call you later mom I love and miss you so much tell everyone I said hi. Bye."
Chapter 5
Charlotte's P.O.V.
A few hours later at around Five o'clock.... " Guy's, It's time for dinner." Mrs. Mc Ginty said. We had all gathered in the family room and were now playing some kind of National Soccer game on the PS2 and lets just say that Damian and I were not losing. " Alright Mammie." Gemma says getting up from the couch and walking into the Kitchen with Jenny following her. The game had Seven seconds left Conor was the Goalie on his team right now, and Damian was playing as Rio Ferdinand ( We were Man-U and Conor was Chealsea) Ferdinand was midfield,
he passed it to John O'Shea, 7-6-5
Who then kicked the ball towards the goal, 4-3-2-1
GOAL!!!!! It made it.
" Yeah." Damian cheered as we both stood up to do a victory dance. " Hey Conor I thought you said you could beat us 6-nil,hmmm? I guess you were wrong." I said. " We... well I could have but I didn't feel like it this time." " Suuure." Damian and I said at the same time as we started towards the kitchen. Sniff, sniff. "MMM, it smells so good Aunt Jo'." Conor says. " thank you Conor, Charlotte dear you can sit right there between Damian and Conor." he says as she sits down at one end of the table and Damian sits at the other end with Gemma on his right and Jenny on hers and Conor and I sitting on the otherside opposite them. " Damian would you please bless the food for us." She asks him.
" Yes 'um." He says as he takes my hand and Gemmas, I take Conors and so on around the table we all close our eyes and he begins to pray. " Dear Heavenly Father we thank ye for all your bessings you have given us and we also thank ye for this food which we are aboot ta eat and we ask that ye bless it in your holy name. Amen." A round of Amens were said around the table. I started to pull my hand out of Damians and Conors but they both had a good grip on them. I neede to eat so I yanked my hand out of Conors, but I realize that it is my left hand and since I am right handed I also have to let go of Damians as much as I hated it I pulled my hand out gently and started to eat. When I did this he quickly lifted his head and looked at me I just continued eating and said, " Mmm, this is the best stew I have ever tasted." I looked up at Mrs. Mc Ginty and Smiled. " Well T'ank you Charlotte." She said in her thick Irish accent. About twenty minutes later we finished Dinner. " Mrs. Mc Ginty would you like me to help you with the dishes or anything?" I ask her. " Oh Charlotte you are our guest you dont have to help." " Oh but I insist let me help you it is the least I can do for you letting me stay here." I say. " Well alright thats very kind of you thank ye." She says as she carrys the stack of dishes on the table to the sink. " Mammie, Jenny and I have dates may we go?" Gemma asks. " Of course love, be careful out there and dont do anything stupid remember you only just got use licsense." " Yes Mum Thanks." She says giving her mum a kiss on the cheek. " Charlotte will you be alright here with these crazy people?" Gemma asks me. " Of course if they drive me too insane then I'll just go lock myself in my bedroom." I say chuckling.
" Have a good time you guys." " Alright see you all later." She says shaking her head and laughing to herself. "Bye." We all said. " Well then lets get those dishes started." Mrs. Mc Ginty says walking back over to the sink. " Oh Mammie I'll help Charlotte do them you go and finish that quilt that you were making." Damian says. " Alrighty if ye really want to I'm not gonna complain, T'anks you two." She said.She walks out of the kitchen to the family room. " I'll wash you dry." I say walking over to the sinl to start washing the dishes.
We had been wasshing and drying for about fifteen minutes when Damian said. " When I didnt let go of your hand why did you make that face at me?" I was silent for a minute, 'What face?' I thought trying to remember, 'Oh that face!' my brain clicked with recognition. " Oh this face." I said making the face again. Kind of a scowly, death stare thing. " Yeah that one." He said. " Oh well that wasnt for you, it was for Conor." I tell him. " Conor, but why?" He asks. " He wouldnt let go of my hand either so I yanked my hand out of his, and since it was my left hand and you had my right I had to let go of yours too so I could eat but I decided not to yank it like I did his."
I explained. " Oh." He says. " So why didn't you yank your hand out of mine?" Stopping his drying motion to look at me his head turned sideways.
I just started blushing and went back to washing the dishes not saying anything. " Aah, you like me don't ya, huh, don't ya?" He asks doing this weird eyebrow wiggly thing. " 'Course ya do why wouldnt ya, I mean my bright blue eyes dashing smile..." I then splashed him with water. " Hey what did you do that for." He asks trying to dry his shirt off with the drying towel but it wasnt worth it because it wasnt doing anything. "Because." " Because why?" He asks. " Because, Because your, your vain." I stutter. 'Gosh is he anything but vain.' "Hmmm." He says then splashes me with water. " I am not vain." When the water hit me it surprised me and I gasped. " Hey, what was that for." I said trying to grab the towel from him, but hence the word 'trying' not 'succeeding'. " Damian give me that towel I've got soapy water in my eyes." I screech trying to run after him without running into anything. " Fine, here." He says throwing the towel at me. " Thank you. Finally." I say wiping the water off of my face and hands, and out of my eyes. We finished up the dishes and I ask him. " So why did you splash me?" " Because." He says. " Because is not a reason." " It was for you!" He says. True but I want to know. I think. " So, I did tell you though." I say. " So." He says. " So." " So." " So.... It wont be any more if you tell me." I say quickly. " Fine, I'll tell you but not now." He says. " Uh why not?" I ask.
" Because." He says quickly walking into the family room where Mrs. Mc Ginty was working on her quilt. " Hey, guys ya done with the dishes already?" She asks us looking up from the quilt she was working on. " Yes 'Um." Damian says. going to sit on the arm of the couch. " Wow Mrs. Mc Ginty, what a beautiful quilt." I say walking over to it to examine it more closely. It was Blue, Green, White, and Yellow, with a pinwheel design in six large square's. It was very beautiful. " T'ank you very much I have been sewing things like this since I was about Thirteen or so." She says. " Really. I also started to sew when I was thirteen." I say. " Ye sew do ya now. What kinds o' things?" She asks. " Well I havent sewn anything in quite a long time really. But I have made a few baby quilts and one child sized, I also made an easter dress for myself one year that I wore to church on easter sunday, I brought most of the stuff that I have made with me along with my sewing machine. Maybe sometime I could show them to you." I say. " Oh I'd love to see your work. But right now why dont use go and get Conor and go out and have some fun." " Alright Mammie thanks. C'mon Charlotte lets go and get Conor." Damian said grabbing my hand and and dragging me up the stairs.
" Ow,Damian stop your hurting me." I say trying to pull my hand out of his. " Hey Con you wanna go out with us?" He asks him when we got upstairs and were standing in the door of his bedroom. " What go out with use are you sure I wouldn't be a bother." He says in a surprised voice looking down at our hands which are still clasped together. Damian and I also look down following his gaze at the same time. Both of us blushing deeply we let go of eachothers hands. " Con, I didnt mean, You dont think, just because we..." Yeah, yeah, well are we going or not?" He says looking at us then walking out of the room after grabbing his wallet off of the dresser. " Yeah." I said and followed Conor out.
" Hey guys I'll meet you outside I need to grab my shoes real quick." I said. " Alright, C'mon Damo." Conor said grabbing the sleeve of Damian's shirt and dragged him downstairs. I got to my room slipped on a pair of jeans instead of my sweatpants, put on a plaid, purple and red button-up shirt over the tank top I was wairing, put on my red converse, and headed downstairs.
" Bye Mrs. Mc Ginty." I said walking past her on my way outside. " Good-bye Charlotte you three have a good time out tonight and dont get into to much trouble." She says. "Alright we will, and we wont." I said walking out the door closing it behind me. " Well that was quick, I've never seen a girl change her whole outfit so quickly." Conor said. Damian gave him a glare that made him do that what shrug thing. " Nice shoes." Damian says opening the door for me. " Thanks you to." I say looking down at his red converse. " Thanks." He said. Conor just rolls his eyes and says. " Alright guys enough with the compliments. Damo get in the car and drive." " Conor I cant." He says. " Why not?" He asks. " Well for one I dont have a licsense and two I dont know how, and neither do you." He says. " Well than, what are we gonna do?" Conor asks. " As they were talking I unbuckled, got out of the car, went around to the otherside,got inthe drivers seat and buckled back-up. " What are you doing?" Damian asked me. "Well I can drive and you cant so either I drive or we are going to have to walk to wherever we are going and I really dont want to do that so what is your choice?" I ask. After I said that he jumped in the car and handed me the keys I put them in the ignition started the car and started to drive. " Boy's." I said under my breath. " What about boy's?" Damian says stressing boys greatly.
" Yes what about boy's." Conor says also stressing boy's. " Oh... um nothing." I say. " Girl's." Damian and Conor say at the same time I roll my eye's. After about five minutes I ask. " Guy's where are we going? I just moved here today you know." "Oi, sorry Charlotte, Uh take a left turn here and then a right, and then when you see a sign that says Earth go there and park." He said. " Earth what is that?" I ask. "It's a club." Conor says. " A what?! I screech. " A club." He says again. " I'm not allowed to drink I'm only seventeen!" i say astonished at even the idea of going to club. 'Oh moms gonna kill me when she hears about this. If she was here right now I'd be grounded for life.!' I say to myself. " Well I'm sixteen, but it's not that kind of club yes they do serve alchohol but all we do there is hang out with friends and dance all night, and if your worried about us getting drunk we wont because I am not old enough and Damo doesn't drink anything but the occasional Daquiri and such, he doesnt really like anything else anyway." " True." Damian says. " But your only eighteen how can you drink?" I ask him. " Well here you only have to be eighteen, and I'm eighteen so I can drink if I want ta."
He says. " Guys I dont know about this, I mean if my mom knew what I was doing I would be grounded for months, maybe even years!" " Hey dont worry I wont let anything happen to you." Conor say's putting his hand on my shoulder as we are getting out of the car thank's Conor." I say standing in between them. " Ah hello Damian how was your trip to America." The guy at the little booth, desk thingy in the front room asked Damian. " Just great,met lots of new fan's, and friend's." He says turning to look at meand give me a wink which makes me blush. " You three have a good time and ejoy yourself's." The guy says. " Alright, thank's Tom." Damian say's to him. We walk into the next room wchich was pretty big, It had chairs lined up along the back wall and a bar on the side with a door next to that which I am guessing led to outside, on the oposite side of the room there were five small tables scattered around with chairs around them, on the wall on the side of the room which we were standing on there was a D.J. table, and in the middle was the dance floor, where people were already standing
around dancing and talking. When we entered the room a group of guy's at the table closest to the door started to whistle and chatter amongst themselve's.
'Well that's one group I will try to steer clear of tonight.' I thought to myself. Unluckly that is where Damian and Conor were headed.
"'Ey Damo whos the chick." One of the guys at the table asked as w approached the table. " Hey Keiren, Boys this is Charlotte shes from the U.S., Charlotte these are some of me best mates. Thats Keiren who is also my cousin," " It is a pleasure to meet you Charlotte." He says getting up and shaking my hand gently. " And this is Rory Collins." He said pointing to guy who looked 17 or 18 with Light brown hair and merald green eyes. " It's nice to meet you Charlotte." " Its nice to meet you also Rory." I say shaking his hand. " This is Michael Mc calyn and his brother Sean." Both stricking in resemblance to eachother with dark drown hair about the color of Damians maybe a little darker and green/blue eyes. " Helloo" "Hi " They say also standing to shake my hand. " This is Jared Callahan." He says pointing to a guy with Blonde hair and brown Eyes. " Hi Charlotte It is nice to meet you." " It's nice to meet you to Jared." I say shaking the shy fellows hand. " And this is Callie Brown, Michaels girlfriend, I think you two should get along nicely." He said introducing me to all of his friends. " Hello Callie It's nice to meet you." "It's great to meet you also Charlotte. And a Damo here said I am sure we will get along just fine. Why dont you come sit down and tell us a little about yourself, Hmm?" She says taking my hand and pulling me over to a seat next to her. " Alright, well what do you want to know." I ask as I sit in the seat she pulled me over to. " Well what is your full name, age, where you lived in america what it was like, what your family is like etc. " She says with a smile on her face. " Oh Um well lets see, My name is Charlotte Caitlynn Abigail Hennessey, I know long right?" I say as some of their mouths drop in astonishment.
'Well it is quite a name I mean its not everyday that you meet someone with for names.' " Well anyway, I am seventeen..." " When is your Birthday?" Asked Callie. " April 1st... I lived in Jacksonville Florida, most definitely the sunshine state Its hot all the time even during the winter it usually doesnt go below 40, and in the summer usually between the 80's and 100's it gets to hot there aspecially if you have to go a whole summer without an air conditioner. I have one brother and my mom, my dad passed away about two years ago, since then it has just been my older brother, my mom, and myself. And gosh how I miss them right now." I said my eyes starting to tear-up, A tear slides down my face and I quickly wipe it away with the back of my hand. " Hey now dont cry, your not alone here you know you've got all of us." Callie says putting her arm around my shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze. " Thanks Callie, that means alot to me." I say giving her a smile.
" No problem Charlotte. Right guys?" She asks everyone and a round of " Yeses" " Yeps" " ayes" and " Youve got that rights" go around the table. " You know Charlotte now that your in our group you're gonna need a nick name you know to shorten your name a bit almost everyone has one here, Michael is micky, Keiren is keir, Damian is damo, and my name is really Caroline but I didnt want to be called carrie so the guys figured they would just call me Callie.So do you have a nickname or do we need to find you one?" she asks me. " Well all of my friends always just call me Lottie, But if you want to you can make up another one." I say. " No Lottie is just fine, It is very Irish sounding." She says. " Well my dad and mom are actually from Ireland they were born here but they met in Florida, My dad is the one who made up my nickname." I tell them. " Alright everybody lets get some slow dancing going on in here, Here is a song called crazy love sung by Mr Michael Buble." " I canhear her heart beat for," The song began. " Charlotte would you like to dance." Damian asks me. " Yes I'd love to." I answer. We start to dance very slowly at first I am about half a foot away from him and then by the end of the song I am about 1 inch away, the song ends. " Would you like somrthing to drink?" he asks me. " Oh yes please." " What would you like water, soda..." " Water please, And thank you." I say as I go and sit back down at our table with th erest of the guy's and Callie. " Hey guys." I say as I sit cown next to Callie. " Hey Lottie, your a really good dancer did you know that?" Jared asked me. " Aww thanks Jared your so sweet, But yes I did know that. I took dance for 6 years from the time I was 6 till I was 12." I say to him. " Oh really? What kind of dance?" Callie asks me. " Well I took ballet for 5 years and jazz for 1." I answer.
" Hey Lottie where did Damo go?" Keiren asks me. 'Gosh the Mcginty family sure has a lot of HOT guys in it' I think to myself. " Oh he went to go and get us somehing to drink." I say to Keiren just then Damian comes back with the drinks in his hand. " Here ya are an Ice cold water." " Thank you Damian " I say as I take the water out of his hand and take a long sip of it. " No problem Charlotte." He says. After about half an hour of dancing, talking and just sitting Conor comes up to me and aks if I would like to dance with him 'say no, say no, say no!' '"Sure I'd love to." Darnit! So we get out on the dance floor and a song called, well I dont know what it was called but It was really slow and so we started to dance at first we were about a foot apart then I felt myself being pulled in closer, and by the middle of the song I was about half an inch away from him, I tried to move away once or twice but it didnt work because he would just pull me back in. Damian tried to cut in but Conor just kept right on dancing. On my third attempt he pulled me in even harder and then...He kissed me.
Right when he did that I instantly reacted with a slap right across the face , Of course everbody saw the whole incident, I then looked at him with tears in my eyes and turned around and ran out of the room, to where I do not know or did I really care just as long as I was away from Conor. When I ran out of the room I just kept on running, blind of what was in front of me I ran out the front door and right into someone. " Excuse me I'm sorry I didnt see you standing there." I said as I wiped the tears off of my face. " Charlotte whats wrong?" Asks the person I ran into, It was Damian. He must have come outside after Conor had not let him cut in. I just start crying louder, I see a bench through my tears and I walk over to it and sit down. " Charlotte whats wrong?" He asks again coming over to me. " is it something Conor did, Cause if it is I can go kill him now if you want me too." He says. " Y,,y,,yes." I say between sobs.
" Wait it was something he did, or you want me too kill him now?" He asks. " It..wa.was..something he did." I stutter. " What did he do to you? He didnt hurt you did he?" He starts to ask frantically. " I thought he said he wasn't going to let anything happen to me, and yet he has to go and kiss me right infront of everybody in the room, I was so Embaressed I didn't know what to do so I just slapped him and ran out. And whoever told him that he could kiss any girl he decideds that he likes anyway, Well dont just stand there, say something, anything.!" I say in a rush of anger. 'Well that helped a little'. "He kissed you!?" He finally says in astonishment. " Yes." I said. " But why did you let him?" He asks. " Well It's kind of hard to stop him when he does it out of absolutely nowhere!" I exclaim. Silence. " So do ye like him?" He asks." What! No. Why would you think that?" I ask. " I.. I dont know honestly I just dont know." He says. After a few seconds he says under his breath " Oh I'm gonna get him for this." just low enough for me not to be able to hear anything but the S at the end. " Hmm?" I ask. " Oh nothing." He says. We both just sat there on the bench for a few seconds in silence until Conor comes running out of the club. " Charlotte.." BAMM! Damian punched him in the face I watched in horror as he took a swing at Conors face.
Chapter 6
Charlotte's P.O.V.
Conor stands back up, holding his hand to his lip where Damian had hit him, after the initial shock wore off he tried to hit him back but Damian was to quick and dodged just in time. " Damian STOP!!" I screech running to stand in between Damian and Conor. " Damian stop it." I say as Damian try's to hit him again and lightly punches him in the stomach. " Why you." Conor says as he try's again to hit Damian. " Conor I said stop it! My Gosh! Damian your mom was right when she said Conor acts like he is only 5," I say. " Hah." Damian laughs. " But, I also think that she should have included you in that sentance as well." " Hah." Conor laughs. " Now if you are quite through with your little fight I am going home, And since I am the only one with the drivers licsense then you will either have to come with me or walk home by yourselves, And it really doesnt matter which you do, But I am leaving right now." I say walking over to where we had parked earlier this evening. " Well are you coming or not." I say as I look back at the two boys just standing there with their hands in their pockets.
" Yeah." Conor says but Damian says, " No you two go ahead, Tell Mammie I'll be home later." He says and he turns and goes around the corner of the Earth. "Where is he going?" I ask Conor as we get into the car. " Who knows." "Listen I'm sorry about what happened, I know I shouldtnt have just kissed you like that, I really dont know what came over me, And if you cant find it in your heart to ever forgive me I understand." He says when we are stopped at a red light. " Its cool Conor." 'What am I saying it's not cool It totally was not cool!' After about five minutes of a silent car ride we arrived at the house. " Conor you better go right upstairs and I wouldnt let Mrs Mcginty see the left side of your face unless you want to explain what happened, Which I doubt you do, but it's totally up to you." I say as I get out of the car. We go inside and Conor walks in on my right side so as to block the cut and bruise on his lip. " Oh are ye back already I thought ya would stay out later It's only 9:00. Wheres Damian?" She says as we walk into the main Hallway leading up to the stairs. " Oh, ummm, I think he went to take a walk, or something." I say. " Oh alright." Mrs Mcginty says " Uh yeah we're going to go up stairs and get ready for bed, cause I am really tired after that long plane ride over here and all."
" Alright, Good night Shannon have a good nights rest dear, you too Conor." " Good night Mrs Mcginty and thank you for alowing us to stay here while Becky is sick it really means alot to me." I say. " Your very welcome dear." " G'night Auntie." Conor says as we walk up the stairs. " G'night Charlotte." " Night Conor." - " Hey I really am sorry about what happened, I dont know what came over me." He says. " It's fine Conor really, Good night." I say as I walk into my room. " Night." " hhhaahhh." I sigh as I Iie down on my bed. I lie there for a few minutes resting and then I decide to get a shower and then go to bed. So I get up, get my Pajamas out of the top drawer of the dresser, went into the bathroom, closed the door, turned on the water, stripped, and got in. 'ahhh this feels sooo good'. I think to myself as I let the hot water run all over my body. I stayed in the shower for about fifteen minutes and then got out, got dressed and brushed my teeth and hair put it up and walked back into my room. I had been out of the shower for about ten minutes and I was sitting on my bed when there was a knock on my door. " Yes." I say. Damian then sticks his head in the door. " Hey Charlotte, could we talk for a minute?" He asks. " About what." I ask crossing my arms over my chest knowing full well what he wanted to talk about. " I think you know what." He says. " Can I come in." He asks opening the door a little more. " I guess." I say. " May I sit down or do I have to stand." " You may sit." I say with an annoyed look on my face. Why? You may ask do I have an annoyed look on my face, well there are several reasons, Well maybe there arent several, but a girl doesnt have to have a reason to be annoyed with a boy, does she? Anyway. " Listen Charlotte," I turn my head away from him. "I'm sorry that I hit him, and that you had to see it all. But I had my reasons..." " Oh yeah you had your reasons, Damian there was and is no reason why you had to hit him." " Yes there was and is." He says. 'Oh great just what I need a fight with a boy I just met today.' " Listen Damian, I am really tired, and I have never had jet lag before so I really need to get to sleep. Could we please just talk about this in the morning?" I ask. Yaaaaawnn ahh. " Charlotte please just hear me out." He says. Yaaaaawnn. I shook my head no, pulled the blankets down, crawled under them, and put my head down on the pillow closing my eyes. " Charlotte ple.." I shook my head no again my eyes still closed. Please just go away. He then gets up from the bed and walks to the door. " Good night Charlotte." He says as he opens the door and walks out toward his room. Why, oh why did this have to happen? I think as a tear trickles down my face. I' just got here today and already two boys are fighting over me. I thought I left all of that behind when I left Florida, First it was Carson and Justin, and now its Damian and Conor. Why is it that everywhere I go boys are fighting over me. I just hope this one doesnt end like the last. haaaahh.' I sigh then fall asleep.
This Chapter I think is one of my favorites. I hope you like it. Oh and by the way I welcome all types of coments good and bad Smile
Chapter 7
Charlotte's P.O.V.
YAAAWWNN. I yawn as I wake up. after a few minutes of just lieing there I looked at the clock that was sitting on the bed side table. 'Good grief 12:00 I have never ever slept this late in my entire life.!' I thought as I quickly got out of bed and got dressed, I put on a yellow T-shirt and pair of Green Bermuda shorts, pulled my hair back after brushing it and went downstairs. " Well good-morning Charlotte, I trust you had a good sleep." Mrs. Mcginty asks me, as I walk into the Kitchen I smelled freshly baked bread which I saw sitting on the counter along with some sandwiches and a bag of chips already open. " Good-morning or afternoon rather, I had a marvelous sleep but I am so sorry that I slept so late you must think me awfully rude I don't usually sleep this late, in fact I don't think I have ever slept this late in my life." I say sitting on one of the stools at the island. " Oh no dear not at all, It's quite all right. Damian himself didnt get up till just a few minutes ago. Besides it's perfectly normal to wake up so late what with jet lag and all." She says getting a knife out of a drawer and feeling the still warm bread deciding that it was still too warm she puts the knife down on the counter.
" If you're hungry dear I made some sandwiches. Just help yourself whenever ya be wantin' one ." She says pointing to the plate of sandwhiches in the center of the Island. " Oh yes ma'am thank you." I say grabbing one of the sandwhiches and starting to eat it. " Everybody else is in the game room if ya'd like to join them." " Alright. Really good sandwhiches by the way." I say taking another half of a sandwhich as I walk out of the room. " Thank ya darlin'."
" Hey guy's." I say as I walk into th game room " Hey Charlotte." Gemma and Jenny say at the same time and then they start to giggle. " 'ay Charlotte." Conor says. " Finally decide to get up did ya now." Damian say's with a joking look on his face. " Oh shut-up! you yourself didn't get up until just a few minutes ago." I say jabbing him in the ribs as I sat, in the only empty spot left in the room, next to him. " What 'cha guy's watchin?" I ask. "Glee." They all said at the same time. " Hmm I should have known that I have seen like all of them, But I guess I havent seen this one yet." I say staring at the T.V. Screen.
As I am whatching the show I was holding the rest of my sandwhich in the air, and all of a sudden I feel my hand gently move. " Hey whats the big idea that was my sandwhich you just took a huge bite out of mister." I said when I looked over and saw Damian chewing mysteriously. " Sorry but I'm hungry and when a fellas hungry...well..." He says swallowing the bite of my sandwhich that he had taken. " Yeah well get your own next time." I say. " Fine if you feel that way about it then I will get my own." He says getting up off of the couch. " So what are we going to do today?" I ask them. 'Buzz..buzz.' " oops squze me." I say as I look at my new text message on my phone.
Damian's and
Chrlotte's P.O.V.
I got up from the couch and walked to the front door through the kitchen. " Hey Damo what are you up t..." " Sorry ma I cant talk right now." I said as I kept walking. Once I got out side I texted Charlotte....
"Charlotte its Damian could you please come out to the front porch I need to talk to you ." It read. " Excuse me guys I need to call my mom." I said lieing as I got up from the couch where I was sitting to walk to the front door. Once I got outside Damian was sitting on the porch swing his back towards me. He didnt hear me come out so I walked up behind him and said, " So what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked. Oh not that line again that's what she said last night. " Listen Charlotte please don't interupt me this time..." "Damian I know what you want to talk to me about..." I said inturupting him even though he told me not to. " Do ya now? Then what is it that I want to talk to you about if you are so smart?" " You want to tell me your reasons you had to hit Conor last night, but the fact is Mr Mcginty there is no reason I really ." I yelled storming into the house. " Charlotte come back there is a reason Charlotte please!!!"
Charlotte's P.O.V.
I ran up stairs to my room near tears not wanting to talk to anybody on my way up I ran into Mrs Mcginty. " I'm sorry Mrs. Mcginty excuse me." " Charlotte whats wro..." She started to ask me as I run into my room and slam the door, well maybe I didnt slam it but I didnt close it quietly thats for sure.
Back outside with Damian ..
" God what is wrong with that girl every time I try to talk to her she runs away."
Back in my room..
Knock, knock. Someone knocked on my door. " Please just go away I dont want to talk to anyone right now." I say lifting my head up to speak to whoever was at the door. " Charlotte its Mrs Mcginty Please let me in....Charlotte plea...." " Please just go away." I say trying not to burst into tears. " Charlotte I am not going away until you let me in! So either you let me in now or I will be standing rigth here outside your door until you come out. So which will it be?" She asks me. I finally decide to open the door so I get off of the bed and open the door to let Mrs. Mc ginty in. " Thank you." She says as I close the door behind her and she goes to sit on the bed, I sit opposite her. " Now, dear, What is wrong, why are you crying?" " Oh Mrs. Mcginty I just dont know what to do." " You dont know what to do about what dear?" She asks. " Last night, I was Dancing with Conor, an, and He, he kissed me." " heh, so what are you crying about?" " Before I was trying to pull away from him and then he just did it, and after... I slapped him and then ran out, and for some reason Damian was out there, I guess he went when he tryed to cut in on us and Conor didnt let him, he just ignored him and kept on dancing. Anyway, I ran into him blind from tears, I didnt see who it was...
