Chapter 1
Charlotte's P.O.V
I was sitting on the plane on my way back from California. I'd gone there last year for school needing to get away after my dad got really ill. After a talk with my mom I decided to come home for good. My name is Charlotte Danvers, the sister of Caleb Danvers. Caleb has short dark brown hair and brown eyes; he's tall and kinda muscled. I on the other hand have long light brown hair and blue eyes and short. As the plane lands I grab my handbag and am soon heading to the exit with the rest of my luggage, I notice Gorman the man who took care of my father. I got in the car and he drove me home. I was a little nervous since I hadn't been here in a year. I grab my bags and walk in the house to be greeted with my mom smiling at me; I drop my bags and run into her arms.
"It's good to have you home" she said stroking my hair.
"Hey who are you talking to" Reid asks walking into the room with a bag of crisps.
"Oh my god Charlie is that you" he asks using my old nickname as I struggle out of moms hold and he picks me up and hugs me tight burying his head in my neck.
"It's nice to see you too" I told him laughing and wrapping my arms around his neck. I notice Pogue and Tyler walk in followed by Caleb and Kate and some blonde girl I don't remember. Must be Sarah.
Pogue is the second oldest son with shoulder length dirty blonde hair and is tall with muscles just like the others. Then there's Reid who's got a mop of shaggy blonde hair with the most amazing blue eyes you will ever see. Then there's Tyler or baby boy as we call him. He's the youngest son with dark brown hair and brown eyes. Kate has olive coloured skin with brown eyes and long brown hair. I glanced at a girl and notice she has blonde hair and blue eyes and is exactly what Caleb described Sarah to me in his emails. Since he met Sarah after I moved I never really saw her, I mean I did decide to move at the beginning of the summer holiday instead of when school started. And from what I was told my dad died to help Caleb save himself and Sarah by willing Caleb his power. All of the sons and the girls are 18 and have already left school leaving me as the youngest since I'm only 17.
"You're back" Caleb says smiling and Reid puts me down but keeps an arm around my shoulders.
"Obviously" I say rolling my eyes.
"Okay so movie night here it is" Kate says excitedly.
"Erm excuse me but who is she?" the blonde I'm assuming to be Sarah asked.
"Seriously you guys didn't mention me at all" I asked and elbowed Reid in the side and he grunted in pain. "You know that hurts" I said faking hurt and wriggling from away from Reid and running off towards the kitchen. Reid followed, grabbed me around the waist and threw me over his shoulder walking back in to the others. Kate spotted us first and laughed causing everyone to laugh and I repeatedly punched Reid in the back but not enough to actually hurt him.
"Reid put me down you damn bastard!" I shouted at him.
"It's like she never left" I heard Kate say.
"Yeah it definitely feels like old times" that came from Tyler.
"Reeeid" I whined "put me down. Seriously bloods rushing to my head here" with that he hit me on the ass causing me to yelp and then lifted me up and set me down and wrapped his arms around my waist and looking me in the eyes. I stared right back and bit my bottom lip and looked down to his very kissable lips, his lips parted and when I glanced up at him again I saw something. Love or lust? I couldn't tell which one. I squirmed out of his hold and looked at my mom who was looking at me knowingly; she was the only one who knew about my lifelong crush on Reid.
"I'm gonna go and take a shower. Is all my stuff still in my room or has it been moved."
"Everything is right where you left it sweetie" she told me and I practically ran up the stairs and into my room. I grabbed everything I need for a shower which was just a towel and underwear for when I get out and got in. With the hot water cascading down over me I wondered what I was gonna do. I mean I love Reid, I have since I was 13 years old. But Caleb told me about him sleeping around, using girls and chucking them when he was done, about him being nothing but a player. I didn't want to be just another notch on his bed post. I washed my hair and got out the shower, dried off and put on my underwear. It was a black bra and thong set from Victoria secrets. I walked out the bathroom towel drying my hair and then threw my towel on the floor. I went to my chest of draws and wardrobe and pulled on some short pyjama shorts and a vest top, I put the matching pyjama top on my bed for later. I heard a knock on the door and shouted for them to come in and my mom walked in.
"How are you doing with everything darling?" she asked sitting on my bed. I sat next opposite her I mean it is a king a size bed there's plenty of room.
"I'm fine."
"And you still like Reid? I'm sure Caleb told you what he's been like since you left."
"Yes mom I still like Reid but I don't know what to do."
"Just do what you think is best for you, do what your heart tells you to do and you'll be fine. Everyone's waiting for you downstairs." She left my room but left the slightly open. I lay on my bed thinking about what to do about my feelings for Reid when I just grunted in frustration, grabbed the pillow form beside my head on the bed and threw it at the door. Tyler happened to choose that particular moment to walk in and the pillow hit him in the face and I burst out laughing. He shook his head and lay beside me on the bed.
"So... you and Reid" he said and I looked at his and raised my eyebrow.
"What about me and Reid?"
"I think the same as I did before you left a little over a year ago. That you both like each other and are both too scared to tell each other." I grabbed the pillow from under my head and hit him in the face with it.
"Come on you know you like him" he told me laughing.
"Seriously you're still on that I mean come on I haven't seen him in over a year."
"And I know I'm right. Come on its obvious Reid's still crazy about you."
"Okay 1 Reid has never been crazy about me and 2 he obviously isn't crazy about anyone since all he does is sleep around and treat girls like crap" Tyler looked at me shocked.
"Look Reid only started sleeping around after you left, you are the only girl he has ever actually had feelings for" he told me.
"And how would you know?" I shot at him.
"I'm his best friend I can tell by the way he acts around you."
"Whatever you say baby boy" I told him and he hit me in the face with a pillow making me laugh.
"Am I interrupting something" I heard someone say and looked to see Reid standing in my doorway.
"Nah we're just coming down" I said and when I went to get up but Tyler pulled me back down on the bed.
"You two" he waved a hand at me and Reid "need to talk" with that he got up and left closing the door behind us.
"What do we need to talk about?" Reid asked raising an eyebrow at me.
"Beats the hell outta me."
"So are you gonna join in on the movie night or not?" he said walking to the bed and sitting on it.
"Yeah let's go" I said grabbing his hand, Reid entwined our fingers and I felt sparks shoot up my arm. We walked downstairs and into the living room to the others still hand in hand and got a smirk from Tyler.
"So what we watching?" I asked and looked for somewhere to sit. Kate and Pogue were cuddling on the love seat, Sarah and Caleb and Tyler were on the settee.
"Dirty dancing" Kate said. Reid groaned and sat on the floor and pulled me down into his lap, I put my legs out in front of me and leaned into his chest. By the time the film finished Reid was sprawled out on the floor and I was lying with my head on his chest with his one hand entwined with one of mine and his other hand running up and down my back.
"Okay so next is mean girls" Kate said and Reid groaned again and I lifted my head and smacked his chest.
"What's wrong Reid you used to watch chick flicks all the time? You know if I'm remembering right me and Ty used to go round yours every Friday after school and we'd spend the entire night watching chick flicks. You know I seem to recall you telling me that bring it on was your favourite." Everyone laughed while Reid glared at me then smirked; he rolled over so he was on top of me.
"Want to make fun of me now" he asked threateningly and I laughed and put a hand on his shoulder then pushed and flipped us over so I was on top, I grabbed his hands and put them above his head then bent down so I could talk in his ear.
"I wouldn't try and intimidate me Reid you should know by now nothing you could do would scare me and I could totally kick your ass if you want to try it."
"When did you get so... so hot" he whispered and his breath brushed my neck and I shivered and looked at his face to see his lips parted and his eyes now on my lips, and then we heard a cough. I looked behind me to see a pissed off Pogue and Caleb, an amused Kate and Tyler and a confused Sarah.
"You know you two could at least talk so we can hear" Kate told me and Tyler added "I'm not sure we want to know what they're saying Kate." I got up and pulled Reid up with me, I turned to Tyler and felt Reid's arm rest on my shoulders.
"So baby boy wanna go watch a film in my room?" I asked him and I saw Caleb relax a little and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah sure" Ty told me as Reid asked "what we watching?"
"The lost boys" I told him then turned around and pushed him and he landed on his ass. I laughed and took off running up the stairs, once I got to the top of the stairs a pair of arms wrapped around my waist and picked me up spinning me around.
"Think you two could spare me the couple act for one night? Tyler asked walking past us and into my room, Reid picked me up so he was carrying me bridal style and went into my room and threw me on the bed. Reid got in next to me and Tyler went to my DVD cupboard.
"The lost boys?" he questioned and I nodded at him and he put it on and got on the bed the other side of since I was lying in the middle. Deciding I wasn't comfy I shifted so that I was lying with my head on Reid's shoulder and one of my legs over his, he wrapped his arms round my waist pulling me closer to him and rubbed circles in my back. Halfway through the film there was a knock on the door and Kate popped her head round and walked in with Sarah behind her.
"we ordered take out and ordered you something so here you go" she placing a the food on my bed and Sarah put the cans of pop on my bed side cupboard next to my alarm clock. I sat up and looked in the boxes to find a completely plain burger and some chicken strips and started eating and Kate and Sarah left. When I was done eating I moved Reid's pizza box out his hands.
"You know I wasn't done eating" he said but couldn't keep the smirk off of his face and I rolled my eyes at him and sat in between his legs and leaned into his chest, then I put his pizza box back in my lap. Reid finished his pizza and I put the box on the floor and I snuggled into his chest while he wrapped his arms around me. Once the movie finished Tyler turned it off and put it back in the case then got back in the bed next to me. I put my leg over the top of Reid's and my head on his chest, Reid wrapped his arms round me and I soon found myself falling into a dreamless sleep. I woke up and found myself lying completely on top of Reid with his arms tight around my waist and Tyler nowhere to be found. I wiggled onto of Reid trying to get off of him and he groaned and I felt his morning glory pressed against my crotch and blushed. I looked back down at Reid to see him awake and staring at me.
"Morning" I told him "so uh think you could let me go" I asked him.
"Nah. I'm kinda liking this position we've found ourselves in."
"And why would that be?" I questioned him trying not to move around on him too much. Reid slowly started bringing his head up looking at my lips and just when he was inches away the door burst open. I jumped but Reid's arms around me stopped me from falling and I heard a high pitched squeal which I groaned at and buried my head in Reid's shoulder.
