Chapter 7

Tyrell POV:

"Babe, are you ready to leave?" I ask softly, walking into the room and kissing her head. I let my lips linger for a while before I pull away.

"Yeah" she smiled softly. It's been 2 weeks. 2 weeks since Shelby called her fat and Charlotte had seemed to completely shut everyone out. Even me. And it hurt, a lot.

I grab her hand and look at her but she wasn't looking at me, instead she was zoned out and frowning.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly, I pull her into a hug and run my hands through her hair.

"Is it Shelby?" I ask, pulling away and cupping her cheeks.

"She... she has been constantly coming up to me and saying the only reason you are with me is because we live together. Ted keeps asking about us... hooking up and Shelby ensures I know how fat I am" she whispers, her bottom lips begins to wobble and I feel my heart break for my girl but anger for the two assholes who don't understand the meaning of the word "no".

Even though I knew the anger I felt was because my heart broke for her, I had to comfort my girl. She needed me and I would always be there for her.

I sit down on the sofa and sit her on my lap. I wrap my arms around her and kiss her cheek.

" Charlotte, I'm with you because I love you. I love the way your smile lights up the room, I love the way your eyes shine when you are truly happy. I love the way you giggle and blush all the time. I love your curves, I love how you are the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I love how strong and determined and independent you are. I love you, I love your flirty side, your affectionate side, your good side, your funny side. I love every single thing about you" I say, my hands cupping her cheeks so I can look into her eyes. "Ted is an asshole. He doesn't know what you went through, no one knows what we went through. I want you to show they that their words don't affect you. I promise you it will stop, I'll make anything that makes you sad disappear" I say. "Can you do that? Can you act as though it doesn't affect you?" I ask softly.

She nodded her head, taking a deep breath before she leans forwards and kisses my lips.

"I love you Tyrell" she says, my name sounding perfect, as cheesy as it sounds, coming from her. "I honestly don't know where I would be without you. You've bought me happiness that no one else has and next time, I promise I'll tell you straight away" she says, she leans up and kisses my cheek.

"I know things like that are not easy to talk about" I say, "I know it's hard to speak about things that make you unhappy but know I'll be here. If it's early in the morning, if it's late at night, heck, even if we are arguing. I would never want you unhappy. Though I wouldn't want us to argue" I say and she smiled, her eyes lighten in colour as she hugs me. She rests her neck in my chest and I rub her back before she pulls away.

"Now, let's get to school" she says after kissing me quickly.

I pout at her and she laughs and when she does, I feel like everything is right and everything is how it is meant to be.

Today, we walk to school. We told Ben and Emilia not to bother today as we wanted to have a nice walk as a couple.

I began to swing our joint hands back and forth and I saw her laughing at me.

"What?" I ask with a pout and she just shook her head at me.

"Nothing" she says making me roll my eyes.

Damn, I love my girl.
