Gavyn
We're finally released for lunch and I catch up with Charlie again.
"Gavyn, you'll never believe what happened just now!" She gushed as we got in the pizza line.
"What?" I asked, grabbing a slice of cheese pizza and sliding it onto my plate.
"I got invited to a party!" She squealed. "Well actually, you and Warren were invited too. It's on the second and we're totally going! Gav, it's going to be so much fun!"
"Charlie, you know I can't go." I hissed. "I don't want to hurt anyone else."
"You won't!" She protested as we walked to our table. "I know you'll be fine."
I sighed and remained silent. It was useless to argue with Charlie. I kept my eyes down as we sat down at our empty table.
"Hey." Warren smiled and slid into the seat next to me and across from Charlie. "How have your days been so far?"
"Terrible." I say the same time Charlie says, "Great!"
Warren eyed me. "Did someone say something to you?"
I shook my head. "My eyes."
"Look at me, Gavyn." He ordered.
I brought my eyes to his and the small hairs on his arms stood up.
"I'm sorry." I mumbled and looked back down at my pizza.
"Okay, are you two done being negative?" Charlie asked, waving her bread stick around. "We got invited to a party! Isn't that exciting!"
"Charlie, we aren't going to a party. Especially not with the disappearances happening." Warren said sternly.
"I don't understand." Charlie said. "Why aren't you guys hyped? We'll have fun!"
"Charlie. I said we aren't going." Warren said, colder than last time.
"Okay fine." She sighed. "You and Gavyn can stay home, but I'm going."
"No you're not." Warren growled.
"Believe it or not, you aren't Dad." Charlie spat. "You definitely can't tell me what I can and can't do. I'm going to this party and no one's going to stop me."
I nervously twisted the rings around my fingers. Warren and Charlie always fight, but something about this one was different. It was more intense than their usual petty arguments.
"Guys, please stop." I looked up and begged. "We can discuss this later."
They fell silent but their faces were still hard and cold. Someone sat next to Charlie and I dropped my gaze again. I'm not going to hurt anyone else.
