The night was warm out it was the most beautiful night ever, Brooke had just gotten done in her shop that she thought she would lock up and head stright home she bite her lip lightly running a hand into her hair lightly licking her lips lightly as she takes a shakey breath. She had missed her best friend Charlie all those years that she didn't even kno that her and his parnets had set a date for them to end up getting married when they where younger. Brooke grabbed her things walking to the door but stopped to look down she noticed that everything was out of place in her shop sighed softly as she licked her lips a little more shaking her head a little laughing softly to herself. "I better clean this mess up before i go home." Brooke said to her softly as she put her bag ontot he desk then started to clean up her heart was pounding into her chest so loud that she thought it would nearly jump out of her chest. "I wonder where Charlie is." She mumbled to herself frowning lightly, when she first saw him it was when they where at his family home talking to each other then she kne that out of no where he didn't even say good by to her hen he left wiping her eyes from the tears that she had upon her cheeks she pressed her lips laughing a little. "why should i even bother he might not even wont to be friend's with me anymore, heck he might be married and have a kid now." She told herself out of the blue when the door bell rang from her shop.
"We are closed." Brooke said in a harsh voice in her tone as she turned around having her back to the person she finished cleaning then turned around to face the person that came into her shop her eyes widen at who she
saw. "C C Ch Charlie." Brooke finely got out of her lips as she would look at him she shook her head. "No wait." She went over to him as tears falls down her cheeks. "you left you didn't say good bye." She replied softly to him as she looks down biting her lip lightly she tucked her hair behind her ear then takes a deep breath closing her eyes shaking her head lightly. Brooke couldn't believe that he was standing there in fornt of her in her own shop she reopen her eyes as she sighed a little. "I've missed you." She whispered to him softly as she threw her arms around his neck hugging she takes a deep breath of his scent then pulled back wiping her eyes laughing a little she bite her inner cheek gently then asked him softly. "What are you even doing here?" She looks at him wtih her eyes then run a hand into her hair something about him was so sweet she remember that day when they both ran outside to play hide go seek with each other she giggled a little as she blushed a bright red upon her cheeks then lciked her plump lips lightly.
"I thought you didn't even wont to see me anymore." Brooke finely said to him softly as she looks down shook her head once more, bring her eyes to meet his as her brown eyes shine in the moon light that was coming in from the window of her shop she swallowed hard then sighed a little, she pressed her lips then thought for a few minutes. "Where is his wife?" She tucked her hair out of her face then asked him. "Where's wife?" Thinking that he had been married by now her heart was breaking thinking that her best friend would be married already and didn't need her anymore she licked her lips then looks down at her hands closing her eyes once again thinking that if she didn't look at him he wouldn't see the sadness that where in beautiful brown eyes.

However, he knew it was for the best. If those fights in school proved anything, he had to get control over his wolf side and if that meant not putting Brooke into trouble, he was willing to do it. Over those years those seemed to prove to do him best. He didn’t grow up with that many wolves around aside from his own family and back at Vrévale, there was always another wolf that he would bump heads with. However, once his father had gotten sick, he had left college just before he could graduate and came back to the Maine town. While he wanted to move back sooner, he figured that Brooke must have moved on from him and since his parents seemed happy with the progress he was making elsewhere, he figured it’d be best to stay with his aunt and uncle. That’s until now that his father had became ill. So he moved back, and after a month of getting settled and helping his mom take care of his father, he had found out where to find Brooke. Honestly, he had been putting it off on going to see her. He could only imagine that she must have hated him for leaving and then losing contact all these years.
So after being encouraged to go see her, being given the address of the shop that she owned which made him smile at the thought of her doing good, he went to go see her. As he approached her shop, he could see her through the windows of the shop. Taking a deep breath, he entered the shop and was met with her saying it was closed. Maybe this was too soon, he though to himself as he went to turn to the door before she could see him but he was froze in her steps as she called out his name. Turning around, he lifted his gaze to fix on her.
Brooke listen to his words then looked up at him with her eyes as she giggled softly shaking her head lightly. "nope no boyfriend or anything to be honest." She replied softly to him biting her lower lip gently as her dark brown eyes locked onto his eyes she blushed a bright red up on her cheeks. "Charlie i didn't even think about with being anyone because I always had feelings for you." She told him pressing her lips toegther licking her lips gently as she would tuck her hair behind her ear then takes a deep breath as she looks down then finely bring her eyes right back up to his once more. "you have explaning to do Charlie." She pointed out to him blinking her eyes lightly licking her lips a little more as sshe takes a deep breath then cleared her throat some, she run a hand into her hair.
"Would you like something to drink?" Brooke asked her softly as she would turn around to walk over to the frig that she had getting her something to drink she turned back around to look over at him swallowing hard she sighed softly she could feel something was off about him with her being a witch she frown lightly as she place her drink onto corner then walked over to him she place her hand onto his cheek locking eyes onto his Charlie knew what Brooke was because when she used her powers around she had to tell him that she was a witch. "Charlie your some kind of supernatrual aren't you." She whispered softly as she looked down shaking her head gently then takes a deep breath her heart was pounding into her chest so loud that she could almost hear her heart.
Charlie had released the embrace that he still had Brooke in before he let his arms fall back at his side, giving her a soft smile in the process. He shoved his hands back into his jacket’s pockets, glancing around the shop in curiosity before his eyes found hers again. It was then that her words caught him off guard, causing his eyes to widen the slightest but the small smile remained on his lips as he was pleasantly surprised. He’s always had feelings for Brooke as well but he never really knew how to tell her and with him moving, he really couldn’t find the way to express it. Before he could respond or even say how he felt in return, she mentioned something about an explanation he knew he owed her big time.
“How did you...” his question trailed off before his hearing could hear her heartbeat quicken in pace. He took her hand in his, as his eyes remained locked with hers. “You don’t have to be afraid or worried...” he assured her as his hand squeezed her gently in a reassuring gesture. “A lot has changed, Brooke... I can sense you are similar to me. By that, I mean, not human,” he said as he held onto her hand. “The reason why I left was because I was about to go through my first transformation as a...werewolf,” he admitted as the word still felt odd to him. Probably because he was admitting it out loud to someone he remembered being normal with. “I hope you don’t think of me differently,” he added, almost sheepishly. “I can tell something is different with you too..” he said, giving her a soft smile.
Hearing his words she sighed softly as Brooke nods her head slightly she bite her bottom lip replying to him softly. “Witch I’m a witch Charlie.” She looks down bring her eyes back up to his licking her lips lightly. Shaking her head some. “Besides the point Charlie with you being a wolf I knew that something was wrong with you in school every time you would get mad at someone, but then you try to calm down so you wouldn’t turn I could see it in your eyes.” She whispered pressing her lips together she shakes her head once again then said. “I didn’t tell you back then because I thought you would be mad at me for using my power on you when every time you would lose it with your temper.” Brooke had used her power to make him not phase in school she backs away tucking her hair behind her back ear looking away from him closing her eyes waiting for him to either yell at her or walk away from her.
Charlie just kept his eyes on Brooke as she spoke, slightly surprised but really he had a feeling this whole time. It was true that his temper before he actually had his first transformation was horrible sometimes. He would have to see the counselor many times and at some point, they had written him off as a problem child. Sighing softly, he nodded his head as he understood everything now. However when she said the possibility of him being mad, that’s when he brought his gaze back on Brooke as he shook his head. Seeing her close her eyes, that’s when he decided to walk over to her slowly.
When Brook listen to his words she gave him a soft sigh then ropen her eyes as she would look deeply into his eyes with her own. "I am really glad that you aren't mad at me Charles. " She said to him softly then when she felt his touch she shrived lightly then licked her lips lightly as she would wrap her arms around his neck looking deeply into his eyes then she replied softly to him. "You have been my best friend and always been there for me as well." She giggled softly then blush a bright red upon her cheeks the witch pulled away tuckign some of the hair behind her ear as her eyes look away from him then she licked her lips replying softly.
"But do you even know what I am." She look back at him with her eyes biting her lower lip gently as her heart started to pound into her chest pressing her lips lightly together.
