\\You kidnapped me to protect me?// - Private

"Oh..well uh, good luck with that. I gotta get unpacked a little bit myself..So, take care, ok?" Dustin said, smiling.

"You're hanging up?" She asked.

"Uh well...I don't know what else to talk to you about....except that I miss you..alot." Dustin muttered, blushing lightly.

"Well, that's your fault for moving away isn't it?" she asked, knowing how he meant it.

"I did it because I was hurting you more than I was helping." Dustin said, getting defensive.

She sighed. She didn't want to go there, but, this had to be said. "Dustin, it hurt me more when you left than almost anything ever has."

"Well...would you want me to move back?" Dustin asked, gulping and hoping she might not.

"Only if you want to." she said softly.

"Eh, soon...I just got here you know. Sheesh." Dustin muttered, chuckling.

"Alright, as long as you're happy..." she said softly. "Oh, hey, my dad's back. I gotta go."

"Alright see ya. Be careful." Dustin said, hanging up and smiling. "She's doing good.." he muttered, going back to his own business. Craig had come up with the truck and stopped before Charisma, getting out. "Ok, hopefully this will be the last." he said as he started putting stuff in.

"It will be." she said, helping him put stuff in the truck.

Craig then got in the truck once it was done. "Ok, come on. Let's get back to your boyfriend, I think he's getting lonely." he said, chuckling as he then drove off once she was inside. "So...can I trust that you'll make the right decision..getting off those pills or staying? Have you even figured that out yet?"

"It depends on what the lack of pills does to me." she said softly, looking out her window.

"Just be careful...please." Craig said, afraid he'd have to go through the same thing with his own daughter. That was enough pain.

She nodded. "I will. I promise Daddy. You're not going to loose me."

Craig then parked before Jake's place, sighing as he got out of the truck and started to get things in. Jake was on the couch, having been told off by Charisma's dad. "Hey, is Charisma with you?" he asked, smiling. Craig nodded, grunting as he put down another box.

Charisma gave her dad a look as she went around the truck and hugged Jake. "Hey baby." she smiled.

Jake hugged back, kissing her head. "Hey, sweet thing. No trouble at all?" he asked, mostly towards Charisma and her father in general. The poor man was old! "No trouble at all, helps with my aches a little bit." Craig said, smiling as he came in with other things.

She smiled, kissing Jake one more time before going to the car to help bring things in.

Craig sighed, stretching. "Well, just sit there and watch. Make sure nothing falls out." he grinned, joking with his soon to be son in law. He then left after Charisma, getting more boxes until they were done.

Charisma smiled, sighing at all the boxes she now had to unpack and find places for. "Well... that whole thing only took a day..."

Craig nodded, stretching again. "Well, you can unpack em tomorrow. It's late anyway, I gotta get back to your uncle before he gets all antsy about me again." he rolled his eyes. His brother always thought that he was still thinking of offing himself, despite that he had gotten over his wife's death...little by little.

She smiled and nodded, hugging her dad. "Thanks for helping me Daddy." she said softly.

Craig nodded, hugging his daughter tight. "Be good, please." he chuckled, kissing her head and leaving. Jake sighed, grunting. "Damn it, it sucks that I can't help.." he complained.
