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

A tear ran down her face, only because she didn't believe him. "I can't loose you..." She sighed. "I love you, Dustin." she said, slowly falling asleep again.

Dustin smiled, nodding. Now what was he supposed to do? Stick around with fear of breaking her heart? He sighed, holding her hand tightly as he sat beside her. Both Craig and Howard sat on the couch, closing their eyes.

"I love you all..." Charisma whispered as she closed her eyes, falling asleep again.

About a week later, Charisma was alone in her bed room with Dustin. She was laying on her bed. Today was the first day on her pills and she was a littler nervous. So far, she just felt like crying.

Dustin laid beside Charisma, caressing her cheek. "Don't cry....You know you have to take them. If not for us, then in memory of your mother...." he mumbled, kissing all over her face, including her lips.

"I know but I'm happy..." she said, breathing heavily, trying not to cry but a few tears leaked her eyes. "I thought you were going to leave me."

Dustin fell silent, but put on the same fake but realistic smile. "Yeah well, I never will...Ok? I love you." he said, hugging Charisma tightly.

She really started crying. "I love you." she said, not trying to stop now.

Dustin sighed, kissing her passionately. He didn't want her to cry, not ever. He was already starting to cause himself pain, he wouldn't break it off with her until this was over....He couldn't handle what her father did. It would be too much.

She stopped crying as she kissed him back and then pulled away. She smiled at him. "That really turned me on."

Dustin almost went pale at the thought. But then again, how could he turn her down? "And?" he asked, smirking and nuzzling her neck.

"And I need you." she said, her hand running down to 'him' Jeez.... these pills really were messing with her hormones.

Dustin jumped a bit, backing up. "W-Wait, ah..it's those pills." he said, noticing that he was giving in too quick. After all..he couldn't dig his grave any deeper than it was now.

"I know it is but why not act on it?" she asked, moving closer to him agian. "Please Dustin? I'm really hot for you right now."

Dustin bit his lip, trying not to let her words sway him. "Charisma, I don't know if I can stand all this pain you're going through ok? I don't know!" he said quietly, backing away.

She sat up and looked at him. "Dustin... please don't... Please. I only have to take these pills for a little while until I build up an imminuty. Please dont."

"Yeah but for that little while, I'll have to deal with random emotions, maybe even pain if you react badly to the damn pills." Dustin said, shivering like a damn coward.

"Are you breaking up with me?" Charisma asked. "Please don't. I'm just as scared as you are about this. I'm going to need somebody to hold me... Dustin please." she begged.

"I'll be your friend..." Dustin said, hugging Charisma tightly.

charisma shook her head. "Dustin... Telling me that we can still be friends is like my dog dieing and my dad saying we can still keep it... please don't leave me." she started crying again.

Dustin sighed, kissing Charisma once more passionately, hoping to get her mind off his statement. Toppling over her, he immediately went for her sweet spots. If he would have to do it to make her happy, he would, as a friend.

She moaned and didn't complain. It worked, his actions got her mind off of his statement and she just let her body feel what he was doing to her.

Dustin felt guilty as he did so, having to please Charisma much more than usual. "I love you.." he whispered in her ear as he continued. He couldn't pretend, not anymore.

Charisma was still really confused on weather they were together or not as they kept going, but, she was getting what she wanted. she moaned softly as he told her he loved her and she held tightly onto him. "I love you too.. so much.' she replied.

Exactly. So why complain? After wards, Dustin laid beside Charisma, looking up at the ceiling with guilt. Couldn't she accept it? He was..a coward. "You sure you don't just..maybe want to be friends with benefits?" he asked, breathing heavily.

With her head laying on his chest, she slowly lifted her head and looked up at him. "You really did dump me..." She breathed. "Dustin... who are you going to be with if not me? Who am I going to be with? It's only a couple of months!" she said, getting emotional. "Only a few months until my hormones can balance out again and get used to the pills."
