Authors Note: Instead of Charlie moving an hour away to go to an internship i changed it to him just moving out of the house and getting his own apartment so that his character can grow along with Lucy in the story and so that they can be together.

CHARLIE

"Hey! Charlie let me help you move into your new humble abode. Or are you too man enough to let a little old girl like me help a big macho man like you?" I turn around and see Karen standing there by the door with her hands on her hips. Karen is never standing still. She is always flying across the room doing one thing or another. Truthfully she is a crazy person. But that is what i like about her most. I knew that if i did not let her carry a box or too that she would just do it any way.
"Sure sure Karen just grab that box in the passenger seat in my car would you?" I say. She gives me a big smile then dashes down the stairs to my car. Moving out of the house was one of the hardest things i have had to do in my whole intire life. I know doing it hurt Lucy so much but i had to leave. I felt the weight of the world on my sholders from taking care of her, the house, mom, and everything else. I had to move out, even if i was only 10 minutes away. I felt like i was drowning.
"Here you go where do you want me to put it?" Karen said from the door. I look over at her.
"Over there on the kitchen table" i say. Karen, no matter how crazy she might be, is my best friend. She actually lives in the apartment next to mine. She really is the best though. We have grown up together and have been through thick and thin. She was even here when dad died.
Karen has curly red hair and has freckles all around her cheeks and nose. Though she is a very beautiful girl she is a total tomboy. But that is ok cause it totally fits her personality. She is studying art and sculpting at the college that i am going to. She is a really good painter. I think that she is going to be famous one day, well i hope she is cause that would be great.
"Why are you staring at me?" Karen says. "Is there something on my face?" she runs to the bathroom to look in the mirror. Even though she is a tomboy that doesnt change her mental status as a girl. She totally has a chick brain.
