First love is always the most unexpected and, most often, painful. Charles was worse, he was your first teenage crush. You were too young when Charles took over all your thoughts and feelings when he joined the van der Linde gang. It was wrong, of course it was wrong, and that’s why when you just confessed to him, he gently rejected you. You were like a funny little sister to him, whom he loved unconditionally and cared for, but nothing more. It hurt, but nothing can be done about it

And time passed, turning you from a duckling into a swan. You are now a grown girl, beautiful as spring. And you never stopped loving him, even though there was a gap between you. Because of the tangible distance he kept, you did not notice his behavior, his views.

Charles cared for you as before, but now more...more carefully. You didn't know it, but he was unconsciously jealous of you and tried to protect you from other men. He still considered you too young, rejecting your feelings, but he did not notice how he fell in love with you...

For example, like now: this evening Hosea brought a whole box of alcohol and the whole gang threw a small party about it. You took your bottle and stood aside from the general fun. Before this, you had a nice conversation with Arthur, but now he has disappeared somewhere. So you enjoy watching the other gang members having fun
