Charlotte could tell whatever had happened to Astrid had not been nice, it went to show how much she knew people.  She wouldnt know if they were good or bad.  She winced slightly as she felt the girl apply the cream, the welts smarting, "I hope whatever she does it isnt another beating.  I really hated it" she did feel for Zach, but she didnt mention anythign else about him.  She would speak to him soon.<br/><br/>When Astrid finished Charlotte smiled at her, "thank you Astrid for this, I needed someone to be here" she hugged her briefly, "If you eve need me, just say I'll help you if I can" she offered, the best thing to do was to put the night behind them and try to sleep.  She was afraid what tomorrow might bring.
