Maybe indeed electromagnetic charges curves space time as well, is there a theory for that?
According to general relativity, in absence of forces, an object follow a geodesic in space-time. Which we approximate to an uniform motion in straight line for high school physics. But masses "curve" the space time, so there are no straight line.
If there was no intramolecular forces to keep the apple on the tree, it would follow a geodesic that would make it fall towards earth.
The same way that if the seat was not applying a force to my back, I would be pushed backwards in an accelerating car.

A description of electricity as a curvature of a fifth dimension. https://en.m.wikipedia.org https://en.m.wikipedia.org /wiki/Kaluza%E2%80%93Klein_theory If I recall correctly, the description of charged matter is somewhat problematic.
