Chapter 36 // how ?

Heya :) thanks for taking the time to read this . it means literally a lot !

This is it . The last day Im spending in London . I miss Reece . I miss Reece so much . i dont know , but I do know he left me with no company but my broken heart . But the love and care we gave each other was priceless . I just gave my whole world to him and he just threw it away . I feel so empty like , I'm breathing and drowning at the same time. This morning , ' The Gossip Magazine ' came up with this dumb article about me and Charlie .... ' Stealing Erin away from his best band mate' that's the tag line they got .All this ideas from the premiere yesterday and Dee's and Casey's .... well I don't think Dee is going to be very happy with it. It was horrible . But I didn't mind . I didn't care .It's fine , because after all it's , ' the gossip magazine ' . They always try to find dirt to make the article worth buying for .But the fans are creating ship names , ' Charin ' and ' Caseyana ' .

Once again , I'm fine with all of this because me and Charlie are clear that we're nothing more , nothing less , best friends . Sometimes I do think I'm denying the fact that I have the butterflies whenever Charlie smiles. Chris and Dee has been trying to make me admit it . I do not know what they want , but they're just weird .In the best way possible .It's simply complicated , only , I , understand what's happening . Whenever I make it clear to Charlie that we're best mates he will protest it and say we're more than that . I look at him confused and I'll also start to tense up . Afterwards , he'll say ' just joking ' and all sorts of dumb cover lines whenever I show him puzzled expressions .But I just don't want to admit I love Charlie . How if he doesn't feel the same way ? That's the problem .So I do love him . Wait . Nevermind .

Anyways , Britt texted me that prom season is coming soon . Well, she doesn't know that I'm leaving . So , I'm Sooo not looking forward to prom at all .

Now I got to open my presents the lads gave me after this whole chaotic Dee got me a pair of high cut black converse which I love !! Reece gave me a card which said ' happy birthday! ' , not surprising , but I appreciate it. Jake gave me a pair of beads , Chris gave me a teddy bear , Barclay gave me a one direction album , Casey gave me the whole collection of Divergent books , James bought me a H&M gift card and Tom gave me guitar accessories . Lastly, Charlie gave me the most wanted thing ever !! He bought me the Channel hand phone sling case !!! Omg !! How did he know ?

To : Charlie 🙈
OHMIGOD !! Thank you for the phone case !!!

From : Charlie 🙈

To : Charlie 🙈
Thank you xx

Afterwards , me and Dee went out for breakfast . We were too tired to cook . Dee drove to Mac Donald's and we got our breakfast .
" I'm going to miss you , " Dee stated after taking a sip of her coffee . " I know , I'm gonna miss you so much too , " I smiled weakly . " Why do you have to go ? " She questioned , eventhough she knew the answer . " You know . This whole living in London wasn't suppose to happen . Reece and I wouldn't - " Not finishing my sentence. "Forget Reece already ! Charlie , you should bother about . I don't get you , " She rolled her eyes but continued eating afterwards . I would have argued , but I couldn't . Something interrupted .

- WHATSAPP -

From : Britt 🎀

* Britt , Offline *

I perched my head up and saw Dee glimpsing at what I was doing . " Dee ? " She hummed in reply . " I gotta go , " I told her. "Why ? " She questioned . " Ummm... I'll ask Charlie to follow me , " I smiled sheepishly . She nodded understandingly . " Okay , as long as you're with Charlie i'm fine . You're going to be okay ? " Grabbing my hand before I could leave . " Yea . Don't worry . Thanks Dee ! "I held her hand tightly before leaving .I needed Charlie .

- Charlie's POV -
I didn't know why Erin needed me to take her to Reece 's . But I had to be there for her .She's my everything . We are in the tube on the way to Reece's right now . " Why did you need to go to Reece's again ? " Gazing at Erin who has her eyes on the dirty tube floor . She darted her head towards me and smiled weakly . " I just want to go , " She obviously lied . I smirked as I place my hand under her chin . " I know , there's more . Now , tell me . Please ,"letting go of her chin . She sighed as she reluctantly took her phone out of her pocket . She showed it to me after a few seconds fiddling with it . I nodded reassuringly and I took her phone .

Britt ? No way ! That's the girl that was with Reece in the hospital ! The one that Reece cheated on Erin for ! " Erin ! " I said too loudly. She took her phone back and payed attention to me staring straight into my eyes .
