Fanfiction [Charlie Gillespie]

"LANEY!" I screamed from my room. "GET IN HERE!"

"What's wrong? Who's dying?" She asks running into my room.

"Charlie just dmed me," I say with a panicked look on my face.

"Charlie? Like the Charlie?" She asked sitting on my bed.

"Yes. I just got a notification saying that he wants to send me a message. Why would he be dming me?" I asked genuinely confused.

"Open it, you idiot!" She exclaims as I open Instagram once again.

I scroll to my dms and just enough, his name was there in my requests. My finger hovered over the message, scared of what he said. Why was I so nervous about someone I've never met, dming me? 

"Just open it already," She said, annoyed.

I click the message and my eyes go wide once again. 

"A little birdie told me about the book you're writing. Would love to read it," I read out loud.

"This is crazy! He knows about your book!" Laney said jumping up and down.

"This is so embarrassing," I say putting my hands over my face.

"Beckett, this is huge. Your celebrity crush knows you exist and that you wrote a book about him. Why aren't you excited at all?"

"What I've written about is kind of cringe and embarrassing," I sigh. "Wait there's another message,"

"Well read it dumbass!"

"Shut up," I say before looking back at my phone. "Beckett, what a pretty name for a pretty girl,"

I felt like my eyes were about to pop out of my head by how wide they were getting.

"He just called you pretty," Laney whispered. "You better respond!"

"What would I even say? He probably says that to a lot of his fans,"

"But, he said it to you! He knows about your book. He wouldn't have mentioned it if it didn't mean something," She said grabbing my phone from me.

"What are you doing?" I ask as I chase her around our apartment.

"I'm going to respond since someone is too chicken to do it," She said standing on the table so I can't reach her.

"Please don't say anything embarrassing," I sigh in defeat.

"Mr. Gillespie, this is quite embarrassing. I wrote that book as a fun way to get me through college, not knowing you would ever find it. If you do read it, you will most likely cringe. So I highly advise that you don't. As for my name, it is not that pretty if you think about it," She said as she typed it.

"Hey! That's mean," I pout.

"it's the truth, honey," She said sticking her tongue out at me. "And sent,"

"Wow, you actually did it," I said sitting down on the couch.

She handed me back my phone as another notification popped up.

"He responded!" I say excitedly.

"Holy shit, that was fast," Laney said flopping down next to me.

"I don't even want to open it," I say, once again covering my face.

"I wish you'd stop being so scared of everything," She said snatching the phone from my lap.

I look at her, scared of what he had said. Her eyes then went wide, making my heartbeat even fast than it already was.
