Charlie Gillespie Imagines

brother's best friend

"Y/N, come on Charlie is here we don't wanna be late!" Your older brother Cole yelled up the stairs to you in your room putting the finishing touches on your makeup.

"I'm coming, chill." You say collecting your things and heading down the stairs to find your brother waiting there for you at the front door.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Wouldn't wanna be late now would we?" You say taking the apple out of his hands and walking out towards Charlie's car.  You open up the passenger's side door and hop in before your brother could beat you to it.

"What's up squirt?" Charlie asks, ruffling your hair around as you groan pushing his hand away and fixing your hair as your brother finally made it over to his car.

"Do you know how long it takes to tame this mane in the morning Charles? Keep your hands out of it." You say as your brother and Charlie just laugh it off as you headed in the direction of the school.

"Oh, I'm going to Lucy's house after school so Y/N, you're gonna have to find a ride home." Cole said. Lucy was his girlfriend for almost a year. You roll your eyes and hear Charlie lightly scoff. Neither one of you were the biggest fans of hers. She was just there to hook up with Cole.

"Okay, guess that means I'm walking then." You say pulling out your backpack and trying to see if you packed your headphones.

"Uh, no you aren't. I can take you home." Charlie said and you sent him a grateful smile.

"Fine, but I swear dude no hands on my sister. Off limits." Cole said making you roll your eyes yet again.

"Chill, I'm just taking her home from school. I don't even like her like that, gross." Charlie said, pulling into a parking spot. Well, ouch.

You had to admit it. You kinda liked Charlie. You've known each other since you were both really young. He was always around. He was always there. But it was forbidden, and you just got your answer he didn't like you either way. You grabbed your bag and quickly got out of the car and walked a bit fast so you could be far away from them. You couldn't reveal your feelings for him definitely not now.

"Hey, Y/N! Wait up." You heard Charlie call making you stop in your tracks and sigh. He caught up to you and slung his arm around your shoulder.

"What's wrong?" He asked, sometimes you hated that Charlie was always around because whether you liked it or not he knew everything. You put on your best fake face and respond.

"Nothing, why would you think that?" You say as the two of you walked into the building together.

"You got out of the car awfully quick. Did my driving offend you?" He jokes making you crack a smile.

"Yup, there's that smile. Now I'll see you after school squirt. If you need me you know where to find me." He said squeezing your shoulders and walking in the opposite direction that you were going in. When he did things like that he was hard for you to not fall for him. He knew how to make you happy, how to turn every bad day into a good one. He knew you.

You couldn't help but still hold the smile on your face. Your mood immediately dropped when you came face to face with the giant poster with the words 'PROM' lettered on it. Ugh, prom. You hated this time of year, no one ever asked you. You either stayed home or Cole would make you tag along with him and Lucy.

"Prom again huh." You heard your best friend Amalia say as she stood next to you.

"Yup, another year of dreaming of going and actually having a date." You say. Amalia and you became friends a short couple of months ago and you are so grateful to have her. Without her you wouldn't have someone to help you deal with all the Charlie drama
