Accidental Love

Chapter 28

Charlott'es POV

Surprisingly I didn't cry as I drove home, I went to feel my cheeks and I found them completely dry. But just because I wasn't crying doesn't mean that I'm absolutly crushed at what just occured minutes ago.

It wasn't just Liam's fault, it was also my fault. Graduation is almost coming, and Liam and I have been dreaming about this day since we were little kids. It could have been a lot different, but apparently I just had to say the words "I'll be your fake girlfriend." Didn't expect that sentence to have such a big impact on my life.

It was stupid from day one, but the only good outcome is that I found out I had feelings for him, for Liam. But that's also a bad outcome, because looked what happen. He kisses me then leaves me in the rain for some girl who sounds like a damn chipmunk with a stick up her ass.

Cody doesn't deserve him, she's far to needy and ungrateful to him, and I always saw that but he just looks past it because he loves her so much, and it's driving me off the edge to point where I want to scream.

I'm not saying that I'm any better, but I just think that he deserves better, even if it isn't me. 

As I pulled into my driveway, I saw that my mom's car was in the driveway. I was about to walk into my garage, but something caught my eye.

My gaze focused on my mom's car, my eyebrows furrowed as I spotted a large crack on the windshield, my eyes went wide as I quickly unlocked the door and didn't hesitate another second.

"Mom!?" I shouted, but no response.

"Mom?!  Where are you?" I checked the kitchen and the living room but she wasn't there. My heart started to beat faster as I ran upstairs.

I felt a wave of relief when I found her in her bathroom, but what made my confused is that she was on the floor curled up into a ball, hugging her knees to her chest.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" I asked, my voice sounding frantic.

She looked up at me and I saw that her eyes were red and bloodshot from crying, and also puffy. She couldn't form a coherant sentence as she tried to speak to me.

"Deep breaths mom"

She listened to my advice and started to calm down a bit. I decided to take a seat next to her on the cold tiled bathroom floor.

I moved a piece of hair that was sticking to her forehead out of her face because of the sweat on her, "What happened?" My voice was gentle.

She shook her head, "You're going to be so disappointed in me Charlotte."  Her soft voice made me shrink because of how fragile she was.

I shook my head, "No I'm not, whatever it was we can get through it."

She took a deep breathe uncurling from her position, "When I went to go out to the bars those nights, and let me reassure you that I will never do it again, I got into a situation with..with a man."

My heart started to beat faster.

She started to cry again,"I-I started to like him, I did. But then I realized I only felt attracted to him when I was drunk out of my mind. I did everything he wanted me to do, I wasn't thinking because I couldn't think with all the alcohol. I had no idea he was using me for money, promising these random guys things that I would never dream of doing.."

I couldn't help but ask, "Like-like what?"

"Charlo-"

"No, I want to know"

She took a deep breath, closing her eyes before re-opening them, "He promised them sex, he promised that I would be at that bar every night, he even promised them that they could even take me home any time they want. I guess he spiked my drink every night because when I woke up I wouldn't remember anything. Luckily, I haven't done anything he has promised, at least I don't think I have"
