                          Secrets

Chases POV:
Maybe I shouldn't have said all those things- I definitely should not of- that was really personal and I don't think she cares- or what If she thinks im obsessed?? I wouldn't blame her?? I said I was planning our wedding- I sound like an obsessive ex boyfriend- my god- what is wrong with me??

Chase: "listen before you fire me and tell me to leave for being obsessed with you, I just wanna say that isn't me anymore. I'm a different person then I was then. as I told you, I was going through some tough times, I wasn't a very good person. I changed, yeah Il admit I was a little obsessed with you but I'm not anymore-"
Charli: "I wasn't gonna fire you. I think it's cute"

Cute? Really?

Chase: "you do?"
Charli: "yeah, I don't think you were obsessed. You were just in love"

I smiled

Still a little creepy considering I was in love with her for like 5 years but at least
She doesn't think I'm a creepy sociopath.

Charli: "so when's the wedding?"
Chase: "5 days"

Maybe I should have told her earlier

Charli: "what?? 5 days?? That's so soon!"

Yeah I should have told her earlier.

Charli: "do you have anything ready?"
Chase: "yes. Everything's planned. I didn't really do any planning, it was all blaire. But that's okay, It's her day"
Charli: "it's your day too"
Chase: "yeah but I'd rather her enjoy herself more."

Charlis POV:
5 days?! Nobody thought to tell me this?? How am I his brides maid but he has yet to tell me that he tried to kill himself all those years ago? I thought we were close. I want him to be able to tell me anything.

I looked over at him and he was looking at my desk for some reason

Chase: "hey what's this"

Shit shit shit. He isn't supposed to see that.

I grabbed it from his hands

Charli: "it's nothing."
Chase: "those were divorce papers?"

I slowly nodded

Chase: "you're divorcing him?!"

Not exactly.

Chase: "why do you have them-"

What do I say?? I can't tell him yet? He's gonna think I'm crazy.

Charli: "I'm a laywer remember? I have divorce cases"

I'm not telling him why I have divorce papers until he opens up about when he tried killing him self. I know why because blaire told me but I wanted to hear it from him. I thought we were closer than that.

He looked at my desk again

Charli: "can you not look at my stuff?"

He picked up more

Chase: "why do you have more divorce papers"
Charli: "oh my god. Stop touching me stuff"

He looked at them.
I took them from him.

Oh. He can look at these ones

Charli: "these are for the day I divorce Alexander. I sighed them a long time ago. I'm still waiting for the day I can give them to him, I cannot wait for that day"
Chase: "so when is that day?"
Charli: "mmm, like a year"
Chase: "a year?? How are you gonna get through a year of that?"
Charli: "I've already gotten through 4 years. 1 more year isn't gonna do anything."

Chases POV:
I've got a plan. I know she's gonna hate me but I'm doing this for her.
And partly me. I can't watch her do this for another year.

I'm gonna take those divorce papers and drop them off in front of her house.
Eventually whatever his name is, Charlis husband is gonna see them and he might sign them. Charlis signature is already on them so he will know it's real. This plan is terrible but it could work. I know she wants money and stuff but she can take my money. She can live with Blaire and I

Chase: "hey char, can I take the day off?"
Charli: "yeah"
Chase: "thanks"

Ok. First step. Steal the papers.

I sat down at her desk.

Charli: "what are you doing."
Chase: "sitting down"
Charli: "okay?"

She's on to me.

Charli: "I thought you were leaving."
Chase: "I am, could you just get me a coffee?"
Charli: "you're the assistant?"
Chase: "I know but-"
Charli: "yeah okay it's fine. Il get you a coffee"
Chase: "thank you love"

She left

I grabbed the papers and stuffed them in my pocket.

Should I just run away?

Yeah. I'm gonna go. I feel bad, she went to get me a coffee for nothing. Maybe I should stay until she gets bac-

No I gotta leave

I got up and ran away.
I left the building and got in the car.
I quickly drove away.

I arrived at her house and got out of the car.
I walked to the front door and put the papers down. I knocked then I ran away.
I quickly got in the car and drove off.

Hopefully he will see them then sign them. Probably not gonna happen but worth a try.

I drove back to the workplace

Might as well go back to work , I have nothing better to do.

I walked inside and walked up to her office.
I opened the door-

Chase: "sorry-"

Charlis POV:
He needs to learn how to knock. This is the 3rd time hes walked in on me doing...that.

I pushed the guy off of me and walked to the door.
Charli: "damn Chase, why you always cock blocking me"
Chase: "I'm sorry. Go on."
He closed the door.

He ruined it. Now it's awkward.

I opened the door.

Charli: "it's fine Chase. Come in. Why don't you join us"
Chase: "I-"
Charli: "I'm kidding."

I pointed at the guy

Charli: "you, get out."
Trent: "but we didn't even get to do anything"
Charli: "I don't care. Get out"

He rolled his eyes then left.

Charli: "rude"
Chase: "what"
Charli: "I got you a coffee then you just left, also you said you weren't coming back? I thought you were talking the day off?"

He confuses me.

Chase: "I just had to do some things"
Charli: "ok whatever-"

Someone knocked on the door
I walked over and opened it-

Shit.

Alexander: "so you want a divorce now?"

A/n
