Our Love (1D Fanfic)

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

We got to the hotel safely. Well, I'm not so sure about Harry. He was staying at another hotel with Reece. Hopefully, nothing horrible or nothing happens to him or to both of them. I wouldn't want to see Harry looking absolutely messed-up during rehearsals. 

But this wasn't the least of my worries. I was thinking of something else. My kiss with Josh. Ugh, I don't know why but when it happened I felt so happy. I felt like trusting someone wasn't that bad after all. But now, it's a totally different feeling.

Instead of the happiness continuing, it ended up being confusion and worry, all in one.

My phone rang and immediately answered it. It was my mom. I haven't heard from her for a month now. She usually calls when there are emergencies or to greet me happy birthday. I do the same thing. Right after college, I left the house and decided to be on my own.

"Hey mom." I greeted. "Hello Charlotte. I've been hearing a lot about you." "Yeah, well, I'm global now. Nothing I can do about it." I told her, trying my best to cut the convo short. You see, I never liked talking for a long time on the phone, knowing if it was somethig I already knew.

"You're with Niall, huh?"

"And his bandmates," I added.

"Isn't awkward?" "Nope. I barely talk with him." I was begininning to be curious on how she knew this. Was she stalking them on tumblr and twitter and owned a secret One Direction account where everyone thought she was a 16 year old girl, but actually she's a 40 year old mother of the pianist?

That was long, sorry. I decided to cut it short and asked her, "How'd you find out?" "...." Silence. "Mom?" Quiet room.

".... His mom told me," "Maura? You still talk with her?" I was shocked. After Niall and I had parted ways, I assumed my mother and his also did. But clearly I was wrong. "Not as close as before but we stay in touch." "Hmm, okay. Is that all you wanted to say or?"

"Actually, I need you to do me a favor. That's actually the main reason I called,"

"What is it?" I asked. "Well, Maura's planning to surprise Niall while you stay there and I was hoping you could ask someone to bring her to the hotel or something." "Oh. I don't know mom... Today we kind of had a big issue so I don't think it's a good time." "Aw, but she's been waiting for this to happen for about a few months now! Don't let me turn her down. I'd hate to hear the pain in her voice." She was right.

If my mom told Maura she couldn't come, then all she's spent would be wasted. Plane tickets, places to go to with Niall and catch up and many more. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to squeeze in a little.

"Sure, I'll just ask our manager if he can do something about it. I'll call you soon, okay?" "Thank you honey. I love you." "Thanks mom, and bye." I never said 'I love you too' back. It was too much for me. I loved my mother very much, and she knows that. I didn't need 4 words to tell her that, but I try to show it to her.

I hung up the phone and walked out to my hotel room. As I walked to Paul's room, I bumped into someone.

"Oops, sorry." A boy's voice apologized. I didn't see how he looked like since I was too focused on the item that I, or, both of us dropped. I picked it up and handed it to him.

"Easy, mate. It's fine." I smiled at him. He looked oddly and quite familiar to me. Maybe he was some clerk I had seen from a shop before or some guy I saw at a game.

I walked off and continued on my way until he shouted.

"Excuse me?" I looked back. We were only a few inches away from each other, so I didn't need to move closer. But certainly, he did cutting the small gap.

"I didn't steal anything from you, I swear." "Haha, you're funny." His laugh was recognizable too. And then, a dash of events occured on my head.

"Th- thank you." He continued staring at me. "I should get going, bye." I faced back and tried walking away from him until he pulled my arm.

"Charlotte, is that you?" I tried to hide away the pain and emotion I felt. I swallowed a gulp and turned facing the face that's been haunting me for 2 years.

"Yup. Surprised, Trevor?" I was.
