All Alone (Aston Merrygold)

Hopefully

Charlotte's POV

"Hey, shall we go to the park?" I asked, eagerly.

"Yeah, that's a good idea." Dianna said.

"Race ya!" I said, walking quicker and starting to run when Brad and Dianna started to run. We got to the park and sat on the grass. "I won."

"I want a re-match." Brad moaned.

"Well, your not going to get one." I said, trying to flirt. He did his cheeky grin again and we sat and chatted for a minute when the dreaded question was asked.

"How did you and Ast break up?" Brad asked.

"Ah... urr... it's a long story and I'd rather not talk about it. Lets just say 'I'm single and Ast has a girlfriend' and leave it at that." I said, a little annoyed.

"Ok, enough said." Brad grumbled and looked down.

"So..." Dianna said, kind of awkwardly.

"Charlie, can I ask you something?" This is it, hopefully, Brad is going to ask me out. "Will you be my girlfriend? If you want."

"Yes!" I pretended to act excited, I was excited, to, hopefully, get Aston back. He leaned in and kissed me. It was an ok kiss but I longed for Aston's kisses. I pulled away and got my phone out.

"What are you doing?" Brad asked, suspiciously.

"Texting. What does it look like?" I texted Aston.

To Aston😔: Hey Ast. Happy for you and Sarah. Just letting you know that we should go in a double date. Wouldn't that be fun. Text me when you get this.

I slid my phone back in my pocket and got up. As soon as I stood up, my phone went off. "It goes off at the most annoying times." I sighed.

From Aston😔: Ok. Tonight? Wait, who's your date? xx

To Aston😔: You remember Brad? We are together. Great, tonight. Nando's?

From Aston😔: Oh, ok. Nando's... you know me well. See you at 6 at Nando's. Cya xx

"Who are you texting?" Brad asked as he hugged me from the side.

"Aston. We have a double date tonight at 6 at Nando's." I replied, quickly as Brad put an arm around my waist. He actually wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting Brad to be constantly kissing me and touching my butt and stuff but he was ok.

"Great! I love Nando's." he said, excitedly. I kissed his cheek and we got up to go back to mine.

"Right. Go home and get dressed and come and pick me up at half 5 and then we will leave." I said to Brad.

"Ok but first I need to know. Do you still love Aston?" he asked firmly.

"No." I said, quickly, which gave away the fact I was lying.

"Wrong answer!" He shouted and grabbed my arms, pushing me to the floor. "Aston is an idiot. After high school he completely forgot about me. Going off with you with you and his little 'JLS' buddies."

"Don't talk about Aston and the JLS boys like that. They were there for me when I had no one." I screamed.

"Well, where are they now?" He laughed, evilly.

Aston's POV

"It's half 6. Where are they?" I huffed.

"Ast, they might be in traffic." Sarah said, taking my hand in hers.

"I'm sure one of them would've texted me." Suddenly, I got a text.

From Charlie☀️: Help!

I looked at the text shocked. "Sarah, we need to go to Charlie's flat, now!" I said, sternly. She just nodded her head.

We arrived at her flat and I knocked on the door. "Aston?" I heard faintly and then I opened the door to see Charlie, bruised, laying on the floor.

"Charlie... What happened?" I said, nearly in tears.

"Brad found out that I still loved you."
