Blinded. (Sequel to invisible) A Fifth Harmony fanfiction.

Chapter 12

Charlotte sighed when she arrived at the shady Motel. It was the closest thing to the airport that was cheap and didn't look like creepy men would accidently stumble into her room. It wasn't too shady in reality, it was actually a cute little thing but it wasn't much like the grand hotel's she had stayed in with the girls, it was affordable though a little run down, but it wasn't exactly in a happy place of L.A.

She slowly walked up the the reception and rang the bell. A few minutes later an elderly lady with thick glasses that were too big for her head who was short than Ally came waddling out of the door and towards Charlotte. "Sorry deary." She greeted kindly. She smelt of cigarettes which probably would explain her extremely hoarse voice and yellow teeth. "How can I help?"

"I'd like a room please?" Charlotte asked softly. The old lady didn't seem to blink twice and immediately handed her a room key. "That's 60$ please." She asked. Charlotte fished the money out of her pocket and handed it to the lady before thanking her and taking her bike to her room. It was on the ground floor, making it easier to place her bike in her room so no one could steal it. Once inside she locked the door and looked around. It was decent at least. She had a window with curtains, a double bed, T.V and bathroom. Charlotte placed her bicycle against the wall before kicking off her shoes and dropping her bag on the bed. The feeling of the weight off her shoulder made her sigh in relief as she walked over to her window to draw the curtains and turn the T.V onto cartoons. She sat on her bed and grabbed her mobile. She had turned it off so she didn't have to worry about Lauren tracing it. This may now be a little dramatic but she didn't care, at least not right now and she still couldn't decipher who she was mad at, Taylor or Lauren or everyone else for remaining silent and letting it get to the point it got to.

Charlotte sighed deeply. Now she had stopped moving her legs were beginning to ache from the long hours of cycling she had just endured. She looked around the room to see there was a phone by the bed, it was only about half 9 so she knew her Aunt would be up, so she quickly reached across and grabbed the phone after she had fished out the card with her number from her bag. Two rings after, her Aunt picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi, it's Charlotte." Charlotte introduced. "Charlotte! I never knew you were going to call so soon!" She said excitedly, "Is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine. I was wondering...If it wasn't to soon, if I could come visit you?"

"Charlotte sweetie if I had a choice you'd be on a plane by now." Her Aunt chuckled. Charlotte beamed. "Well, what if I flew out tomorrow?"

Her Aunt coughed slightly. "Excuse me? Did I hear you correctly?" Madison asked. Charlotte chuckled. "Yes you did. Is that too soon?"

The line was silent for a moment. "Charlotte, can I speak to Lauren?"

Her heart dropped. What was she meant to do now?

"Charlotte? Where are you?" Madison urged.

"You promise you won't be mad?" Madison sighed at her nieces words, "I'll be as understanding as I can okay?" Charlotte knew that she couldn't ask for more. So she grumbled an okay into the phone. "Me and Lauren had a fight and in result...I've kinda, sorta ran away."

"CHARLOTTE MAE!" Her Aunt scolded. "Where are you? Please tell me you're in a hotel or something." Her Aunt begged. "I'm fine, I'm in a Motel and the doors and locked. I'm safe I promise." Charlotte quickly added, not wanting to stress her pregnant aunt. Madison sighed. "Charlotte...Will you tell me what happened?"

"Well, it's a long story..."

In my head, I would of expected someone would of said something, anything by now. But everyone was just sat in silence. I didn't want to look up, I really really didn't want to. I didn't want to see how disappointed they were in me for calling Madison, especially Lauren, but once I looked up I saw that everyone was smiling lightly at me."Aren't you all mad at me?" I asked.
