We'll Never Fall Apart - (Joey Graceffa)

Chapter 12

Charlotte's POV

I open my eyes without even thinking. It's 8:28, right before my alarm was supposed to go off. My body just knows it's time. I turn the alarm off, so it doesn't wake up Mel. I don't feel like getting up, but I need to look presentable. I get up and drag my feet along with the cold carpeted room. I enter the bathroom and take a nice, hot shower. I go out in a towel and quickly snap up my outfit and go back into the bathroom to get changed and do my makeup. I know Mel is sleeping, but I'm still self-conscious. That reminds me that Mel has to get up anyway because she has to braid my hair. I'll do it when I'm ready to go. I change into my outfit and blow dry my hair. I kind of knew that would wake Mel up. I finally finish making my hair dry and stick my head out of the doorway," Melllll......" I make a pouty face and then smile to let her know that she needs to do my hair. She groans and falls back onto the bed. As you can tell, she's not a morning person. As I get together my hairspray and other hair products, I hear Mel struggling to get up in the background, "C'mon, just get up!" I call out.

"I don't wanna!" she whines.

I go over to her and pick up her wrists. I pull her towards me and she falls foward onto the floor. We both start bursting into laughter.

"Well, that woke me up!"

"Can you just please hurry, I have to leave in," the clock says 9:35, "10 minutes!" Holy crap, I'm going to meet up with Joey in 10 minutes, well not exactly, I'm leaving at 9:45 to get there on time. Mel manages to stand up and hobble over to the bathroom, combing her hair with her fingers. I follow over and enter and see that she's all ready to fix my hair up all nice. I sit on the toilet seat, so she has a better view of my hair. She takes a chunk of hair at the front and divides it into three pieces. She starts braiding, constantly picking up new pieces and dropping them. About 5 minutes later, she stands back and looks over her work. She nods and tells me to look and see. "Wow, this is amazing, thanks Mel!"

"I have a special talent," she flips her hair over her shoulder and dramatically exits the bathroom. I laugh and then keep admiring my hair. It's so pretty how's the hair flows in different sections. But sadly, it's not going to be well seen because of this beanie. But like Mel said, I have to look casual. I stare at myself, perfecting every flaw I find. It's now the time where I go and have breakfast with Joey. I probably won't eat a lot because I don't want to look like a pig. I grab my phone and purse with my wallet and such. As I'm about to leave the room, Mel shouts, "Good luck! And don't screw up!" I reply with, "Thanks Mel, that really means a lot!" I finish by closing the door behind me.

Melanie's POV

Charlie leaves the room and all I want to do now is sleep. I'm so excited that Charlie is doing this. I mean, actually doing something with a guy, not weird or anything, just breakfast. Charlie isn't the most secure person, so she really isn't open for new people, you know?. Her idea of a night out would really be night in watching Netflix. She doesn't like going out to clubs or anything like that. For me, I'm like the complete opposite. I will go crazy and have fun. I'm not saying that Charlie can't have fun, but our versions of fun are totally different. I like Netflix and all that, but I'll go out to other places for entertainment, too. Ever since this opportunity came out for Charlie, Vidcon, she's seemed so much happier, like she has a reason to go out and explore new places. She doesn't like doing new things because she doesn't have to. If she has to, she gets all mad. She stays in her shell all the time. If something has to do with YouTube or one of her already existing interests, she's all for it and then vice versa. I think she's only had like one boyfriend in the past, not saying that it's bad, but I think she needs to meet more people. We are the bestest of friends, but she really doesn't have anyone else to depend on. Well obviously, she has her parents and little brother to get help from. Sometimes I kind of feel trapped because Charlie pours all of her problems onto to me and she gets really sad. I feel terrible, but I get worried to do something without her because something will upset her and she needs me for support. I love being her support system, but I want to have my own problems, not somebody else's. Sorry for my long rant, but I needed to get that out of my system. I love her no matter what, but this is all a suggestion for meeting new people, alright? Even though it sounds kind of harsh, it's how I feel inside. Right now, I don't have a boyfriend because I don't want that type of commitment at that moment. I probably will later in life and hopefully Charlie does too.

Charlotte' POV

I'm in my car on my way to the local diner. I can feel my heart beating faster because I don't usually do these type of things. The last time I met up with a guy was probably... ummm.... 6 years ago, when I was 16. He became my boyfriend, but then he dumped me 4 months later. That's the end of my boyfriend list. I probably won't even be Joey's girlfriend because I'm like... ew and he's like... woah, in a good way. It's almost 10 and I don't want to be too early because I don't want to seem eager. Or I don't want to be late because I don't want it to seem like I don't care. I turn right and see that Ruby's Diner, the one that we are meeting at, is right in front of me. I pull into the parking lot and leave my car in a spot near the entrance. I check one of my side mirrors to make sure I look decent, eh, good enough. I hold my phone and slide my purse on my right shoulder. I try to see through the tinted windows to see if he's there already. I don't see him, so I probably have to sit all alone, great. I take a glance over the interior, it's 40's styled and looks really nice. I take a seat in a booth near a window, facing the door to see when he arrives, hopefully. I go on my phone to not seem awkward being at this table alone.

I hear a jingly sound and the door shutting. My eyes flick upwards checking if was him. It was. He looks lost a for split second before he spots me over here. I lay my eyes back on my phone to seem like I didn't notice, even though I was so happy when I saw him. For the moment I saw him, he was wearing a white button up with dark jeans. "Hey, Charlie." He says softly. I can't help but bring a smile upon my face. Yep, my mind had a decision.

HEY! Sorry for the late update. I know I said I would write this chapter immediately, but I had no time to end it properly. That's why I ended it like this. This time I will write the next one, right after this is published because it's the weekend! Put in the comments what you think and thanks for reading! <3 - Lilahxx
