Ok enjoy the chapter
Y/n pov:
It has been 2 weeks since we moved into the dorms, and I have hardly seen Charlie.
We are both really busy with school and Charlie is working really hard for the dive team.
Most nights she'll one home from practice and I'll be studying. She just eats dinner and goes to sleep.
I don't mind, I know she needs lots of rest but recently she hasn't even been saying hello to me.
I was staying up late studying one night when Charlie came home. She didn't notice me at first until I spoke up.
"It would be nice if you said hello to me." She hit her head on a shelf and turned around to see me.
"Hey love, I didn't realize you were still up." I looked down at my book and kept reading. "What are you reading?" She looked at my book and smiled.
"This looks very boring." I shoved her away.
"It's not boring if you know what it's talking about." She rolled her eyes and got up to eat.
"Well I have a meet tomorrow and you're coming right?" I flinched and looked away for a second.
"That's tomorrow?" Charlie turned back around and nodded sticking a spoonful of food into her mouth. It always bothers me how she eats everything with a spoon.
"Yea and you said you'd come and meet my team." She took another bite and sat next to me as I scribbled more notes down.
"Yea I'll go, I just might be late because I have a lecture at 3:30." Charlie nodded and held my hand.
"Don't look so nervous, it's just a bunch of divers." She said kissing my hand. I smiled and nodded.
"You're right, I'm not sure why I'm so nervous." I said squeezing her hands. Charlie nodded again before letting go of my hands and getting up.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" She said putting her bowl in the sink. My face dropped a little and I looked back down at my notes.
"Yea I'll see you tomorrow." I said as she walked away.
Charlie pov:
I thought back to that day a practice. Gregg had been bothering me and all my teammates thought we would be cute together. I tried to tell them I'm not interested but I got all flushed so they thought I liked him.
I'm most worried about y/n, Mary has a class with y/n so I wouldn't put it past her to tell y/n about the little chat I had with Gregg.
The next morning
I woke up and sat up, y/n was already awake and reading a book a pencil in her mouth.
"Hey," I said swinging my legs off the bed.
"Morning," she said writing something down. I stood up and walked over to my dresser. I pulled out a suit for the meet and threw on some old tee shirt and jeans. "I'll see you at the meet." She said getting out of bed.
"Yea I'll see you," I said as she closed the bathroom door. I sighed and flopped onto my back. "What the fuck am I doing?" I whispered to myself before getting up. I walked out of the bedroom and grabbed an apple.
I looked back one more time hoping she would say goodbye but she didn't come out of the room. I walked out of the house and made my way to my lecture before the meet.
Y/n pov:
I sat on the floor of my bathroom with the blade in my hand. I knew Charlie was talking to some guy on her dive team, but I never thought that I would end up here because of it.
We have been hiding it from everyone, but we had agreed on just turning other people down. I never wanted to hide it, but outside of our small town, people don't really accept us.
I sighed and pressed the sharp side of the blade on my thigh when the doorknob rattled. I jumped and hid it under the cabinet. The door opened and Charlie was on the other side.
"What are you doing?" She said panting. I stammered and she saw the alcohol wipe next to me. "Y/n what are you doing?" She said kneeling next to me.
"I- I'm," tears started to well in my eyes. "You and that guy on your team." I sobbed, Charlie hugged me and held the back of my head.
"It's ok baby, I told him off. He's not going to bother me anymore." I looked up at her and sniffed.
"Are you sure?" I said wiping my nose, Charlie nodded and reached under the cabinet.
"I'm sure." She slid something into her pocket and got up. "I really have to go to my lecture." She kissed me and left the bathroom, I looked down at my lap ashamed at what I was about to do.
"Oh by the way, I'm really sorry for how I've been treating you. But god this is hard." She scratched the back of her neck. "But I, I love you."
Ok the end.
Sorry for any grammar mistakes I was writing this at school
I'll try to update soon so yea bye.
Have a lovely day
