Ch. 22

"So what are you doing tomorrow? Hanging out with the guys again?" Daniela asked after a few minutes of the girls silently eating.

"Maybe. Michael invited me to hang out with them in the studio while they record a few things for their new EP, but I don't know if I'm gonna go. I need to go and see Chris and apologize to him for everything," Charlotte explained.

"Don't worry about him. Go have fun with your friends."

Charlotte laughed, "Just half an hour ago you would've almost murdered me if I mentioned seeing them again."

"Things change," Dani shrugged, making Charlotte laugh again.

"But if you'd like to join me, I can call Michael and see if it'd be okay for you to come," Charlotte offered, throwing her pizza crust into the box.

"Well, I'm going to assume you told them everything about Chris and I, and they probably all hate me," Dani said sadly.

"Come on, they don't know you well enough to hate you. Do you want to come or not?" Charlotte asked again, pulling Michael's contact up on her phone.

"Sure," Daniela said.

After a few rings, Michael answered his phone. "Did you really miss me so much in the hour we've been apart that you just had to call and hear my voice?"

Charlotte roller her eyes, smiling slightly. "If that makes you happy, then sure. Listen, I need to ask a small favor."

"You've asked a lot of 'small favors' in the past two days, Char," he retorted, and Charlotte could practically hear the smirk that was on his face.

"Yeah yeah, I know, and I owe you. But can Dani maybe join me tomorrow if I decide to come into the studio and hang out for a while?" she asked, picking at the mint green nail polish on her fingers.

"Did you guys, like, magically make up or something?"

"Well, after I told her the story of the accident, she was cool about everything."

"And Christian?"

"Haven't spoken to him. But he knows the story. Daniela said he was just jealous; pretty much the same thing Cal said."

"That he's in love with you?"

"According to Daniela, he told her that he's in love with me, and so I assume that he's afraid that I'm going to fall in love with one of you guys instead of him, which is absolutely crazy. I could never fall in love with one of you dorks. Well, I doubt I'd ever fall in love with Christian either, but... Sorry, I'm rambling," Charlotte said, chuckling awkwardly, making Michael laugh on the other end.

"You can't control who you fall in love with, and don't knock anything until you try it," Michael said.

"Okay, Confucius," Charlotte giggled, laying down on the couch and spreading her legs to the other arm, as she had the whole thing to herself since Daniela retreated to her bedroom.

"What?" Michael asked, laughing.

"Never mind. So can Daniela come or not?"

"Um, ye- wait. She's a fan, isn't she?" the green-eyed boy asked.

"Yeah, a huge one. I'm surprised she kept her cool the whole time we were with you guys last night," Charlotte replied. "Is that a problem?"

"Yeah... She can't come. Sorry. Look, I gotta go, bye Char," Michael rushed. He was quick to hang up, as Charlotte heard a flat dial tone before she got the chance to say goodbye.
