The end of an era

Charlis POV:
Before I left for rehab I decided I'd get out of here. There's nothing left for me in California. I always wanted to leave but I wanted Chase more so I stayed. But when he left me, I decided there was no other reason for me to stay.

I looked online and went through my choices. Where would I go first, what do I want to do with the rest of my life. And I got it, I wanted to be a fashion designer obviously. And where's the best place for fashion? Paris. I know a little French. So I went online and found the cheapest place I could. I made a lot of clothes mostly wedding dresses because I could sell them for a lot of money.

Once I sold them I made a plan. I wanted to get better. I wanted to get over my addiction that I ignored for so long and then I'd get out of here.

I needed a fresh start and that's how I'd do it. Once my sponsor offered to pay for it, I knew this is what I'd have to do.

I went to rehab in this shit place and it was hell. Absolute hell. But it helped.
I'm okay now.

I'm pretty lucky, my drug addiction isn't as bad as some of the other people there. I use drugs as a coping mechanism, while they use it for everything. For me, when I take drugs it doesn't trigger me to have more. If I were to have Coke right now, I wouldn't be tempted to have more. That's not how it works for me. I'm only tempted to have more when I'm in pain and I feel like I have no other options.

I also recently found out that Hayley wasn't lying. She wasn't the one who told Chase. It really was Delilah.  And Why? Because my parents found out my kid was dead and they told Delilah. And the only reason Delilah was hiding it from chase was because she though he already had another kid to take care of. So when she found out he didn't, she stole him.

He opened the car door and stepped out of the car

Chase: "Charli. No. You're not leaving."

Not his choice

Chase: "clearly that rehab messed your head"
He laughed

Chase: "you're not going anywhere. You're not in the right mind to
make choices like that"

Yes I am??

Chase: "You're not leaving. You're not."
He laughed awkwardly

Charli: "yes I am"
Chase: "you can't leave."

Well I am.

Charli: "I am leaving"
Chase: "don't leave"

I sighed

I feel bad. I do. But I can't feel bad for him. He had his choice.

Chase: "please don't leave me"
Tears formed in his eyes

Charli: "We're broken up already. We haven't seen each other in months. I can't stay for you."

He's not enough anymore. He was. But not anymore.

Chase: "so that's is. After everything we've been through. After I picked you, I stayed with you till you beat cancer, we moved in together, we lost our kid, Charli. After every fight we had to stay together. You're leaving?"

Oh he can not be that selfish

Charli: "You left me way before I chose to leave. You left. You didn't say all this before? Now it's too late. There's nothing we can do to fix us. I'm sorry. But I'm leaving."
