Last Lover ~ Charlie Lenehan

chapter 20

Allie's POV

* Christmas Eve *

Since I was leaving tomorrow to see Leo, I was celebrating with Bailey tonight.

I got dressed in dark jeggings, a white top, and a green jacket. I curled my hair before putting shoes on and going downstairs.

"Hey Mum. I'm going to go to Bailey's." I said to her. "Okay. Be careful." She said and hugged me. I ran back upstairs and got my bag with gifts and some clothes. I left the house and started going to Bailey's.

Charlie's POV

I took my phone out and texted Leo.

Me- Allie's coming tomorrow?

Leo- how'd you find out?

Me- it's obvious. Why wouldn't she?

Leo- ok. So why do you care?

Me- I wanted to say hi. Just stop by for a bit.
Leo- that's not my decision so you'll have to talk to her.

Me- Leooooo

Leo- if you really want to see her then ask her yourself. Grow a pair.

I sighed and held my phone in my hands.

Allie's POV

As I was walking to Bailey's I got a text.

Charlie- hey. I heard you're coming to town tomorrow.

I groaned and put my phone back in my pocket.

Within a few minutes I was at Bailey's. I knocked on the door and was greeted by Brandon. "Oh my gosh! I can't believe you made it! Come on in girl!" He said in a high-pitched voice. I laughed and walked in. "Where's Bailey at?" I asked. "Upstairs in his room. Be careful up there." He said. I flipped him off and went up the stairs.

I slowly went inside and put my bag down so he didn't notice me. I crept up behind him and wrapped my arms around him. "Well hello there." He said and turned around. "Hi." I said and smiled. "Merry Christmas Eve." He said and kissed me softly. "Merry Christmas Eve." I said once we pulled away.

"Do you want to open your gift now or later?" He asked. "Now!" I said and jumped up and down. He laughed and went to his closet. I took his things out of my bag and sat on his bed. He sat down behind me and put two boxes in front of me.

"You open one first." I said and pushed a bow towards him. "No. You first." He said. "I don't want to argue over a box, so I'll be the mature one and open it." I said and stuck my nose up in the air. He grinned and handed me a box.

I opened it and took all of the bubble wrap away. "SOUR PATCH KIDS!" I said and took a bag out of the box. "And skittles, and nerds, and mountain dew!" I said and kept nosing through the box. "This is the best American thing I've gotten since I've lived in England. Thank you so much. " I said and opened a package. "You're welcome." He smiled and grabbed a box.

"New Air Max's! These are beautiful." He said. I nodded and opened the next box. It was a new fedora and a Lokai bracelet. I put my hat on and smiled at him. He smiled back and took the next box. "Mars Bars! This has to be like £30 worth." He said and opened one. "I noticed your stash was getting low." I said and smiled.

"Well thank you. There's one more for you." He said and reached into a drawer. He took out a small box and handed it to me. I opened it and took out a small silver ring with a heart engraved on it. "Bailey, this is beautiful. It's the one I showed you isn't it." I said and slipped it over my ring finger. "Yeah. I knew you liked it a lot." He said and smiled.

"Thank you." I said and hugged him. "You're welcome. What do you want to do?" He said. "I just want to hang out here." I said. "Okay. I have a hoodie in my closet that you can borrow. I smiled and changed and slipped it on with some leggings.

As Bailey was getting movies I got a text from Charlie.

Charlie- Hey. I need to talk to you so please answer.

"Who is it?" Bailey asked as he sat beside me. "Charlie." I said, "he wants to know if he can come see me at Leo's tomorrow." He nodded and said, "oh. Are you going to answer him or are you still upset about it?"

"I'm not upset, I'm just kind of annoyed. Should I answer him?" I asked. "I guess so, but if you don't want to then it's fine." He said. I nodded and opened the message.

Me- I guess so. Just don't bring your girlfriend.

Charlie- Ok, cool. And her name is Rebecca.

Me- I could care less what her name is.

Charlie- why are you still so mad? It was like 3 months ago.

Me- please just stop. Don't make me change my mind.

Charlie- don't change your mind. I really need to see you Allie.

"Can I see your phone?" Bailey asked. I nodded and handed it to him.

Me- Hey Charlie. It's Bailey. Just leave her alone alright. You know what you did and it's her right to be mad.

Charlie- stay out of this Bailey. It's got nothing to do with you.

Me- Allie again, and he has plenty to do with this. Don't come to see me Charlie. I don't want to deal with that.

   I turned my phone all the way off before I could see his response. Bailey wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled into his side. He didn't say anything and just held me. A few tears slowly dropped and I slowly fell asleep next to him.

A/N

Do you think Allie and Charlie will see each other? And Charlie's kind of being a butt isn't he? Yeah, anger.

But in real life right now...
  (Lets call him W)  I like this guy (he likes me too) and one of my friends knows that I like him and she tried to get him to ask me to this dance but whatever.

   But she found out he was a skater (she longboards) and she started to like talk to him all the time and every thing just because of that. Like I hang out with him everyday in school and we're good friends, and then she decides that she's going to flirt with him just because he skates.

   And she did that with another guy that is my drum buddy. It's like so frustrating though because W and me are really good friends and she knew that I liked him. So now she's like taking him from me and it's making me sad!

Sorry, I had to get that out here because my friends would tell her that I said that probably.
