Charlie's POV
"Zayn? Hey! How was your trip?" I go over to hug him and he hugs back and smiles down on me.
"It was awesome. Seeing Perrie in person for the first time in five months. I didn't even realize how much I missed her until I got there," Zayn chuckles.
I am literally in love with their love.
"Well you should have said something before you left! It's been ages since I've seen you!"
"I know I know. What's been happening?" He asks and takes a seat on the blue chair outside the door.
"A lot has happened.." I sigh.
I want to tell him about what's been happening between me and Louis. I need to tell somebody just for a release. But, for some reason, Louis forbids the boys to know.
"Like what?"
"Well.. I basically live with you guys now," I give him a big cheesy smile and his eyes grow wide.
"Really? How did that happen?"
"Long story actually. So long story short, me and my dad got into an argument and Louis invited me to stay here," I explain.
"Louis invited you to stay? He has to be getting something out of it."
"Yeah but what makes you say that?" I question.
"Louis can't stay with a girl past one night. Let alone live with one. There has to be a reason he wants you here, are you two a thing?"
"No, me and Louis are not together," I confirm.
"He has gotten nothing out of you being here?" Zayn raises an eyebrow at me.
"Besides getting yelled at, Louis has gotten nothing since I've been here," I lie.
I don't want to talk about me and Louis' moment this morning. It is so embarrassing to admit that Louis actually has gotten something do to my stupidity.
"Alright," Zayn sighs "well I'm going to let you go to wherever you were going. Have fun, be back by ten," Zayn teases and I roll my eyes and giggle at him before waving and walking away.
It is a beautiful evening. I look at the clock and it is 8:15pm. I'll walk around to clear my head for about half an hour and then head back to the boys' place.
"Charlie," I hear someone else call. I know that voice anywhere.
Louis.
I keep walking as if he isn't there. The sound of his footsteps speeds up as do mine. But, I discover he's quicker than me so he catches up.
"Charlie, listen to me, please," he begs.
"Okay Louis. What is it now?" I huff in frustration.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
What the hell does he think is wrong?
"Nothing.." I lie.
"I can't fix the problem without knowing what I'm fixing."
"Even if you knew, you still wouldn't know how to fix it."
"I'll fix anything if you'll stop being mad at me," he looks deep into my eyes and steps closer to me.
"You don't give a shit about my anger, Louis."
"Oh yeah, I don't. That's why I'm standing here trying to figure out what's wrong because I just don't give a shit," Louis rolls his eyes.
"You are not in the position to be a smart ass right now."
"I always am," he winks.
"Move out of my way, Louis," I push him out of my way and he just walks back in front of me, ignoring my demands.
"Charlie, just tell me what's wrong. I really want to know," he begs.
"..you."
"Me what?"
"You are just a disaster. I am a disaster. We are a disaster. You don't know what you want, I don't know what to do about it, and that is what messes everything up. This morning was a big experience for me and I thought it would change us. I wanted us to change so bad that I gave up something huge. And we are still this messed up duo," I confess, water brimming my eyes.
"We did change, Charlie.."
"No we haven't, Louis. You still want me to be your secret."
Louis doesn't say anything. A tear drizzles down my cheek and I look down at the ground because how he is staring at me with no explanation isn't helping.
"I want you, Charlie. I know for sure that I want you now. And I will prove it to you."
Louis grabs my hand and walks me back to the house. I don't have the energy to pull away so I just go along with it.
Once the front door opens, I see Harry, Niall, and Liam sitting in the livingroom. Where did Zayn go? Louis releases my hand and my heart drops. How the hell is this proving anything besides my point?
"I want to share something with everyone.." Louis announces.
Everyone looks up at Louis and Louis looks at me. He stares at me for a minute while the room sits in silence as if he is trying to figure something out.
"I am in love with Charlie." He confesses, his gaze not leaving mine.
