I pushed through a few girls and pulled Matt out of the barrier and jumped on him, wrapping my legs around his waist.

"Hey Charlie!"

"What are you doing here?!" I said, a large smile on my face.

"I couldn't wait a whole other month for you to come to Texas. I had to see you."

"So you flew to Georgia?! How'd you even get tickets?"

"I didn't really see the concert... I just camped out." He shrugged. I gave him another big hug.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too, Chocolate."

"Whatever, vanilla." I rolled my eyes.

"Whoa." He leaned closer.

'What?"

"Your eyes." He took hold of my chin and my eyes met his. His blonde hair swooped over his forehead perfectly and his brown eyes were glittery. "Can we talk in silence, for a minute?" He asked.

I looked back at Paul. "Be right back, I promise!" I shouted. He looked over and eyed Matt, then nodded. Matt took my hand and brought me around to the front of the theater. It was a cloudy night, and there weren't very many street lights, so everything was pretty dark.

"I-I'm gonna kiss you." He put his hand at my neck and leaned down. He lightly pressed his lips to mine, but there was nothing, like I expected. Zero. I've had a crush on Matt for, like, ever, and now I'm kissing him and... There's nothing. He pulled away once he realized I wasn't going to kiss back. My head dropped.

"M-Matt..." I whispered. He pulled me back in for another kiss, begging me to react. But I couldn't.

"Please, Charlie." He moved away from my lips and moved to my neck. "Please... I need you."

"Matt... I can't."

"Shhh... Yes you can... Charlie. You love me." He whispered, kissing where my jaw meets my ear. "You love me." He kissed my lips again, desperately. He pulled away. "I... I love you."

I pursed my lips together and shook my head. "I'm so sorry."

"Dammit, Charlie. I... I thought you loved me!" He brushed past my shoulder.

"Matt... I'm sorry." I reached after him.

"It's those British pricks." He muttered before spinning around and slapping me across the face. He broke from my grasp and I tumbled back.

"Matt! I'm so sorry... I don't love you. I-I thought I did... Matt... Please!" I called after him.

"Don't waste your tears, Charlotte." He stormed off. I sat on my knees, looking at them.

"Charlie, come on. Louis and Zayn are about to burst." Liam picked me up and dragged me back to the bus. I took a glance back at Matt who was walking down the darkened, unilluminated street. Liam put his hand at my back and gently pushed me onto the bus.

"HE HIT YOU!" Zayn shouted.

"He had every right to." I shook my head.

"He didn't! That... bastard!" Zayn growled.

"Don't be mad... It's my fault. I told him I loved him and..." I sighed. "It was a mistake."

"But. He. Hit. You." Louis spaced out his words angrily.

"Forget about it-"

"CHARLIE. HE HURT YOU!" Zayn slammed his hand on the small 'kitchen' counter. I rushed over to him.
