The City Is Better With You (Ted Nivison x Reader)

Chapter Fifteen

TW: Mention Of Sexual Assault

--Time Skip To The day before New Years--

After Ted's and I late night things have been really good, We have gone "out" a few times. Ted took me around the city, Went and saw some movies, And we were planning for New Years. Schlatt and Charlie still didn't know about what happened,

And may still be happening

We continued to act flirty Infront of them, Maybe a little bit more but definitely not less. I was so relieved to tell Ted how I was feeling instead of worrying, I even had a plan to ask him to be my boyfriend on new years.

Today started just the same as any normal day, Waking up next to Ted and laying there until he finally woke up. I got changed into ripped jeans and the hoodie he gifted me, with the locket. I went into the kitchen area seeing Charlie eating some food.

"Hey Charlie, What's up?" I ask walking over.

"Hey Y/n, Is Ted here?" He looked around, I couldn't tell what was going on but he seemed off, Like something was wrong.

"Not at this moment, Is there something I can do to help?" I now sat next to Charlie.

"I'm not sure, You haven't had people saying things about you online." He paused grabbing his phone. "This random girl said that she met me and I'm this awful person taking advantage of people who know no better." He showed his phone

*ALittleNewYorkGirli*

I have had the displeasure of getting to meet Charlie in real life, He came into New York and Met someone I know. She came to me crying about how he was to much and was trying to convince her to do things she was simply uncomfortable with. This man should not be allowed to get away with this.

As soon as I read the username I knew who posted this, Alli must had been upset about Christmas still. I looked up to Charlie handing him back his phone, As I gave him a hug I hear Ted come into the room.

"Y/n?" He calls, closing the door.

"Ted, I'm here. I need to tell you something." Ted walked in seeing Charlie with his Face in his palms. "Alli posted something about Charlie, Something that's not true." I handed a phone to Ted. His eyes wandered the screen, His face getting more pressed the more he read. Charlie looked up hearing Alli's name.

"Are you sure it was Alli?" He looked at both Ted and I. After explaining what happened I reached for my phone to call her. I let it ring once, Twice and she answered

"Hey Y/n, was wondering when you would try to save your new best friends."

"Alli, Why are you doing this. You and I both know that Charlie is one of the nicest people."

"I'm not only going after Charlie. Tomorrow is Schlatt, And after you and Ted share a new years kiss its going to be him."

"Why though?"

"You fucked me over, All you had to do was go on one date but all you do is think about Ted."

"What if I go on the date? Will it stop?"

"That's all I wanted to hear, Its already planned. You and Ryan, Time Square, New Years Eve."

"When do I have to meet him?"

"7pm outside of the cafe I took you too."

"You need to go on twitter now and remove the post and admit you never met Charlie."

"Fine." 

She hung up the phone and all I could do was start to cry. Ted came to hold me right away and Charlie walked over slowly, as to give me some space. I held on to Ted as though my life would end by letting go. I sat there not leaving for a couple of minutes, Wiping some of the last heavy tears from my face I finally let go.

"She's removing the post and admitting to lying about it. Its on her secret account so her real name wont be tracked." I said talking mainly to Charlie, He rushed to give me a hug thanking me over and over again. "On a side note, I might not be at New years." I looked down to the floor. "In order to get her to back down from all of you, I must go on that date with Ryan."

"No, Your not. We can do something to stop him, To stop this." Ted stood up, as if he had an idea.

"What I think we can do is I'll sit though the early countdown with him and get to Schlatt's in time for midnight. I'll say I'm tired or something." I smiled up to Ted and Charlie, Now visibly concerned for me. "It'll be okay." I tried to reinsure. Ted and I spent some more time with Charlie in order to help him calm down from everything. I started to feel tired and went to the bedroom, Ted came in an hour later.

"I dont like this idea." He came over to my side of the bed giving me a kiss, "I dont like you going out with another guy, and I dont like that its with someone you clearly hate." He said kneeling down to the floor.

"Like I said, I'll be okay. If anything goes wrong I can call you and I will feel safe again." I smiled and laughed. "Did Charlie leave?" I ask as Ted now stood up, Now sitting next to me on the bed.

"No, But I really wanted to do this." He grabbed my face before kissing me, Every time he did that I felt everything disappear, It was magical, It was everything I wanted. As we heard Charlie move outside the door we pulled away, Ted blowing a kiss as he left. I spent the rest of the day laying and doing nothing. Ted came in occasionally to check on me, I loved when he came in.

Do I love him?

At the very end of the night I was half asleep being woken up to Ted getting into bed, I rolled over to cuddle into him.

"Goodnight Teddy." I say

"Goodnight My love." He kissed my forehead as I drifted back into sleep.
