Pretty little promises (Mialotte)

Chapter 18 | Deliah..

(Charlotte's pov)

My eyes snapped open as I panted, attempting to catch my breath after having yet another horrendous nightmare. Gently, I felt someone stroke my arm and mutter sweet nothings into my ear.
"Morning princess. Did you have another bad dream?" The red-head asked while moving my head to lay on her chest.
"Mhm." I mumbled, almost silently.
"Awh, my poor baby. Come here." She frowned while pulling me towards her and cuddled up to me.

Charlotte has been staying with me the previous week and I'm usually a very poor sleeper but with her by my side, I've never slept better. I wish we could move in together but that could never happen, we're only fifteen. While cute thoughts roamed my mind, I felt Char's body become heavy and that's when I knew she had fallen back asleep. I couldn't help but smile at the sleeping beauty in my arms.
How did I get so lucky?

Quietly, I reached for my phone but accidentally grabbed my girlfriends instead. Her phone had about two hundred missed messages from the same number but as I went to click who it was, I realised - it was Deliah. I haven't talked to her since I found out the truth so seeing her texting MY girl infuriated me. My eyes scanned through the messages that had been left and I began to see red. Without being able to think straight, I shook Chars body, waking her up from her sleep and she kissed my temple before gazing down at her phone in my hands.
"Care to explain why you didn't tell me?" I asked.
"I knew you would be really angry and want to hurt her, so I thought it would be safer if I didn't tell you.. I'm sorry." She replied nervously, avoiding eye contact.
"Sweetheart, I know you think that I would've done something I'm not supposed to, but I would only do that if you had asked me too. Don't worry angel." I hushed her.

As the day went on, Charlotte had went to get some more clothes from her house ,while I had an idea that seemed perfect at the time.
Since I know Delilah's had a crush on me forever, I decided to pretend to meet her, then I would confront her.

*on messages*
(Mia) Hey Dee-dee. Charlottes getting so boring recently, so I was wondering if you wanted to meet up? Xxxx
(Deliah) That is too tempting to resist. Let's meet at the make out part of the forest. Xxxx
(Mia) See you soon, babe. 💋 xo

I felt like I could physically be sick at calling Deliah babe. Ew.
I quickly got changed and made the loyal decision to leave my phone in my house, incase Char tracks me and realises I'm about to hurt Deliah.

(Charlotte's pov)

I was outside of Mia's door when I read a note on the floor, signed by her.
It read -
"Hey baby. I'm out right now, I'll be back soon. Xx -Mia"
I didn't think anything of it and just walked right into her home and went to get settled on her bed.
Everything seemed happy and calm until I noticed her phone had been left open.
I read the messages and immediately began to pack, I was running away.
All of my worst nightmares had been coming true, she was cheating on me with Deliah.
Mia was meant to be mine. After all, she was my saviour, my only hope and mainly, my will to live.
Without her, I am nothing.
I will be nothing, soon enough.

I picked up a large steak knife and looked down at it nervously before placing it in my bag.
I wasn't sure if I would follow through with murdering myself, but did I really have a choice?
That morning would've been the last time I ever woke up with my dream girl laying next me, gazing over with stars in her eyes, clearly as in love with me as I was with her.

I can't believe I fell for this, where are my trust-issues when I need them?

My facial expression remained blank as I left her house, holding a duffle bag.
I sprinted away as far as I could.

I couldn't face the real world right now so I drank.
I drank any alcohol I could get my hands on until the point that I was unconscious.
