The Moment I Knew. // Chandler Riggs Fanfiction.

Chapter 9

It is Saturday, my birthday is today. I got all these text messages and tweets and comments on ig. People are so nice. I was excited about seeing Chan again after a few days and my little party that I gave. I got out of bed, put on my black dress, a flannel and my Floral Keds. I put on some red lipstick and a little mascara. I walked downstairs and got overwhelmed by pictures that my parents made.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARLIE!!" They screamed. I hugged them and gave them a kiss on the cheek.
"Where are you going tonight?" I asked because they didn't want to stay for the party.
"We are going to a hotel." They answered.
"Cool." I said.
I took my breakfast sat on the couch and watched some TV, played games on my phone, while I was waiting for the guests to come. After a few hours the first people came that were Rachel, Alice and Brooklyn I told everybody no gifts, but they didn't listen and they gave just something small. 5 minutes later Chandler's friends came Eric, Noah and Sam, they did listen and they didn't bring any gifts. 1 minute after them Hanna and Demi came and they gave gifts😑.
I was waiting for Chan but he didn't show up... Demi and Hanna asked me how I've been, as I comb back through my memory how he said he'd be here.
"I am fine and how about you?" I aksed.
"We're fine too, we don't have a very exciting life like yours😂" They laughed.
Exciting? My boyfriend didn't even show up.
"Well career is going good and stuff but that's it I think😂" We laughed.
I sat on the couch watching the boys game. I was waiting for Chandler bursting through the front door with that "Baby I'm right here." Smile. But that didn't happen...
After hours, minutes and seconds faking a smile and try to be happy I broke down I just wanna be alone, but his friends always seem to know when there's something wrong. When I walked through the hall, their eyes followed me. I walked to the bathroom. And when I was there looking into the mirror I tried not to fall apart. And I kept saying to myself he said he'd be here. I walked back with tears streaming down my face, and what do you say on those moments? Like "The one who means the most to me didn't show up, because he should've said no." I didn't say that.
"Guys I really love everyone in this room." I said.
"We forgot to do one thing tonight." Rachel said.
Rachel started clapping and sing Happy Birthday, everyone sang along with her and clapped, this was the only time of the entire evening I didn't have to fake a smile. These people that were standing around me made me happy, even though I've only met them once. When the birthday song finished I got some cake for everyone.
After that moment I was happy. When it was time for people to leave I told them how happy they've made me and hugged them. I asked Rachel wanted to stay. She said yes.
When everyone left, I broke down in tears.
"What's wrong Karlie?" Rachel asked.
"He said he'd come, he didn't." I said.
"Where was he even.?" She said trying to calm me down.
"He met this girl Brianna, and she was leaving today back to Florida and he brought her to the airport but he didn't show up." I said while crying. After 10 minutes I got calm. I got a call from Chandler. I picked up.
"Hello, Karlie?" He said.
"What?" I said.
"I'm sorry I didn't make it. I really am." He said.
"I'm sorry too." I answered and then I hung up.
"Rachel?" I said.
"Yea?" She answered,
"Can you grab my guitar and my song book? There are lyrics and melodies flowing through my head." I asked.
"Yea I'll even run for you😹 as long as you say in your grammy acceptance that I took your songbook and guitar😹" She said while we were both laughing.
For the next hour I was writing a song, and after that, I added the chords. Rachel was the first one to hear my first finished song.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"I think that you should sing it tomorrow at WSC and show him how much he has hurt you." She answered.
"That's why we are friends, we do nothing better than revenge😹" I said while laughing. We went to sleep, I couldn't sleep so I was looking on Instagram and thanking people for the birthday wishes. After half an hour I felt asleep.
