The Moment I Knew. // Chandler Riggs Fanfiction.

Chapter 10

After some hours of sleep Rachel's alarm went off.
"I really don't wanna see him today." I said.
"You want to, you gonna show him what he has missed, and make him feel even more sorry." Is what Rachel said.
"Okay let's get dressed."
I put on a white shirt with Play With Fairies, Ride A Unicorn, Swim With Mermaids and Fly To The Moon on it. Blue ripped jeans, a red flannel, black converse, dark red lipstick, black bag, sunglasses and some accessories. We walked downstairs.
"I think I am going to bring my own guitar today." I said to Rachel.
"Yea, good idea, he'll know it's serious." She said.
"Yea but, I feel that if I would play on another guitar I would break down. My own guitar when I play on it it just feels like you are just standing next to me." I said.
"Aww, thanks and you'll get through this." She said.
While Rachel was eating breakfast I walked upstairs to grab my guitar and songbook. When I walked downstairs I ate fast some breakfast and then my mom drove us to WSC.
When we arrived I hugged everyone and they all gave me some late birthday wishes. I walked to Natalia.
"Natalia, I've written a song." I said.
"Great, can I hear it?" She asked.
"You can when I am performing, I want everyone to hear it at the exact same time." I said.
"Okay. That's no problem." She said.
With the rehearsal I told the band that we are going to replace We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together for Should've Said No.
"You don't need to learn this song but I wanna bring a message to someone with this song." I said.
"Sure, that's cool." They said.
WSC almost started. I was the opening act, and Chandler looked the entire performance. I didn't even look at him, I did for the last two songs. When I finished playing Should've Said No, I had a little speech.
"So I wrote this song yesterday, and what happened in this song it might've happened 2 years ago or 2 days ago, but what I want you to know, this person has really hurt me." I said. Chandler looked at me with a tear in his eye, I looked at him and with my look I told him to stay he did. I sat down on a stool.
"This song is called The Moment I Knew." I started singing (please don't hate on this song and imagine the melody).

You should've been there,
Should've burst through the door,
With that 'baby I'm right here' smile,
And it would've felt like,
A million little shining stars had just aligned,
And I would've been so... Happy.

Christmas lights glisten,
I've got my eye on the door,
Just waiting for you to walk in,
But the time is ticking,
People ask me how I've been
As I comb back through my memory,
How you said you'd be here,
You said you'd be here.

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they're all laughing,
As I'm looking around the room,
But there's one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.

And the hours pass by,
Now I just wanna be alone,
But your close friends always seem to know
When there's something really wrong,
So they follow me down the hall,
And there in the bathroom,
I try not to fall apart,
And the sinking feeling starts,
As I say hopelessly,
"He said he'd be here."

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they're all laughing,
And asking me about you,
But there was one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.

What do you say
When tears are streaming down your face
In front of everyone you know?
And what do you do when the one
Who means the most to you
Is the one who didn't show?

You should've been here......
And I would've been so... Happy.

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they're all standing around me singing
"Happy birthday to you",
But there was one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.

Ooh, I knew.
Ooh,

You called me later,
And said, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it,"
And I said, "I'm sorry too,"
And that was the moment I knew."
I sang while enough tears streamed down my face. I made almost the entire time eye contact with Chandler, I saw some tears, but he tried to hide it. When I was finished the crowd screamed and they were touched, and it was beautiful to see.
"What'd ya'll think about it?" I asked.
Literally everyone screamed or made noise.
"Thank you for listening, bye." I said while I waved to everyone and walked off.
When I arrived backstage, Natalia came up walking to me.
"That was lyrical and emotional so perfect! I never heard something like that ever before." She said.
"Thank you, my feelings are in the song." I said.
"Well this song, is gonna be in every performance." She said excited.
I hugged her "THANK YOU SO MUCH!" I screamed.
She walked away, Rachel and I were screaming. Then the moment got ruined Chandler came.
"Karlie can I talk to you?" He asked.
"Yea sure." I said.
We sat down somewhere.
"Why didn't you came?!" I asked while tears were streaming down my face.
"I told you, I brought Brianna to the airport." He said.
"Does that really take the entire evening?" I asked.
"Yea the traffic was bad." He said.
"You could've walked you know." I said rudely.
"I am sorry that I didn't make it!" He screamed.
"Do you have any idea how devastating it was not having you there?!" I screamed.
"Even your Friends were there and not you!" I screamed.
"I know I am sorry!" He screamed.
"I... I need time to think... I love you I really do but when you love someone so much and when they hurt you they can break you into a million pieces." I said calmed down.
"Okay... You know that I love you too." He said while grabbing my hand.
I looked into his eyes, I felt the same feeling that I felt weeks ago when we met each other...
"I love you too, just I need some time to calm down a little..." I said while looking him into the eyes like nothing else matters.
"Okay I understand." He said.
CHANDLERS P.O.V.
Does she mean we are breaking up? Or just some time to try and not write heartbreaking songs about me?
10 minutes later I got a phone call.
"Hello, this is Chandler." I said.
"Hey Chandler, it's me Robert." He said.
"Hey, what's the matter?" I asked.
"Since you and Karlie are together, I thought you can give her the big news." He said.
"What big news?" I asked.
"We are offering Karlie a role in The Walking Dead!" He said.
"Wow that's great I'll tell her." I said.
"Thanks Chandler cya on set." He said.
"Bye Robert." I said, I hung up.
I don't really look forward to tell Karlie. I don't want to make things weird, but I'll have to.
I walked to Karlie, who was pissed.
"Karlie? Can we talk?" I asked. She wanted to walk away, I grabbed her arm.
"Let go." She said.
"No, I need to tell you something." I said.
"What?" She said a little pissed.
"Well, Robert just called me and they are offering you a role in The Walking Dead." I said. She got a big smile on her face. And then she hugged me, it felt so good, it feels fearless, like we belong together.
KARLIES P.O.V.
While I was hugging Chandler I got this amazing feeling, I felt enchanting again. I know that we belong together, but after what he's done, I...I... Wait why do I need time? A relationship has ups and downs that's life I need to tell him.
I pulled us out of the hug.
"Chandler." I said.
"Yes?" He said.
"It was stupid from me to call in a break, I mean every relationship has its own ups and downs." I said while looking in his ocean blue eyes.
"I know, but I had to be there, I mean it was your birthday, you only turn once 16." He said.
"I know, but I just love you way to much to hate you, that hug we just had, it remembered me of all the good feelings I have with you." I said while blushing.
"Karlie." He said.
"Yea?" I said.
"I love you." He said.
"I love you too." I said. We kissed. Rachel came running to me.
She was awkwardly just standing there waiting for me.
We pulled out of the kiss.
"I have to go and take photo's bye." Chandler said.
"Bye." I said while waving a little.
"What was that about?" Rachel asked.
"I realized that every relationship has ups and downs and I just love him way too much much to hate him." I said.
"I guess that's how a in love teenage brain works." Rachel said.
"After this watch some messed up in love teenage minds movies?" I said while laughing.
"Sure." She said.
