Hattie's P.O.V

Charlie was right. Will started hitting on me at about 4 in the afternoon just after we got back. He was openly flirting with me and it was really uncomfortable. Charlie was sat on the couch between me and Will making the situation a little more comfortable.

Suddenly Mrs. McDonnell yelled from the kitchen.

"Charlie love! Can you come and help me please?" Charlie stood up and went into the kitchen, leaving me alone with Will. Almost immediately he slides over so he's up against me.

"So, babe, why'd ya pick Charlie?" He whispers in my ear. This is really uncomfortable.

"What do you mean?" I ask tentatively.

"I mean, a pretty girl like you could have any guy she wants. So why'd ya go for that weedy nerd?" I was in shock. How could he say that about his brother and still keep that stupid cocky expression on his face. I stood up, suddenly angry.

"Uh, excuse me? Number 1, Charlie is not weedy. Maybe he's a little nerdy, but I actually like that. And secondly, I love him. And just because you think you're fantastic, which is just arrogance by the way, does not mean that you can openly flirt with me and get away with it." And with that I flounced out the room. I was heading for the kitchen when I felt a hand on my arm and was roughly spun round.

Lips smashed against mine and a tongue forced its way into my mouth. It felt awful. Then, out the corner of my eye, I saw Charlie, stood stock still, staring in shock. And then he ran. Fear that I'd lost Charlie overcomes me and my only thought is to go after him. I knee Will hard in the balls and run after him.

"Charlie!" I yell but if he hears me, he doesn't stop. Who could blame him?

Charlie's P.O.V

I walk out the kitchen and see a sight that I'd seen before. Oh so many times before. Every time! But this was different. I've had girlfriends before, sure, but I've never been good with girls and it didn't last long. I really thought I had something special with Hattie, but here I am again, that same old situation where my brother is kissing my girlfriend. So I do something I've never done before. I run.

I hear Hattie call my name as I slam the front door closed, but I don't stop. I run across the road almost getting run over by a car. But I don't care. All I cared about was Hattie and now she's gone.

"Shh mate. It's ok. It's just a misunderstanding I'm sure." Alex attempts to calm me down.

"My brother was kissing my girlfriend! Alex, how can that be a misunderstanding?!" I yell. It's not his fault, I know. But all these emotions have to go somewhere.

"She kissed him Alex! Just like the rest of them! She told me she loved me and it wasn't true! None of it could be true! Why?!"

Alex's P.O.V

What the heck was going on with Charlie? Hattie was really nice but seriously? I know, I know, I like-liked her at one stage but I'm over that now. Honestly though, she's all he ever talks about! And besides, she doesn't seem like the type to cheat.

Yep, Charlie's home because he just came straight back after... it happened. And here we are, late at night, Charlie sobbing through a mouth full of tea.

Eventually, about 2 in the morning, I get him to bed. I've never seen him this crazy over a girl.

Hattie's P.O.V

I sigh loudly making the lady across from me scowl because she's trying to read a book. I got my stuff and left as soon as I realised I wasn't going to find Charlie. Poor Lindsay, I feel bad leaving her in the dark, but I couldn't stay and impose when Charlie wasn't there. Especially with Will there too.

What am I going to do? I wasn't cheating! Can't I find a way to show him that? I love him more than he knows and I don't want to lose him because of his arrogant brother.

~3 hours later~

After about five cups of tea, and much support from my flat mate Hailey, I'm ready to start. I picked up my pen and steeled myself to do it.

Dear Charlie,

Please don't stop reading when you recognise my writing. I need to explain how sorry I am and how this is a misunderstanding. I'm not writing this because I can't say it to your face, but so that I can. I love you more than you know and I don't want to lose you. Please come to our place at the park on the 25th which is tomorrow as I've just got home. Is 11 ok for you? Please. I miss you.

Hattie

There. I'd pop this through his letter box in the morning. And I wouldn't chicken out.

Sorry about all the P.O.Vs and how crappy the chapter is!

Just a short note, this is not real-life Wills real character. But in the story he's kind of the baddie. This isn't based on him it's just all made up except his age. Thanks for reading! If you liked it then vote/comment and if you didn't then, well you don't have to.

:)

Also I think this is the second chapter dedicated to @claryssathefoodlover because she is my wattpad bestie and posted lovely comments on every single chapter I've ever written! Thank you claryssa and if you follow her you get free invisible cake! It's chocolate fudge kind aswell!
