Only you (A ThatcherJoe/ Youtuber fanfic)

Chapter 10

Charlotte's POV:

I woke up from the flashback just playing again and again inside my head. The bed was empty but the room was dark. I reached out for my phone to see it was 3am. I jumped out of the bed and walked round the flat to try to find Joe. Nothing so I went back and called him. Nothing. I texted him and tried to go to sleep but I couldn't. Where could he be?

Joe's POV:

It was only about 9:30 but Charlotte had fallen asleep. Conor had text me to see if I wanted to go out not long after she fell asleep and I said yes so I got out of bed and got ready. Soon enough, Conor, Jack and Oli had arrived to go out. I slipped on my blazer and hopped into the car with them as we made our way to the club.

We arrived and Connor got the first round in along with a few cheeky shots. I felt bad for leaving Charlotte but hopefully, she would never know. The drinks kept coming and coming and before I knew it, I was dancing with some girl. We danced a lot and got to know each other throughout the night.

*The next morning*

I woke up with a banging headache. I had no clue where I was or the time. I looked around the room to see my clothes spread around the room. Did we? I got up and grabbed my clothes off the floor before checking my phone. Shit! 42 missed calls and 29 messages from Charlotte. I quickly got ready and ran towards the door. It was about 10 am already and would be in big trouble with Charlotte. The girl tried to call after me but I just sprinted out the door and down the road, trying to figure out where I was. I called an uber and Conor while I waited. "Hey man!" He shouted and my head just felt heavier.

"Hey can you do me a favour?" I asked nervously, hoping he would say yes. "Sure, what can I do for ya mate?" He asked and I let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding. "If Charlotte asks, can we say I was at yours all night?" I asked desperately. "Of course mate! What happened then?"

"I honestly don't know. All I know is I woke up feeling like shit and realised that Charlotte had been calling and texting me and I stayed at a girls house from school who I saw on the way home. Nothing happened but I'm not sure Charlotte will understand." I couldn't tell him the truth so that's the best he would get. "Alright I better get going mate." He said. "Okay same. Oh and thanks Conor." I replied. "Anytime mate." He finished and we hung up.

My Uber soon arrived. I hopped in and called Charlotte. "Hi Charlotte." I started. "Joe where are you? I woke and you were gone." She asked. "Sorry baby. You fell asleep and Conor asked if I wanted to go for a drink and I didn't want to wake you. We ended up drinking until about 5 am and I'd drank more then them so Conor took me back to his." I lied. "Okay just be back soon baby please? I really need you here." She added. "Why?! What happened?! Are you okay?!" I panicked. "Yeah I just need to see you." She answered. I sighed and we said our goodbyes before hanging up.

I arrived home and hopped into the shower after saying hi to Charlotte. I came out and she asked me to sit down. "Joe?" She asked. "Yes baby?" I replied. "Please answer this truthfully." I was beginning to worry. "Okay... What is it?" I questioned. 

"Why was there make up on your cheek when you came in?" She asked, looking a little pissed. "Was there? I had no idea. Some girl must have just kissed me last night when I was drunk." I couldn't tell her the truth, it would ruin everything.

"Hmmhm. So why is THIS in your pocket?!" She pulled out a red thong from my blazer pocket. "I don't know Charlotte." Oh shit.  "Don't fucking lie Joe!" She slapped me and grabbed her suitcases and bags from on top of the wardrobe. "Where are you going?" Now holding my face in my hands in pure pain. She walked back over to the bed and grabbed her phone. She put it up to her ear and spoke. "Hey Caspar. Can I stay at yours and Alfie's? Joe's been a dick and I've had enough of him. So i'm breaking up with him. Thanks." She hung up and finished packing.

I could tell she was crying even though she refused to face me at all. Soon enough there was a knock at the door and Charlotte took her things downstairs. She opened the door and I went down to see her crying in Caspar's embrace. He began to place her things in the car and she ran back upstairs to grab the last few things.

"So is this is it? I don't even have a say? Don't even get to explain? I was drunk. Okay?" I could feel a tear run down my cheek and she just chose to ignore me. Caspar came up to get Charlotte and saw us both crying. He sent Charlotte to the car and sat down. "I can't believe you Joe. I didn't want you with Charlotte because I knew this would happen. And it did. You don't understand how angry I am with you right now and want to punch you. So stay away from Charlotte. And stay away from me." He walked out and I just curled up into a ball and cried. Why did I do that?

I got a call from Alfie. I just ignored him. But he didn't give up. He just kept calling and texting. I also had a few calls and texts from Zoe but I didn't know why. I hopped she didn't know. I had a knock on the door and then it unlocked. But only 1 person had a key. Charlotte but she wouldn't have come back.

I heard footsteps up the stairs and Alfie walked into my room. "Joe, what happened?" I told him the whole story. Everything. "Wow. No wonder she left you. Why did you do it?" "I was drunk! Don't make me feel worse!" Eventually he left and I decided to go for a walk. I went into Hyde park, where I ran into Marcus but just kept walking. For a minute, I thought he was following me. But he wasn't so I was good. I was going to a spot. On the other end of Hyde park.

I arrived at the building. 16 stories high. I got to the top and stepped towards the edge. "Joe?!" I turned round to see a worried looking Maddie, Kate and Tanya.

They all ran towards me and pulled me back before I could jump. They took me inside and downstairs to the Google office.

"What happened Joe? I saw you come in when I was behind you. I was coming to a meeting. I watched the CCTV to see you where coming up here and told these two to come and get you." Tanya spoke and hugged me tight.

"Charlotte left me. My best friend hates me. Alfie hates me. Zoe never even knew about me and Charlotte. It was my fault she lost her memory in the crash and doesn't remember her family. My dad won't speak to me. It's all my fault." I began to cry and my breathing got faster and faster.

All I could hear was them fussing around me but I just couldn't make anything out anymore. Because minutes later, everything went black.
