Only you (A ThatcherJoe/ Youtuber fanfic)

Chapter 11

Charlotte's POV:

I can't believe Joe! Honestly how could he cheat on me then lie about it to me?! Right now I don't even know what to do. I either want to just cry some more, or scream. What is the point?

We finally got to the apartment and I just froze. I felt a tear run down my cheek and Caspar ran to my aid. I hopped out of the car and to my side. Then just held me in his arms as I cried some more. I finally calmed down and we went to grab my bags out of the boot. We headed inside and Alfie and Zoe just stared, puzzled for a moment.

"Hey! You're back early!" Zoe then said and came to hug me. "Yeah, it wasn't working out at my parents so I came back and asked Caspar to get me from the station." I could see Alfie still puzzled but on his phone, I nudged Caspar and he saw and went to join Alfie while me and Zoe took my things to my room. "Charlotte can I ask you something?" Zoe asked and I began to worry. "Erm, sure." I sat down on the bed and so did she. "What happened? Like what made you come back?" She asked. "Well... I just didn't remember them and I was getting really frustrated about it and it just. Wasn't working, we tried for a month and a half though." I admitted. "I'm sorry." "It's okay." She hugged me tight and I heard the front door slam. We let go and ran upstairs. "Where's Alfie gone?!" Zoe screamed.

"To get answers." Caspar spoke.

Alfie's POV:

Charlotte and Caspar had just got here. I thought she was staying at Joe's? Something must of happened. Zoe went to hug her and I tried to get through to Joe, but of course his phone was off. The girls went off downstairs and Caspar came to join me. "I thought she was staying at Joe's?" I asked. "Was. Joe cheated on her last night and so she left him." Caspar admitted. "Is he really that stupid?! If Zoe found out she'd be extremely pissed off with him he can't just do that!" "I said he can't come round here anymore."He explained to me. "I need to go speak to him. Ask him why. Tell him straight." Charlotte is like a sister to me. I would protect her as much as Caspar would. The thing Caspar doesn't know is that I used to be her neighbour. Until we were 12 and she moved to Leeds. We were best friends and I was so thankful to have her back, and now my girlfriend's brother has hurt her and I can't accept that.

I got to Joe's and knocked on the door. No answer so I took out the key off Charlotte and unlocked the door and made my way to Joe's room. "Joe, what happened?" I was actually really pissed off, just didn't want him to know. He told me the whole story in detail and I just wanted to punch him. "Wow. No wonder she left you! Why did you do it?" "I was drunk! Don't make me feel worse!" He shouted back and I just stormed out. I couldn't just sit there and listen to his bullshit. I thought Joe was a good guy. I thought he wouldn't do something like that. I guess I thought wrong.

I walked back the long way just thinking. I couldn't tell Zoe but if I lied, things would be worse. I'd have to talk to the others about it. I just needed to calm down before going back to Zoe. I don't know how we could hide it, she needs to know about her brother. I know it's horrible, especially as she's pregnant. But she'd have to choose.

Charlotte's POV:

We all waited anxiously for Alfie's return. He hadn't answered any calls, texts or tweets. Nothing. He'd been gone 2 hours now. Did this have something to do with our past? Sticking up for me like what he used to do when we were younger? We were so confused and worried. Well, at least me and Caspar were. Zoe had no idea what was happening. I wasn't scared for Joe. I hated him. Alfie could beat him up if he wanted to. I was more scared of what would happen to Alfie, and what he would get himself into.

"Zoe calm down, everything will be okay. It's not good to get so worried. Come here." Caspar said and held a worried looking Zoe in his arms. What did he mean? 'It's not good to get so worried'? It confused me a little but it wasn't my place to ask. "Charlotte?" "Hmm hmm?" "You okay? You look a little lost and confused." She asked.  "Yeah, I guess just what you said. What did you mean?" Caspar and Zoe looked at each other and I think he mouthed sorry to her before she spoke. "You're gonna find out soon anyway. I'm pregnant! 4 months actually." She admitted. "Wow, congratulations! When did you find out?" I asked. "Erm.. well December? Yeah. That's why I left early New Year's. I found out a week before and told Alfie I felt sick and I was pregnant and left because the smell alcohol made me feel sick." I moved over and hugged her. "I have an appointment later actually. Which is why Alfie needs to answer because I don't want to go alone. I haven't told him about it." She explained. "Let's find him then! But if it comes down to it I can go if you want?" "Please? I'll drive and look. Caspar call people round the area ask to keep a look out and stay here? Charlotte can you drive round too?" We all agreed and left.

We had drove round for 3 hours and it was getting extremely close to the appointment Zoe called me and I immediately picked up. "Hi, we need to get to the appointment. He's just gonna have to miss it." She said sadly. "Okay, i'll have to meet you there." I agreed. "Okay. Hurry." She was about to hang up before I stopped her. "Wait! I think I can see Alfie!" I admitted.  "Go see!" I stopped the car and jumped out and ran towards him. It was Alfie. "Alfie where have you been? Do you know what? Just come! Explain on the way." I grabbed his hand and he looked at me concerned. "Where are we going?" "Zoe. She has an appointment in 10 minutes. She wants you there."

He suddenly realised what I was saying and ran quickly back to the car. We got in and went straight towards the doctor's office where we'd meet Zoe. "Call Zoe. Tell her you're with me and we're on our way." He did exactly that.

We finally arrived and went straight inside to find Zoe. "I'm gonna go, I've got things to do but tell me how it goes?" They nodded and I went to my car. I got back and ran straight to my room and locked the door. Well, not really lock it, but take off the handle on the inside. I heard Caspar on the other side trying to get in. But it was no use. He was just shouting and hitting the door. I went to my drawers and took it out. I sat in the corner and just cried.

I pulled up my sleeve and put the knife to my wrist, I cut and cut until I heard Zoe's soothing voice. "Charlotte? Let me in? I'm not moving until you let me in so you might as well." I sighed, I must have been in there about an hour or more. I put the knife back and went to my on suite to clean up my deeply cut, bleeding arm.

I pulled down my sleeve, put on the handle and opened the door to a scared looking Zoe. "What happened? Why did you run straight in here? What's wrong?" She held me tight and I held her tighter. That is until I began to cry because of the pain of my wrist. "What's wrong?" She pulled away and I just looked down. I couldn't talk about me and Joe or my wrists. I had nothing. She took my hands and waited.

"It's nothing. Well actually it's everything. It's just getting a little too much I guess." I sighed and she embraced me once again. When she pulled away, she looked down. "Shit Charlotte! Why is your wrist or hand bleeding? Let me clean that up for you." Why didn't I wrap it up? "It's fine, i'll do it Zoe. I'm sure Alfie will be wondering what you're doing. I'm fine. Honestly." She shook her head. "It's fine. I'll do it." She slid up my sleeve before I could stop her and she gasped.
