Falling

Chapter 1

Annoyed, I pulled out a cigarette.

"That's an ugly habit" Jason said, taking a puff of his own cigarette.

"How come you can do it then?" I snapped.

"I'm a fucked up college dropout" he responded. "You aren't."

I chuckled. "Where the hell is Harry?" He was supposed to be here over an hour ago.

"Do I look like his father? He's probably out with Amber."

I frowned. He knows that I don't like Amber. Other than the fact that she dresses like an off-duty prostitue, she is dumb as hell. She barely even made it to college if it wasn't for her father, the dean of our school.

"Aw, is Charlie jealous?" Jason laughed.

"Piss off." I might be jealous, but I would never admit that to him.

"Don't sass me." At that moment, the doorbell rang. I sprung from the couch and opened the door.

Harry ran his hand through his curly locks while Amber stood to his side, beaming.

"Oh my gosh, Charlotte! Good to see you again! Rocking your usual dark look I see" Amber said, followed by fake laughter. I looked down at myself. My oversized Kiss band tee, flannel, and ripped black tights didn't seem dark to me.

I looked at Harry. "I see you brought the entertainment."

Harry glared at me. "Cool it, Charlie."

I returned his stare, along with my middle finger.

Suddenly, Jason darts past us out the door, racing towards the car. "Enough chatting, they probably ordered their food already!" he called out, motioning for us to follow behind him. I walked in between Harry and Amber, bumping them both with my shoulder.

Jason tossed the keys to Harry. "You're driving."

"Shotgun!" Amber cheers.

I hop in the back of Jason's Audi directly behind Amber. Harry looks at me, and I laugh. why do I get so nervous when I'm around him? We had shared a kiss in the past, but nothing has ever happened since then.

---------------

After our drive, we finally arrive at Rocky's Roller Burgers. I step out the car and heard screams. Teagan.

"Yay! Guys they are finally here!" Teagan cried as she rushed to hug Jason and I. She is basically my long lost sister. We both don't have a problem with voicing our opinions and we don't take shit. Teagan saw Amber and frowned.

"Harry, why did you bring trash to our hangout?" she hissed. Amber winced at her words.

"Why do you have to always be a bitch to my company, T?" he responded, giving Amber a reassuring glance.

"Probably because you have a new date every time we see you, Styles" Liam chimed.

Amber frowned. I hope she knows that Harry plays games when it comes to girls. I've never seen him introduce anyone as his girlfriend.

"That's true, Harry" Jason chuckled. I felt a hand grasp my behind, and I quickly spun around. My boyfriend, Jason, looked at me, smirking.

"You're coming back to my place after this, right?" His breath tickled my nose.

"Maybe."

He grinned. "You mean yes."

"If we don't get inside now, we'll lose our table" yelled Niall.

We all filed in and filled our corner booth, all of us squeezing in comfortably.

"Hi, I'm Isaac. Can I take your order?"

"You can take my virginity" my friend Sophia breathed. We all laughed, including Isaac. He was attractive, with dark hair and icy blue eyes. His lip had a piercing on it that he took between his teeth.

"We all know that your virginity is long gone" Stella, my roommate, added. We laughed harder. Isaac stood there, looking uncomfortable.

"Well I'll have a Bacon cheeseburger" I mumbled, looking up at Isaac.

"Can I have a banana smoothie, a large fry, and a veggie burger?" Teagan said.

"Fat ass" Jason whispered, causing us to erupt with laughter. Teagan playfully stuck her tongue out at him in return.

"Ill order the same" Stella added as everyone started to order.

"What are we gonna do a girls night in again, Sophie? That was the best thing ever" I asked.

"Last time you guys flashed our frat room. What's next, streaking through the halls?" Zayn laughed as we continued our conversation.

------------

After we all finished our plates, we headed towards the parking lot. Jason gripped my arm.

"You're riding back with me" he chuckled, causing me to blush.

Jason snickered, waving everyone goodbye.

Once when got home, I went to Jason's bedroom an pulled out one of his tee shirts. I slid off my clothes, unhooked my bra, and put it on. It brushed my mid thigh and sat sloppily on my shoulders. Jason walked in and his eyes widened.

"My god, Charlie. You're so sexy" he mumbled, looking me up and down. He progressed towards me, his hands running through his dark brown hair.

Nervously, I backed up and hit his desk.

"What's wrong?" He whimpered.

"Nothing! I'm just wiped from our night out, that's all." I lied. I'm not ready for anything like that. He's so aggressive, and I just like to be close with someone. I don't always wanna be active, if you know what I mean.

"I see." he said, his voice laced with fatigue. He moved off of me, put on his pajamas, and found his way back to the bed. He stretched out and I curled my body next to him, placing my arms around him.

"See you in the morning" I whispered.

"Good night, Charlie" he said in return.
