Falling

Chapter 2

I woke up, looking around the room. Where's Jason? He was with me last night. I stood up and walked to the living room, in pursuit of him. As I go through the hallway, something grabs me from behind and I shriek.

"Hello, beautiful." Jay smiles.

"Don't scare me like that." I say, struggling to get out of his grasp.

"Why are you trying to leave? Don't you love me?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"I wish I could have showed you how much I love you last night." he muttered sexily. His lips touched mine, causing me to smile. My face flushed.

"Don't be embarrassed, babe." he laughed.

His phone began to ring. I reached around him to his back pocket, where I grabbed his phone and answered.

"Hello?" I said.

"Who is this?" it was a female's voice.

Jason reached for the phone but I turned away.

"Who the hell is this?" I replied.

"I'm Jason's girlfriend. And you are?" she spoke. I dropped his phone.

"You're disgusting." I snarled, twisting away from him and walking in to the kitchen angrily.

"What's your problem? It was probably a prank." he replied.

"It wasn't funny."

"I'm so sorry. Can you forgive me?" He said sarcastically.

"Why are you such a fucking prick, Jason?"

"What did I do?"

"Why would you sneak around with other girls?" my eyes burned.

He grimaced. "Are you really crying? Its not that serious." I looked down, breaking our glare.

"I can't stand you and your insecurities, Charlotte. Maybe I should of had her stay the night instead of you." He spat. His words stung. I heard him shuffle across the room and grab his keys.

"Where are you going?" I stammered.

"None of your business. I want you out of my house by time I get back" He said as he hurried out the door, locking it behind him. I collapsed on the couch and sobbed, letting the tears soak my face. He knows how I feel about cheating, so why would he do it to me? I reached for my phone and dialed Stella.

"Hello?" Teagan answered.

"Is Stella there?" I whimpered.

"What's wrong?"

"It's Jay.."

"I'm gonna beat his ass. What did he say?"

"T.."

"What did he say, Charlie?". I heard mumbling in the backround, and a change of voice.

"Hello?" It was Stella.

"Please pick me up, Stella." I murmured.

I heard Teagan ranting to someone in the background. "I'm on my way, Charlie, stay put."

Click. The phone went dead.

I scrambled to put on my clothes and fix my hair. It was so tangled and I didn't have a brush with me, so I tied it in a bun. My face was stained with tears. A few minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I opened it to find Teagan, Stella, and Harry. All of them had worried expressions on their faces. Teagan bursted past me.

"Where is he?" she yelled, furious.

"He left awhile ago. He wants me gone before he gets back" I replied.

Harry grabbed me and held me tight. "Are you alright?" He yelled, panic on his face.

"I'm fine." I said, burying my face into his white tee shirt.

Stella was on the phone arguing with someone. I hoped it wasn't Jason.

"Let me see" Harry said, reaching for Stella. She handed him the phone.

"What the hell is wrong with you... you know how she is.... if I see you around her again.." he responded to the caller. I freed myself from Harry's grasp.

"We are going to your place. Get in the car, Charlie." Teagan said, still upset. I obeyed her command and hopped in, followed by Stella, Harry, and Teagan, who hopped in the front seat and backed out of the parking lot.

Once we arrived at Stella and I's dorm, I left out the car, sped to the door, and rushed to my closet. I knew I looked a mess and needed to get cleaned up. Harry, Teagan, and Stella went in the living room and watched TV. I hopped into the shower, and let the water hit my mascara-stained cheeks. once I finished, I put on a large tee shirt Harry left at my house weeks ago. I love the smell of him.

"Aww, you're like a little baby" Teagan laughed when I came into the living room. Harry smirked.

I grinned, slightly. I'm not really in the best of spirits to smile. Stella glanced at me. "We were gonna go to Niall's. You coming?"

"I'll stay behind. Tell him I said hi, ok?" I replied, hurrying my friends out the door. I just want to be alone right now and besides, it's starting to get dark outside.

"Um Stella, I think I'm gonna stay behind with Charlie." Harry murmured, looking me in the eye.

"Oh, ok. bye" Teagan called.

"Bye guys." I said.

Once the girls were gone, I gave Harry a skeptical gaze.

"Why aren't you with Amber?"

He scoffed. "I broke up with her this morning. She wanted me to meet her parents."

"Harry! Why would you do that?" I laughed.

"Because."

"Because?"

"Just because."

I shook my head. "I'm happy you got rid of her, anyways. She wasn't good for you."

"I guess. But I stayed here to ask you on a date."

A date? My best friend since high school wants to take me on a date? "Harry, Were such good friends and I don't wanna get involved like that.."

Harry interrupted my speech. "Charlotte, you're gorgeous. Do you honestly think I've never looked at you?" He spat, obviously annoyed.

I sighed. "Whatever."

I'll go on the date, let this run through his system, then everything will be back to normal.

"Good. I'll pick you up at 10." He said as he stood up and walked out the door.
