Fallen Too Far

Chapter 60

Charlotte's POV :

"Will you please smile?" I looked up at Talia, still barricaded in the bed as she sat cross legged, stirring her tea. I flashed her my pearly whites then shut my mouth. "I meant a real one" She murmured, rubbing her rather large belly.

"I know, I'm sorry." I replied, making myself go up in a siting position, putting the pillow on me and hugging it close to me.

"You don't need to apologize" She said, putting her cup down and sitting beside me.

I love the best friend moments.

I put my head on her chest and we cuddled.

"This has been the worst 3 days of my life" I mumbled. 3 days. Already 3 fucking days.

"It'll get better babe, it always done." She soothed, rubbing my back.

"I just feel like I should still be there. Especially now that I know he's awake." I said. "I feel like now that Dustin's gone, Vanessa's no where to be seen, I should still be there." I added.

"I know.. And I understand that. But you'd still have the pressure of your parents" Oh my god. My parents! I totally forgot about them!

Woops..

"I think I'm gonna be single for the rest of my life and own 10 cats." I murmured,. ".. And holy fuck. Your baby just kicked me" The thump on her belly happened again making me screech. She laughed at me.

"For one, you'll meet someone.. And second, get used to it. It happens a lot" She smirked.

"Are you scared?"

"For what?"

"Being a mum? Doing all of this?"

"It scares me everyday.. But I'm excited. I love him already" I smiled at her answer, even though she could see me.

"I think you're going to be a great mum."

"And you're going to be a great baby sitter."

"Fuck you."

"Love you too."

Harry's POV :

"You do understand Talia is going to shove a tree up my ass, right?" Harry asked, as we drove on the freeway. Why's it such a long fucking drive?

"Why?" I asked, painfully adjusting myself in my seat.

"The point of Charlotte leaving was to have no contact with you. As harsh as that sounds. It's true."

"If she wants to leave, fine. But I want to hear it from her. I'm not leaving without a fight." I replied, twirling my phone in my hands.

"She did say it."

"I was passed out! That's not fair."

"Because she knew she wouldn't be able to say it to your face.. Harry please let me take you back home" He begged. I think he's scared to see the girls reaction when I show up too.

"Lou, I already told you I would take the blame for this.. But if this is what she wants.. I need closure too." He gave me a sad nod, and continued to drive.

If I'm lucky.. I can make her come back with me.

Charlotte's POV :

"Lou's almost here.. He wants to know if you want a coffee from Star bucks?" Talia asked, walking into the bedroom. I had just finished getting dressed, and threw my hair up in a messy bun.

"No I'm fine.. I'll be right back though." I said, going passed her.

"Where are you going?" She asked me.

"The mail man gave us your neighbors mail, I'm just going to run it over" I gave her a smile before bouncing out the door with the mail.

I hope I don't scare them. I do look like I just got back from the fucking military.

I walked up the front steps and rang the door bell. Not long after that, I younger boy around my age opened it. Yeah he's hot.

"Uhh hey?" He said. American? Wow..

"Hey, I think this is yours?" I said, handing him the 3 envelopes .

"Oh thanks, did they deliver them at the Lovett's again?" He asked, leaning on the door frame.

"Yeah"

"So are you a friend of Talia's or something, then?" He asked me.. I knew just by the engine it was Louis car coming up the street, but I didn't look.

"Yeah, I'm staying with her until March" I replied, giving him a warm smile.

"What's in march?"

"My parents come home from a business trip." I said,

"Oh cool.. Well maybe before then we could grab a coffee?" I froze. Oh fuck.

"Umm.. Yeah, maybe." I didn't want to just be rude and be like 'No mother fucker' . So maybe it was.

"Awesome, I'll see you around then?" He asked me,

"See you around."

I turned and walked off his steps. That's not what I was expecting at ALL.

"TALIA your neighbor dude, asked me out on a date!" I said opening the door, but chest fell to the ground and my stomach almost came out my but when I saw Louis hadn't come alone.

"Look who umm.. decided to surprise us?" She said, looking at Harry.

Oh my fuck.

I felt really dizzy. I didn't even know what to say, or what to do. I was surprised he was even out of the hospital. ..

FUCK.

My hand reached back for the door handle, in hopes of finding it. I struggled but got it. And then opened it and stumbled outside. Closing the door behind me with a slam.

Why is he here?

"Charlie, we need to talk." My chest rose heavily when the door opened again and he followed me outside. I shoo my head and continued to walk down the street, but he of course followed me doing that, too.

"You're not walking away, now!" He hissed, hopping in front of me.

"Why are you here?"

"Why'd you leave?"

"Harry.. I-"

"Don't say because you didn't want to hurt me anymore, because look at me. I'm fine. I'm alive and now I'm chasing you down a street." I looked to the ground before looking up at him.

"It doesn't matter anymore.. I don't want you here.." I whispered.

"Why!? Why are you doing this now? Dustin's dead. Vanessa's gone. Nothing can hurt us anymore! .... I can protect you." His voice cracked and it broke my heart.

"Our paren-"

"-Our parents cant shove fat one's down their throats. Look how far we have made it together, we've proven we can get through anything together. That nothing will come between us."

Since when is he so good with words.

"Please, I'm sorry for everything.. I love you. I'm sorry." He took my hands in his and brought me close to him.

"I'm sorry,..." I whispered, he lifted my chin and studied my face.

"I forgive you. I'll-"

"- No, Harry.. I'm sorry but I can't.. do this anymore.." He face fell, and he dropped his hand.

There was a long pause of silence..

"We're over." The words left my mouth as a tear left my eyes.

It was over. I was scared, and he was trouble. I hate to say it, but I now understand...

Harry Styles, was trouble.
