Only you (A ThatcherJoe/ Youtuber fanfic)

Chapter 22

Charlotte's POV:

I had just watched Alfie beat up Joe. How could he do that? I know he hurt me and everything but Alfie needs to calm down a little. I'm sick of watching people I love get hurt. My memory was pretty much back to normal and I was in contact with my family more now too. They'd also offered me money for my own place, in London. She likes Caspar and Alfie and all but she worries because obviously Alfie and Zoe and Joe is Zoe's brother. The only thing is, I wasn't planning on living in London, I was moving to America.

I didn't want to tell my parents because I knew they wouldn't consent or give me the money so they'll find out just not quite yet. I took out my laptop and booked the soonest flight. There's a reason i'm moving there, I got offered a job there already in office and fashion. Not only that but I got engaged.

Yes I know it's 'too soon' 'I'm only 19' but he is so lovely and he was just a friend, we met a few years back on a family holiday and kept in touch since. He's 22 and I can't wait. We'd been in love since we met and I was around 14, it never got serious until he was here a week or two ago.

Next flight was tomorrow night at 23:50 into Chicago. Perfect! I took out my suitcases and began to pack them. I had 4 suitcases so the rest would have to be shipped to me. I am moving in with Brandon and am just going to pay half the rent. So that's sorted I just need to tell him about the flight.

C: Hey baby, there's a flight at 23:50 UK time tomorrow night? Is that okay?

B: Of course! I'm so happy you're moving here!

C: So am I! I'm going to pack. Talk later B?

B: Sure C!

I don't know why but we call each other by our initials, it just started happening I guess.

I went upstairs to round up the boys. "Caspar, Alf?" I asked and they came towards me. "Can I talk to you guys a second?" I asked and they nodded so I sat down with them by my side. "Okay this isn't an easy decision but... I'm not going to be living with you guys anymore, I'm moving out." I sighed slightly and their eyes opened wide in shock. "What? Why?" Caspar asked alarmed. "Well, I'm just moving away that's all, I leave tomorrow." They sighed and hugged me tight. "But I don't want you to go." Caspar moaned like a child and picked me up over his shoulder. "You're going to stay on my shoulder forever and stare at my butt!" He shouted and I just giggled as I hit him to put me down, which he did.

"Don't tell anyone though, please and don't talk to my parents about it! I'll never hear the end of it." I laughed and the boys just looked at each other confused. "You're hiding something!" Alfie screamed and they pinned me down to the floor. "No I'm not!" I giggled and they began to fight me. "Okay, okay! You win, i'm not exactly... let's just say I won't be visiting that much." I trailed off hopping they wouldn't drag it out of me. "Right that's it! You're definitely not leaving if you won't visit!" Caspar shouted and threw me over his shoulder once again.

"Because I'm moving in with my fianc-" I said, shutting up mid sentence and regretting what came out my mouth. "Your what?!" Caspar shrieked in anger. "My boyfriend... in Chicago." "from Chicago!" They both shrieked in sync and I just stormed off. "I knew I shouldn't have even said anything, you won't support me anyway so what's the point in trying!" I huffed heading back down to my room and slamming the door closed. I slid down the door and began to sob. I just wanted their approval.

I heard a soft knock on the door and a deep, South African voice ask for entry. I moved away from the door and he came in. "I'm sorry Charlotte, I know this means a lot to you and I should be supportive. I just was upset you didn't tell me you were engaged." He admitted and held me tight. "I'm sorry too but I wanted it to be a surprise. Do you remember Brandon?" I asked. "The one from... Chicago?" He asked. "Yeah. We got really close and started dating again a few years back. We split up and I ended up with Joe. Then he cheated on me, Brandon was in the UK and he admitted he never stopped loving me and proposed two weeks ago. I said yes and I got offered an amazing job in Chicago." I continued. "My parents loaned me some money to get my own house... In the UK. So please don't say anything, not until I pay them back?" I asked and he nodded. "I'm going out to grab some food. Want anything?" He asked. "Just a sandwich or something. Where are you going?" I asked. "Pret?" He asked and I nodded. "Okay, i'll be back soon." He smiled and closed the door.
