Some Type of Love (Then There's You Book #2) (Charlie Puth Fan fiction)

Chapter 16

We drove home.

As soon as we walked in , I hugged him tight. He hugged me even tighter.

"Charlie......... I love you".

"I love you too. So much".

"I know you're fine, but I was still so worried."

"I know, baby."

We talked the rest of the day.

He looked at me. "We're going out tonight. I'm going to go get ready".

I laughed. "Charlie, what are talking about? I look insane."

He looked back at me. "Alli, don't you dare fix a thing. You look gorgeous".

I smiled. He walked into his room.

How did I get him? I thought about it for a while. He took a while to get ready. He came out wearing a tux.

I blushed. He had gelled his hair back. It looked great.

"Ready babe?" He asked.

I nodded and he grabbed my hand. We walked out. His other car was still in the middle of nowhere. He shrugged and we took a different car.

We drove to a fancy restaurant. Again, I just waited until he ordered for me.

We sat down. His face was practically glowing.

"What? What is it?" I asked.

"Nothing. I...."

I gave him a look and laughed, but continued to eat my food. While I ate my food a got this thought. It was an awful thought.

I knew that Charlie deserved a thousand times better than me. I knew for a fact that he was the best man in the world. And I had known that for as long as I had known him. And I had been so selfish. And it drove me insane for a while. Until I did something I couldn't believe and knew I would regret.

I got up. "Charlie, we need to go home."

"What?!?" He looked at me in disbelief.

"Yes. We need to go home now".

"But babe we....."

"Charlie. Can we please go home?"

He could hear the desperation in my voice.

He stopped eating. He paid the bill and we went out to the car.

Once we got in the car, he looked at me.

He grabbed my cheeks. He couldn't see anything, but he could feel the warm tears.

"Alli, what's wrong?"

I bawled into his chest. Why? Why did I have to do this? Maybe I could just live on like this. It was so comfortable in every way. But I knew I couldn't. It wouldn't be fair to Charlie.

He held me tight. I sat up after a while and he began driving, holding my hand firmly.

Once we got home, I rushed inside.

He was right behind me. I was about to go into my room when he stopped me.

"Alli, baby, what's wrong?"

I grabbed his head and kissed him. I kissed him like I was saying goodbye, and I was.

He kissed me too.

I couldn't let go. Eventually he pulled away. There was fear in his eyes.

"Al... Alli, what's wrong?"

I cried. "Charlie, I was thinking, and for so long, I have been so selfish."

He picked my head up. "No. No. You haven't been selfish".

It think he almost knew what was coming and he was desperate to stop it.

"And I know that you're the most amazing man in the world."

He hugged me tight. "Alli, no. No. No. No. Please, please. Please, please don't do this".

His desperation made me cry even harder. His strong hold on me almost made me change my mind.

"Charlie, help", I whispered,"I don't know how to do this".

"Then don't. Please don't. I'll do anything".

"I know. And that's why you don't need me. I know that I don't deserve you. And I can't continue bing selfish. I can't do this anymore to you".

He was crying out of control.

"No!" He shouted," Even if that was true, I don't care. I don't care who deserves who. I need you. I need you".

His words and desperation. I could barely handle it.

"No. No, Charlie. Please don't change my mind. You deserve way better".

He grabbed and kissed me. It was almost as desperate as mine. "I'll do anything to change your mind. Anything. Don't leave. Please don't leave."

I did my best to escape his firm grip, but knew I couldn't. It broke his heart.

"Are you trying to escape from me? Do you feel trapped here?"

"No! No Charlie! Not at all!"

"I promise I'll quit my job. I'll do anything. I'll spend every second with you".

"You're not making this easy."

Eventually after a long talk, he was too weak to hold on to me. So I ran to my room.

I cried. I couldn't sleep. Why was I doing this to him? To us?

I packed that night. And I wrote him a long, long note.

And at the bottom were the lyrics to my song.

...

I woke up early and put all my things in my car. I placed my fourteen paged note on the counter. The only reason I stopped was because the pen ran out of ink.

I snuck into his room. I kissed him passionately and he woke up. Before he had time to do anything, I backed away. I saw something that broke my heart.

"I love you. I love you so much." I cried as I ran out the door.

He shot up and chased me. He caught me right before I entered the car.

"I'm begging you Alli. Please don't do this."

"I have to".

We were both crying. He knew he couldn't stop me.

"I know. But I have hope that one day you'll come back to me."

"I'll visit a bunch. I'll need a good friend".

He cried at those words. He kissed me. I'm sure anyone who was counting would have lost track of time.

"I love you so much, Alli."

"I love you, Charlie".

I knew the only reason that he let me go was that he was sure I would come back. But I wasn't as sure.

Eventually I climbed into the car.

"You don't know how much I want to just sit right there and run away with you",He said.

I was crying. "Goodbye Charlie. I'll see you soon, I hope".

And I was gone.
