No One Ever Comes Close To You

Chapter 10.

to say I was heartbroken about leaving Aston would be an understatement. Taking all my things from the house and watching his face fall as he saw me do so, an image I know will be printed in my mind for a long time. I got back to Katie's which would be my temporary home until i find a place of my own and took the boxes into the room i was staying in, piling them in the corner. i wasn't sure what i'd do with them for now, nothing in there was things i desperately needed so they could wait.

"Things will lighten up for you soon," katie said from behind me as she walked into the bedroom to see my just staring at the boxes in the corner, seemed strange to other people but to me it made perfect sense.

"i know, i'm going to miss him," I shrugged.

"You'd be lying if you said you weren't, you were together for a long time but the pain will ease," she promised me, wrapping her arm around me and giving me a one armed hug.

"i hope so," i whispered, taking in the comfort from my best friend.

"Get you back out there," she giggled.

"I'm far from that point at the moment, for now i'm staying completely single..moving on is at the bottom on my list of things to do," I giggled with her.

"Understandable but once you're ready you'll have guys falling at your feet in no time," she winked.

"hm we'll see about that," i smiled and looked at her as she gave me a proper hug, something i needed.

-

it was after dinner, katie and i were sitting in the front room having a bit of chat even though i wasn't in the best mood because of what happened earlier. Katie was the one doing the most talking while i added in the odd comment every now and again. the only thing that brought me attention was the door bell, katie getting up to answer it. i waited while she took a couple of minutes answering the door before looking up at the living room door creaked.

"Hey grumpy," Charlie chuckled as he walked into the room, an instant smile coming upon my face.

"What are you doing here?" i gasped, accepting his hug as he opened his arms for me.

"Came to see my girl, i heard she wasn't in the best of moods," he smiled.

"Mm," is all i said, my smile dropping as i was reminded of earlier.

"Comes in Mils, tell me whats happened," he said, pushing me down on the sofa.

"I'll get some drinks," katie smiled and walked out the room, into the kitchen.

"I can only guess this is to do with Aston.." he said.

"Yeah, you should've seen his face when we went to get the rest of my things earlier," i sighed.

"Was it that bad?" he asked.

"I feel like the worst person in the world," i groaned.

"Don't think that, he made all this happen," reminded me.

"I know but we could've worked it out,"

"I don't know babe, if it was that bad to make you leave then i don't think you could,"

"I was mad at him then, i've let it go..maybe i should've gave it another go,"

"No you shouldn't have, you told him this would happen.." katie said as she walked back into the room, balancing three drinks in her hands.

"Yeah but i think he really is sorry, i miss him," i frowned.

"But who says he won't go and do it again? its more than likely," charlie shrugged.

"Then i know its over for good, i just think maybe i should've thought about this more,"

"All you've done is think about it! you might miss him now but you've only just gone, soon it'll pass and you'll realise you did do whats right," katie assured me, sitting the other side of me, turning the tv down on the remote so we could talk better.

"But what if i regret it even more instead?" i asked, looking down at my knees. i did regret leaving him and although it probably is for the best i still have that doubt in my mind that what i did was wrong.

"You won't, you probably find someone else and it'll be easier," charlie said, sounding more than sure.

"What if he moves on first?" i gulped, thinking back to when i saw him and this girl yesterday.

"Then we go out and find you a man, i won't let you make the same mistake Mils," Katie sighed.

"Thats my own mistake to make, i want to be happy and i'll do what i think is best for myself," i frowned, looking up at her "and not what you tell me."

"I didn't mean it like that, i meant i'll do anything i can to stop you from getting hurt again," she explained.

"I understand that but i can make my own mind up," i told her, she nodded and looked down at her drink and i instantly felt bad for having a go at her.

"I'm sorry Katie, i didn't mean to sound harsh..i know you only want to help," i sighed, she nodded and took a sip of her drink.

"Don't be like this, i said i'm sorry," i frowned.

"Yeah but you need to stop being ungrateful, i've helped you out a lot and you throw it back in my face a lot," katie mumbled.

"Girls don't argue, its not what Amelia needs right now," Charlie added in.

"There it is again, its always about Amelia..every conversation is about her and Aston, i'm tired of it!" she said, raising her voice and placing her glass on the coffee table.

"You're being slightly selfish Katie," Charlie frowned.

"I'm being selfish?! hardly..all i've done is think about Amelia lately!" Katie said, standing up and looking down at her.

"I'm sorry, if you felt like that then you should've said.." i told her, looking back up at her.

"I haven't had the chance, too busy listening to you and worrying," she told me.

"I didn't mean to make it all about me,"

"Whatever Amelia," she hissed and walked off, heading towards her bedroom. a few seconds later and her bedroom door slammed leaving me and charlie in silence, i turned to him.

"Leave her to cool down," he smiled a little.

I nodded, "i don't know where that came from."

"Me either, she's being a bit childish..she's come around,"

"Hopefully, i can't lose her too.." i sighed, looking down.

"You won't," he said and put his arm around me, dragging me into a tight hug. this day couldn't have gone worse. this evening had swerved out of control, i hadn't expected that and had no idea that i was making it all about me. i felt more than bad.

Sorry it's a bit boring, more will happen soon.
