Accidental Love

Chapter 16

Liam's POV

"Um, you know Liam, you can let me down now. You've been carrying me almost a whole block. You're probably really tired." Charlotte said, with a bit of a chuckle.

I laughed, "I don't mine babe, you're really light."

"Whatever."

After a couple of more blocks, I finally let her down because she wouldn't shut up about it. So, we eventually reached my house.

"Do you wanna stay over?" I asked her.

"Um, sure, I guess."

I led her into my house, and realized my parents weren't home yet. Which doesn't really phase me at all.

"Want anything to eat or drink?"  I asked her, walking towards my fridge and getting some water for my self.

She shook her head, "No thanks."

"So Liam, how did you get so happy all of the sudden back there?" She asked me.

I smiled at the thought in my head already, "Well, right when I came out, I saw you go over to Cody's table and kind of over heard what you said to her. Like, everything."

Her eyes were wide, and her mouth was slightly hung open.

"L-liam. I'm sorry, if that was wrong of me to say then I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to I was honestly just trying to help and I-I"

"Charlotte." I cut her off.

I laughed, "I'm not mad. I'm actually really happy for two reasons. One, is that you told her off for me. And that made me feel lucky that I have you always sticking by my side, so thank you for that." I went over to her and hugged her, her head rested on my chest while my arms were around her neck.

"And two, Cody admitted that she still likes me. Which made me feel ten times more happy, so that means our plan is working and I might have a chance Char! This is great. And I owe it all to you, thank you." I said letting go of the hug. But when she let go her face held a small frown.

"You're welcome Li. What matters to me is that you're happy." Her voice cracked a bit.

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Char, are you okay?"

She shook her head, "Uh, no. I-i just don't feel good. I'm gonna head home. Thanks for today Liam. I'll see you at school." She said, kissing my cheek before leaving without saying another word.

What was that?

Charlotte's POV

I coulnd't take being in there another second. Hearing him say he's happy because Cody still loves him, it hurts me. It hurts me a lot. I know I shouldn't be feeling this way, and I hate myself for feeling this way. But why does it matter anyway? He'll never feel the same, so there's no point. But why can't my heart agree with my mind?

It was almost midnight, and all I wanted to do was go home and sleep. That was my main priority. But what happens when I see Liam at school tomorrow? I know he'll ask me what happened yesterday.

Maybe I should just put an end to this fake girlfriend crap. I'm tired of pretending and I'm really tired of all of these mixed emotions I'm having. Once he goes on with Cody, they'll just hangout 24/7 and I'll go back to being the bi-stander, which I don't mind being.

I know I sound really selfish right now, but I'm sick of all of this. I just want to end it.

I finally got home and instantly ran upstairs to my room, hoping my parents wouldn't hear my presence . I didn't even bother washing my face or changing out of my clothes. I was way to tired. And right away I fell asleep.
