Accidental Love

Chapter17

Charlotte's POV

Screw Liam. He's just another person in my life who is an acquaintance to me. I didn't know what to do now, or what to think since he's no longer a part of me, and by that I mean he's not going to be by my side all the time now, how could I be so stupid and just expect the best between me and him? He's obviously just going to leave me in the end, which he did, but it was just so soon you know?

People tell me all the time not to trust people until you get to know them, and when you get to know them that person is trustworthy. Well that's the biggest piece of bullshit I've ever heard, I've known Liam for such a long period of time, and he left, like I was worthless. He doesn't care about me, so why should I care about him. It doesn't matter anyway.

When I pulled into my driveway, I noticed my mom's car there and I really don't wanna deal with her right now, so I pulled out of the driveway. I sent Madison a quick text saying that I'm sleeping over, getting an 'Okay' from her.

When I got out  of the car, I knocked on her door. It wasn't really necessary for me to literally pound on the door, but you can't blame me, I was furious.

Madison answered the door with a sweet and sincere smile, but once she saw my face, her face turned into a frown/serious expression.

"Are you okay?" She asks me as I stepped inside.

"What makes you think I'm not?" I snapped.

She scoffed,"Well you've got a bit of an attitude, you're clenching your fists, and your face has this expression that says 'I'm going to kill somebody."

I looked down at my hands and uncleaned them, and put on a more soft expression.

I took a deep breathe, "Liam got me fricken pissed off back at school today."

"Oh gosh, what'd he say?" She asked me as we both say down on the couch.

"I'm so tired of being his fake girlfriend Madison, I know I'm doing it to help him but I'm just so tired of it and it seems like he's got everything under control anyway. So, I told him I was sick of this plan and I'm done with it, and me being me I didn't do it in the best attitude. We just pretty much yelled at each other until he brought my dad into the conversation. He said I've changed ever since he...just disappeared, and that's when I seriously got mad. I told him were not friends anymore and called him some names, and then I just left."

"He has no right to say that to you, Char no matter what he says you're still the same person I met 8 years ago. Maybe a little bit taller, well not that much taller, but my point is that you shouldn't take his crap, if he has no respect for the conflicts in your life, then he's no friend."

I groaned, "But I have changed Madison! And he is right, I'm not as nice, helpful. I lost all of my friends because of how mean I was to them, and how much I would cry. The only person or people that would stick by me was you and Liam. But now it's just you because Liam is no longer a figure in my life I look up to. So, he's right, I have changed."

Madison shook her head multiple times,"Babe, you are who you are. You haven't changed one bit, I mean what does he expect? You to be the same happy person after your dad left you? No. He's insane if he thinks that. But you know, he was mad and we know Liam when he's mad. He doesn't know what he says until after he said it, so maybe he realizes now that it was a mistake. He wouldn't say that to you in a million years and you know that."

I touched the silver cross that was calmly lying on my chest, and pressed it to me as hard as I could. I got more relaxed and calmer, when I touch the cross I feel like he's with me. My dad. He's helping me in some sort of way.
