Fate

Chapter 8

Charlie's dad was working on the door. It seemed to be taking ages for something that I imagined should take 30 minutes. I kept looking nervously at the clock as I knew my mum would arrive soon.

"Can you like tell your dad to hurry up please" I asked Charlie and she glared at me.

"Why cant you he's doing this for free you know"

"Yeah but my mum's coming home soon and she cant know anything about this."

"Fine" She said rolling her eyes and went to speak to her dad.

She came back a few minutes later. "He's finished and he's clearing up his tools"

We heard the front door open and high heels click on the wooden floor.

"Why is Charlie's dad outside" She asked us, we both looked at each other not knowing what to say.

"Um he's picking me up" Charlie quickly said and my mum narrowed her eyes.

"Why is his boot open? It looked like he was packing away something" My mum was always an expert when it came to finding out the truth but this time I hoped she wouldn't.

"He was putting away my stuff, I left a lot of stuff here last week end" Charlie told my mum.

"Why didn't you get Alexandra to give it to you at school?" My mum asked her, I hated it when she called me my full name.

"Oh it was lots of stuff, my dads waiting for me so I have to go. Nice seeing you bye." Charlie said and practically ran out of the door.

"Where are your brothers?" My mum asked.

"Andy's staying in the uni halls for the rest of this week and Joe's upstairs" I said to my mum and she went upstairs to find Joe. I knew she'd want to know what happened to his hand but he was good at lying so would come up with something. I knew he wouldn't tell my mum the actual truth because she'd send him back to anger management classes.

"I'm having a party tomorrow you should come" Niall said to me in form.

"Sure, who else is going?" I asked him.

"Tell Charlie and Harry about it. Louis is going but don't worry he wont bother with you" Niall said which kind of offended me as I still missed him and wanted to be his girlfriend and the fact that he didn't want to talk to me bothered me.

"Thanks" I said sarcastically.

"I didn't mean it like that." He quickly said worried that I was offended.

"Yeah I know, is Sarah going?" I asked him and he went bright red.

"Um yeah, she is" He sounded worried.

"What's wrong don't you want everyone to meet her?"

"Yeah ... but they're all going to tease me" Niall said and I felt slightly sorry for him.

"No they'll be jealous I've seen her profile pic she's stunning" I said to him but he still looked at me as if something was wrong.

"Yeah hopefully" he said and the bell rang which meant that form was finally over.

"Niall told me to tell you that your invited to his party, Harry's coming too" I said to Charlie while we were sitting in the café at lunch.

"I'm coming over yours before the party" Charlie replied, she always gave me makeovers before parties which mostly seemed to make me look worse than before.

"Why?"

"So we can get ready together. I going to make you look amazing Louis is going to see exactly what he's missing." Charlie said and winked.
