I Found a Place In My Dreams (Charlie Jones/Over Atlantic)

1.5

As soon as Danielle left, Charlie ran up to his room with no explanation.

Without hesitation, I followed him to find out if he was okay. I don't care if we're not exactly talking right now, if he's upset then as a friend I need to be there for him.

I reached his bedroom door and knocked on it slightly waiting for any sort of signal that he was in there.

Since I couldn't hear anything, I gently pressed my ear against his door and hoped this would make things a bit clearer.
It wasn't long until I heard light sobbing coming from the other side of the door.

I opened the door ever so slightly before saying "Charlie, it's me. Can I come in?".

"Taya, I don't rea-"

"I want to talk to you.." I interrupted.

The crying came to a stop when I suddenly felt the door open. Before I could process what had happened, Charlie had already dragged me into his room and closed the door behind me so the others didn't hear or see that he'd been crying.

Silence filled the room as we both perched on the edge of his bed.

I took in his appearance. He had tears steaming down his face and his checks were bright red from crying. The only sparking in his eyes was the thin layer of tears which covered them.

He looked at me blankly yet with so much hope.

Before either of us could speak, I launched myself forward and engulfed him in a hug. He began to let out small whimper as he slowly melted in my arms. He threw his arms around me as I rubbed his back and telling him it was okay to be upset.

He soon calmed down and the tears had stopped. We were now sat opposite each other still on his bed as I played fiddled with his duvet that neatly covered his bed.

"I feel like an idiot. I'm not even upset about the Danielle thing, to be honest I'm kind of glad she left" he admitted as his eyes wandered around his room, trying to avoid eye contact.

I was so curious as to why he was happy that Danielle left but instead I asked why he was so upset.

"What made you so upset then?" I asked as I frowned.

He finally made eye contact with me as he gulped.

"I've messed up, Taya" he said sadly, looking down at his lap.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well you all obviously hate me because of what Danielle said, and at Bluewater she made it so obvious that she didn't like the fan so I'm scared the word will get around and people will hate me" he blabbered on as he began to fiddle with his thumbs.

I placed my hand on his to try and comfort him but noticed him stiffen as I did so. I brushed it off and slowly removed my hand from his.

"Of course we don't hate you, Charlie! No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hate you!" I laughed and so did he "And she's irrelevant now. She left and she's not coming back, she's not worth it"

He nodded and slightly smiled.

"Thank you, Taya. I know we haven't really been talking that much recently but it's nice to know that you care"

"Anytime" I replied back as I began to stand up.

"Wait, can I ask you something?" he suddenly said as he took ahold of my wrist before quickly letting go, which I found odd.

"Sure, what's up?" I said as I sat back down.

"What's going on between you and Liam?" he said as his face washed over with betrayal and disappointment.

I let out a small laugh causing him to pull an extremely confusing expression.

"I can assure you nothing is going on!" I laughed.

"But the hugging? And the kiss on the top of your head? And you holding hands?"

"We were just joking around and he was comforting me, like I did to you just now..." I compared.

"So nothing is going on?" he asked once again.

"Nothing at all."

Charlie's POV

Taya just compared her and Liam to her and I...

Does she see nothing between us at all? I like her so much and I just wish she liked me back but I know that will never happen, especially after today.

The only reason I starting seeing Danielle was to try and get my mind off of Taya and maybe develop feelings for Danielle instead, I know that's bad but that argument made me like Taya even more. The fact that she stuck up for us and our fans when none of us even had the guts to is a big thing and I appreciate it so much. I just wish she understood how much I appreciate her.

She soon left my room to return back downstairs though her perfume still lingered in the air.

I loved the smell of her perfume. It. weirdly made me feel so much more at ease with any situation from the illusion that she was there. I like her so much.

Wow. I've fallen for Taya.
