Accidental Love

Chapter 19

Charlotte's POV

I woke up to the sound of a loud car beep from outside. My heart was beating rapidly because the loud sound scared the absolute shit out of me.

When I tried going back to sleep, my eyes would just peel open again. So I just simply gave up and decided to stay awake. When I looked at the clock, it read 10:07 AM. That's ironic, considering I went to bed at four in the morning because of Liam.

Liam.

I got up from the couch and decided to go up and check on him. The way he came stumbling inside last night made me thinking that he drank a lot and would have a painful headache. Before I went up the stairs I grabbed a couple Advil's for him and a bottle of water.

When I made my way upstairs to the guest room, I peeked my head inside and saw that the room was empty and the bed was already made. When I looked around the room for any kind of note, something caught my attention. 

I looked out the window and there he was, sitting at the end of the driveway doing nothing. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and went down the stairs and outside. When I shut the front door, his head shot to my direction and gave me a very small sympathetic smile.

"Hey, why are you out here?" I walked towards where he was sitting, and decided to take a seat next to him.

"Well, I didn't want to wake you up, so I called Niall to come pick me up. Plus I have the worst headache possible and I feel like I'm going to faint any second now." He sighed.

"Here." I dug in my pocket handing him the two Advil's along with the water bottle, receiving a mumbled thanks from him.

After he swallowed the two pills, an almost comfortable silence fell upon us.

"Char I'm sorry." He decided to speak up.

I quirked my head to his direction furrowing my eyebrows, "What? Why ar-"

"Because," he interrupted me, "I said the worst things possible to you the other day, and here you are giving me Advil to help me. I've been a terrible friend to you and I'm sorry. What I said was totally wrong of me and I honestly take back every word. Although I wasn't completely sober last night, what I said to you in the kitchen was true. I've been treating you so terribly and I'm just-I'm so sorry Char."

Every word made my heart flutter. I was honestly over all of this, but I couldn't let him know that. I'm not going to give in that easily.

I sighed, surprising the both of us when I put my hand on the top of his "You know Li, what you did honestly hit me like a ton of bricks, but maybe I overreacted. Yes what you did was wrong and cannot be taken back, but I forgive you okay? I don't think I can stand another day at being mad at you." I slightly chuckled.

"Um..what you said the other day about you know- your personality changing and all that, was what you said true?" He asked, referring to our fight.

I disconnected our hands and put my head down, I didn't know if he could see me barely give a nod to him, but I think he saw because he let out a heavy sigh.

"Charlotte," He started, he used my full name so this must me serious, " Nobody would expect you to stay the same after what happen to your dad, they don't understand because they're not in your position. Yes you have changed, but in a good way. You're now this confident, head strong, beautiful women. The old you was always happy, but at the same time very shy. After what happened, you have stepped out of your little shell, and became the most confident, brilliant, slightly annoying person that I can't seem to let go of."

"Hey!" I hit him in the shoulder because he called me 'annoying.'

Both of us erupted into fits of quiet laughter until I spoke up, "Thank you Li. And I'm sorry for snapping at you, I should have let you talk to me instead of it turning into a screaming match." I smiled.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, so don't say it again. And besides, I deserved the screaming." Slightly agreeing with him, I just decided not to say anything and pick at my nails.

"Hey, we should hangout tonight." He spoke up.

"Yeah, okay. What do you wanna do?" I asked as my palms began to sweat. The stupid ass affects of taking a liking into somebody is now emerging me.

He shrugged, " I don't know, we'll just walk around town." I nodded in agreement.

A black car pulled out beside us, and a very tired looking Niall stepped out.

"You owe me something for this Liam. I have the worst fucking headache, and while I was sleeping peacefully you decided to call me."

I chuckled, "Well hello to you too." Liam replied.

Niall rolled his eyes, "Oh, hey Charlotte." 

"Hey, how many drinks have you had last night Ni? I don't think your eyes could get more red."

He shrugged, "I lost count." He mumbled. I chuckled.

"Okay, well lets get going, I'll text you later, yeah?" Liam asked me, and I nodded.

They both of them got in the car and drove away out of my sight. I went back inside and found Madison still asleep on the couch. I honestly didn't feel like being here at the moment, so I just decided to go home. I left Madison a quick note saying thanks and making sure that she knew I left before gathering all my things and getting into my car.

When I got to my house I got a quick text from Liam.

Liam:) :

Hey! I'm gonna come around 5:00, that okay?

Me :

Yeah! I'll be ready. Xx

When I stepped inside, I was surprised to see my mom on the couch. I decided to ignore her and just went upstairs, but before I could reach the top she spoke up.

"Hey Charlotte, where have you been all night?" She asked me, in a soft tone that seemed almost normal.

I sighed and made my way back down the steps, " And you care why?"

"I just wanted to know where you were.." She trailed off.

I stifled a laugh, "Wow, I'm surprised you remember me even leaving the house last night. I don't see any bottles anywhere. Did you hide them from me already?" My tone was harsh, and not one spec of guilt filled my body.

"Charlottle I-"

"You can't apologize for something if your constantly doing it." I interrupted her before running upstairs to my room.

I can't believe her,what she did is something that is unforgivable and it just irritates me that she thinks I'm going to forgive her so easily.

My lack of sleep was now catching up to me as I let out a yawn. My eyes flickered to my bed finding it looking warm and welcoming. It was only 11:00, so a quick power nap won't hurt right? I'll be up before Liam gets here.

I instantly got into my bed and drifted off into sleep.
