One Direction - For Better or For Worse

Chapter 16

Charlotte's POV

     I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm going back home to Kansas. No, not forever, only until my grandmother is feeling somewhat better. I have two younger siblings, Sophie who is a sophomore and Luke who is 13,  and they need somebody to take care of them. Right now they are all living with my crazy aunt. Trust me, Sophie, the second oldest, is always calling me telling me how much she hates it there and how Aunt Lea did this and that today. She honestly is pretty scared. My grandma hasn't had the best health lately, plus they just told us she has pneumonia. She has been bed ridden for a week now and the doctor called me to say she isn't getting much better. I'm really scared. I'm scared mostly for my siblings sake because I don't know what will happen to them. I know Aunt Lea won't take them in and we don't really have any other  relatives. I'm also scared of losing her! She was my mother since I never had one! I can't afford to lose her... I don't know what I'm going to do...

Oh ya, one more thing, I haven't told anybody I'm leaving tomorrow. The only one that knows I'm leaving sometime soon is Zayn because he gave me the money. Which I gave back. Every since that one night I just don't feel comfortable around him. He keeps texting me saying he wants to talk but I keep telling him I'm too busy or working and pretty much every other excuse I can think of. I know he likes me and has feelings for me but I love Harry. I can't just throw everything I have with Harry down the drain for one of his friends! That would be just wrong. If we're being honest though, I somewhat like Zayn. I know I'm a horrible person for saying it but it's true! He is so sweet, caring, loving, and generous. But, Harry is also! I can't believe I'm saying this but I feel as if I love them both. I think I'm losing it because I shouldn't have these feelings, right? I'm hoping it's just a fling in my head and that it will pass...

  Anyways, back to me leaving. Harry, Addyson, and the rest of my friends have no idea. I'm going to tell Harry and Adds tonight I just don't know how. I decided I better tell each of them individually face to face. They both know my grandma isn't doing well but they have no idea that it's to this extreme.

   It's only lunch time and Harry is with the boys at a nearby arena because they have a concert tomorrow night. They have been uber busy lately so I haven't exactly been able to tell them anyways. Everyone is coming over later tonight so I might tell them then. Right now I'm cleaning up after lunch and then I'm going to go pack. How are you suppose to pack for a trip you don't know how long you're going to be? I guess I'll just try my best.

    I turn on some music to try and make things go by quicker. I dance around as I got from the closet to my suitcase and back again. I end up packing enough jeans for a week and plenty of tshirts, most of which are Harry's because I love the smell of them, and then the basic necessities. I don't plan on dressing up to go to the hospital anyways so who needs to look nice. I look around the room to see if there is anything else I need to take. Doesn't look like it. I head to the closet and grab the laundry basket, might as well kill some time. Plus Harry has a ton of laundry he needs to do. I guess I'll be a good girlfriend and help him out. I feel kind of bad for all the boys, the fans have no idea how much work goes into these shows, albums, signing, tours, and everything else!

   I headed downstairs with the basket on my hip. I set it down on the laundry room floor and started sorting clothes. I as planning on doing his pants first so I went through his pockets. I found some money, lint, and gum wrappers. Along, with some receipts. For some reason I decided to look at one receipt, not because I'm nosey or don't trust Harry but because it wasn't folded up and crinkled. 

"O my gosh... is this..."

*Later that night*

Harry got home before all the other guys did.
