Best Friends

Chapter 11: Being Ok

Charlotte's POV

"So how was school?" Sam asked.

"Sucky," I sighed. "School feels weird without the guys there."

"It'll get better but we have some news," Sam said. I groaned hoping for no more bad news.

"Sweetie, Sam and I are going on a business trip so I need you to call a friend and stay there for the weekend," my mom said taking a bite of her dinner.

"Oh that's fine, I'll go stay with Jason," I shrugged.

"Who?" Sam asked narrowing his eyes.

"Jason, you know, my brother," I said.

"Charlotte, please tell me you didn't meet with Jason," my mom said putting down her fork.

"Too late mom, I've seen him a lot, those 'friends' I've been hanging out with a lot recently, yeah they were actually Jason," I said.

"No way in hell are you going to go stay with him!" Sam shook his head angrily.

"Sam! He's my brother!" I said raising my voice. "I've been over there a billion times and I never encountered dad!" I got up from the dinner table and ran up to my room to call Jason.

"Sam, she's had a tough day today with Luke leaving and I think you need to cut her some slack," I heard my mom say.

"But we don't know him!" Sam argued.

"He's a great boy, it'll be fine, if they've been seeing each other for a while now and he hasn't hurt her then it will be fine," my mom said.

"Hello?" Jason asked, finally answering his phone.

"Hey Jase," I greeted. "Can I stay the weekend at your house?"

"Sure, is mom okay with it?" Jason asked.

"Yes, she's going on a business trip with Sam anyways," I explained.

"Okay, when are you going to get here?" Jason asked.

"I'll be over soon, I can't stand being here for another minute," I said.

"Okay see you soon Char, bye," Jason said.

"Bye Jase," I said before hanging up.

*saturday afternoon*

"You promise dad isn't coming this weekend?" I said putting out my pinkie.

"I promise," Jason laughed linking his pinkie onto mine. "He always tells me when he's coming down to see me."

"Okay, thanks Jase," I grinned hopping off of the couch.

"Oh by the way Char, I'm having a few friends over tonight," Jason said.

"How many?" I asked.

"Only two," Jason said. "Don't worry, they aren't that bad."

"Okay," I nodded. "I'll be in the guest room if you need me."

With that I went into my room and sat on the bed. I checked the time: 4 pm. Luke said they'd call me an hour after they landed so they had some time to get comfortable.

Text from Luke:

FaceTime?

"Hey Char!" Luke grinned.

"Hi! How's London?" I asked.

"It's awesome here, really rainy though," Luke laughed. "Where are you?"

"Jason's house, my mom and Sam are gone for the weekend," I explained.

"Oh well we have our first show tomorrow," Luke said smiling.

"I'm so proud of you boys," I smiled.

"We wish you could be here!" Ashton said coming into view of the camera.

"I'll come visit you all soon," I assured them.

"Char! Come meet my friends!" Jason called from the living room.

"Who's that?" Calum smirked.

"My brother you dork," I laughed. "I have to go now, call me after the show?"

"Yeah, bye Char," Luke waved hanging up the FaceTime.

"Charlotte this is Joel and Nick," Jason said, introducing his friends. "Nick, Joel, this is my baby sister Charlotte."

I slapped his arm when he called me 'baby sister' since he knew I hated that.

"Those guys?! You know them?!" Nick asked pointing at the tv that showed a video of 5 Seconds Of Summer performing acoustically at a park on the tv. They were on E! News and I insisted that we watch it.

"Yes I do," I laughed.

"How do you know them? Is one of them your boyfriend?" Joel asked.

"No, they're my best friends," I said.

"But you obviously like one," Nick smirked.

"No! I don't like any of them!" I defended.

"Well when you start dating one of them, I won't hesitate to say I told you so," Joel said.

"I don't like any of them!" I whined.

"That's bullshit, now come on tell us, which guy is it?" Jason asked.

"None of them!" I groaned.

"We won't tell anyone who it is, seriously Char, you have to have a crush on at least one of them," Nick said.

"You guys will blab," I said. "Anyways I dated Michael for a little and it'd be wrong to date any of them."

"So you do like one of them!" Joel raised his hands in the air in excitement.

"Yes I do but I'm not saying," I said.

"Tell us!" Jason begged.

"Fine!" I gave in. "It's Luke, but don't tell anyone!"

"Okay we won't," Nick grinned.

"He's cute though," Joel teased.

"Whatever," I laughed. "I'm going to bed." I got up and went back to the guest bedroom and got ready for bed.

"Goodnight Char!" the boys chorused from the living room.

I laughed and got into the bed before falling asleep.

It was my last day at Jason's house and Jason had to go work on a project so I was at his apartment alone waiting for him to come home when I heard a knock on the door. I was slightly confused that someone would be here without notice but I decided it was probably just Jason an he had forgotten his keys.

"Charlotte? Why are you here?" the man asked.

"How do you know who I am?" I asked. "Who are you?"

"I'm your dad."
