The next day I was working in my shop and decided to take my mind off all the drama with the girls. Most of Lydia's group had gone camping in a nearby field, but I decided to stay behind as none of my close friends were going an it may be a bit awkward.
I was wearing a floral off the shoulder top, with some white jeans and my own brand sunglasses.

I was sorting through the racks of clothing when Tom walked in holding a coffee in his hand.
"Hi babe." He said and gave me a hug. "I thought I would give you a coffee to keep you going."
"Thank you." I said and kept him in the hug. "You missed out on a lost last night, I somehow got in a argument with Megan again."
"Babe what have I told you about this?" He said and pushed me away. "You need to let this thing against her go and just move on from things."
"Hold on, she's using my brother and I want to have his back and defend him."
"But why do you always start arguments and make things worse for yourselves?"
"Look if you're not going to listen to what I say, you can go away." I said and turned back.
"Babe...."
"I'm serious." I shouted back. "If you're not going to listen to my side of the story then you need to go."

It's been a few minutes since Tom made his way out and I spotted Jordan walking into the shop.
"Hi" I said and gave him a hug. "So you've come to see the business empire of the world?"
"What would I be doing here then?" He joked which made me laugh. "So I heard that you had an argument with Megan last night. I know that I'm friends with you both but if you need someone to talk to I'm here."
"Thanks. You've probably heard the story but I think that emotions were escalated and things got tense. Like looking back now I should have made more effort."
"I think she would be grateful to here that." He said and gave me a hug. "So what have you been doing?"
"Just managing the store. Tom came in but we kind of had an argument."
"Why?"
"He got annoyed that I had an argument with Megan last night and thought I was trying to make the fight happen. Which I wasn't, I don't want a fight to happen more than the next person"
"I'm sure he'll come to his senses soon and make everything better. I mean who could keep away from a girl like you?"
"Stop it." I said and blushed due to his cheeky smile.
**** Pete and I decided to have a catch up that night and went out for a meal in town with Chloe. I was wearing a white playsuit with the sides cut out and a low front. I still haven't spoken to Tom since the argument we had this morning and he hasn't been home.

"So what's going on in the world of Charlotte?" Chloe said as we waited for our meal to come. "I feel like we needed some recuperation time from that argument last night."
"Yeah I thought that, but it didn't go too well." I said. "I was in the shop this morning and Tom came in, he basically had a go at me and said I was trying to cause the argument."
"But you didn't." Pete said confused. "Why didn't he listen to you?"
"I chucked him out because he was accusing me of so much. I didn't want to hear him accuse me of that." I said and then looked down, tears welling in my eyes. "I don't know what's going on anymore."
"Hey don't get upset." Pete said and put him arms around me. "Have you not seen him since?"
"No, I've been working all day and when I went home he wasn't in for me to have a word. I think he should make the first move as he made me upset."
"Maybe he's just waiting for the right time" Chloe stated. "You know what guys are like, they're scared by us and our ways"
"Speak for yourself." Pete said, which made us laugh. "But seriously girls thanks for having my back. I know you didn't want another argument."
"We were just so angry at the way she has treated you." Chloe said. "You deserve someone who will forgive you and realise you both make mistakes."
"I know and I realise now that me and Megan would never have worked." Pete said. "Which is why I am a bit concerned about Yasmine and Lockie."
"I just want James to be happy and she seems to be suffocating him and making him a different person." I said. "He's been our friend for a long time and he deserved to be happy and comfortable in a relationship."
****3rd Person****
That afternoon at the glamping site the boys decided to do a work out and then they had a chat afterwards.
"So guys I need your help with something?" Jordan said. "I've made friends with Charlotte and I need to tell Megan and them lot about it. I need to somehow make them all friends, so I changed spend time with both of them."
"You have got some job on your hands." Liam said. "Did you see the argument they had the other night?"
"I know but I know they both want to be civil and move on from it all. I just need to be the force that holds them all together."
"So are there any romantic feelings in this?" Myles asked. "Come on we all know you like Charlotte."
"She's a good looking girl, I'm not going to lie." He started. "But I want to be her friend. She is happy in her relationship and I don't want to be known as the other guy."
"Give it time." Jack said which made them all burst out laughing. "I feel like we need to make a bet on this."
