Things Change

3 - Alcohol

Leondre's POV:
I had been texting Charlie the rest of the day. I had tried to call him too, but it was pretty obvious that he wouldn't answer. I sent the whole explanation in several texts and I just hoped that he would read it. Chloe was still crying. She had been trying to text him and call him too, but without success. I just hoped that he wouldn't do anything stupid.

It might seem a little weird that all this drama happened because of me and Chloe hanging out. But Chloe had sort of completely ignored Charlie for weeks now so I completely understood him. It must have been so weird having a girlfriend that doesn't talk to you and then a best friend lying to you. And when you show up at your best friend's house you realize that your girlfriend was with him all the time.

I just wished that I could change everything, but I couldn't and I still can't.

Charlie's POV:
I had been crying for days. Sure, I hadn't seen them do anything, but the instinct told me that something wasn't right. I mean for what other reason would Chloe ignore me for weeks and Leo lie to me? Isn't that pretty obvious...? But I still can't believe why they would do that. I mean, they had never hung out, only because of me. But for what other reason would Chloe start to ignore me at the same time as Leo started lying to me? I just couldn't make it make sense if she hadn't been cheating on me with him.

I sat on my room. Mum had been gone to work and I was suppose to babysit Brooke. But I mean she's like 10 years old, I think she can handle herself. I wasn't sure if I could handle myself though.

I decided to open some of Leo's texts and just see what he wrote.
'We haven't done anything! It's not what you think! We would never do that to you!'
I decided to answer on it.

'Then why was she at your place?'
Sent.
It didn't took long before Leo answered.
'I can't tell you, but please believe me.'
Okay, that was it. He couldn't even tell me, I'm his best friend. He seemed to trust Chloe way more than me. And same with Chloe, she talked way more to Leo while she completely ignored me.

I walked down to the kitchen and opened the fridge. I took out a few beer and walked back into my room. This was the only reason to make me forget everything for a while.

So I started to drink. And I didn't stop. Not until I was lying on the floor and couldn't move. I laid there for a while until I managed to stand up again. I walked down the stairs, or at least tried, I don't even remember if I fell.

"I'm going out for a while." I tried to shout to Brooke, but I don't think someone would have been able to understand a word I said.

I walked out of the house and started walking down the street. Then I arrived at the white small house. I knocked on the door and even though everything started to get blurry I recognized the voice to the person that opened. Beca, Leo's girlfriend.

"Charlie, are you okay?"
That's all I heard before I fell to the ground and everything went black.

-----

I woke up on a couch in what seemed to be a living room. I heard a familiar voice talk on the phone with someone, but I couldn't figure out who the familiar person was.

My head hurt like hell and I could barely open my eyes. When I managed to, I looked around in the room. I was really confused, I didn't know where I was and I didn't know how I got there.
"He's awake now, gotta go. Bye." I heard the familiar girl voice say before the person walked into the living room and sat down beside me on the couch.

"How are you feeling?" The voice asked and I looked up at the person in front of me. It was Beca. What the hell was I doing... Oh.
I got flash backs from everything. I looked out of the window and realized that I must have been here all night, 'cause the sun was shining outside.

I had told Beca about Leo and Chloe and she had got pretty mad and said that we should do the same thing to them. I really hoped that we hadn't done anything.

"I'm a bit dizzy..." I said painfully. Beca looked at me with a grin.
"I must say that you were pretty wild." She replied.
What? What did she mean?

"What do you mean?" I managed to say through the pain.
"Don't you remember last night?" She asked about confused and looked at me. I slowly shook my head and looked back at her.
"Oh, honey. Sorry, I shouldn't have given you so much alcohol." Beca answered and looked a bit sadly at me.

She stroked her hand against my chin and then without that I could even react she kissed me on the cheek.
"I'm gonna go get you some water." She smiled and walked out to the kitchen.

Okay, what was that? What had I done? Suddenly I got more flashbacks. I saw me and Beca in her bedroom and... Ugh, I don't even wanna think about it. I truly hoped that it was all just a dream.

She came back with the water and handed it to me.
"Thanks." I said and took the cold glass. I drank all of the cold, fresh water and handed it back to Beca.
She looked at me weirdly. Like, seriously, what is she doing?
Suddenly she leans closer to me, which means that she almost lied down on top of me, since I lied down on the couch.

And then she presses her lips against mine. I have to admit that they tasted really good. I was just about to kiss back when I realized what I was doing. It was Beca, not Chloe! What am I doing?!

I quickly pushed her away and she looked confused at me.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled in shock.
"I thought you...?" She started, but I think she was almost as shocked as me.
"I'm in a relationship with Chloe and you're with Leo!" I said and looked at her.

"Oh, honey. Don't you remember what they did to us?" Beca asked while moved her hand up on my chest. I had never seen her like this before, and if I had it would've been with Leo, not me. "They don't love us anymore."

Suddenly I remembered yesterday when I had seen Leo and Chloe together, but something didn't feel right. What if they hadn't done anything?

I started to feel really bad. Beca was really close to my face again so I just pushed her off and stood up. Even though it hurt like hell I walked over to the front door.
"I'm leaving." I said shortly without turning around to her.

"But Charlie, come on. We can watch a movie and-" Beca started, but I interrupted her.
"Leave it, Beca." I replied and opened the door.
"Fine, then I'll tell Leo that you raped me." She said.

I stopped walking and turned around to her.
"That I what?" I asked and stared at her.
"That you raped me."
"And why would you say that?"
"It's called blackmailing, stupid."
"And why would he believe you?"
"Because I'm his girlfriend."
(Am I the only one that are thinking of the song "Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" by Panic! At The Disco?)

Shit.
"Well, then tell him that. Tell him whatever you want, I don't care." I said and with that I walked out of the house and I'm pretty sure that I will never go back there again. Ever.
