Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

31++Surprise Visit

Louis' POV

"Charlie, I'm inlove with you." I suddenly said. I was actually surprised by my own words but I knew that I meant them with all the meaning in the world. I love Charlie Hartley.

"I don't expect you to say it back," I added. "But I just wanted you to know."

"And where the f*ck is Eleanor in this, Lou?" a voice said and I was met with an angry-looking Liam.

"She completely attacked Charlie today, Liam." I explained. "I'm done with her."

"And that means you can just move in on Charlie?" he snapped. 

"What is your problem, Liam?!?" I raised my voice.

"The problem is that you stole Charlie from me!" his voice boomed.

I gasped but I needed to defend myself. "I didn't know that, Liam."

"Everyone else seemed to know! Apparently my feelings for her are pretty damn obvious. So either you're seriously blind or you just don't care about my feelings what-so-ever!" Liam shouted at me.

"Liam, stop it." Charlie begged but he completely ignored her. 

I would never ignore Charlie, I thought to myself.

"She's mine, Lou." Liam sneered.

Charlie broke out of my grasp and came to stand in between us. "I am not anyone's, guys! In case you've both forgotten, I still have a boyfriend!" she yelled and ran off.

"CHARLIE!" Liam and I called after her, giving each other a mean glare.

"Now look what you've done." I shoved Liam before running after her.

"Me? You're the reason she ever cheated on him in the first place. You're the reason for her problems!" Liam fired back.

"Well say that I didn't kiss her in the first place. What if I didn't like her at all? You would've been the one to come in between her and Danny, not me." I pointed out. Liam sighed and I knew I had won this battle. For now at least.

"I'm gonna go see if she's okay." Liam announced but I held him back from going any further.

"Like hell you are." I snapped. "She doesn't even like you."

"You don't know that." he tried but I knew that just by the way Charlie looks at me that I'm the one she wants, not Liam.

"I know it Liam. Everyone on the bloody planet knows it--" I was interrupted by a punch to the jaw. I gripped my face in pain and I was too hurt to look up at Liam. He punched me. Liam Payne actually punched me.

When I finally got the strength to look up at him who was probably smirking his face off, I found that he wasn't there. I looked over to my left and saw him running up the stairs.

He's going to see Charlie.

Charlie's POV

If I had known how Liam felt about me, I wouldn't have told me I like Louis. That must've hurt him so much and I wouldn't want that for him. I wish I could care for Liam like he cares for me but I don't. Not in that way, at least.

Liam is like a protective brother to me, a guy-best-friend who I thought I could count on. I feel incredibly terrible for lashing out on both of them but I just couldn't deal with all of this. Louis told me he loves me but I don't know if I love him back. Sure, I like him a lot and I could see us having a relationship, but I'm with Danny, the one I truly love.
