Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

32++It's Not Your Fault

Charlie's POV

"Danny?" I heard Harper gasp.

Danny?

My head whipped around and I came face-to-face with my forgotten boyfriend. There were so many emotions going through me right now and my head was spinning. I felt like I was about to throw up and I was positive that I would at any second.

Danny's eyes looked upon Liam, Harry, Zayn, Louis, down at Harry and Harper's entwined hands, then back to me. There comes the feeling of nausea again, I thought.

"Care you explain anything, Char?" Danny asked harshly.

"Danny, don't--" Harper tried.

"No Harper! Let her explain." he snapped at his sister.

All eyes were on me and I could feel myself burning up. Everywhere I looked was blurring and it was becoming hard to breath. I felt as if there was a lump in my throat, causing me to choke up. If I didn't speak now, I'd probably pass out in a few seconds.

"I'm sorry." was all I could conjure up. Really, Charlie? Really?!?

Danny rolled his eyes. "Oh, well that just makes everything better, doesn't it?" he said with dramatic hand movements and loads of sarcasm.

"Please stay calm." I begged. "I'll explain everything."

"Go on then." he rushed me.

I looked to the boys along with Harper but they were all as intrigued to hear my explanation like Danny was.

"Did you see the picture?" I asked and he nodded. "So, um, well that happened." I said. "We kissed twice after that and that's really all there is to it."

"What?" I heard Louis' voice just below a whisper. I knew I was crushing him right now but I needed to fix things with Danny.

"Did you like kissing him?" Danny curiously asked.

I nodded with a gulp and Harper gave me a furious look. "What? I'm being honest!" I told her but she kept that scowl plastered on her face.

"Why would you do this to me?" Danny's voice cracked. He's so broken, I thought. "I thought you really loved me." So, so broken, I added.

"I do, Danny. I do, I swear." I promised him, taking a step closer but all he did was step back.

After a few moments of silence and I'm sure tons of thinking, Danny finally said, "I believe you."

I sighed of relief but he interrupted my happiness by adding, "But I can't trust you anymore. I don't trust you anymore."

That nearly broke my heart. Wait, no. It did break my heart. Never in a million years did I ever think he'd say that. But, then again, I don't trust myself anymore either. England has been one of the best and worst experiences of my life but it's coming in between Danny and I.

No, stop it Charlie, I commanded myself. Don't blame it on England. You're the one who did this. You're the only one to blame. You've done so much shit and hurt so many people so this is your punishment.

"Danny, I'm so, so sorry." I apologized once again but it still didn't make things right. It didn't change anything actually.

"Charlie, I love you." Danny said and my heart started beating again. "And I forgive you."

I wanted to scream and shout and let it all out, haha, but I contained my happiness the best I could. For now, at least. I'll let my feelings show once Danny officially tells me that we're okay.
