Left Behind

Chapter 4

Sophia's POV

I finally have what I've always wanted. I know I've said it before as well when Charles and I had just started dating but this somehow feels more special. I know that I am in love with him. I am always so happy whenever I am around him.The thing that is making me even happier is that Charles is as happy as he was when he had begged me to go out with him and I had said yes. He was literally over the moon. He is exactly the same now.

The only thing that is bothering me is Katherine acting weird. I mean she is happy for me but when I asked her if I should bring Charles to the party that Eleanor's mom is hosting, she said that it would be better if I just enjoyed it with my friends. That is really weird because even Eleanor is bringing Liam. She just disclosed this news to us a week ago but apparently they've been going out for three weeks.

I just hope Liam doesn't break her heart again. I would hate to see her get hurt again. She has been over the moon these past days and I'm really happy for her. She has been talking to Katherine less and less and even though Katherine hasn't said anything to me but I think it's pretty obvious that Kathy wants to speak to Eleanor about something. I just don't know what.

It feels like nowadays everybody is hiding something from me. But that has to be just my imagination. I mean I've been way too busy with Charles to think about anybody else. I know it's pretty selfish but I just want to enjoy this time fully because to be honest, I feel like he will leave me again. Whether or whether I don't make a  mistake.

I know it's shitty for me to stay in a relationship like this. Kathy's annoying voice keeps reminding me of that even though she hasn't said it to my face since we got back to where we are now.

Babe answer meeeee!!

I text Charlie. I've sent him a billion messages in the past half an hour but he hasn't replied to me since yesterday night. I don't know maybe I'm being overly clingy but ugghhh I'm just so glad to have him back. I can't help it.

Katherine usually laughs at me when I say stuff like this to her but nowadays she just gives me a tight lipped smile when I jokingly complain about him.

Miranda's POV

"OMG! OMG! WHAT SHOULD I DO KATHY?!!" I yell into my phone.

"First of all calm down!" Katherine replies laughing through the phone.

I just told Kathy that I said yes to going on a date with Louis after he has been begging me for three months. He was just being too sweet an hour ago which was 3am today and I couldn't say no. I just can't say no to him.

"Kathy, I can't believe I'm dragging him down with me again.." I say.

"Listen sweetie, don't beat yourself up for it. He knows exactly how you feel and yet he is still asking you to date him 24/7. I know you feel really guilty about this and I don't completely support you guys being in a relationship where you are not sure about your feelings but he knows what he is signing up for," she says comforting me.

"I know you're just saying that to make me feel better."

"No I'm not. Listen, you really shouldn't have said yes to him after you've been so strong for the past three months but now that you have, be brave enough to confront it. He's been with you through everything. So you owe him a face to face explanation on that date, you know."

"Yeah..you're right. Will you at least come to my house tomorrow to help me get ready for the date? I'm really nervous."

Despite me dating him before for almost a year, I'm still nervous for this date.

"Yeah of course. Anything you need."

"Thankyouuuu. You're the best. I don't know what I'd do without you. By the way, I haven't told anybody about it. Not even Sophia even though she is our second biggest supporter after you ofcourse," I say finally letting a laugh escape my mouth.

"Hahahah. I gotta go now. It's almost 5 now. I have to get some sleep at least. See you tomorrow." Kathy says.

"Byeee. Love ya."

"Love ya too."

Emma's POV

These past few weeks have absolutely been the worst weeks of my life. I have to see my best friend date and be over the moon with the guy I'm in love with. If that isn't torture I don't know what is.

I know I should listen to Kathy and stop talking to Liam. But no matter how hard I try, my fingers just type a message to him. And I don't ether it's the worst part or the best part but Kathy actually understands me doing this instead of degrading me like Sophia. I know she just wants the best for me. But I really can't help it.

Heyyy my fav little sis

I receive a message from Liam. We agreed that we're siblings a long time ago but my feeling are quite the opposite but he doesn't know that. It pains me to see him call me that.

Don't call me thattt. And anyway I'm two months older than you.

Fine. I won't call you my sister, love. Calm downnn.

So how's it going with El?

Seriously? We talked about me yesterday. And today we're gonna talk about you. So shut up and tell me how was your day?

How can anyone not fall in love when somebody says this?

Same old. Same old. Thank god today was Friday. I fucking hate my school.

Aww baby..what happened?

I failed the third economics test in a row even though I studied so frickin hard for it! Uggghhh

Oh damn :/. Don't worry i know you'll figure out how to talk to your sir and ask him to explain all he topics to you.

Yeah..I guess you're right.

Love, I gotta go. El's calling. I'll text you later.

Fine. Go.

Oh come on. Don't be sad.

What do you care? Go talk to your girlfriend.

Em, baby..come on. Why are you acting like this? I promise I'll call you in a bit.

Fine. Bye.

I love you. Take care.

My heart instantly starts beating hard in my chest. Every time he says that, I start feeling like this. And I really need to look at what I say. I can't believe I said that to him. God I gotta call Kathy and talk to her about all of this.

Eleanor's POV

These three weeks have been the best weeks of my life. I swear dating him feels much better than being unofficially dating like before. God I've missed him so much.

I know they say you truly know the value of something once you lose it. But I think I've realised that I love him even more than humanly possible after we've started talking again and dating. This time around if I lose him, I just know I will die without him.

Because every breath that I take is full of him. Everything I do or say is filled with the though of him. He fills every fibre of my being. God I love him soooo much!!
