Crazy Love (On-Edit)

Chapter 14: The Truth

Charlie's POV

When I rang the doorbell at her house, I was pretty nervous if... she'll shout at me saying "Get out of my house, weirdo!" Or maybe she'll hit me with her bag again. I mean purse. But I just need to know why--

My thoughts got caught up when I saw Mr. Lightning open the door.

"Good Afternoon, Mr. Lightning. Im Charlie Liverwood." I said politely.

"Charlie? Please come in." He said as he gestures me inside.

I walked inside her house. Nothing changed really. Its still the same as the wall is still white and its like... too clean.

"Look how you've grown. You're a man now." He added.

Im a man now? Really?

"Thank you, sir." I said as I smiled.

"I've been calling you sir and you never answered them." I added.

"Oh yes, I was in the middle of the meeting when you called. Im so sorry for that."

"Oh.. Did I disturb you in any way, sir?"

"No, not at all."

"What brings you here to my house, Charlie?" He asked.

"Oh yes, I was just wondering.... how Alyanna is doing since she's been absent for a week, sir." I asked curiously.

"And you're here to see my daughter?" He said as he smiled at me.

"Is it not a good time, sir?" I asked.

"No, she's just not feeling well. She has a fever.." He said.

She has a fever and she didn't even bother to text me? Maybe that's what I get for being a bad boy! Am I really bad?

"Charlie?" Mr. Lightning said as I got lost at my thoughts there.

"Uhmm... Can I please see here?" I asked politely.

"I don't know. She hates when people see her in her condition."

"Im really worry about her, sir." I blurted.

What did I say? Was I really worried and concern?! What the..

"Really?" He said shockingly.

"Yes, sir."

Even though she doesn't wanna see me, the least I can do is just know if she's alright. I guess I am worried.. Well, she is my bestfriend anyway. I still care for her even if she pushes me away now.. If I could just take back everything that day, I would do it.. But sometimes, there are things that says that way...

"Charlie, are you coming?" Mr. Lightning asked as he walked to the stairs.

"Where are we going, sir?" I asked.

"To my daughter's room." He said.

Man, I gotta stop talking to my head!

"She's been coughing and sneezing the whole time." He added as we walked abreast up the stairs.

"Well, earlier. I went to the mercury and I thought of buying her a mecidine.." I said as I

"Thank you, Charlie. Alyanna is very lucky to have a friend like you.."

Lucky? Its the opposite of that! She doesn't even talk or listen to me now. What she listens right now is what she thinks inside. She can't even open her heart to me. Don't take it like.. Nevermind.

"Here we are..." He said.

"Before we go inside, I just wanna tell you something, sir." I said.

He looked at me.

"Thank you so much for letting me visit her."

"Im sure my daughter will be happy that you came, Charlie." He said as he turned the door knob open and revealed a.... sleeping Alyanna with a tissue in her left hand.

"Well I guess, I should go. Now, go and comfort her." Mr. Lightning said as he pushed me inside and close the door quietly.

I walked to her bed as I grabbed a chair as I sat beside her. She was snoring.

"Are you really asleep?" I asked as I waved my hand on her face.

Then she snored really loud.

"Wow! You can even beat a pig on that!" I said as I chuckled.

She looks cute when she sleeps..

If Im gonna talk to her, she needs to be awake.

I started poking her back as I talk to her.

"Hey wake up! Its already noon!!" I said mockingly.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!!" I yelled slightly.

Then I started to give up.

"Fine. Then I just hope you listen to me..." I said as I rolled my eyes.

I sighed.

"Do you know who I am? Of course you do! Your......" My voice trailed off...

"Bestfriend, Charlie Liverwood.. I'm here to visit you cause I got curious on how you've been absent for a week and also... I'm here to apologized."

"I was worried about you. I'm really sorry for everything that I did to you and about Belle's party. I didn't do that on purpose. I was bump by a guy behind me, that's how I got your dress juiced. Im really sorry..."

What else should I say? I feel like Im talking to myself in this situation.

"You remember the park? I always remember the good times we had when we were bestfriends back then. We were just... carefree, happy-go-lucky, livin' life to the fullest... Until you started ignoring me... after that prank happened. I was pranking Jason, not you because he pranks me all the time. I did that to show him it is not fun to get pranked... And Im just really sorry..."

"I really wish that you could hear everything I said to you.." I sighed and stood up.

"Get well soon, bubbles." I said as I walked out of her room.

As I walked down the stairs, I saw Mr. Lightning, reading the newspaper in the living room. I was standing in the door frame.

"Uhmm.. Sir?" I said.

He puts the newspaper down as he looked at me.

"Oh, Charlie. Did you talk to my daughter?" He asked as he walked towards me.

"No, sir. She was sleeping so.. I didn't bother to wake her up..." I said politely.

"Oh, were you leaving?" He asked.

"Yes. My mom will definitely be angry if I don't. Thank you again and I'll come back soon.." I said as I walked out of their house.

I just hope that she heard me. I hope that she gets well soon...
