Charlie's POV
After the incident that happened yesterday, I felt guilty telling my girlfriend, Katie Miller about it, so I decided not to tell her.
I hooked her up on a date later at 7pm at Craig's restaurant. I was preparing and wore my best suit.
Before going to Craig's, I went to Katie's house and picked her up. As she went outside, I was stunned by her red dress and light make-up. She looked perfect....and that started to remind me of Bebe; Perfect.
She walked to me and grabbed my arm "You loom stunning!" I complimented her as she started to blush  "Thanks, babe!" She said and kissed my cheek and went inside the car.
*flashback*
"Good morning, love!" I said as Bebe stretched her arms and yawned "Good morning, love!" She replied getting up and started to lean in for a kiss. I stopped her before she could by putting my hand on her mouth "NOPE! Morning breath!" I joked and we laughed.

*end of flashback*
I started to breathe deeply remembering all the good and bad times Bebe and I went through "Babe, are you ok?" Katie asked "*sigh* yeah, just a little visit from the past!" I replied with a cheerful voice but a sad heart "It's Bebe isn't it? Don't worry about it; I'm here! And if you still love Bebe, it's fine for me. Just tell me and I'll let you be with her." She calmly said as tears started rolling down my eyes and I hugged her "Thanks for being her with me..." I thanked and gave her a kiss on the cheek and drove.
Bebe's POV
After performing 'Meant to Be' on American Idol, Nick Jonas, the singer of 'Anywhere', asked me to go out on a date with him, so I said "Yes" cuz why not? "Where do you wanna go?" He asked "Hmmmm.....let's go to Craig's!" I replied as we went inside his Mercedes-Benz SL 500 2005 model and drove to Craig's.
When we arrived there, I saw Charlie and we made eye-to-eye contact and I saw him with my friend Katie Miller. Now I know why he doesn't want me to kiss him. I guess he's with her now. Damn, what do I say? I mean, I haven't seen Katie in a long time.
1 hour later...
We were done eating and was about to head home, and so was Charlie and Katie.
I wanted to talk to Charlie but I was far too scared to do it. When Nick said he was going to pee, I instantly pulled Charlie and went to a dark place to talk "LET GO OF ME!!!" He shouted while hitting my hand not knowing that it was I that led him to this dark place to talk "Charlie, it's me! Bebe!" I said as he stopped hitting me "WHY THE HELL DID YOU TAKE ME?!??!" He shouted "Who's the girl that you're with?!" I asked angrily "Why do you care?!" He shouted once again as I let go of him "You said you don't love me anymore and that hurt me so damn bad! GET AWAY FROM ME!!! LET ME BE HAPPY WITHOUT YOU!!" he shouted once again as that shred my heart to pieces "Charlie....it was a lie...I was afraid that James might know that I still love you....Charlie, I still love you...I loved no one but you..." I said crying "Well, you wanna know what? I love someone else BUT you!" He replied and went to Katie who was looking for him.
Charlie's POV
I went towards Katie and she was looking for me "Charlie, baby, where have you been? I just went to the other side of the car and when I came back, you were gone!" She said in her puppy voice "*sigh* Bebe grabbed me from the bushes just to tell me she loves me!" I replied in an angry tone "Ptff, as if I still love her. The words that came out of her mouth scarred my heart! Gosh, she hurts!" I added as she patted my back and we headed home.
Bebe's POV
Nick came to me and saw me crying "Bebe, what happened?" He asked "Nothing." I replied wiping out my tears "If you're crying, then there's something. Don't act like there's none." He said hugging me "It's just. I saw Charlie and pulled him to talk and brought him to a dark place. I told him that I love him and he said he doesn't love me anymore." I replied as I hugged him tighter.
A few minutes later, we headed home in separate vehicles. I called James and Nick went home in his car.
James arrived with his Silver colored Ford Mustang GT. I went inside to see him mad at me "WHY THE F*CK ARE YOU DATING HIM AND NOT ME?!??!?!" He shouted asking as I dropped my phone cuz of fright "I-I-I-I-I I didn't mean to!" I explained shaking "I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND!!! HOW COME I CAN'T DATE YOU?!?!?!?!" he shouted again as he drove really fast back to our house.
*flashback*
He brought me in his car and drove like a complete lunatic "JAMES, YOU GOTTA SLOW IT DOWN!!!" I shouted as I held on to the seat and kept shouting.
*end of flashback*
"JAMES, WHAT THE F*CK!?!?!?!?! SLOW DOWN!!!!" I shouted at him "SLOW DOWN?!?!? YOU SLOW DOWN!!! SLOW DOWN WITH GUYS, BEBE!!!! YOU'RE MINE!!!" He shouted back as all I could do at that time was hold on to the dashboard and brace for impact if anything happens.
Minutes later...
We arrived safely at home and cops are already looking for James for breaking the speed limit.
James and I went inside and slept. I couldn't sleep that night thinking of what had just happened Cops are looking for James...they're all that can help me...I need to tell them. I thought to myself as I got out of bed slowly so I won't wake James up.
I opened the door "Where are you going?" He asked "J-Just gonna go drink some water." I replied as he got up and my heartbeat began to rise. He put his hands on my arms and gently rubbed it "Hey, I'm sorry I scared you earlier...I was just worried-sick." He explained as I held his hands and removed them from my arms "It's fine....really." I said as he went back to sleep and I went downstairs.
I heard the cops stop in front of our house and started to examine James' car "That's the one. Who's it registered to?" One cop said "Let's see....hmmm...James Barron." The lady cop replied as I went outside.

Before going outside, I wore a bathrobe to cover my body "Officers!" I called "Hi, I'm Matt Davis and this is my partner, Hannah Baker. I just wanna ask: is this where James Barron lives?" The male cop asked (Th1rteen R3asons why reference!) "Yes. This is where he lives." I replied in complete worry "Wait, isn't this Bebe Rexha? You're James' girlfriend, right?" Officer Baker asked "Yes, officer." I replied "Well then, why are you condoning this?" She asked again "Because, he never treated me well...nor right...and I have had enough of it! He knew that I was gonna go to an interview and when I came home, he threw a bottle of whiskey near me and kept shouting at me!" I replied raising my voice "Well then, let's get this punk." Officer Davis said as they went inside our house and into our room.
James was waiting on the edge of the bed for me. As soon as he saw me, he got up from his bed "Does drinking water consist of many minutes?" He asked with a smirk on his face "Well...." I said as the officers came inside the room and I crossed my arms "What's the meaning of this?!" He asked raising his voice "James, I'm sorry I have to do this..." I apologized "Sir, do you know how fast you drove?" Officer Davis asked putting his hands on his hips "to be exact, o-o-one hu-hundred fifty miles per hour." James replied shaking "And did you know that the speed limit is 60 miles per hour?" Officer Baker asked "Y-Y-ye-yes, Ma'am." He replied "Come with us." They said as they put hand cuffs on his hands "BEBE HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!" He shouted "You never treated me like a girl." I replied "Take him away." I added as they took James to the police station and arrested him.
I was gonna go to bed, but I thought of going to Charlie's house to apologize. Again.
I wore my BEST FLIPPIN CLOTHES to at least look decent for Charlie. As I went there, I felt my heart pound so hard in my chest. When I arrived, I quickly asked the guards to let me in, and they did cuz they know who I am and surprisingly, Charlie didn't ban me from his house.
I rang the ddoorbell but didn't say a word. Charlie was all alone in his house and answered the door "Charlie, I called the police to arrest James for driving 150 in a 60 lane." I said and hugged him "I'm so sorry!" I apologized. He didn't say aanything instead he pushed me away and slammed the door on me.
I started to cry and the rain started pouring down. I grabbed my Beats headset and played the song on shuffle. I didn't care what the hell plays — music was the only thing that would help cure me even for a little bit and a little while. In the exact moment, my song 'Grace' started playing and it led me to tears in deeper pain.
When I got home, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened, so I sang myself to sleep — I sang another one of my songs, 'Pillow' and it made me cry even more.
"I just wanna kiss your face, I just wanna feel your gaze, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna be where you are. I just wanna feel your touch. I'm not asking for too much, I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna wake up where you are. I used to think that love was just so easy, but I couldn't be less right, yeah. I finally found someone perfect just for me, gotta fly thousands of miles. I'll be alright, just one more night, I'll be just fine holding my pillow, pretending it's you, though. I'll be alright, just one more night, I'll be just fine holding my pillow, pretending it's you, though. I need a minutes to breathe you in, just a second to taste your skin. I just gotta, I just gotta feel you here right next to me. Can we please just go back in time? Those lazy Sundays you and I? Cuz every hour and every day, gets more painful when you're away. I'll be alright, just one more night, I'll be just fine holding my pillow, pretending it's you, though. I'll be alright, just one more night, I'll be just fine holding my pillow, pretending it's you, though. And I can't lie, babe, I'm losing my patience, too much waiting for you. Every time that I wake up, my hands go where I'm waiting for you. I know that I say that I'm fine but I'm losing my mind — just need to hold you. Don't take your time, oh, baby!! I'll be alright, just one more night, I'll be just fine holding my pillow, pretending it's you, though. I'll be alright just one more night, I'll be just fine holding my ppillow pretending it's you, though...." I sang and cried a lot. I didn't get much sleep that night. In fact, I didn't even sleep — I just cried and cried and cried about Charlie.
