You Belong With Me

21.

Stoffel had come home and it was just Charlie and Stoffel in the apartment as Anna and Max were both busy. Stoffel had gotten two blankets, ice cream for Charlie and had set up a film on Netflix. "Come sit, tell me everything" Stoffel said as Charlie walked in the living room, he was already on the sofa under the blankets. Charlie sat down next to Stoffel putting her legs over his with a big sigh. "I feel used" Charlie stated, she hadn't told Stoffel anything yet about what happened between her and Luke. "Wait what's happened, is it Luke? Do I need to sort him out?" Stoffel joked being over protective. "God no please. He...... He cheated on me" Charlie confessed, all the feeling from the night before came back to her. Stoffel didn't say anything for a while he just pulled his best friend close to him placing his arm round her.

"He just straight up told me he had cheated on me with someone he had history with, while I was here waiting for him." Charlie explained after a few minutes of silence. All the memories of her and Luke had come back to her and she started to get teary. "Oh Charlie I'm sorry. At least you know now it wasn't meant to be." Stoffel said straight. "I know but I liked him Stoff, I really did." Charlie sobbed. "I know, I know you did. But come on he's a dick who doesn't deserve a beautiful, wonderful girl like you. You'll find someone else." Stoffel felt so bad for his best friend, he knew how much Charlie liked Luke. "I have no luck with boys" Charlie sighed. "You'll find someone" Stoffel kissed her forehead as she snugged into his side. They both sat there watching a film as Charlie felt her eyes getting heavy from crying and fell asleep.

Anna had walked through the door to see Charlie asleep on Stoffel. "Hey babe, I would come and greet you but she's had a rough few days and I don't want to wake her." Stoffel said. Anna came to sit on the other side to Stoffel being careful not to wake Charlie. Anna kissed Stoffel. "Shit what's happened" Anna looked concerned for her friend. "Luke cheated on her" Stoffel said running his fingers through Charlie's hair. "Shit! She liked him a lot as well." Anna knew how much Charlie liked Luke.

As Stoffel was explaining to Anna max walks through the door rather loudly. "Hey I'm home!" Max shouts. "Shhhhh" Stoffel shushes max. "Why?.....oh sorry" max says once he sees Charlie asleep on Stoffel lap. However this woke Charlie up. She has mascara stained down her cheeks from crying. "Heyyy you okay?" Anna said quietly. "Umm no not really but I need to move on and carry on" Charlie said looking to the floor. Anna pulled Charlie in to a hug. "Thank you Stoff, I really needed this today" Charlie said hugging her best friend. "Anything for you" Stoffel hugged her back. "Charlie I hate to do this but I need Stoff, I've brought him new clothes which he needs to try on" Anna said as she had been shopping. "Hmm you want to try clothes on and off" Stoffel smirked. "Ew, disgusting" Charlie chuckled as Stoffel picked Anna up in bridal style carrying her to the bedroom.

Max was still stood at the door with his suitcase, when Stoffel and Anna left he took Stoffel's place on the sofa. "Everything okay?" Max studied Charlie face. "Um it's just Luke" Charlie admitted. "Oh why what's happened." Max looked concerned. "I don't really want to talk about it but we broke up." Charlie said still very emotional about the situation. "That's okay if you don't want to talk,I just hope you're okay" max said, a lot had happened between him and Charlie and he didn't know how to act. "Thanks, well done at getting 3rd it's amazing!" Charlie congratulated Max, max smiled feeling proud.

It had been a week since Charlie and Luke had broke up and Charlie was sat in her room looking at all the pictures, texts and videos her and Luke had together. Anna came into Charlie room and jumped on the bed next to her and took her phone out her phone. "Right what you need is a night to get absolutely mortal (mortal is a British slang word for extremely drunk) forget about Luke. So tonight me and you are going out just the two of us and we're going to have the best time." Anna said. "I don't know Anna, I mean it's a lovely offer I just don't feel up to it." Charlie declined. Anna just laughed. "Um it's not an offer it's an order." Anna said as she started too flick through Charlie's wardrobe for clothes.

Charlie didn't bother arguing with her as she hasn't been out in what felt like forever, Charlie hadn't actually left the house for a week she's been so upset. Even know it was 7 o'clock it was still quite warm in Monaco. Charlie was wearing black denim shorts that were extremely short and showed the majority of her arse, with a white bralette that was basically a bra. Anna wore a mini denim skirt and a black crop top that only covered her boobs. They did their makeup getting really glammed up for clubbing. Both girls wore heels to make themselves taller. Charlie didn't feel very confident as she isn't used to wearing clothes that revealed this much.

The boys were sat on the sofa talking about the next races coming up. Anna and Charlie went in the kitchen for some pre drinks. Anna had 8 shots of tequila lined up, 4 each. "Here's to a good night that we won't remember!" Anna cheered while playing some music on her phone. Charlie felt the alcohol burn her throat, Charlie wanted to enjoy herself and stop thinking about Luke. Anna was on a mission to get herself and Charlie really drunk and Charlie was going with the plan. When Anna clicked shuffle on her phone the best song came on 'unbreakable smile' by Tori Kelly. Charlie and Anna started to sing along, the boys over heard them and walked into the kitchen.

"What's going on here? Going out without us?" Max laughed. "Yep! I'm taking Charlie out to get absolutely smashed and take her mind off Luke" Anna said pouring herself and Charlie and another drink. "You're gonna be drunk before you even get there." Max said observing the fact that had already had 4 shots. "Um Anna can I talk to you privately" Stoffel said sternly walking towards the bedroom. "What's up?" Anna smiled. "I don't think it's the best going out and getting 'absolutely drunk'. Charlie's just been cheated on do you really think she needs this. I don't like the idea, especially when you're dressed like that" Stoffel made his point, he didn't like Anna going out as he didn't want a random man to hit in his woman. "Oh so you think it's best for her to dwell in her room being upset, I'm helping our friend. And what's your problem at least I'm actually doing something to cheer her up. Plus what do you think of me dressing like this, do you think it's too 'slaggy'" Anna took Stoffel's words out of context. "I'm just saying Charlie's hurt and supplying her with alcohol isn't the best idea, and come on you know I didn't mean it like that." Stoffel said getting annoyed as he would never say anything like that to Anna.

While Anna and Stoffel were bickering Max and Charlie was talking. "Have a fun night, be careful" max smiled. "I will. I'm actually excited to go out just me and Anna, we haven't done it in like forever." Charlie smiled. "I just don't want to think about him anymore" Charlie looked down. "It's okay, go out have fun and forget him. But please be careful, if you need me just ring me" Max felt over protective over Charlie as he knows what state she can get in. Charlie just rolled her eyes and laughed.

"You know what just leave it Stoff! Come on Charlie we can finish these drinks walking to the club, we obviously aren't wanted here!" Anna stormed into the kitchen grabbing Charlie along with her out if the door. Anna was so annoyed about arguing with Stoffel, she couldn't understand why Stoffel didn't want them going out. "What was that about?" Charlie said once they got outside. "Argh just Stoffel, he doesn't like us going out looking like this. Like we've having fun and I would never cheat on him, I don't get what he thinks of me." Anna ranted, Charlie knew Anna was slightly tipsy and she never got this angry. "Forget it. Come let's have fun!!!" Charlie shouted as they walked down the street.
