Part 2

Warning ⚠️: mature language

That was two years ago. And now here I am, staring at the message I just received.. to my surprise, from Charlie.

I hadn't heard from him since we were seniors in high school, since he made that huge change. To this day, I still can't figure out why he did that so suddenly. I don't think I'll ever figure it out.

"Hey it's me, Charlie. I know we haven't talked in a while and I also know that it's my fault. But can we please meet up? There's something I want to tell you..", his message read.

I wasn't even sure if I even wanted to reply, let alone actually see him.

Then I think about how much he meant to me, how much I was in love with him, which he didn't know.

I sigh as I type out my response.

"I don't think that's a good idea Charlie"

Not more than two minutes later, he responds

"Please Y/N. I know I don't deserve it but please give me a second chance. Just meet me at the cafe we used to always go to, same table and all. I just want to talk"

I close my eyes as I know I'm going to give in.

"What time?" I reply

"How about now?", he asks

I confirm with him and start to get ready.

Next thing I know, I'm walking in the cafe and I feel my nerves start to come up.

I nervously look around and to my surprise, I find Charlie looking at me.

I look away, trying not to stare. He looks the same but even as hotter than before if that made any sense.

I walk over to the table and sit down in front of him.

I look to him to see him smiling.

"It's really nice to see you again Y/N. Thank you for meeting me, I know you probably didn't want to", he says

I smile, not wanting to agree or disagree.

"What'd you want to talk about?", I ask

"About what happened in high school", he says frowning

I sigh. That's the last thing I would want to talk about.

"I know that's probably the last thing you want to talk about but I regret everything I did senior year and I realized I never told you why I did what I did" he says making me look to him.

"So there was a reason?" I ask him

He nods with a little smile on his face, making my stomach ache with a little bit of butterflies

"What was it?", I ask him.

"Well there was this girl that I had really deep feelings for, I was so in love with her and you saw how I was before. I was a total loser and I realized that I was never going to get her attention that way. So the only thing that made sense to me was to get a makeover, and that's what I did but the results I got was totally not what I wanted.", he says

I scoff, "I should have known you did that for a girl, I just never thought you would have done that since you never mentioned you liking someone", I say as I cross my arms

"Do you even want to know who the girl is?", he asks, his cheeks starting to get more color as he blushes a little bit

"Well I probably wouldn't remember her anyways that's if I've even met her before", I chuckle

"Oh yeah you've definitely met her before", he laughs to himself which makes me furrow my eyebrows

"Who is it?", I ask and he gives me a look that made my heart skip a beat

"It...it wasn't me right?", I ask with my eyes widened.

He rubs the back of his neck in nervousness but silently nods.

I didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe it. To think he did all of that for me? If only he realized I loved him before he ever decided to change so drastically

"Say something", he chuckles nervously

"What do you want me to say Charlie?" I ask, slightly annoyed

"Well have you ever felt the same way about me?" He asks me and I swallow hard.

"Yeah I did. I loved you even before you changed Charlie, but after you did what you did, I don't know anymore", I say looking down

Flashback

Two years ago, that same year but a couple of months after he got the makeover

It was my 18th birthday and at that time, me and Charlie were still friends, we definitely weren't as close but I was still happy having him as a friend.

I was at my locker when I received a text message from Charlie

"Happy birthday Y/N, you'll always mean so much to me and I'm so grateful to have you as my best friend. If you want, swing by my place after school today so I can give you your present 😜"

I smiled widely to myself. I was glad he still thought of me as his best friend, since I felt the same way too.

I turned around to see Charlie at his locker by himself, and when he catches my eye, he smiles at me.

I walked to him and gave him a hug which he quickly pulled away from

"Are you okay?", I asked him confused

"Oh yeah sorry, it's just I remembered I promised Mr.James I'd meet with him 10 minutes before class starts", he says lowly

I shrugged it off, "So what time do you want me to come over?", I asked and that's when his 'friends' came up to him

"Charlie what are you doing talking to this loser?", one of the guys said

I looked to Charlie, a hurt expression on my face but expecting him to defend me

"I don't know, she just took it upon herself to come talk to me", he shrugged and laughed with the guys

"Charlie what are you doing?", I asked lowly

"Just go away loser, Charlie has better things to do than talk to lowlifes like you", another one of the guys said

"Right Charlie?", they ask him

And at first he's silent and has no emotion on his face but then opens his mouth, "Definitely", he says, making your heart break

"Don't ever talk to me again Charlie", you shove him back and run away with tears stinging your eyes
