The day I butt-dialled bars and melody

19. I butt-dialled you again!

Naomi's P.O.V

"Hi, Leo. How are you?" I say into the phone.

He whispers something that I don't quite catch. "You were with Charlie yesterday, weren't you?" He says quietly.

"It wasn't like that," I tell him. "Teri had an accident and he was with her when it happened, and I stayed the night. in a seperate room, In swear, just as friend."

"You could have callled me," he says, sniffing.

"Leo, are you okay?" He doesn't reply. "Look, I'm coming around, Ok?"

I hang up the phone and run to Leo's house. There is no car in the driveway so I assume his parents are out.

Knocking on the door, I see Joey putting his shoes on just inside the door. He opens the door and grins at me.

"So you're the famous Naomi, huh? Leo's upstairs. No funny business, ok? I'm leaving," he says, gesturing up the stairs.

"Leo?" I call. "Where are you?"

I hear a quiet sob come from the bathroom.

"Leave me alone." He says.

"Come out of the bathroom?" I beg. He doen't reply.

"I'm calling your mum right now, Leo," I tell him.

"Don't. Just leave. Run away to your precious Charlie."

"You don't mean that, Leo."

"Oh, I do."

I can see that he isn't up for conversation, so I go into Leo's bedroom and sit on his bed.

I hear something beep from underneath me.

"Hello?" A wonderfully familiar voice says.

"Charlie!" I want to laugh. "I butt-dialled you again."

"Ok. Listen, about yesterday," he starts to say.

"No, Charlie. I need to speak to you right now. It's Leo. He's locked himself in the bathroom and he isn't coming out. He knows I stayed at your house," I blurt out.

"Oh no. Right, I'm coming round there right now. Do not leave. Just keep talking to him," Charlie tells me slowly.

"Why? What?" I ask, but he hangs up.

Charlie arrives after about ten minutes. He runs straight upstairs and knocks on the bathroom door.

"Leo? It's Charlie. Open the door now. I'm serious," Charlie says softly.

I shoot him a confused look, but he shoos me away. I don't budge.

"Leo? It is very important that you open this door right now," Charlie says.

Leo stifles a sob.

"We need to get him out," Charlie tells me. "Go get a ladder from the shed."

I run downstairs and open the shed door. When I emerge from the shed Charlie takes the ladder from me and props it up against the wall. He climbs up and I follow behind.

Charlie climbs through the open window and tells me to go back down. "I need to speak with him alone," he says.

Charlie's P.O.V

Leo is curled up in a ball in the corner of the bathroom, crying quietly.

"I'm sorry, Charlie," he says.

"Why? You don't have to be sorry, Leo. I upset a girl you like. Talking of Naomi, I think you should make up with her too."

"Ok." He stands up and unlocks the bathroom door, where Naomi is waiting. She hugs him and I have to look away when they kiss.

"I'm sorry for being a drama queen, Naoms," he tells her.

"It was nothing Leo. I can't blame you for acting how you did."

She whispers something into his ear and he smiles. Why isn't she with me? I know the answer to that of course. My own stupidity.

I clear my throat. "I should go. I said I'd babysit Brooke later while my parents go out."

"We'll help," Leo suggests. "We can invite Tilly and Livi."

I shrug. "I guess so."

Why did I agree? This is going to be hell.
