It's not my fault - A Charlynch book

Chapter 26

Becky's POV

I see Charlotte sitting on the steps watching something on her phone. I get closer and see that it's the video of me and Finn. How did she get that? "Charlotte,"I say causing her to turn off her phone and stand up. She turns around and looks at me with tears in her eyes. I go up to hug her and she pushes me away causing me to fall on the floor.

"Charlotte what the he-," I was soon cut off by her. "Why do you do this to me?," she said her voice cracking. "Do what?," I say generally confused. "Don't play dumb Rebecca. Why are you playing me," she said and I shake my head. "What are you taking about I never played you," I say trying to understand her.

"I don't get you. One day we're arguing about something and the next day we kiss and flirt. I told you, I didn't wanna go this party but you tricked me into going. One minute we're kissing each other and the next minute you say yes to Finn and you saw me. You saw me shake my head and I told you 'please no'. Why didn't you listen," she said and I looked down not knowing what to say.

"Do you just not care about me anymore? Is that what it is? You're just playing me," she said with tears rolling down her face. "I couldn't say no," I said while looking down. "Cut the bullshit. You could've said no but you didn't," she said. "Charlotte, you know I will never lie to you. Just let me tell you the truth," I said trying to approach her. "Stay the fuck away from me," she said taking a step back.

"Charlotte just listen to me please. Let me tell you why?," I say hoping for her to hear me out. "Why should I listen to you? So you can keeping lying to me. Keeping breaking my heart every fucking time," she said. "Charlotte I had to say yes, if I didn't Finn was gonna do something to me and I was scared. I panicked so I said yes. Listen, I'm sorry if you felt like I lead you on. I'm sorry that I said yes to him. I was just scared and I didn't know what to say," I said and for a split second I saw she was breaking. I knew she wanted to come over and hug me but a part of her told her to stay where you are and stand your ground.

"You can't keep blaming Finn for everything. You can't blame him to why you said yes. It was your decision," she said. "Charlotte I'm not joking. Believe me when I tell you this," I say almost yelling. She was shocked at the tone of my voice. "You've changed Rebecca," she said. "You are no longer the girl I loved," she said and I felt tears rolling down my face. "Charlotte don't say that. I love you Charlotte just believe me," I said trying to step closer to her but every time I take a step closer she steps back. "No you don't," she said and I look at her confused.

"Charlotte, I love you. We can talk about this you don't have to do thi-," I was soon cut off by her. "And I know why you broke up with me," she said while taking out her phone. She took a couple of seconds and showed me the video she was watching earlier of me and Finn. "Charlotte, I can explain," I said my voice cracking in the middle of it.

"Don't because it's my fault for even loving you in the first place. Why was I so stupid?," she said with a laugh. "You can't help but fall in love with someone and you know that," I said trying to reason with her. "I know you can't pick the people who you want to fall in love with but the only thing I got from this relationship is lies and nothing more. I wished I never fell in love with you," she said and I shake my head.

"No you don't. You got way more from this. I know you felt it. When we were together, I knew you felt loved. I know that you felt cared and protected. I know you loved me," I said with tears rolling down my face. We were soon interrupted when we heard the front door open. It was Bayley and Sasha. They both saw our tear stained faces and Bayley pulled me into a hug while Sasha did the same to Charlotte.

I put my hands in my pocket and I felt the necklace. I forgot to give it to her. This might be the last time we ever talked so I might as well do it now. I let go of Bayley and make my way to Charlotte and Sasha. For the first time, Charlotte doesn't step away from me which I'm grateful for. I felt Sasha and Bayley stare but I don't care. I take the necklace out of my pocket and turn Charlotte around. I put the necklace on her and she turns around to face me.
