Chapter 7

As promised here are the three chapters! Thank you so much.

Every day I publish a chapter for the new readers who are starting to read my story.

•••••••

One month had passed and I went every day to teach Mia the singing lessons. She began improving every time and she always left me impressed by her singing ability. I taught her different french songs and her pronunciation was very good.

I remember when my mom helped me practice singing. She always told me that french songs were the most romantic ones. We always enjoyed the singing lessons and that's what connected us the most. She always told me that my love is like a song and the man for me will know how to play the perfect notes of it.

But my song wasn't beautiful to hear either sing, there were missing notes in it. Something was missing inside of me, I felt broken.

I became a closer friend each day with Charlotte. She had a good humor which made my day but when we talked about something serious, we got serious! Those friends in which you could talk about everything and laugh about it are so much worth it.

She talked about her job as marketing manager and Noah as a business manager. I really admired how both of them had success. I just I craved for the same thing.

She was my first friend and she had proved it to me. Almost every night we watched a movie together, we liked watching comedy movies but we preferred romantic ones.

One night as I finished with the lessons and I was picking up my things Charlotte entered to the room in her pijamas, and she actually looked stunning. I faced her with a smile as I began walking towards her.

"Hey! Do you want to watch a movie?," she said with a big smile.

"When have I said no?," I said in return. Charlotte was my first friend since I was always homeschooled, so having her as a friend was so meaningful to me.

We began walking towards the other huge living room with a big screen. I began sitting on the couch trying to get comfortable.

"Let's see a romantic movie this time," I said. "Let's watch 'The Choice'."

She began clapping and she winked at me. "I'll go for a bottle of wine and popcorn."

She suddenly left to the kitchen and I saw her walk away. I always loved Charlotte's good mood every day. I hadn't told her about everything that happened to me. I wasn't ready to share it and even remembering it hurt a lot. So I decided to wait.

I grabbed the remote and began looking for the movie on Netflix. Then Charlotte entered and sat next to me.

"I hope this movie doesn't have sex scenes because I could get horny and go with Noah," she said with the bottle in one hand. I began laughing at her comment. I clicked at the movie and we began eating the salty popcorn and drank the wine which felt bitter on my mouth as I swallowed it.

••••••

The movie was almost ending and we both began crying when the protagonist was in coma. We cried so much that we looked at each other and laughed again.

As the movie ended we drank more wine and I was already a little bit tipsy.
She turned off the TV and turned around and looked at me.

"Have you dated a guy before?," she asked.

I took another sip of my wine and said,
"No I haven't. I haven't even gone on a date." I faced her again.

"Oh, I should present to you Noah's best friend, but he's always busy. Maybe one day. And he's super hot," she said.

"Whose hot?," Noah asked as he entered to the room. Both of us began laughing so hard that I covered my mouth and my stomach was hurting so much.

"Its already late, I should go home," I said already standing up and picking up my things.

"You can sleep in here," Charlotte said.

"No, its fine really," I said as I looked at both of them.

"In that case, we will drop you," she said already picking up the keys. I didn't decline because it was too late.

Noah grabbed the keys and said, "but I'm driving. You are drunk."

"Buuuuu! It would not be fun then," she said laughing.

"When we come back I could show you what's fun," he said smiling.

Charlotte began smiling at him and made him flirty eyes. I just laughed at their flirty comments.

We began walking towards the car. I suddenly began laughing and Charlotte joined me.

"I'm going to fall down! Woah!," I said as I ran. Seconds later I fell down and I heard Noah and Charlotte laugh from behind. I was already too drunk. Shit. I really enjoyed this moment in which I forgot about everything and just laughed.

Finally I stood up and continued walking again. I opened the door and the wind played with my hair. As we got nearer the car, Noah unlocked the car and we got in.

••••••

Five minutes later Charlotte began laughing and grabbed her phone. She opened Spotify and began scrolling down and clicked a song. 'Young, wild and Free' sounded all over the car. We began singing out loud with feeling. I felt alive as the three of us sang.

"Living young, wild and free!" we sang.

"We're acting like fucking teenagers," Noah said laughing.

We continued laughing until we suddenly got tired. But we were already getting near Sophie's house.

As Noah drove, my eyes felt heavy and Charlotte was already asleep.

"Buuuuu! Looks like I won't have fun tonight," Noah said as he stopped in front of the house.

I began laughing again. "Thank you, Noah. Tell Charlotte I said goodbye." "Good night," I said as I closed the car's door.

I began waving until they left. I got inside of the house already feeling dizzy. I went to check if Sophie was already asleep. I entered and her lamp was on. I looked at her as she slept and I covered her with the bed sheets and turned off the light. I went to my room already yawning.

Noah and Charlotte were both really alike and I considered friends. I smiled at the idea.

Friends.
