The world changed for you and me both

Chapter 2

Chase pov:

Birthdays are supposed to be fun.

But its going to be my 18th birthday and on 18th birthdays the name of your soulmate will appear on your wrist.

I don't know how i'm going to handle seeing someones name that isn't Charli's appear on my wrist.

I spent the rest of the day scrolling through tiktok but the hate was becoming stronger everyday. I saw one comment that made me throw my phone across the room.

Why does everyone see me as a huge villain?

I love Charli with all my heart but no ones seems to get that. I love her but yet I don't have the guts to call her right now and confess my love all over again.

2 days later (Chase's Birthday in the story)

Charli pov:

I miss him, I miss him with all my heart.

I don't know what i'll do if my name doesn't appear on his wrist today for his birthday.

I ran upstairs to my room to grab my distance bracelet. It made me feel like things weren't totally a mess right now.

I slipped it on. The single pink bead and many black beads made me feel so much closer to him. I may be miles away but he will always be close in my heart.

"Charls? You coming down?" Dixie yelled.

"Yeah! I'll be right there." I said feeling sadness come over my body.

I don't know what was going to happen today, all I know is that I love him and every time my phone rings I hope its him.

I rushed downstairs and saw Dixie sitting on the grey sofa with her phone in her hands. Although her face was very serious.

"Dixie, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Hm? What? Oh, nothing." She replied kinda of uneasily.

"Dixie, you know you can talk to me right?"

"Of course. Why would I not be able to, right?" She said uncomfortably.

"Yeah. Right" I said forcing a smile on my face. "Anyways, why'd you call me down?" I asked.

"Oh, right. I just wanted to say... um... breakfast is ready."

"Dixie, I already ate breakfast... with you... an hour ago. Are you sure you're okay?" I asked really concerned, she was acting super weird.

"Sorry Charli, He told me not to say this but-"

I cut her off "Who? Dixie WHO?"

"Chase. He has been texting me because he wanted to make sure you were okay. He told me not to tell you because he thought you'd be emotional and he didn't want to cause you pain."

"He's been asking you to check in on me? Since the... breakup?" The word breakup came out as a whisper. Hold in the tears Charli, hold them in... NO NO NO

The tears started coming. I needed Chase's hugs. I ran up to my room. I fell onto my bed.

I told myself if I called him to tell him happy birthday I wouldn't be crying or talk about love at all. But still I grabbed my phone and as soon as I know I'm waiting for Chace to answer the FaceTime call.
