Alex Foster & Charlie Cooper

Chapter 5 : Unexpected

It's been a little over 3 weeks since my Father and I have moved out and we are doing great. We get along amazingly and we both do our fair shares of the expenses and such. Mom is also doing well she has a new boyfriend, the guy is pretty nice I met him once. He is a perfect fit for my Mom they have a lot in common. I don't see much of my Dad except for on the weekends but even then he hangs out with his buddies most of the time. I don't mind a whole lot but I do miss the one on one times we used to have. Now I just have Charlie to hang out with and that's perfect for me, me and him have gotten much closer since he's been staying with me. He's practically my Best Friend at this point I know him so well, we do almost everything together. I have asked him a couple times why he has stuck around this long at first he didn't respond he kind of just shrugged it off but when I asked him for the last time he said "Because I don't really have a need to leave, plus I like sticking around here" and when he said that I couldn't help but smile. At this point life was just amazing I had everything I needed. A new place, New Friend, an Amazing Boyfriend I was happy with my life it was perfect...or so I thought.

Charlie and I were heading out to go get pop and snacks for my Father because it was Game day and he was inviting some of his buddies over. So we headed out got the stuff we needed to get and headed back home. On the way home we stopped off at the Coffee shop were my boyfriend works to say Hi. Once we walk in I look around to see if I can spot him anywhere when I asked another worker where he was at they told me he was in the back and I could just peek in really quick to say Hi. I was not expecting to walk through that door and see my boyfriend making out with another guy who worked there. My eyes started to fill up with tears when Bryan turned and saw me standing there.

"Alex wait its not what it looks like I swear!" he said following me outside

"Oh really so you weren't just making out with that guy" I said with anger and frustration

"I.." he stuttered before I interrupted him

"Don't You Even Dare Lie To Me Bryan How Could You Do This To Me... I thought you loved me" I said as I got back into my truck.

Charlie gets back in the truck and I just lost it. I broke down and started to ball my eyes out I loved Bryan I never thought he could ever do this, but he did and now my heart is broken. We sat there in the truck for what seemed like forever but really it was only about ten minutes. After we sat there a while we headed back home when we got back home I continued to lose it. I just saw all of the photos of Bryan and I so I started to throw them across the room amongst other things. Charlie Decides he has had enough of me breaking things and grabs ahold of me from behind and holds my arms down. I just sob right then and there I turned around put my arms around him and held him tight. I started to get this weird feeling again like the first time I placed my hand on his shoulder. I don't know what this feeling is but all I know is right now he is the only one here for me, and that's all I need.

"Alex calm down its gonna be alright" Charlie said hugging me tighter

"How am I going to be alright Bryan was just cheating on me God only knows for how long" I said sobbing

"I know I know but this just proves he wasn't the right guy for you and since he isn't there is no need to be crying over some asshole like him" He said

I look up and stare at him I knew he was right but it still hurt I truly thought Bryan was the one for me, I wanted him to be the one so badly I guess I really didn't pay to much attention what was really going on between us or with him. I wipe my face with the back of my hand trying to pull myself together.

"I'm sorry I'm such a mess" I said walking towards the kitchen

"Alex you do not need to be sorry about anything I understand you're going through a hard time right now but I promise you right now things will get better soon and you will realize he isn't good for you" He said following me into the kitchen.
