I Didn't Know| Charli D'amelio

Four

Y/n's pov

Today's the day of the welcoming party for Charli and her sister, Dixie, and I can't wrap my head around the fact that she invited me to come. I thought the party was just for friends and family, but I guess not. I'm really scared on meeting her friends and especially her family because what the hell am I going to do if they don't like me? Good thing Charli said I can bring anyone I wanted or else I would be a nervous wreck attending the party on my own. I of course asked Addison to tag along since she is a big fan of the tiktokers that are going to be there and I always act myself when she's around. Another thing I had to worry about was what on earth I was going to wear like I want to look presentable, but not too presentable. I feel as if I am overreacting over this, it's just a small gathering not a full on house party.

Addison spent the night the very day I told her I was invited to Charli and Dixie's welcoming party. She annoyed the living hell out of me all night, scavenging through her suitcases of clothes she brought with her to look for an outfit. Now that we have only two hours before we have to leave, Addison was panicking.
"I have to redo everything!", Addison groaned as she used a makeup wipe to take off her eyeliner.
That was her fifth time attempting to get a perfect wing and I'm starting to lose hope that it'll never happen.
"No! Your makeup looks fine. Leave it please! We have to go soon", I blurted out as I jumped off of my bed.
"Fine isn't good enough!", Addison stated while making a face in the mirror.
"Come on, we already have our outfits for the night on and it's a casual party not a strip club"
"You're calling me a stripper? I should be offended, but I'm not", She said smiling as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"I wanna see Charli. Grab your keys and let's go, the drive is kind of far", I whined and stomped my feet.
"God you hopeless romantic now you're acting like a baby? yeesh"
I gave her a glare then broke out into a chuckle. She took her car keys from my nightstand and I hustled her outside.
"Shotgun!", I yelled running to the passenger side of her jeep.
"There's only two of us! So no shit!"
Addison rolled her eyes at my behaviour as she hopped in the driver's seat. She revved up her engine and backed out of my driveway in a reckless manner, making me jerk to the side in my seat. I quickly took hold of the roof handle because I knew nascar Addison was about to make one hell of an entrance.
"Hold on tight. This is going to be a bumpy ride", She said with a villainous grin and put on her black ray ban sunglasses.
"Why are you wearing sunglasses? It's daaaarrk~", I was saying up until she hit the gas.

The drive was supposed to take an hour to get to the hype house, but Addison managed to swerve her way through traffic and we made it there in forty five minutes. All the house's lights were on and there was music coming from it.
"That should be a world record", Addison said as she braked and parked the car in front of the house in a matter of seconds.
"I think I'm gonna be sick", I joked with my hand on my stomach.
"Not in the new jeep you're not! Take your scrawny ass outside!"
"I ain't scrawny! Have you seen these guns", I retorted and flexed both my arms.
"Such a moron. Let's go meet your lady friend before I strangle you", She laughed as we both got out of the fruity jeep of hers.
Her and I were walking towards the basically mansion looking house. My heart started to pang in my chest and my palms started to get all clammy.
"Ad?", I peeped out as I felt my mouth go dry.
"Hmm?", She hummed as we approached the front door.
"How do I look?"
I'm currently wearing something so simple, one of my best hoodies, some ripped jeans, and a pair of slip on vans. I was beginning to feel insecure which is never a good thing for me.
"Like a raging lesbian jk... a boy jk... you look spicy for that hormonal teen in there"
"You know saying jk doesn't actually imply that you are", I huffed out with folded arms.
"That's what besties do. Quit being so tense and slap a smile on that face of yours", She said as she knocked on the huge wooden door.

The door swung open and we were greeted with Charli's friend with the black tesla that took her to Dunkin the day her and I met.
"Hey you're Y/n, right?", He said giving me a smile.
"Yeah that's me... oh! And this is my best friend, Addison", I said introducing the two of them.
"Nice to meet you two. I'm Thomas. Now get in here, that D'amelio has been talking about you nonstop"
Addison and I hurried in and were greeted with a living room filled with people. A certain someone caught my eye, Charli, and when she saw me, she immediately blasted off of the couch and ran into me at full speed.
"Y/nnnn!", Charli hollered and engulfed me into a bear hug.
"Glad to see you again goofball", I said as I reciprocated the hug.
There was a loud "ehem" that filled the room and I realized that it came from the group of people on the couch as well as Addison.
"Oh my bad", Charli awkwardly started as she stopped hugging me and collected herself.
"This is Y/n and her friend..."
"Hi I'm Addison", Addison giggled and held her hand out which Charli gladly shook.
"Nice to meet you, Y/n and Addison!", They all yelled simultaneously.
"Now let me introduce y'all to the crew! That's Tony, Ondreaz, Larray, Dixie, Chase, Ryland, Alex, Kouvr, Connor, Patrick, Nick, Calvin, Wyatt, Hootie, Jack, James, Avani, Darianka, Mia, Taylor, Bryant, Nate, and of course Thomas", She said pointing and naming every single person in the room and they all replied with a simple "hi" or "sup".
"Okay since everyone is acquainted, let's party!", The girl named Avani screamed.

The whole house was decorated with streamers and lights. It looked like a school dance as there was a huge snack table in the middle of the living room, but what threw me off was that there were absolutely no parents around so this party is a literal free for all. I saw a few people vaping or cracking open a cold one. Addison looked just as shocked as me. Charli seemed to be neutral about it but none the less apologized for it.
"Look I don't do any of that stuff. It's mostly the eighteen and older", She whispered in my ear due to the blaring music.
"I know you're not like that", I replied as flashing colors erupted in the room.
"Yay a disco ball!", Addison cheerily screeched.

Everyone was getting their groove on, especially the boys, they were the wild ones. They were doing stupid stunts like riding a mattress down the stairs. The girls were all in separate groups either dancing or just casually talking to one another. Charli and I went to the kitchen where it was easier to hear each other talk. I totally lost Addison, but I'm pretty sure she went to go talk with some of the girls, you know the typical bi in her.
"Not what you were expecting huh?"
"Actually no, I thought it was going to be a few people playing xbox or something not a rave", I said making Charli laugh.
"Sorry. I just really wanted to see you as soon as possible for some reason and this was the best first hangout I could think of", She said looking down.
"Hey it's totally fine. I'm having a good time now since I'm alone with you"
Charli's face turned beet red just in time for her sister, Dixie, to walk in to witness it.
"Aw little Char is blushing"
"Dixie, living room now!", Charli shouted speed walking towards her sister and linking their arms together.
"I wanted a drink~", Dixie got caught off by Charli dragging her out of the kitchen.

I sat on the counter waiting for Charli to come back. I tapped my foot and gazed at my phone in silence thinking that she has been gone for an awfully long time. I heard foot steps come towards me and my head eagerly shot up.
"Hey Y/n! What are you doing the party's out there!", Avani said in a sing song voice as she skipped to the fridge.
"I know that, I'm waiting for Charli"
"She's talking with the boys. You're coming whether you like it or not. C'mon be my dance partner"
Avani gave me no choice because she pulled my arm and man was she strong. I gave in and went into the living room with her. It was hectic, cups and chip bags were everywhere. Have I been in the kitchen that long? It looked as if a tornado hit and everyone just danced right through it.
"Y/n, this party is so fun!", Addison said walking into my side just to lay her head on my shoulder.
"She seems drunk", Avani chuckled and sipped her red solo cup.
"She seems? She definitely is. Damn Ad now I have to drive the fruit mobile home"
"You guys are welcome to stay over, we wouldn't want you getting into an accident or anything"
"Thanks Avani. That means a lot", I said feeling rather grateful.
"Anytime. Oh there's Charli!"

My gaze shifted over to the corner of the room to see Charli and that Chase guy talking. Chase was getting seriously close to her, his hands were on her waist now. I felt a lump in my throat start to form, but rage quickly consumed me to what I witnessed next. Charli was clearly not digging the situation and I wasn't digging the vibes Chase was giving off. I shrugged Addison off my should causing her to make a kid like 'hmph', but I didn't care. All that was on my mind was rescuing the short brunette. I walked fastly up to them and went berserk once I saw Chase squeeze Charli's behind. Every ounce of my blood was boiling.
"Get your filthy hands off of her!", I yelled, tackling Chase to the ground.
He went down so easily and I'm glad that I knocked the wind out of him. My fist was ready to pound into his face, but a soft hand held it instead.
"Please don't", the girl that I'm falling for said with tear stained cheeks.
"He touched you. I can't just~"
"You bitch! Get off of me!", Chase shouted as he shoved me to the side.
I toppled over and my back hit the wall.
"Chase! Stop!"
"Shut it Charli! She had no business cutting in like a fucking cockblock!"
"What are you talking about? Cockblock? She was backing away from you!", I said through gritted teeth as I got up.
"Bullshit"
"I told you no Chase", Charli spoke with her eyes glued to the floor.
The life of the party seem to be us three since everyone was now standing and watching intensively.
"Just look at what you're wearing. You were practically asking for it", Chase scoffed earning him his last strike with me. My fist met his jaw and he stumbled back obviously taken off guard.
"That's it faggot!"
His renforcement of a punch got me right in the side of the head. Everything began to get blurry and soon it went black as I felt my body meet the floor.
"Y/n!", Charli screamed out in between sobs.
That was the last thing I heard until I completely blacked out.
