Cat's P.O.V
It's the night of the lunchroom scene. If Madi wouldn't have done that, Cole wouldn't be on Charlie's mind. Truthfully I like Cole as a person but Tyler really likes her. Tyler isn't going to make Charlie confused, Cole already is. All I hope is she'll give Tyler a chance, Cole pushing Tyler away today made Charlie confused. I want what's best for my best friend and if it's Cole then fine but I see Tyler right now.
My phone pings on my night stand, marking me reach over. I tap the table a few times before finding it. The dark doesn't help find it easily. When I turn it on, the brightness burns my eyes, making me groan.
Oliver - Hey.
Me - Hi.
Oliver - I know it's late.
Me - Yeah.
Oliver - I just needed to talk.
Me - Why?
Oliver - Cole is really pissed off.
Me - Why?
Oliver - Stop asking why.
Me - It's a question.
Oliver - Just, tell me if Charlie likes him.
Me - Betray my best friend?
Oliver - It's not, it's helping.
Me - No.
Oliver - Please?
Me - Why?
Oliver - This is the first person he's ever cared for.
Oliver - Other than me.
Me - I can't.
Oliver - Fine, if you change your mind text me.
I turn my phone off and go to sleep.
Charlie's P.O.V.
I can't sleep. I've been tossing and turning these few hours. The only thing I can think of is Cole and what he did. Why he did it is up there too. I pull my phone out and begin to type.
Me - Cole?
Me - Please answer.
A half an hour goes by before my phone pings in my hand.
Cole - What?
Me - What happened today?
Cole - I don't know.
Me - What do you mean?
Cole - Charlie, I can't do this.
Me - Do what?
I hoped he'd answer something like, 'I can't like you anymore' but he doesn't.
Cole - Nothing.
I can imagine his sigh, something that stuck around. I turn off my phone and stand, I'm not going to sleep anyway.
I step out side in my shorts and tank top with a shiver. Wishing I hadn't worn these pajamas, I also had an excuse. It's what I wore to bed every night. Looking up at the sky, I sit on the step of the porch. It's quiet for once on this street, I'd never noticed. I was too busy trying to be perfect, so I stayed in the house and got sleep every night; Closing myself off. If I hadn't I probably would've met Cole sooner. My sister sneaks in and out all of the time.
Stop thinking of him!
I look up from my feet to see the perfect distraction. Great.
