Charlie's P.O.V.

"Cole." I repeat.

He turns to me quickly, "Is that what you thought all along?"

"I-"

"You know what?" He interrupts, "I wasted my time."

"Don't say that." I plead.

"Tyler can keep you." He spits.

"Cole, I didn't say it like that." I say. "

Really? I heard that I'm using you." He asks sarcastically.

"Cole-"

"Bye." He ignores me and gets into the car. 

I watch him drive away as tears fall down my cheeks. Closing my eyes, I go back inside and stomp up to my room. My "dad" Will be gone by tomorrow morning, he always is. 

Cole's P.O.V.

"Dude, I've wasted this whole experience." I rant to Oliver.

"No you didn't, you're going to get through this." He says. 

"I gave up my feelings and friend slots to be what? misunderstood?" I ask frustratedly.

"Cole, just go home and get some sleep." He says.

I stand while nodding, I give him a rough hug before walking out. 


When I get into my room I lay in bed and close my eyes. There's a knock on the door, I sit up and wait for it to open.

"Hon." My mom's voice get's closer.

"What?" I ask.

"What's wrong?" She asks, sitting by my feet.

"I'm not five, you can go." I say.

"Is it that girl?" She asks.

"Hm?" I ask, snapping to her.

"You sneak out, get into fights and now you're mad." She explains, "I know it's a girl."

"I did all of those things before." I shrug.

"Not as much and you just admitted." She laughs.

"She believes I've been using her or I will." I say quietly.

"Can I meet her?" She asks.

"I don't think so." I say.

"Get some sleep, it'll all be okay." She stands.

I nod, not believing her one bit. I hate how positive she was all of the time. Closing my eyes again, I fall asleep. 

Charlie's P.O.V.

I haven't slept all night and the sun is rising now. Cole being there wasn't supposed to happen. I hate my father so much! I scream into my pillow, releasing some of my anger. I look into my mirror when the tears begin to fall again. 

How can I still cry when I have been all night?

My phone buzzes. 

Oliver - You should talk to Cole.

Me - I can't, he won't listen.

Oliver - No matter how mad he is.

Oliver - He likes you and I have faith.

Me - You're a great friend.

Oliver - I know, you're not.

Me - Gee thanks.

Oliver - You're better as his crush.
