Charlie's Story. (Book Two Of 1D Fanfic) COMPLETED

Chapter Fourteen

“Ok.”  Was my reply.  “Well, I thought you and Drake had a thing?”  I nodded.  “Exactly, had.”  I looked down at the floor  “So that means you’re single?”  I guess it does, right?  I mean, I think I am.  “Yeah, it does.”  “Well then, do you...like me?”  Do I like Ryan?  I mean, really?  The thought never crossed my mind until now.  When we kissed, I was just...I don’t know, caught up in the moment?  Is that believable?  “Honestly?  I don’t think so, Ryan. I would probably say yes...but I just don’t think I’m ready for anyone else yet.”  He nodded, and smiled.  “Thanks, you’re the best.”  “I know you are, but what am I?”  I laughed, before heading back to my room.  That could’ve been worse.  However, I wasn’t prepared to see what was in front of my eyes.  “Err...I-I uhh...I’m leaving.”  I rushed down the stairs, got my purse, and ran straight out the front door to my white jeep.  I sped away, and turned the music all the way up.  My phone was ringing continuously, so I threw it out the window.  I drove for a few hours aimlessly, before finally pulling over at a nice looking hotel.  I grabbed my purse out of the passenger seat, and went inside to be greeted by a man in a suit.  “Hello, welcome.  What can I do for you?”  “Um, I’d like a room please.  One with a view.”  He walked around to the computer and looked back at me.  “Top floor ok?”  I nodded.  “That’ll be $103 per night.”   I handed him cash, because they could track my purchases with a debit card and I didn’t want to be found.  He handed over the room key, and I thanked him before going to the elevator.  After a very painful ride up with a smelly man, I unlocked the door and crashed on the couch.  It’s been a stressful day.

I half expected to be in my room when I woke up, but I wasn’t.  I was still on the dang couch.  My back was killing me, and I was starving.  I decided on going down to the ‘complimentary breakfast’ which was probably a bagel, and some coffee if I’m lucky.  Before leaving, I grabbed my purse so I could make a getaway if I had to.  The elevator was taking forever, so I settled on the stairs.  Yeah, I’m on the 20th floor, but it’s good exercise.  When I finally got down the the bottom, I was breaking a sweat.  I was right, there was a selection of bagels, flavored cream cheese, and some ‘insta-coffee’ that you poured into hot water.  I settled on a blueberry bagel and regular cream cheese.  A woman that worked for the hotel was on the phone, and looked at me several times before hanging up and hastily walking away.  I had a feeling that she probably recognized me from a magazine or something, and I’m sure the boys have put in a missing person report, so they probably have a picture of me too.  I grabbed my bagel, and walked out to the car, trying to be as un-noticeable as possible.  I started the car, and as soon as I was about to pull out, four cop cars sped in the parking lot with their lights on.  “Crap, really?”  I waited for them to all go inside before I backed out of my spot.  I gassed it, and mentally patted myself on the back for getting out of that one.  Just as I thought I was safe, I saw flashing lights in my rear-view mirror.  I slowed down a little, thinking they would just pass me, but they stayed right behind me.  I sighed, and pulled over.  They surrounded the car, and the one next to my window told me to get out.  I did as I was told, and then he slammed me up against the car and handcuffed me.  “You’re not under arrest, we have been told to bring you to the station for missing persons report.  I groaned, and sat in the back of one of their cars.  “Can you at least take the handcuffs off then?”  He shook his head, and remained silent.  Once we arrived, I saw a very familiar truck parked in the spot next to the front door.  The man driving roughly pulled me out, and drug me inside.  “Thank God you’re alright.  Don’t ever run away without bringing one of us with you.  Drake signed some papers, and turned back to me.  “Don’t ever do that again, we were all worried sick.”  “No promises.”  He furrowed his eyebrows, and turned to talk to the policeman.  After they were done, I was ‘released’ and reluctantly got in Drake’s truck.  “What’s wrong?  I know we’ve been fighting, but you’re acting really weird.”  I shrugged.  “You tell me.”  “I’m not starting this truck until I get an answer.”  I sighed, and turned to him in my seat.  “You want to know what’s wrong?  I came to my own room to find you making out with my best friend!”  A look of guilt immediately crossed his face.  “Listen, I can-”  “No, there’s noting in this world that you can say to make me feel better!”  I unlocked the door, and tried to make a run for it.  Drake quickly caught me, and pinned my arms behind my back.  “Help, rape!  Help he’s going to kidnap me!”  An officer ran over to us with his gun raised at Drake, who was quick to get his badge out of his pocket with the other hand.  The officers then placed their guns back in their holsters, and went inside.  I attempted to kick, scratch, pinch, and hit Drake many times, but failed.  He placed me in the passenger side, and put it on child-lock.  “Now, you can either shut up and let me explain, or I’ll make you.”  I narrowed my eyes and turned my head away.  “Pierce and I went to the same school a while back.  Of course, Chloe was there too, and we were best friends.  Nothing more, but she was like a sister to me.  When we were in 8th grade her dad lost his job, forcing them to move.  I always tried to get in touch, but things just got crazy.  I guess the shock of seeing her was just...I don’t even know.  Plus, you were mad at me, and I was just confused.  The kiss didn’t mean anything, I promise, and I was incredibly stupid for doing it.  Besides, she likes Pierce.”   I looked up at him, and he was looking at his hands.  How could I be mad at him for kissing Chloe, when I wet and kissed Ryan?  “Ok...while we’re being honest here, I-”  “I know, you kissed Ryan.  He told me.”  I raised an eyebrow.  “And you’re ok with that?”  “Of course not, I was extremely upset when he told me.  I’m willing to forget about it for you though.”  He smiled, and I formed a light smile on my face as well.  “I love you, and only you.”  He leaned in, and placed a light kiss on my lips.  “I love you too, butt head.”
