Better than ever- Chacha

We meet again

Chase's Pov:

I was going to see Charli today for the first time in like 3 months. And for the first time since the breakup.

I was nervous and excited at the same time. Maybe just being friends for a while would be good for us! Or maybe she still had feelings for me...?

I was disappointed because I had a meeting for some brand deal, meaning I couldn't go with Thomas and Mia to pick up Dixie and Charli from the airport.

I threw on a fit and called an Uber to take me to my meeting.

The entire time I swear I was just counting the minutes until I could leave and get back to the hype house.

When the meeting concluded, I called another Uber and made my way back to the house.

When we pulled into the driveway I saw that the car Thomas had driven to get the girls from the airport was back.

I thanked the driver and hopped out of the Uber, then I walked into the house.

Avani, Addison, Kouvr and were in the kitchen, catching up with Dixie when I walked in.

"Hey Dix!" I exclaimed, walking over to the girls and giving Dixie a quick hug. "How was the flight?"

"Oh It wasn't too bad," she responded. "Just long."

"I see..." I said with a smile. "Where's Charli?"

"She's in her room unpacking her suitcase, go say hi!" Dixie winked at me, making sure that the other girls standing there couldn't see it.

My heart raced as I walked to Charli's room. The door was closed so I knocked.

"Come innn!" She chimed from the other side of the door.

I opened the door to see her over by the closet, putting what looked like the last shirt away.

"Oh hi chase!" Charli smiled her bright smile and came over and hugged me.

"Hey char," I said hugging her back. "I missed you." I said with a sigh.

"I missed you too Hudson." She said, letting go and continuing her tasks around the room.

"Well I guess I'll let you get settled." I stated, turning to leave.

"No, you can stay I don't mind." She waved me back into the room. "There's some things I wanted to talk about."

"Okay," I plopped down on the bed. "What's going on?"

"Chase," she took a deep breath and sat down next to me. "When we broke up and stopped talking... not only did I lose my boyfriend, I lost my best friend." She said.

"I never meant for things to go the way they did." I admitted. "I fucked up Char, and I hurt both of us."

I rested my hand on her knee and she put her hand on top of mine.

"I really, really want to forgive you." She told me. "And I would... I'm just afraid of what other people will say. My friends, my parents, all of tik tok and Instagram and Twitter..."

"And I understand that." I agreed. "We live very public lives. We share a lot of what happens on social media... but we don't have to tell anyone if you're not ready."

"I don't like hiding things from my family and friends." She frowned, looking down at her lap.

I lifted her chin so that her beautiful brown eyes looked directly into mine.

She began to lean in, until our lips met. I still got that feeling in my chest that I used to get whenever we kissed.

She placed her hand on the back of my neck and deepened the kiss. I was starting to push her back onto the bed when she pulled away.

"That was a goodbye kiss, Chase." She said, her eyes welling up with tears. "As hard as it is, it's better for everyone if we just stay friends.

I didn't know what to say... I didn't want this to happen but I didn't know what to tell her to change her mind.

"Okay." I said in a tone that was almost a whisper. I stood up and ran my hand through my hair, trying to process what has just happened.

"Okay." I whispered again, nodding at Charli sadly and then walking out of the room.

A/n: I promise things will get better for them. Will update soon x.
