Better than ever- Chacha

I Love You pt. 2

Charli's Pov:

I went up to my room to get ready to go to the movies with Chase.

I was glad we were finally doing something alone, outside of the house. We really needed it.

I was putting my socks on when Chase knocked on my door and came into my room.

"Alex is letting us borrow one of his cars for the night." He informed me.

"Oh, yay!" I exclaimed, taking Chases hand as I stood up.

"Ready to go?"

"Yes." I confirmed, flashing him a smile.

We walked through the house and out into the garage, where we chose one of Alex's cars to take.

As we rode through the hills down to the city, I looked out of the window at the city lights.

I got butterflies as Chase rubbed my upper thigh. I turned and looked at him, and he smiled.

"You look stunning, by the way." He told me.

No idea by Don Toliver played on the radio as we drove through the beautiful city.

Hearing the song, I got flashbacks to last January and February. Those were the months last year when our relationship was the strongest. That was when I fell in love.

But I didn't want the love we had back then. I wanted the love we were creating now. And I wanted it never to end.

We stopped at a red light and I leaned over and kissed him. I guess we got a little distracted because the next thing I knew the light was green and the cars behind us were honking.

Chase refocused on the road and I took out my phone and opened snap.

I took a video lip syncing the song and pointed the camera at Chase, then I flipped the camera and filmed his hand on my thigh.

I liked documenting my happy moments, to look back on, you know? I was really starting to think that this was a new beginning for Chase and I. Our past didn't matter anymore. Cynthia, Nessa, Lauren... none of it mattered.

Chase had changed for the better, and matter of fact, so had I.

We pulled up to the theater, found a parking spot, and went inside.

In the theater we got to choose from all of the seats because no one else was there. I guess nobody knew they had had re-opened. I know I didn't before Chase told me.

We sat in the middle of the row, about halfway up. I put my legs up on Chase's lap as the last preview showed and the movie began.

At the scary parts Chase held my hand and when there were jump scares he'd fully wrap his arms around me.

I felt so safe with him. And happy. No one had ever made me feel the way Chase made me feel.

When the movie ended we walked back to the car, and we just sat and talked for a while before driving anywhere.

"I'm so sorry Char." Chase said after a moment of silence.

"For what?" I questioned.

"For everything. For not treating you how you deserved to be treated. You deserve the world and instead I gave you heartbreak."

"That's true." I agreed. "But you're not who you were a year ago. And neither am I. That's why I can forgive you."

"For a while after our breakup I wasn't myself." I continued. "I put on a smile for social media, and even for my family and friends, but I was hurting." "I wondered why I wasn't enough for you." I started tearing up.
