Different

Chapter 23

Recommended song: over again

"God, Charlotte you're soaked" Liam says getting out of the car and stepping towards me.

"Yeah Hanna kicked me out of her house so I had to stay in the rain" I explain chattering my teeth. We're in April and it's still freezing as hell.

"So you have nowhere to sleep ?" He asks his hands in his pockets.

"Nope." I shrug. I don't really care of where I am going to sleep this night.

"Come to my hotel room. You're not going to stay outside" he suggests

"I don't really want to see Harry, but thanks though" I make a face

"I'm sharing my room with Zayn so don't worry we won't tell the other lads that you're here"

"Ok then. Thanks Liam, and thanks for coming" I smile at him. He has such a big heart and he's such a good friend. He's always here for the others, I wish there were more people like him in the world.

"No problem Charlotte. I know we haven't talked for the last four months, which is a shame, but I'm still here for you and I'm really sorry for what happened."

"And I'm sorry for ignoring you the whole time and blaming you for being in on it too" I apologise quite embarrassed

He steps closer and pulls me into a hug.
"It s ok. I missed you. Hum.. Don't you want to go in a café to talk ? It's kinda cold" he shivers

"Yeah sure" I answer and we go back to his car.

"A coffee and a hot chocolate please" Liam says to the waitress. "So Charlotte, I bet you want to talk about Harry right ?" He smirks

"Guessed right" I giggle. "So..." I start feeling uncomfortable and wriggle on my chair. "The thing is that... I still love Harry" I hesitate.
"I hated him for what he did but deep inside I've never stopped loving him. I don't know what I should do. It's true that it's best for me to live a normal and stable life but it's too..."

"Boring ?" He suggests smiling

"Yeah" I agree.

"Maybe you should give him a second chance then. I can't promise that it will work but I can promise you that he will do everything for you. This last month, he started to regret a lot. He was telling himself that he shouldn't have done this"

"Of course he shouldn't" I mumble

"He said that he should have fought for you. He's still deeply in love with you, I genuinely don't know what you did to him but he would do everything to fix it. You're not the only one broken hearted you know, he is too."

"Well it's not my fault. He broke his heart himself, and me with it !" I snap

"Charlotte..." Liam rolls his eyes

"I'm sorry I don't know what s wrong with me today. Seeing him again, the fight with Hanna, the interview and all that, it's exhausting" I sigh

"The interview was pretty bad" he laughs

"Definitely" I giggle which relaxes the atmosphere
"so you think I should give him a second chance then ?"

" Yes I think. But you should also think about it before coming back to him. You have to be sure that you're ready to drop this life that you have to face all the negative sides of your relationship with him. It won't always be easy, think about it." He advises.

"You're right, I'm going to think about it, thanks Liam" I smile and sip my hot chocolate.
My phone rings, it's a new message text from Hanna.
