Sweater Weather <3 ➜ Charli D'amelio

025

✵ ✵ ✵

Charli's POV

i was running as fast as i could. i probably should've just called an uber or had dixie come get get me, but i was too impatient. i wanted to keep moving. keep moving closer to her.

after about ten minutes of consistent running i had to take a break. i was extremely winded, and could use some water.

i check my notifications and see tiktokroom posted. my heart drops.

oh no.

i quickly go onto instagram. just another post about braddison. i take a deep breath and sigh in relief.

but then i refresh.

"NO," i say, and my face drops to my hand.

✵ ✵ ✵

i get a text from chase. he tells me he loves me, so he did what he had to do.

i'm livid.

astra will never forgive me.

i keep refreshing the page hoping tiktokroom will take it down. astra asked them to.

but they don't.

i start running again, with tears in my eyes, my face flushed and angry. but extremely determined.

Astra's POV

i can't even believe what i'm looking at. i immediately comment but a few minutes later it's still there.

heart: completely shattered.

and then i get a text from angelica.

stargirl

that schuyler sister
i know
but truly, i am
i was jealous
i'm sorry, i know i was wrong
and this is terrible

stargirl
it's just too bad i don't believe you

that schuyler sister

stargirl
oh come on angelica
you really think i think charli sent that in?
it all just clicked
she'd never do such a thing
but guess who would?
you
you've already done it
and i bet you thought after charli "betrayed" me i would go back to you
but you're wrong
please never text me again
you do not deserve a second chance

that schuyler sister
it wasn't me, it was chase
MESSAGE NOT DELIVERED
chase blackmailed charli

MESSAGE NOT DELIVERED

i walked back downstairs deciding to wait for charli when she got home. i wanted her to explain. i wasn't going to ignore it. i wasn't going to make her go through what i went through.

i start pacing. dixie comes up to me.

"what is going on?!" she says.

"i don't think charli sent that in. i think it was angelica," i say.

"but why? she's already ruined your reputation and has the internet on her side. why would she potentially screw that up?" dixie asks.

confusion hits me. "...i don't know. i need to talk it out with charli."

she nods her head. "ok. please let me know what happens."

i smile. "ok."

she hugs me. "i love you both. this is so stressful."

we laugh and dixie walks away.

i sit and try to calm down while i wait.

there's a knock on the door. and then like 40 more.

i open it and charli stands there looking like a mess.

a tear rolls down her face, which takes a piece of my shattered heart and breaks it down even more. i hate seeing her sad.

i back up and let her walk in.

i close the door and we look each other right in the eye.

and charli just grabs me and hugs me hard.
