I fell asleep as soon as I got into the house, because I was that exhausted from my tears that it was that easy for me to go to sleep. I woke a while later after hearing the front door slam closed. I jumped, and got up from my bed to see what the noise was.
I walked out of the bedroom, tip-toeing and hearing noise and voices from downstairs. I listened carefully to what I could hear they were saying.
''You're a fucking joke mate, why cant you take no for an answer?'' I heard Tasha say furiously. I listened more carefully, stepping down the stairs extremely carefully and as quiet as I possibly could.
''Tasha's right. You're not welcome here.'' Rob agreed, making me angry. Surely, he couldn't take no for an answer either, whoever he was talking to? I told him I didn't want to speak to him again, and he had rushed back to the house without a second thought.
Surely, he could give me a few days to get over him instead of coming round here as soon as he had broken my heart and forcing me to deal with it. It was beyond the point of unfair, and he was really making me upset about it, actually.
''Look, I just wanted to talk to Charlie.'' I gasped in shock, hearing Nick's voice. I raced downstairs and into the hallway to go and see him. It was me he wanted to see, so it was me that he could see.
''Rob already said you're not fucking welcome here!'' Rachael shouted in fury as I opened the kitchen door. I looked around the kitchen in shock, taking in the situation and what was going on here.
Rob was sat at the kitchen table, sat on them high chairs, and Nick was in front of him, leaning casually on the kitchen side. Tasha was sat next to Rob, and Kellan was standing up, next to her, and holding her hand.
And Rachael was next to Nick, having a awful go at him, shouting at him, and staring at him threateningly. It annoyed me; if anyone she should be having a go at, it was Rob not Nick. I was furious with Rob, and I found the energy in me to forgive Nick now.
Everyone turned round to look at me in shock and Rob and Nick's eyes both went wide at the same time, making me sigh in response. Rob had no chance if he thought that I was going to forgive him just like that, not after the way that he had behaved.
Yeah, I might be a pushover, and yes, I worshipped the ground that Rob walked on, but I wasn't going to forgive him after he had broke his promise to me. He could have the Girl that he was crushing on tonight, I didn't need him.
''Did you want to talk to me, Nick?'' I asked him. The others all gasped in shock in time together in response to the fact that I would actually give Nick a chance. Well, at least Nick hadn't forgotten about me like some people; he had only had a go at Rob, which I could understand why, right now.
''Are you actually going to speak to him? Actually going to give him a chance after the way that he's acted-''
''-I was speaking to Nick.'' I reminded Rachael sourly, interrupting her before she could carry on.
''Fucking speak to the idiot, then.'' She huffed furiously in response and shook her head. She looked away quickly and shoved her arms across her chest in response.
I ignored her sulking though and turned back to look at Nick, encouraging him to carry on. At least, he wouldn't cheat on me. It felt as though Rob had cheated on me, anyway; I mean, me and Rob had practically been together before my holiday, but he had soon forgotten about that. Typical Guy, really.
''Urm, can we go somewhere else? Outside maybe?'' Nick suggested nervously. I shook my head in response.
''No, whatever you need to say can be said here. We have nothing to hide, right?'' I asked him, because it was true. He nodded, smiling at me as hope flickered in his eyes. I sensed that he wanted me back, and right now, I felt the same.
And no, it wasn't just about Rob; it was about everything. He had meant a lot to me when we were going out with each other and Rob only turned out to be the Guy that I didn't think that he was.
At least, Nick was easy, simple, and he was a laugh too. He always managed to make me smile and laugh, and he was great company to be around. Just not when he was drunk, but I could deal with that.
''I wanted to apologize for when you were here.'' He admitted honestly. I nodded, smiling at him in encouragement to carry on with whatever else that he had to say. ''And er…I don't know if you know but I've been visiting the house quite a bit-''
''Huh, quite a bit! More like every day, you stalker!'' Rob replied furiously, shocking me. I turned back round and glared at him, surprising him now. Good, because I wanted him to know that I was furious with him.
''And what has it got to do with you, if he has? And I thought I told you tonight that I didn't want you speaking to me?'' I demanded angrily. He childishly locked his lips with his finger and shrugged. I watched him confused and watched him turn to look at Rachael.
''Tell Charlie, that technically I wasn't speaking to her, I was speaking to Nick, and if she wants to be childish, then so can I.'' Rob asked cheekily, childishly. I felt my face redden in temper this time, not blushing.
''Ur Charlie, Rob say that-''
''-Ha-ha!'' I replied sarcastically, turning back round to glare at Rachael now. ''You're not funny, you know Rachael.''
''I was only telling you what Rob said-''
''-Well you can tell him to fuck off, cant you?'' I demanded.
She turned away and looked at Rob. ''Charlie said fuck off.'' She told him honestly. I stood, waiting for his reply and trying not to lose my temper with them both. They were so fucking immature and it was not funny.
''You can tell her that I said that she's the one being immature, now.'' Rob replied; trying to joke around at my own game. I could tell that there was hope in his voice about me talking to him again, but he had no chance.
''Charlie, Rob said that-''
''-I'm not deaf Rachael. I heard what he said!'' I shouted at her furiously. I was so angry now, especially as he was twenty eight; six years older than me. So much for being the more 'mature' one.
''Alright, stress head!'' She complained, telling me that she was just as pissed off with me as Rob. I didn't care, because I was absolutely furious with both her and Rob.
''Well you can tell Rob that he's the immature one, being twenty eight. And that if he doesn't get out of this kitchen in ten seconds, I will do something that I fucking regret.'' I promised her furiously.
She stared at me for several moments, seeming shocked with my behavior tonight. I didn't care though; there was no way that I was going to let Rob break my heart anymore than he had done in the past.
''I may be your friend Charlie, but you're well out of order tonight.'' She told me angrily, making me huff in response. I wasn't going to take advice off of her. She was hardly the person to go to for love advice.
''And just for the record darling, it's a shame if you do take Nick back, because Rob hasn't done anything wrong. That Girl who he was with has actually been stalking him for the whole of last week.'' She told me, making me huff again in response.
Yeah, I believed her. Not.
''And he agreed to be her friend, and this one,'' she said, rudely pointing at Nick. ''Has been stalking the house for the whole if two weeks, for every single day.'' She carried on, whilst I was still trying hard not to do something that I regretted to either one of them.
''Rob has been down about it, as in really down. And do you want to know why?'' I shook my head, making her huff. I didn't want to know about him, because he was just making me more and more angry.
''Well tough, because I'm going to tell you anyway.'' She spelled it out for me. ''Because he's in love with you. He's madly in love with you and since you walked out of that door, he's been so down about you leaving.'' She spelled it out for me, even though I was sure that she was lying about that.
''Believe it or not, but that was the first time that we got him to go out clubbing-''
''-He seemed pretty happy to me.'' I interrupted her, because it was true. She shook her head and backed away from me in response.
''I'm not even going to bother talking to you, because I'll end up saying something that I regret.'' She walked over to Rob and surprised him by pulling him up roughly. ''Come on Rob, before she kills you. Or I kill her, either one.'' She added.
''What did she say last to me? You didn't tell me so I didn't hear.'' Rob joked, making Rachael sigh heavily in response.
''We're not playing anymore, Rob!'' She shouted at him, hitting him round his head and making him complain. Tasha laughed in response but as soon as I had turned to look at her, she stopped laughing.
Without another word, she walked out of the door, leading Kellan with her by his hand. I sighed heavily, trying not to cry as I realized that all of the Girls actually hated me. It was obvious, even Kirsty was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as I began to sob however, Nick held me in his arms, stopping me crying because I was in shock.
''Hey, it's okay.'' He whispered against my hair, but that just made me cry even more. I had lost my friends, and I hated Rob more than anything in this world, right now. He was acting like a bastard after the way that he had treated me.
Okay, so maybe I was acting like a spilt brat, but I was hurt and I had just wanted to punish Rob for hurting me like how he had tonight. Was that so much to ask for? And now, now I had lost all my friends; because they had actually chosen Rob over me.
''No, its not! My friends all hate me now, and Rob is acting so immature, and all I wanted to do was hurt him, because I was jealous.'' I finally admitted the real reason why it had upset me so much.
It was because I was jealous, I knew that. How could I not be jealous when he had meant a lot to me? Did he mean a lot to me now?
Yeah, of course.
Did I still love him like before?
I couldn't tell you right now, because I wasn't too sure.
