Days of ignoring Charlie put me in an ineffective mood. I couldn't get anything done. My mind would slowly nag to pick up the phone and respond, but I wouldn't bring myself to do it.

The only thoughts running through my mind was the possibility of me liking Charlie.

What Selena told me was floating in my sub conscience. I wanted the sick feeling to go away. The guilt.

My phone rings for the hundredth time, and I click the answer button instead of the decline button.

"Fuck," I mutter under my breath.

"ERIN!!" Charlie practically yells over the phone, "I thought you'd never pick up!"

"I wasn't planning on it," I say, clenching my teeth together.

"Guess what," He says not waiting for a reply, "My album just came out!!"

"Oh wow..." I say, unenthusiastically, "Is that all?"

"Um, yeah. Can you at least pretend you're happy for me?" He says, his once happy tone wavering.

"Congrats!" I say, with a fake excited voice.

His laugh fills up my room, from my wimpy phone speaker. Somehow, it brought a smile to my face.

"Why have you been ignoring me? I know it was kind of rude to bring Selena along-"

"No, there's nothing wrong," I say, shortly.

"Do you like want to hang out or-" I hang up the phone, and sigh loudly.

My phone pings, and I look at it annoyed.

'so i'll see you at 8' I roll my eyes at his text, he was too persistent for his own good.

Guess we're hanging out.
