~Chapter 36~
Risky
Chases POV:
What Charli went through as a kid is something nobody should have to go through, her parents are part of who she is now.
When I found out what was going on with her at home, I never left her alone there. I started sleeping there every night, I was with her 24/7 and that's probably why our relationship moved so quickly.
My parents were always asking me to come back to the house since I was at charlis house every morning, every night. But I never listened. I didn't want to leave Charli alone with her parents so I grew further apart with mine.
I wish I had spent that extra time with them, I could have brought charli over to my house. I never did.
And now they're gone.
I looked over at Charli and she was asleep
Guess she's tried
I took a blanket and put it on top of her.
I should stay the night, I don't want her to wake up to me being gone.
I'm gonna text Blaire
I picked up my phone and told her I have to stay later for work
Ugh. I hate lying. Balancing 2 relationships at the same time is harder then it looks
Time skip ⏭
2 weeks later
Okay, this is actually going pretty good. Charli and I are still together and its been 2 weeks? Weird.
I still just feel so guilty. Blaire is actually being a good person and here I am in love with another girl. It's getting really hard.
But what makes ma feel even more guilty is that it's hard to feel bad when I'm this happy.
I looked beside me at Blaire sleeping.
She's a beautiful girl, I don't know why I'm not in love with her. Why have I chosen to get married then fall in love with someone else?
Why did I let myself get married to someone I wasn't in love with?
What should I do? I don't wanna go to sleep because it's really early but I have nothing to do-
Oh, I know. I can stalk Charlis Instagram. My favorite past time
I went to Instagram and pressed her profile
I tapped her recent

Aww she's happier than ever-
Hold up- that's me-
What if blaire some how sees this?! Or what if someone Blaire knows sees this and sends it to her??
I mean, obviously this picture is cute but what if someone sees it?
why did she post this??

how do they know my name- Sarah- from high school? That girl who always had a crush on me? She's still friends with charli?
Hm, never thought they'd be friends considering she always tried to get with me while I was with Charli
I need to call Charli
I pressed her contact and went in the bathroom. I pressed call
It rang a phew times than she answered
She groaned
Charli: "Chase it's 3am? what do you want"
It's 3am already? Oh.
Chase: "sorry love did I wake you?"
Charli: "no you didn't"
Chase: "oh ok good, I was just calling to ask you why you posted that picture"
Charli: "what picture"
Chase: "the one of you and I"
Charli: "what, You don't think it's cute?"
Chase: "no, of course I think it's cute. But what if someone we know sees it?"
Charli: "it's not like we're kissing, it could easily be a picture of 2 friends hanging out"
Chase: "the comments don't think so."
Charli: "nobody looks at the comments"
Chase: "could you just take it down love? I think it's a great picture but it's too risky"
Charli: "yeah... okay... Il take it down"
Chase: "thank you"
Charli: "oorrrr I could just block Blaire on Instagram"
That's not gonna do anything? Her friends could screenshot it-
Chase: "but-"
Charli: "yeah Il just do that, k bye"
Chase: "no-"
She hung up-
Okay- well I guess she isn't gonna take it down- well maybe we should be a bit more public. I don't think anyone will find out.
Plus if they do see that picture, we could just say it was taken a long time ago.
It won't be that bad.
I left the bathroom and blaire was there
Blaire: "who was that?"
Uh-
Chase: "that was... work"
Blaire: "oh, why were they calling?"
What do I say?
Chase: "um because they wanted to congratulate me on a promotion..?"
I didn't know what else to say??
Blaire: "really??"
I nodded
Blaire: "that's great!"
She smiled and walked over to me
Blaire: "congratulations"
Chase: "thank-"
She kissed me
This doesn't feel right
Chase: "thanks"
I walked over to the bed and laid down.
I woke up the next morning and stood up.
I'm gonna go to Charlis house, we need to talk.
Charlis POV:
Maybe he's right, maybe I shouldn't have posted that picture. It's risky, i know it's risky. But I want to feel like I have a public boyfriend. I know we have to be private because of our... situation.
But posting that picture made me feel like we were a real couple, I mean obviously we are a real couple. But like a real real couple if that makes sense.
I heard a knock at the door downstairs.
Alexander: "CHARLI CAN YOU GET THAT PLEASE??"
I'm all the way upstairs why do I have to get it
I walked downstairs and opened the door
Chase-
Charli: "what are you doing here?"
I walked outside and closed the door
Chase: "I can't do this"
Is he breaking up with me??
Charli: "do what?"
Chase: "have 2 relationships"
Okay- so he can break up with blaire?
Chase: "Il divorce with Blaire... if you divorce Alexander"
