Charlie thought you were fucking annoying and he let everybody know it.

but since everyone in the group loved you, he was left feeling like a goddam psychopath.

because you were so much younger than the whole group was, they were often left unable to do certain activities just so you didn’t get left out.

he had thought that forcing the rest of the friend group to go to some house party would finally get them to realise they didn’t need you in the group. though of course, they found a way to still convince you to come with them.

Charlie was fucking pissed and spent half the party sat on the couch, glaring at you until eventually it got so late into the night where he found himself unable to hold his tongue.

he felt like this was it, his was the night you were going snap back at him. it had came up in topic… sort of. not really at all.

but as some point he found himself making a joke about your weight of all things he could have said.

the moment he spoke— he immediately wished that he hadn’t. because he wasn’t a dick until it came to you, most people usually described him as chill.

though he didn’t feel chill when he was the only one to catch your face drop when others were too busy laughing, he didn’t feel chillwhen you went nonverbal for the rest of the night and he certainly didn’t feel chill when you couldn’t look at him even when he had been appointed to give you a ride home.

After a battle of trying to get you to go with him and not pay fifty bucks in an uber, you finally sat in his passenger seat watching out the front window at the long never ending road.

Charlie’s hand wrested casually on the steering wheel, easily navigating the dangerous machine, with the other hand on the window ledge. He appeared relaxed, though you didn’t miss the not so subtle glanced he continued to throw.

“you not speaking to me now?” Charlie finally snapped after sitting in such a deafening silence, the awkwardness making both of you uncomfortable. “It was a joke, {{user}}— grow up.”
