Chapter 12 - The fallout

"This is my stop"Andrea announced.

Her mind wandering off to everything Liam had told her,she couldn't still believe her ears

The car packs in front of a small,cozy,white painted,apartment,bright light peeking from the windows

"We should do this again"

A smirk tugged on Liam's lips as he watched Andrea confused expression.

Lying wasn't Liam,strongest suit,he hated lying but If lying would draw him closer to this beautiful blonde, who had his heart racing with just a look of her almond shaped blue eyes then he won't mind doing it over and over again

"In your dreams billionaire"

Andrea hated to admit it but with the information Liam had given her,they would be seeing each other more often until she gets to the bottom of why the famous Luciana Vince would pay a child to lay false accusations on her.

"Pick me up tomorrow"she commanded,getting out of the car.

The moment she got out,she was greeted with the familiar sound of rain

With her tiny hands wrapped around her body,she made her way inside,not caring to spear Liam another glance.

She opened the door to see Charlotte staring at her,her brown eyes piercing through Andrea blue ones. Her eyebrows quivered with rage.

"Hey Charlotte"Andrea greeted,shooting Charlotte a gentle smile as she moved past Charlotte and made her way inside the house

The warmth of the house hit her skin,making her lose the grip she had on her body.

Today had been quite a day,it went from bad to worse,in just a matter of few hours. It started with receiving a huge amount of Five hundred dollars from an unknown sender,which she stupidly used to purchase the black dress,she had on. She wanted to impress Andrea's father by looking the part because she strongly beloved that a well dressed woman would be listened to. The dress cost her exactly seven hundred dollars,that was all she had left,she though Andrea's father was a sensible man,who could be reasoned with but she was wrong.

Andrea's father turned out to be a thorn. Thank Goodness for Liam Walton coming to her rescue and putting everything in his control.

Questions kept buzzing in Andrea's head,questions she had no answers to.

Liam and Lucas referred to each other as 'Brother'. Is that how men refer to each other? or could they be actually brothers? They look nothing alike both facial and character wise.

Before Andrea could process her thoughts,she found herself taking out her phone from her purse and typing 'The Walton family' her eyes scanning through the screen as her fingers kept scrolling through the web but she found nothing,just familiar pictures of Liam,the same ones she found on Facebook some days ago

Her face fell with disappointment

She couldn't help but wonder why she was so curious about Liam Walton.

Could she have somehow developed feelings for him?

"That's impossible,he is a billionaire"she reminded her self,settling on the coach

"Yes he is and you were seen kissing him"

A angry charlotte appeared in front of her,her eyes filled with rage

Andrea's mind wandered back to the kiss she shared with Liam Walton. Even though,the kiss was nothing more than five seconds,she still felt her heart raising at the taste of his lips and the smell of his cologne and after shave

It was short yet it made her heart race and she couldn't understand why.

Was it because it was her first kiss ever?

"Say something "charlotte demanded,her voice cutting Andrea out of her thoughts

"I erm"

Andrea couldn't find the right words to say.

She wasn't oblivious to the way charlotte felt about Liam yet she let herself get carried away in his lips.

What type of friend was she?

"You erm? Use your words" Charlotte yelled,her tone demanding as her eyebrows knotted in rage as she took slow steps towards Andrea,now,standing in front of her.

Andrea's heart raced with fear.

Fear of loosing her friend,she never thought a man could come in between them but the look on Charlotte's face said other wise.

She lost her job,all her money but she couldn't afford to lose the one person that had been there for her all her life. Her only friend,her only family.

"It was a mistake" Andrea said,her gaze averted to the floor

"A mistake?"charlotte asked mockingly,her tone laced with sarcasm

"A mistake is when you forget to renew your insurance,a mistake is when you break a glass plate,a mistake is when you fall on your face. Kissing Liam Walton can never be considered a mistake"charlotte spat angrily

"It just happened,it was just in the moments,I feel nothing for Liam Walton" Andrea explained trying to assure charlotte

"That's not what the news and blogs says"

Blogs? News?

The kiss was at most three hours ago,how did the news spread so fast?

Andrea raised her head to see brown eyes throwing daggers at her,if looks could kill,she would be six feet under.

"Charlotte pls listen to me,Liam is just my friend,he is just helping with the accusations laid on me,it's nothing more" Andrea tried to reason with charlotte,her voice dripping with desperation.

"I don't care whatever reason you have for hanging out with my Liam but I'll advice,you stay far away from him"

My Liam?

"I'm sorry but I don't think I can do that"

Andrea still needed Liam's help,he was a billionaire,who could provide her with answers but she was a nobody and she couldn't handle the accusations thrown on her alone.

If she doesn't find a way to clear her name from the accusation board then she would never be able to get another job because she would be tagged as the woman that tried to have her way with a child.

Liam may have saved her today but he won't always be there to save her from the harsh words of people.

"You can't or you won't?" Charlotte asked,her eyebrows raised towards Andrea.

Charlotte couldn't believe her best friend,Andrea,would do such a thing to her.

Andrea was very well aware of how charlotte felt for Liam so why would she kiss him? She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the blogs on instagram.

Charlotte was still trying to get over that,when she saw Liam's G-wagon drop off Andrea.

"I need him,charlotte,pls try to understand" Andrea pleaded,her voice filed with desperation as her blue eyes scanned Charlotte's brown ones searching for understanding but all she got was an angry glare

"You really are a bitch" Charlotte spat angrily,her voice raising with every word.

"All this years, I've stayed with you,fed you when you had nothing,housed you when you couldn't afford rent and even worked double jobs for your sake back in college and this is the thanks I get?"

"You ungrateful wrench,I see why your parents abandoned you,I would have done the same if I had a child like you"charlotte uttered bitterly,eyeing Andrea with disgust.

Charlotte knew she crossed the line when she saw the tears fall from those beautiful blue eyes but she couldn't help it,she was far too angry and she was feeling pain.

All her life,she had lived in Andrea's shadow,seeing all her ex lovers drool over Andrea while she got nothing but raw sex and heartbreaks.

But charlotte never let any of that get in the way of her friendship,she kept ignoring the ping of jealousy that kept stabbing her head in the chest but today? She couldn't take it.

If she isn't happy then Andrea doesn't deserve happiness either.

The sound of Andrea's tears filled the air

Charlotte wanted to hug her friend and tell her she didn't mean any of what she had just said but she couldn't bring herself to doing that.

The pain of seeing Andrea and Liam together was too heart wrenching,she couldn't bear it.

"What do you think? That he loves you?" Charlotte loud sarcastic laughs filled the atmosphere,eyeing Andrea with disgust.

"He is a billionaire and you're a nobody,he will dumb you,the minute,he gets bored,good luck" with that said,charlotte walked out of sight,leaving a red eyed Andrea, sobbing on the couch.

Charlotte's cruel words kept ringing in Andrea's head and she couldn't help but feel like she had made a mistake.

A mistake that made her lose her friend.

Charlotte was her only friend,her only family.

Charlotte was all she had and now,she had lost her,all because of Liam Walton.
