Good Boy

Chapter 5

Charlie's POV

"AHHHHHHHHHHH"

There is a huge spider just chilling on the wall of my hotel room. Usually my dad would come kill it.

But no.

I grab my shoe and I slowly walk over to the spider. Very very slowly.

Now I remember why I never came back to this hotel.

It sucks.

In a quick moment, I shut my eyes and start banging my shoe against the wall, hoping I get the spider and brutaly kill it.

After a few seconds, I open one eye and i see the FREAKING SPIDER MOVING FAST ACROSS THE WALL.

"AHHHHHHHHH," I scream once again.

"Ma'am are you okay?" A decent sized brunette man rushes into my room. I assume he's a worker since he has a key to my room. His name tag reads 'Jathan'

"There is a huge spider struting across my wall!" I yell and point toward the wall

"Ma'am there is no spider.." Jathan assures me and chuckles a bit.

"Don't tell me there is no spider in here when he is clearly taking up half of my.."

I look over at where the spider was until I realize it's gone. What.

"Wall," I slowly finish my sentence as I carefully search around my suite. I feel Jathan's eyes on me but they turn to confusion shortly after.

"I'm going to have to ask you to stop screaming in this hotel, or either just step outside for a minute, you look like you could use some fresh air," Jathan suggests. He gives me a warm smile to assure me that everything is okay. Or to hide the fact that he thinks I'm crazy. I'm not sure.

"I'm gonna just.." I hurry towards the door "step out for a second."

I run out and close the door behind me. I'm not sure if the spider just scurried off in hid somewhere in my room or if I'm just crazy. I don't even want to know.

This is only my second night here and I'm already running.

Maybe I should do some job searching? I mean I'm eighteen years old, I live with my father, I have no job, and no money. This time seems like the best time to search.

I go to a local grocery store across the street in hopes of them hiring. I just need a quick temporary job for now. Nothing special.

"Charlotte?" I hear a familiar Irish accent as I walk into the store.

"Niall, hi!" I wave to Niall. He is smiling at me from behind a cash register with a name tag. Out of all people I didn't really think of Niall working at a grocery store.

"What are you doing here, Charlotte?" Niall smiles once more. He really gets some joy out of saying a name that he thinks is mine.

"My name is Charlie. Just Charlie," I giggle as I correct Niall's error.

"Even better," He laughs "now tell me, why are you here?"

"Well there was a huge spider in my room so I ran out," I awkwardly explain to him, even though almost everyone's fear is a spider I'm still embarrased by the fact that I'm scared of spiders "and while I was running I decided to apply for a job."

"You're gonna apply here?" Niall asks me as he holds up a finger to a customer telling them to wait a second. The fact that he would make a customer wait when he could possibly get fired just to talk to the girl he just met in the airport makes me feel pretty damn special.

"If I can," I tell him.

"There are no more job openings, but I can talk to my manager about letting you in. Maybe you could take some of my shifts," Niall offers.

I don't think anyone understands how much I wanna hug this Irish lifesaver right now.

"You would really do that? For me? Would you still get paid decently? I don't want--"

"Calm down," Niall laughs "the manager loves me, I got this all under control."

Nothing stops me from hugging Niall this time.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!" I release Niall from our hug and I head towards the door.

"Charlie wait!" Niall calls out and I turn around.

"What?"

"If you need some more money to pay for your night's at the hotel then you could stop by and pick up some more money from us. It's Harry's turn to pay so you should probably find him," Niall informs me.

"Uh that's fine you guys don't need to--"

"No, we want to," Niall assures me.

I give Niall a small smile and I mouth a "thank you" toward him as I head for the door again.

"I'll pick you up from the hotel after work later so you could get the money," Niall tells me more than he offers as he start to bag his next customers items.

I nod and I rush out. I can't handle so much kindness. I have nothing in return for them and I feel bad about that.

---

"Knock knock," I hear Niall yell from the other side of the door.

I open the door and I am greeted by Niall's warm smile as he holds up his keys.

"Let's go!"

Sorry if this is bad and short. And I changed the story cover! And the title is changed from 'Sentence' to 'Spider' ! I had a great idea for the events that will happen within the story and the title 'Spider' just fits better. My plans for the story haven't changed. Just the idea behind the plans haha. Lol forgive this crappy chapter I wrote it late last night and I had a bad day so I was tired af. Hope you still enjoyed it though!
Vote pls! xx
