Good Boy

Chapter 20

Charlie's POV

"Hey Jackson.." My voice is barely above a whisper because of how horrible I feel. He is smiling bright and is so happy and I am holding his world in my hands preparing to crush it.

"Charlie! Glad you showed up! I didn't know what was up with you earlier so I got you a gift to make you feel better," He beams at me and brings out a small black box from his pocket.

Silently praying this isn't a wedding ring.

Jackson hands me the small box and I nervously smile at him. I wish he didn't do this. I open the small box and I almost faint at the sight.

It is a small golden heart shaped locket necklace. It is absolutely gorgeous. There is nothing inside the necklace and I simply look up at Jackson with tears beginning to fill my eyes.

"What's got you down?" Jackson wraps his arms around me and that's when I burst into tears. This is the time to come clean before things get too serious between us.

"Jackson I.." I sniff "I think I might.. well.. I think I might have feelings for Louis. I have feelings for you too but.. with Louis it's different.."

I look up at Jackson who has sadness in his eyes but no tears. I'm the worst. Absolute worst. Instead of cursing me out like he should have, Jackson hugs me tighter in his arms as I cry.

"I love you.." he whispers before kissing my forehead.

I can't bring myself to say the same thing. I have feelings for Jackson but I don't love him. I love him as a friend, but I'm not in love with him. I hate myself for that but I don't love him. So I nod in his arms and continue to quietly sob in the corner of the store.

Louis POV

I have packed almost everything to leave tonight. I could just wait until tomorrow, but I can't stay here too long. Nor am I going to. So I'll just take the train.

Even though trains piss me the fuck off.

It's about 6:00pm right now so if I leave now I can make it back around 1:00am. Good enough.

Charlie is going to hate my fucking guts after this. Hopefully I won't be around to see her hate. I've seen it enough times and I hate her hate.

My phone buzzes on my bedside table and I pick it up and answer it.

"What?" I answer, already knowing who this is.

"Louis?" She sniffs. Is she fucking crying?

"That's who you called, right?" My sarcasm takes over me and I try to push it down but I'm shitting myself for trying.

"Mhmm," she sighs, clearly annoyed with me already "I just need someone to talk to right now.."

"I uh.." I try to decide whether to invite her over or not but I know that if I do then I won't be able to leave "can't talk right now."

"Please Louis? I know you hate me and all but put that aside for a second this is serious."

How the fuck am I suppose to say no to this girl crying over the phone begging me to talk to her. If this was any day before today, I would be able to tell her to get lost without hesitation. But after I kissed that girl, I don't know if I can say no to anything.

Shit. I got to get off the phone with her now because I'm already having second thoughts.

"Charlie. I have to go. Bye," I dismiss her without emotion or sympathy.

I have to leave. Now.

Charlie's POV

Fuck his response, I'm gonna go talk to him anyways.

I just broke up with my boyfriend because of him so his ass better be nice to me.

I stand up from the front porch and begin to walk down to Louis' place which isn't too far from here. I didn't want to go in my aunt's apartment because I don't feel like answering all of the "where have you been??" questions and I'm actually running from that huge spider crawling on the ground near the porch.

Once I make it to Louis' place, my heart beats faster and faster. This feeling is annoying but I kinda like it.

I greet the lady at the desk as I walk by to find Louis' room. Once I reach his room I knock on the door and there is no answer so I wait.

"If that is who I think it is then I suggest you leave," Louis' voice says through the door, not bothering to open it.

I see that damn spider crawling towards my way out of the corner of my eye and I am just about ready to give up on trying to get rid or that spider.

"Damn spider quit following me I hate you," I hiss at the spider.

"Hallusinations again?" Louis questions and I can literally feel him smirking.

"No.." I mumble "Louis just open the damn door!"

Louis surprisingly opens the door and the two bags behind him automatically catch my eye.

"Louis.. you're leaving?" My lip quivers at the thought.

Louis looks away from me and nods his head as he places his hands in his pockets.

"You promised you would stay.." I remind him quietly and he nods again.

"I once told you that I would stay away from you, Charlie," he tells me "I don't keep promises."

I feel a tear roll down my cheek and I wipe it away quickly before Louis notices. He notices just in time and then takes a step closer to me and I am frozen in place

"It was just one kiss, Charlie. You will get over this, I promise."

I turn away from him because watching him give the speech of ending something that barely started feels like hell.

"But Louis, you don't keep promises."
