Good Boy

Chapter 21

Charlie's POV

"Charlie don't..."

"Louis, you said it yourself! I'm just a fool for even thinking.."

"Thinking what?"

I don't know if I want to finish that sentence. It will make me feel like an even bigger idiot. I have done a lot just to be in Louis' presence since the day we met and he is just so quick to leave me after our kiss.

"Nothing," I sigh.

Louis looks down at his feet once again. I wipe my face before speaking again.

"Thanks for taking me to New York. It was kind of nice meeting you," I laugh through my tears, trying to light up the mood.

"Thanks, Charlie," he laughs and shakes his head.

I head for the door and hope for Louis to grab my arm and tell me to stay. That he won't leave. But my wish doesn't come true once I'm halfway down the hallway crying to myself more with every step I take.

Louis' POV

Finally. I'm back in England. Back where I belong.

That was one hell of a trip.

"Louis!" Harry opens the door once I've knocked on it for like the 15th time.

"Who else would it be?" I tease as I pick up my two bags and walk into the house.

It looks somewhat neat in here. Now I know why they say I'm the messy one. House stays clean when I'm gone.

"Louis?" Liam rubs his eye and sits up from the couch to see me clearly.

"Mhmm," I hum as I walk into the kitchen and grab a half eaten burrito on the table.

"Where's the Irish idiot and the dark haired dipshit?" I bite into my burrito to hide the laughter that came along with those nicknames.

"Niall fell asleep about half an hour ago. Zayn went out to buy a pack of cigarettes," Liam informs me and Harry snatches my burrito, takes a bite, and throws it back at me.

"What the fuck?" I glare at Harry.

"It was mine to begin with," Harry shrugs.

"Well I'm gonna head off to bed.. glad you're back, Lou.. kinda," Liam dismisses himself and heads to his room. Leaving me and Harry in the kitchen taking turns biting into an almost gone burrito.

"So why'd you leave?" Harry asks me and leans against the wall.

"Job interviews and shit," I sigh "and I just needed a break."

Harry nods and I notice some money folded up in the corner of the table near Harry's hand.

"You want that?" I point to the money.

"Yeah, but it's not really mine. It's Charlotte, Cherrie, whatever her name was," Harry responds.

"Charlie." I correct.

I haven't really thought about her since I left New York. Damn Harry for the reminder.

"Yeah, where is she anyways? Have you even talked to her since you dropped her off?"

"You could say that," I say casually before taking the burrito wrapper and throwing it at the garbage can. I miss the shot so it just lays on the floor and I'm not picking it up.

"Next time you see her, tell her that Niall got her the job," Harry tells me before exiting the kitchen.

"I won't be seeing her again, tell her yourselves," I call out to him, not moving from my spot at the kitchen table.

"Really? I thought you guys had something for a minute."

"Me and Charlie? We can't stand each other."

"So you don't like her?"

"Hell no," I lie. Yes I fucking like Charlie but I'm just going to avoid that pathetic feeling for now. It should be gone by tomorrow.

Zayn stumbles through the door before me and Harry's conversation continue any further. Relief washes over me when Harry turns his attention to Zayn before this conversation got into some deep and emotional personal shit.

"Louisss?" Zayn slurs. Damn he's drunk as fuck.

"Don't call out my name, call out Harry's." I point to Harry to guide Zayn's attention. I don't feel like dealing with drunk Zayn so I hope Harry's up for it.

I walk into my bedroom and lay across the bed. Damn I'm exausted. What a day. I check my phone before I decide to pass out for the night. I notice an unread message from Charlie and I debate on whether I should open it or not.

Of course, I open it.

*did you make it to England?*

*yes :/* I respond.

*don't start with the face.*

*;)*

*night, Louis.*

I chuckle to myself before throwing my phone beside me and making myself comfortable and fall into a deep sleep.
