Good Boy

Chapter 34

Charlie's POV

"Dad?" I call out once I enter the house.

"I'm here," he sighs and lays his head up off the couch.

"Sorry I'm coming home so late," I check the time and it is 11:00pm "I got caught up in something."

"Like what?" He asks. He seems a bit.. off? Unfocused actually.

"Well I went out with a friend," I lie. I gulp down the word 'friend' because of the reminder of Louis that comes along with it "we got caught in conversation."

"Oh.." My dad sighs again "well I'm going to bed, Charlie. Goodnight."

My dad rubs his eyes and walks out of the livingroom to head towards his bedroom. He seems gloomy and upset. He didn't even quiz me that much on where I have been. What's his problem?

I rub my hands through my hair and walk to my bedroom. Long day today. I went from avoiding Louis, to being friends with Louis, to almost being his cell buddy, and to end up avoiding him again.

He is like a rollercoaster. Many ups and downs.

I change into my pajamas and crawl into my bed. I check my phone for any messages. Nothing.

My heart sinks a little when there is no text whatsoever to apologize or explain.

Sleep. All I need right now is sleep. Maybe Louis is my nightmare dressed like a dream. I can't handle him being my reality.

---

I am woken up at 9:00am by my phone buzzing under my pillow.

A text.

I retrieve my phone quickly, eager to see if it's Louis attempting to fix at least something he did wrong.

*can you come over? please?* Louis' text reads. He can't be fucking serious.

*lol im not going over there ever again. if im lucky, I will never have to see YOU ever again.*

*charlie dont be a child. please. come over, this is important.*

*tell me over text.*

*it wont be the same. just come over, and if you get offended then you choose if you stay or not.*

*i truly dont want to go there*

*i truly dont care.*

*see? you're an ass! why do I even waste my time on you?*

*come over or i'll go over there. you choose, im putting my shoes on now.*

*dont. i'll be there. now leave me alone!*

I lock my phone before he responds and prepare to go see Louis for hopefully the last time. I throw my hair in a high ponytail, slip on some blue skinny jeans, put on my black tank top, and white converse before heading out the door. Luckily, my dad is still sleep. No questions being spat at me.

After awhile of walking, I make it to their house. I see Louis' car parked up front, he must have went and got it this morning.

I knock on the door twice before Louis swings it open.

"Hey," he mumbles. He invites me over and acts like he doesn't want me to be here. I should have just blocked his number.

"Hey," I mock him and he rolls his eyes.

"Well I did invite you here to share something or some things about.. everything," He explains.

He always gives an explanation. And he causes me to always be owed an explanation.

"Go ahead, Louis. Just know that nothing you say is going to make me stop myself from running out of this house the second you finish this speech. So go on before I get a head start," I spit.

Louis takes a step back and breathes in and out before loosing his shit. I can tell he wants to.

"Why do I even fucking try?" He says under his breath.

"Try what Louis? Everything we have ever done was ruined by you."

"Why do I even fucking try to be close to you? Why  do I even try to argue with you just to see your face turn a dark shade of pink? Why do I even try to do weird shit just for your attention? Why the actual fuck am I still trying?"

I almost gasp at Louis' words. I take a step back and stare at him. My mouth is open but no words come out. As for Louis, he looks like he's about to punch something.

"I don't want to say my 'speech' anymore. If you want to fucking run then go ahead."

He seems hurt over something, I haven't even said anything yet. He hasn't looked me in the eye since I got here. I really want to know what's got him down.

"Did Harry tell you to say that, too? Do you have that 'confession' written under your sleeve or something?" I unintentionally laugh in his face "I'm done playing your games, Tommo. Do me a favor and just leave me alone, as if we never met."

I want to slap myself but applaud myself. I think Louis has just admitted his feelings for me?? But I just don't feel like it's true. But, something in his eyes are saying

He means it more than anything.

"Do you really think that low of me? That I would actually talk about this feelings shit just to piss you off? Well guess what, Charlie," He lifts up the sleeves on both of his arms "I wasn't pulling a fucking prank. And the friend thing, yes Harry told me to do that but you don't know the damn story behind it."

I can tell Louis is hurt. By what? I'm not completely sure. His face is neutral but his voice was booming off the walls and his hands are balled in fists.

"Where do you get joy out of making me miserable?" I sigh and rub my temples.

"I'm not trying to make your life miserable. I'm a miserable person so what the hell did you expect?"

Louis is so hard on himself and it effects everyone around him, that's his problem.

"Louis, you are not a miserable person," I assure him and run a hand through my hair "you're just so closed up that it effects everyone around you."

We stand in silence for a minute. Finally, I sigh and whisper a small bye before turning for the door.

"Is this it?" He asks.

I nod even though it hurts me. I haven't known Louis for a long time. But, I feel like he's meant to be here. In my life. I don't know how he fits in, but he belongs here.

"Charlie, before you go.. can you kiss me one last time," Louis' softly spoken words make my heart melt. But, I can't let him treat me like dirt. But he should get at least one kiss for actually kind of helping me out.

I take two steps to Louis and press my lips against his. I am going to miss his strawberry lips moving in sync with mine. Oh gosh I need this boy. I need him to bother me. I need him to hate me. I need him to like me. I need him to talk to me. I need him to kiss me. I need him.
