Good Boy

Chapter 38

Charlie's POV

It has been 3 days since I've spoken to Louis. I haven't told my father about him just yet. I was, once again, giving Louis second chances and time to apologize. But it's been three days and he hasn't said anything.

Why am I waiting for his call? Why is he doing this to me? Making me like him and then shutting that down? Why am I letting that continue? Why do I feel so willing to let it continue?

"Charlie.. can we talk?" My father taps my bedroom door as we walk in and I give him a sly smile.

"Yeah.. I have to explain myself," I sit up from my bed and he takes a seat beside me "I have been avoiding you lately and for that I am truly sorry. I have been out with a few friends lately but they are not really.. workers."

I begin to play with my nail and my father urges me to go on.

"I met five guys. Louis, Harry, Niall, Liam, and Zayn. I met them at the airport after you left and they payed for my hotel stay for a couple of days. Niall even got me that job. Anyways, one specific one, Louis, is the one who dropped me off at New York, caused me to miss the flight, and has been occupying my time. He is that tattooed 'rat' you ran into that one time. He even spoke to him once but you didn't actually know him. He has lied for me. I lied to you."

My father has no emotion in his face and it breaks my heart how he doesn't even have that disapproving look. He shakes his head slowly and even begins to.. laugh a little?

"Well good thing you'll never see him again," He chuckles.

This is what I wanted. For my father to forbid me from seeing Louis so it would be easier to stay away. But after he forbids me, I have the urge to slap him.

"I will be seeing Louis again," I argue.

"No you will not, Charlie. Do you see that kid? Poorly groomed, tattoos, and pitiful. Not at all what you need. Where is that Jackson kid?"

"Yes I will. Louis is not poorly groomed at all. His tattoos doesn't define him. And he is not at all even close to pitiful. Louis can be worth a lot if he actually tries, you just have to know him. And Jackson is nothing like Louis," I defend.

It's so weird. The words I have been denying to myself are the ones I have just said.

"If you ever go out to see that boy again, don't even try coming back, Charlie. Do you understand?"

My mom tells me to stay with Louis. But, my dad says stay away from him. I want to listen to both. I shouldn't have told my dad, I could have limited my choices.

There is a knock on the front door after a minute of silence and anger filling the room.

"I'll get it," I mumble before standing to my feet to answer the front door without even checking the peep hole.

Damn it, I should have checked the peep hole.

"Hey," Louis greets me nervously and looks away from my eyes. My heart drops when I hear my father storming in the room behind me.

"Charlie, what the hell did I just say about that rat? Get your naive ass back over here!" My father yells.

Louis and I both look back at my father. My face is full of disgust and Louis' just say pissed off.

"Who the fuck are you calling a naive ass?" Louis yells "because I know it's not your fucking daughter!"

"Who the hell are you yelling at?" My dad yells back "because I know it's not her damn father!"

"Ooh those are such big boy words," Louis laughs and I roll my eyes. His sarcasm will forever rule him.

"Stay away from my daughter. I'm warning you," My father warns Louis and Louis shrugs.

"What happens if I don't?" Louis questions.

"Are you challenging me?" My father fumes.

"You could take it that way," Louis calmly says.

"Then I will kill you. I will kick her out of this house and never let her step foot in it ever again," My father notices Louis' sarcastic carefree attitude and starts to do the same.

Louis walks into the kitchen and grabs a knife. Before I can infreeze from my current spot to comprehend what he was doing, he hands my father the knife.

"Kill me. Stab me anywhere you would like. Then once I'm dead, tell Charlie to pack her bags, she's leaving."

I am so confused and a little pissed at both of them. They are both acting like kids. I haven't spoken to Louis in 3 days and he insists on hurting me. Yet, here he is, standing in front of my father and waiting to be killed. For me.

"Charlie has no where to go," My dad points out.

"She knows where I live. The boys will take care of her for me. Now, kill me like you said you were going to."

I look back and forth between my father and Louis. I know my father won't kill him. He doesn't have the heart to do so. He lowers the knife and Louis smirks. Wow he is an ass.

"Charlie. What are you going to do?" My father asks clearly. His glare not off of Louis yet.

"I.. I want to go. With Louis.." I decide.

Louis begins to hum as he walks away. My father looks over at me with pain in his eyes and I feel like I was stabbed.

"I should have known you would choose him. You chose him over me on our father daughter day."

Our father daughter day! I went out to lunch with Louis instead! That's why he was so upset with me.

Without another word, my father leaves the room and I don't move.

"Charlie.." Louis begins but I stop him.

"Let's just go."

I grab my phone from my room and storm out of the house. Louis follows me and he doesn't say anything. Even though I chose Louis, I am still very angry at him. For multiple reasons.

"What the hell is wrong now?" Louis rudely asks once we get in the car.

"What the hell do you think is wrong? Ever since I've met you, you have been making me worse and worse! My father hates me because of you now! I hate me because of you! You hate me because of problems within yourself which leads back to you! This is so ridiculous! You are so confusing, Louis! You make me feel so special one minute and like a piece of shit the next! You act like you give a shit about me but we all know for a fact that you don't! So just know that I didn't choose you for you. I chose you to get away from my father because he has the same childish attitude as you. I don't feel like dealing with that right now."

I realize that I am now crying and my head begins to slightly hurt. Louis shows no emotion and starts the car to drive away from the house. I look out the window, not even bothering to wait for his answer.

"I don't hate you. I honestly don't," Louis confirms.

That is all that is said for the rest of the carride. We both sit in silence.
