Good Boy

Chapter 56

Charlie's POV

I flutter my eyes open and see a hint of daylight peeking through the curtains. I hear voices coming from the other room, but I'm only half awake. I can barely make out who those voices belong to.

"Look, I just want to talk to Charlie. Not at all did I come here to see you, what's your deal anyways?" One voice huffs.

I hear nothing from the other voice that I heard moments ago. I just hear faint tears coming from the room.

I stand to my feet and slowly tip toe towards the sounds as quiet as possible. I stumble a bit, as if I was sleep walking. But, that's just my weird morning side effect.

I peek around the corner and spot a messy brunette arguing with a tear stained blonde girl.

Louis and Linda.

My heart gets heavy. My eyes begin to water. I get shaky, but I hold it all together and hold my ear up near the wall.

"Louis, you don't understand the life of a girl. Guys like you are what make a girl's life suck," I hear Linda snap.

Couldn't agree more.

"I didn't come here for girl lessons," Louis sighs and I hear footsteps coming towards my way and I try to make a quick escape.

But instead, I fall face down on the floor.

"Charlie?" Louis stares at me on the floor intensely. His eyes becoming a deeper blue than usual.

"Hmm?" I sit up and rub my possibly swollen head.

"How long have you been awake?" Louis reaches his hand out to help me, but I don't know how to handle his sudden gesture. I slowly reach out for his hand and he doesn't look awfully uncomfortable, I could tell this was new for both of us though.

"A little while.." I look away from his eyes once I stand to my feet in front of him again.

There is an awkward silence and the air is full of tension and sadness. I don't like being this way, I want to be perfectly happy with Louis.

"Nothing actually happened between me and the blonde one," Louis blurts and I nod.

I didn't really think they slept together or anything. I'm angry at how spiteful Louis is. How far he will go to win.

"I don't really care, Louis. Kiss whoever you want," I shrug.

I'm surprised at how calm I sounded when that nearly killed me to say.

Louis is astounded by my words. They actually make him take a step back. Shock reaches his eyes and his mouth falls open, no words coming out of it.

"What?" He chokes.

"Kiss whoever you want. You're single right? You can have many girls at your feet if you give them the ok, I'm surprised you're here with me." I chuckle, literally holding back a rainfall of tears.

"You know I will always come back to you, Charlie."

"Shouldn't be a reason for you to return. You should have never left."

"Fuck, can we talk this out? In a better way?" Louis groans and I roll my eyes.

As much as I love Louis, his bullshit is really ruining things.

"Is everything alright in here?" Linda walks in which pauses me and Louis' brewing argument. I notice her puffy red eyes, I can tell she was trying to wipe away all of her tears.

"Everything is alright," I assure her as I brush past Louis "we just decided we were going to head out and discuss a few things.."

They both look at me in disbelief, if I could, I would too. But, I have to keep my confidence up high right now.

"Louis, let's go," I rush. He quickly walks out the door, closing it behind him as we step outside.

"Y-you're actually going to t-talk to me?" Louis stutters in shock and I sigh and roll my eyes.

"Obviously going to end up hearing your bullshit, might as well get it over with and just listen now."

His eyes flicker with some unknown emotion but he shakes it off before I can catch it.

"Do you believe I love you?" Louis asks me quizzedly and I almost laugh in his face before he can even get the question out.

"No, why the hell should I?" I laugh "you're an ass towards me! You humiliate me, take advantage of me, lie to me, hurt me, how the hell could you love me?"

"I love you, Charlie. I know I do. I am an ass towards everyone who is closer to you than I am. I humiliate myself to reach you. Never have I once took advantage of you, I enjoy every last bit of you. And you are not the only one hurt, Charlie!"

We stand in that awkward silence again. I don't know how to process this. Everything. I need some sort of getaway. Louis takes a step closer to me and I waste no time connecting my lips with his.

He is my getaway.

"I love you," he disconnects our lips and whispers into my ear.

Do I believe him? Not so sure, but I will take what I can get at the moment.

"I love you too, Louis," I breathe "I love you."
