Good Boy

Chapter 62

Updated character list! Needed another one since some characters have been added. Even put some that aren't in the story that often but might make reappearances. And I am aware that the 1D characters have pictures from different years except Louis. That's just how I imagine them looking in the story at the moment. And yes, I imagine Niall, Harry, and Zayn's hair like that. Niall has a snapback on for the majority of time in this story though. And I meant to tell you guys awhile ago, I imagine Charlie as Danielle Campbell from THE ORIGINALS. NOT STARSTRUCK. Same person, but different look. Do you guys want me to start putting different pictures of the characters that go with each chapter so yall can stay updated on the look¿? Love you guysss x

Charlie's POV

I open my eyes slowly to find myself in Louis' arms, laying in his bed. I sit up and stare at him, trying to piece everything together. His face is tear stained and his tiny eyes are slightly puffy. Small snores are escaping his pink lips and I fight the urge to reach over and kiss him. I should be gone by now but I am now aware of the fact that I probably fell asleep in Louis' arms from being so emotionally drained. He probably took us to his room so we're in no one's way.

He has hurt me like no other, he is emotionally killing me. But, I love him. So much. It hurts to know that we couldn't make it. I wanted it to work with him. I wanted everything to work out.

But there is absolutely no hope now.

I try to slip from his grip but he holds me closer to him.

"Don't go.." he mumbles and shifts in his sleep.

"I have to," I sigh, even though he probably can't hear me.

I slip from his grip in success without him noticing this time. I shouldn't feel bad. He isn't going to give two shits about me as soon as I walk out of that door. My time is over, he is moving on.

"Why did you do this to me, Louis?" A tear falls down my face as I softly whisper towards him before walking out of the room.

No one is in the living room so I can leave peacefully without any questions being asked. Once I step outside, a pool of tears fall from my eyes. I am always leaving him. But that's because he has mentally left me.

Something tells me that this is the final time. Our final shot. Our last chance.

I try to look through my blurry vision and guide my path with street lights and the night sky. Until I finally reach my destination.

I knock on the door until Linda answers. This is one of the few times I catch her not crying. Her hair is wavy and her makeup is done beautifully. She has a dark red mini dress with a bit of cleavage showing. Did I interuppt something?

"Charlie? What's wrong?" Linda asks, worried.

I can't grasp the words to speak and she invites me in, understanding how it is to be so truly hurt that there isn't even words to explain.

"D-did I i-interuppt someth-thing?" I sniffle and she shakes her head.

"No, I was a bit busy earlier this evening and my night ended about half an hour ago," she rubs my shoulder and explains as I cry softly on her couch "I don't know what's wrong but I know you're hurt. No need to explain anything, if you need rest, your room here is still free. If you want to talk, then I'm here."

I nod and wipe my face with the back of my hand. Linda stands, grabs a tissue box from her room, and brings them to me. I mouth "thank you" to her and she nods as I blow my nose into the tissue and toss it in the trash bin beside me.

"I want to talk," I tell her after I have calmed down a bit and she nods and gestures for me to speak.

"First off, I'm sorry for leaving you for days and running off with Louis. And leaving my stuff here. Thanks for letting me stay.." I begin to thank her but she stops me.

"Don't apologize and don't thank me. I know how it is to be in your position right now with this boy. If anything, I should be apologizing to you. I kissed him right in front of you! I didn't know that was Louis at the time but it was still wrong and I still feel disgusting for kissing a guy I didn't even know at a party! I hope you can forgive me."

"Don't apologize. I brought that on myself in a way. I should have just stayed away from Luke if I knew I wanted to be with Louis anyways," I sigh at my stupidity and run a hand through my hair.

"You can continue venting," she reminds me.

"Right," I begin "so I'll start out with me and Louis had started dating finally. We had a good couple of days but you know, I still needed to vent about our twisted and confusing relationship. So I vented to his friend, Harry. Louis found out and basically suggested I should just vent to a girl who understands. I was sorta uneasy about you at the time so I didn't want to vent to you. I regret that choice, I should have started by venting to you because then I wouldn't have ended up hanging out with Madison, Harry's girlfriend. Louis told me to avoid her but I didn't listen. When I was talking to her I noticed she talks about Louis alot and I discovered that her and Louis have a secret affair. And he told her that I was okay with it. And he lied to me about it."

Linda hands me another tissue and I realize I am crying again. So, I take the tissue and dab my eyes with it as she speaks.

"Charlie, I'm so sorry. You don't deserve this, no one does. But before I give my opinion or anything, what are you going to do about this?"

I haven't fully decided what I'm going to do. I love Louis. But now that I hear myself retelling the story, I no longer want to be with him. He is going to continue showing up in my life, I've learned that I can't fully get rid of him. But, I don't know if I can handle seeing him again so soon.

"Keep my distance. Avoid him at all costs. If we ever speak, I'm going to stay civil," I say with confidence, hoping to convince myself.

"What makes you think you will speak to him again?" She asks.

That's a good question. I know I will see him again because I'm now friends with his friends and I have to keep getting in touch with Niall about work and to be nosy since he knows things that not everyone knows. But when I see Louis, he probably won't try to flirt with me again or anything. Louis is finished with me, I am now useless in his eyes.

"..I'm not sure really," I lie.

"Well I think you're doing the right thing by leaving him. I know you love him but with what I know about him, I have put together one word to describe him. Asshole. You don't need him in your life and trust me, you will find someone so much better and actually worth it. Someone who actually loves you," she assures me.

Her advice is suppose to make me feel better, why do I feel so much worse?

"I've done everything I could to make it work with him. Literally everything." I tell her through a few sobs.

"I know," she rubs my shoulder again "it's going to take time to get over him. But, you will eventually be over him. I promise."

I nod and give her a small smile even though I feel like I've been stabbed inside.

Stabbed by reality.
