Good Boy

Chapter 63

Charlie's POV

Today marks one.

One full week.

One full week without Louis.

Or atleast without speaking to him anyways.

The first few days, Louis texted and called me back to back. Past few days, I haven't heard from him too much. I still get atleast one message per day but I refuse to read them. He is just going to feed me the 'i love you' bullshit.

"Knock knock," Linda knocks on my door before walking in and flashing me a bright morning smile.

"Hey, guess what," I smile at her and she laughs.

"I know, Charlie. One week today."

I have been talking about how today marks a full week all day yesterday. I can never stay away from Louis long. This is a big accomplishment. Luckily, since Linda has went through what I went through, she gets it and supports me 100% no matter what decision I make.

My phone rings beside me and the screen lights up saying 'Niall'.

"Should I get it?" I mouth to Linda and she nods.

"Why wouldn't you?" She asks.

"It could be Louis on Niall's phone," I tell her.

It could be. He has already tried calling me on Harry and Liam's phone throughout the week. Has he not been around Niall recently?

Linda picks up my phone answers for me just in case. We had a plan for if my phone rings, she answers it. That way, if it's Louis she can just say I'm not home or I'm busy.

"It's Niall," she tells me and hands me the phone.

"Hello?" I answer while Linda stares at me intensely and listens into the conversation.

"Hey Charlotte, where are you?" Niall asks.

"At a friend's house," I roll my eyes at his name error "why?"

"I got news about Liam's new lady friend."

My eyes widen at Niall's words, mainly because I'm insanely nosy.

"Tell me!" I nearly scream.

"I can't! There are people around me!"

"Like who?"

"Louis is somewhere in the house and Harry is sitting near me."

My heart drops once he mentions Louis. What is he doing right now? Who is he doing right now?

"Oh uh.." I'm at a loss of words "come over and tell me then."

"No, why can't you just come over here?"

"I'll explain once you get here."

I hear Niall groan over the phone and I hold back a giggle.

"Where the hell does your friend live then?" I hear him grabbing his keys and shuffling through the house.

"I'll meet you at the park."

"Okay, see you there."

I hang up the phone and grab my bag so I can start getting dressed.

"Where are you going?" Linda traces circles with her foot on the floor.

"Out with Niall," I tell her as I grab a green t shirt and some distressed blue jeans from my bag.

She raises her eyebrows and I giggle and shake my head once I realize what she's concluding.

"He's just my friend, Linda," I tell her as I start to change and she laughs.
