two ghosts (l.s)

Chapter 34

Louis' POV

"Louis? But how- I thought-I thought you were dead?" To say that Eleanor looks shocked is an understatement. She looks absolutely petrified.

"Surprise." I mumble giving her a sarcastic smile. I feel Harry's hand on my shoulder and lean my head back slightly to brush my cheek against his hand.

"Is this some kind of joke?" She snaps out of her trans and looks to Stan,her eyes look like those of a crazy person.
When no one speaks she walks up to me and gazes straight into my eyes.

"You are dead. This is just a dream, I'm going to wake up any moment now and all of this" she gestures around " will be gone in a matter of seconds." She says in my face and I laugh.

" Sure thing." I smile and then turn to Stan.

" Hey El?" I say my eyes never leaving Stan's. " Why don't you tell us the real reason the crash happened." Stan's eyes narrow and I smirk.

" What are you talking about?" She scoffs and I just shake my head.

"Go on,telk him. He's the only one in the room who doesn't know, that's not really fair is it?" My head hurts,my eyes sting and my heart us getting heavier by the minute. I just need to hear it. I just need the truth, that's all.

"Know what? What's he talking about ba- Eleanor?" Stan looks over to his girlfriend briefly before bringing his focus back to me.

"The truth Eleanor. That's all I ask." My voice is sharp and my words direct. "The fucking truth." I laugh humorlessly and turn to her.
" For once in your pitch perfect life won't you just tell the truth?" I almost yell but contain myself. She doesn't even flinch though. Instead she looks past me and out the window behind me.

"The truth? That's what you want? The truth?" She laughs an exaggerated laugh and I shiver.
" After years of pretending you love me you come here and ask for the truth? Fuck you Louis." she spits and I close my eyes. My patience is wearing thin so I take a deep breath to calm my nerves that could break any minute now.

"Yes Eleanor the truth." She walk past me over to the window and leans against the glass. "Today." I add and she shakes her head laughing lightly.

"El? What's going on?" Stan asks getting up from the couch and walking over to her.

" Fine. You want the truth I'll give you the truth." She suddenly jerks away from the window and takes a bug step over to me. Harry steps infront of me shielding me from her, if she hurt me once, I don't see why she would hesitate to do it again.

"I was in love with you Louis Tomlinson. Hear me? In love. But you?" She laughs a cold laugh. " You were out there fucking guys behind my back for years and you never even told me? For years Louis I waited for you to come home to me,to take me on a date, to be my boyfriend,to actually care about me. But no. You-you- how could you? After everything I did for us? You just chose to walk away,and the worst part is that you lied to my face. As if I mean nothing,as if all those moments we had together were nothing. YOU DIDN'T EVEN CARE. YOU NEVER DO!YOU DESERVED IT LOUIS. YOU'RE SO FUCKED UP, YOU DESERVE TO DIE. " She yells at the end,tears in her eyes.

My eyes sting even more and I just want the earth beneath my feet to open and swallow me forever.

"El please." Stan tries to pull her to him but she pushes his hand away and charges forwards to me her eyes gleaming maniacally.

"Don't. Take. Another. Step." Harry seethes through his teeth and Eleanor rolls her eyes but stops just a few steps away from me.

"Was it you?" I whisper and the room feels like it's shrinking, the walls closing in on me, crushing me.
