Mixed Direction

Chapter Seven: What's Right

{Eleanor's POV}

I thought everything would be okay. Actually, I knew that there would be consquences, and leaving the person I love would mean that I would suffer major consequences, but I never actually believed that this would be one of them.

I guess this proves that everything can be sudden. I now understand the way Perrie acted. I understand the panic, the tears, the unablitiy to speak, the thoughts about other options, the fear- of carrying another life within you.

Without any warning, this happens. All of a sudden your life changes and no longer are things a mess, but they're now a war field. All your thoughts battling each other within your mind, not making the situatuon any better.

My hand shakes as I reach for my phone, picking it up, my sweaty fingers making smudge marks on the screen as I slide my finger, opening the phone and going into messages, the last person I sent a message to coming up.

This whole ordeal cannot be good. I couldn't fall pregnant Louis. We'd been trying for months. Then, I suddenly sleep with Harry and I'm pregnant. My last period was just before Harry and I slept together the first time and I haven't had one since, indicating this baby could be either a mistake with Harry, or a marriage saver for Louis and I.

I exit out of the contact I'm on and hit the create a new message, adding in two people I know I can trust. Two mothers, two people who I have always been able to talk to, two people who I know I can trust. I know one is risky, being Louis' best friend, but I also know she is too kind and too respectful of a person to tell him.

Hey, I know this must seem random, but can we catch up? Tomorrow, 9am at The Coffee Bean? It's kind of urgent. PLEASE, don't tell anyone about doing this. Thank you so much, xx Eleanor.

I type in the message and then hit send before I can regret anything.

I take deep breaths and leave my phone on the counter, walking over to the desk in my old bedroom. Mum and Dad have moved to some country town in the middle of England, but still own their home here in London, so that's where I'm staying- not that they know that.

I cannot bare to deal with them. Dad will only be mad at me and Mum will be dissapointed because she loves Louis so much, well, at least thats what I reckon will happen. I don't know how to confront anyone. I can't even begin to think about Jay and Louis' sisters. I know I'll have to at some stage, but not right now, not until I have a good head space.

I hear my phone ding twice, one sound followed by the other. My footsteps towards my phone are slow and I reach down, picking it up and looking at the lock screen where I have two new message notifications from the people I sent the messages to. Danielle and Perrie.

I slide across the notification and read them both, breathing in relief at their answers. Thank the Lord.

From Danielle: Don't worry, El. I won't tell. And of course, we seriously need to talk babe. I love you, El. xx Dani xx

From Perrie: Sure :) See you then.

I re- read them both. I can tell by Perrie's text that there is tension there, of course there is. Louis is constantly talking about her and claiming how she is like his sister and his best friend. Louis will be venting to Perrie, I know he won't to anyone else. But, Perrie is kind and understanding, sometimes a little straight forward, but she means well. I don't want to be feeding my issues to Perrie at the same time as Louis, but it might be beneficial that someone knows both sides of the story.

As for Danielle. She's Danielle. The most kind, happy, loving, understanding, beautiful, did I mention kind, person in the whole world. Danielle has been my hero on so many occasions and it'll be good to see her again.
