When I walked in

Chapter 16- The Phone Call

(A/N: hey guys, here's the update for you guys. There's only about three or four ENJOY:) P.S. I'm giving you two chapters before the past one and maybe a bonus chapter)

Louis's P.O.V.

We drove up in the driveway where Monica's Uncle had met some boy named Daniel, her old friend from somewhere I don't care to listen to. When they left the driveway I could see his arm around her shoulder and him whispering something in her ear and her giggling. I scoffed and walked in the house thinking about what he said to make her giggle, and that should be me making her giggle.

I jumped on the couch and sighed heavily, all I wanted to do was sleep everything off and not think about her. I felt the couch dip into itself, I saw Liam with a worried expression, "Are you okay Lou?" He asked.

"I'm okay Li. I'm just-" I got cut off when my phone rang. I quickly took it out my pocket and answered without checking the caller ID. "Hello"

"Hey, it's Eleanor" I silently groaned, "Yes?"

"Look I don't want to do this but-" already my heart started breaking,"Management said that we have to fake date and you need to be here by tonight"

I groaned loudly this time,"Okay I book a flight today" I hung up before she could say anything else. I got up from the couch and headed upstairs and started packing while booking a flight leaving at around ten, so I have about a couple hours to get ready.

Hours later I'm ready and packed. I headed downstairs with my jacket on. I suddenly stop when I hear Monica downstairs, I can see her from behind the wall and she seems excited.

"Mom guess what? I got one hundred and sixty bucks" I was surprised at this.

I took a deep breath and walked down stairs with everything in my hand. I got to the last step and Monica wad still talking and didn't seem to notice me. Her mom got her attention and turned her around. She saw me and she gasped and I could almost see tears in her eyes.

"W-what's going on here? Why are you leaving?" She choked out. "I'm leaving. Back to Eleanor," I say as disappointment filled my voice, "I have to leave today" I added.

Monica just stood there, doing nothing, then all at once she ran off and slammed her door. I sighed and went to say all my goodbyes, they were okay but what hurt the most was Monica didn't come back downstairs to at least say goodbye, I could here noise from upstairs, it sounded like things getting thrown around in a rage.

I looked up by the stairs to see any sign of her but there wasn't any sign of her, I sighed loudly and turned my head to the floor. Someone had put their hand on my shoulder, "She'll come around" I could only nod and walk away to the door.

I was outside putting my stuff in the trunk of the car, I closed the trunk. I opened the door and got in when I heard a voice.

"Wait, Louis wait" she screamed.

She was running towards me and then slowed down. She was about to trip but I caught and helped her up. "Louis wait"

I smiled, "I'm waiting. I'm not going anywhere yet" she laughed. I was holding on to her and her to me. And I didn't want to let go.

"Look before you go I want you to know that I'm happy that you're going back to Eleanor and that you're happy. I just wanted to give you this" she gave me something and closed my hand around it, "Don't open it until the day before the Halloween Bash" she said with forced, sad smile.

"Thank you" I say, and she gives me a long, tight hug. And I do the same. "Good luck" she whispers and gives me a kiss on the cheek and walked away back into the house.

I was actually happy but that changed when I realized where I was going I felt sad. But I reminded myself that she gave me a gift and a kiss, not like I pictured it, but a kiss none the less.

The think is she thinks that I'm willingly to get back together with Eleanor. I'm not. I rather figure out ways to spend time with her and just be with her. I wish I could explain it.

But for now all I could was hope. Hope was my only chance to believe.

To believe that I could fix the mess I started she basically finished.

To believe I can let go of the past and Eleanor.

To believe in the future, that after I fixed what I created, there can be an us.

Monica and I.
