How To Save A Life: A Louis Tomlinson FanFiction

Chapter 29: The Bye-Bye Hysterics

A/N: For the next few chapters I will focus on Eliza, so don't think I forgot about Nichole, or the other girls or guys.... xxx

------------------------------

Eliza's POV:

Leaving Lou after being together again was harder than when he left the first time. Honestly, I probably seemed insane. Funny, but it was actually the first time I met Simon Cowell... "BELLS! WE NEED TO GO! THEY HAVE TO PRACTICE SOON!" Nichole yelled, and I panicked. Lou's hand hadn't left my side since I ran after telling him I was pregnant, and I started to shake at the thought of it leaving me now.

I felt Lou slide closer to me, releasing his hand, making me want to fall to the ground. He steadied me, attempting to laugh, but you could hear him almost crying through it. "I was just going to wrap my arms around your waist. It's alright babe." He gave me a small smile. My body continued to shake. Lou rested his head on my shoulder, whispering into my ear. "Hey, it'll be alright, babe. Only a couple months left, at the most. I'll be home in no time!" He said, and I could tell he was trying to stay strong for me.

One thing I learned in life was, staying strong for others, it was damn hard. And even though crying, screaming, or throwing things didn't solve the problems, it somehow made it easier to deal with. I turned into Lou, so I was facing him. "You can cry, you know?" I said. "You don't need to "stay strong" for me... I actually would rather know that I'm not just the clingy girlfriend." I laughed half-heartedly.

He attempted to laugh too, and finally silent tears slowly dripped down his face. I walked down the steps, Lou steadying me, knowing I needed to go before I freaked out completely and fell to the floor. How embarrasing that would be...

We made it to the bottom step, and I saw Zain, Niall, Liam, and Nichole waiting. I'd already said bye to Quinn, Danielle, and Harry... Next to Niall was Simon. I tried to calm myself down, to meet one of my life heros, one of the people who kept me alive when I didn't have Lou. He made me laugh, and I use to myself I had to meet him before I died. I wiped away my tears, wanting to make a good impression on Simon.

But the moment I saw the door, I flipped. I jerked around, facing Lou. "No.... I can't... What if this is the last time I see you? If I die of cancer while you're gone? You die on your way back from winning? A bomb just comes down and kills you? What if-" I freaked.

"Sh.... That's bull, babe. We will see eachother soon, we'll be fine." He said, holding in tears. But by then I was in hysterics, not caring for reason.  I went 'boneless' (or completely slack for non-Psych fans) and Lou was holding me up, against him.

"I can't! Don't leave me! I'll die!!!!" I screamed, sounding insane, surely. I could see Zain and Niall looking at me, looking at me like I was mental. Liam and Nichole looked sad, as if they knew what this moment was like. And Simon, well he... was Simon. He didn't show emotion...

"Please, baby, understand, everything will be fine. Just calm down." He said, tears running quickly down his face, as he tried to keep from sobbing.

"I'M AM FINE! I'M FREAKED OUT, INSECURE, NEROTIC, AND EMOTIONAL! (From The Italian Job, awesome movie, that's what 'FINE' stands for...) I'M THE ONLY FINE ONE HERE!!!!!!" I screamed. "DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!!! I'LL BE A BETTER GIRLFRIEND, I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, just don't let me go.... don't let me go-o-o..." I choked, not able to scream any more by the end, and just falling to the floor, sobbing, my whole body shaking. Lou fell to the floor, trying to help me up, to calm me down. But then someone took him off of me, and lifted me up.

I didn't bother to look up to see who it was, I just cried harder, looking at the silent tears fall down Lou's face as Zain held him from running after me.  I felt the person holding me sit down in a different room, rocking me back and forth in their lap. My sobs slowed, finally stopping until I had just slow, silent tears stream down my face. I finally bothered to look up, and almost choked. "Hello, darling. I'm Simon." Simon said, still rocking me back and forth.
