Summer Love

Chapter 6-The Arrangement

ELEANOR'S POV

As I'm driving home, I just keep replaying what happened in my head. I can't believe Louis would do that, I honestly thought he was really sweet and not just some douchebag. When I pull up to my driveway, I realize that my eyes are all watery so I quickly dab them so my parents don't get suspicious or worried. When I walk into my house, I'm immediately greeted by my mom, who was acting very strange, and I soon found out why. My mom led me into the living room, where there stood a boy, a sorta cute one I guess.

"Eleanor, this is Thomas. He's one of our friend's son! He has been on the search for the perfect lady so I decided to introduce you!" my mom exclaimed.

"That's right! We think you would be the perfect fit for him," my dad continued.

This was so wrong, you can't expect me to love someone just because you want me to. I just wanted to go to my room after this long and dramatic day so this nonsense was just another burden on my shoulders.

"Listen, I don't want to date him. No offence Thomas, it's nothing about you. I can't just date someone because you want me to, I'm sorry. I've had a long day and I just can't deal with this right now, I'm going to bed."

"But honey-" my mom started. "He's a really nice boy-"

"No mom, I can't. I just don't have interest in him, sorry Thomas."

And with that cleared up, I ran upstairs to my room and locked the door. I could finally let all my feelings out now. I jumped onto my bed and started crying. It was weird to cry over someone I had only known for about 2 weeks and I also felt very weak. I couldn't believe someone who lied to me and played with me could hurt me as he did.

LOUIS' POV

I hate myself. On the car ride home, Crystal noticed that I was incredibly quiet, but I couldn't help it. I was so overwhelmed by all the emotions I felt right now. I just lost the girl of my dreams, after coming so close to finally becoming something more than friends. I hated Catherine, she caused all this, I hate her, I hate her, I hate her. I don't even think hate is a strong enough word to describe how I feel towards her.

"Hey, you alright?" Crystal asked me, eyes filled with concern.

"Yeah I'm fine, just a little tired," I replied.

"You know, people usually use the phrases 'I'm fine' and 'I'm tired' to hide their real feelings and what they actual feel inside," Crystal replied, almost reading my mind.

"Heh, that's nice," I said, not giving into her suspicions and the car ride was silent again.

When I got back to her place, I immediately went to my room and lay on my bed. I tried to cry but no tears came. Too many emotions were just flying around that I just felt pain. I missed her so much, even though it wasn't even for a day. Just knowing that I may not get to see her beautiful smile and harmonious laugh was enough to make me heartbroken.

Just before I was about to fall asleep, a single tear rolled down my cheek, and with that, I feel into a deep sleep while lost in my thoughts.
