{chapter two}

hey so I published chapter two just so there's more to it and it's a bit longer. imagine louis as the picture attached when he changes.

eleanor is in this chapter but she will be gone soon and she's not a bad person for the most part.

anyways, as always, votes, comments, and tears are much appreciated and enjoy!

"what? are you out of your mind?" louis retaliated. his agent has done many things he didn't like, but this had to top them.

"we're going to hire paps to take your photo, and then you don't even have to talk to him. it would be nice of course, but not necessary," laura explained. she thought it was a great idea, as did harry's agent, william sanders.

"i can't believe you." louis groaned.

"well you're going to have to. go inside, get ready and go to the cafe downtown. i'll be there, so don't try anything stupid."

louis waved her off as he opened the door and headed inside the large building. he went up the elevator and unlocked his door. he lived with his girlfriend, eleanor, who was lounging on the couch watching TV. he could afford much better than a small apartment, but that's what she wanted.

"hey love!" he chimed as he pecked her cheek. louis may have been the biggest dickhead, but when it came to eleanor, he was sweet and sensitive.

"hi babe!" she replied, "you're back early."

"um, yeah, things didn't exactly go as planned," he tried to cover up. he couldn't tell eleanor he kissed someone else let alone another guy.

"what happened?" she frowned. she knew louis' ways and figured he got into trouble, but didn't want to say so.

"listen el, i'd love to talk, but i have to get ready," he nervously said, hoping she wouldn't ask, which of course, she did.

"where are you going?" eleanor got up from the couch and crossed her arms at him. she was what you would call a little clingy, maybe overprotective. but she had every right to be, cseeing to that louis was in the media every day, with it most often being negative.

"el, i need to do something. it's for the media, and i don't like him at all." louis watched as eleanor's face fell. he felt horrible, but if she was going to find out, he'd rather it be from him than some stupid magazine.

"lou-wh-what do you have to do?" she questioned him, her voice softer and quieter than before.

"i have to go on a date with my co-star, his name is harry styles. but you don't have to worry about anything, all we're going to do is have some paps take photos," he watched her eyes glisten with tears.

"but, the media already knows we're dating, right?"

"they're-um-they're probably going to say we broke up, or i cheated or something. don't listen to them el, we won't do anything more than talk! i'll probably leave once they're done with the photos."

silence filled the room.

"el, i'm so sorry."

"go get ready, you don't want to be late."

her words stung, and a lump formed in his throat. he could be tough, but not when it came to his love life. he was a sensitive person deep down, but no one knew that except for el.

he couldn't care less about how he looked, and he didn't want harry to be led on, or thinking he's cute. he pulled on some skinny jeans, and threw on an adidas shirt with shoes to match.
