Broken Past (Sequel)

Chapter Six

I clutched onto the back of his shirt, crying harder while it got harder to breathe. Why was I breaking down to him? Why was he breaking down to me? Maybe I needed to cry, it's been awhile since I actually took time to just cry. I've been lying to people about how I really felt, I was just hiding myself. I was so tired, I was alone, depressed, angry, sad, so many mixed emotions that been bottled up inside for so long. My heart ached and I didn't know what to do at this point, I guess seeing him made the memories of my Broken Past start flowing in, something I tried to forget and failed from the way I just suddenly broke down with him. But why was he crying? Louis was never the type to break down like this, I mean I knew him, he was soft and caring, sensitive but hard to read. No one really knew who Louis really was, how easy he was to break and he'd been so good of hiding it that he acts crazy now in then to make it seem that he doesn't have a care for the world. It started ever since the Larry Stylinson rumors. Yes, it was true, they did have a fling that had to end. Louis didn't want that to happen but Harry really went along with what management said. That's when he met Eleanor and well you know what goes on from there, Harry and Louis forgot each other and that's why they're not as close as they used to be. I mean maybe that's why Harry seems so happy next to Alex. Was there something he's keeping from me? Was he keeping things bottled up like I was?

I pulled away from Louis and closed the door shut, leading him into the kitchen and setting him down at the kitchen table. I walked over to the cabinets getting a kettle and filling it with water, to set it down on the stove to boil. I grabbed his hand, rubbing small circles with my thumb trying to calm him down so he was able to breathe normally. After a couple of minutes of taking deep breaths in and deep breaths out he was able to go to his normal breathing pattern which made less noise.

"Lou?" I said quietly trying to get his attention. "H-How did you know I was here?" "It took me a whole day to find you.. I looked up Juliette Bonnet on a website for the states and knowing you- you would use your full name instead of your nickname.." He looked up at me giving me a sly smile. "And I found you.."

I smiled lightly getting up to put the tea bags for us. It was nothing like the UK teas but this would have to do. I grabbed a cup passing it over to Louis and keeping one for myself. I lead him over to the living room where we both sat on the same couch just staring at each other. I mean I had a reason for staring, maybe he had one too? It was hard to believe that Louis was sitting here on my couch, drinking my tea, out of my cup, here in Nevada, in the states, out of the UK. I wanted so bad to say that my eyes were deceiving me but they weren't. He was here, in front of me. I'm glad I didn't believe my eyes for tricking me because part of me was that glad that something good from my past came seven months later was in front of me. The fact that I was home sick for some time was slowing going away because he was here. But I didn't like that he was so down and broken. I want to help him but I don't know what to say.

"Julie." Louis spoke up from the awkward silence setting the room. "Yeah Louis?" I replied just as awkward as the atmosphere. "Why did you leave?" "I just didn't want to be around the place that held onto so many tragic memories... It just hurt being there.. knowing everything that happened there was just too much." "But we were there for you.. we all miss you Juju bug.. Liam, Zayn, Harry, Perrie, Danielle, Alex, and I miss you.. please come home" "I don't know Lou, it's just too much for me." "Think about it, I have the whole time in the world." "Can I ask you something?" "Sure..""Why are you so sad? Why did you break down when you saw me?" "I'm so stuck, I'm the worst friend, my life's a mess.. I don't know how I got so caught up in this mess.."

"What happened-?"

"UNCLE LOU, YOU'RE HERE!" Lily yelled coming down the stairs and attacking him into her best hugs. "I knew you would come." "Lily Anne, you gotten so big!" Louis had a sudden change of mood and smiled. "I know, did you see my little brother?" "Brendon, no.. where is he?""Right there" Lily pointed to the crawling infant. "Brendon! My boy!" Louis walked over to him picking him up. "Being good for mummy?"

The little boy just stared the at greyish blue eyed boy. He nodded his head because he understood what was being said. Louis, who hadn't seen the boy in seven months, looked at me in shock but in excitement. I took the courtesy of asking Louis to come with me to shop with little Lily for school supplies and with that we all walked out together to start the day.

Eleanor POV:

I can't control the tears that are falling, I just can't stop crying. Where in the world is Louis? I mean yes, Louis can be the outdoor, crazy person of the group but you just don't walk out without telling us and it's been over 24 hours. I - I mean all of us have tried to call him but his phone is dead or he decided to shut us out and turn his phone off. Louis doesn't do these type of things, which made me question his sudden urge to leave and made me worry. I grabbed on to the couch cushion and just staring that nothing. The tv wasn't on making me seem weird for just staring at absolutely nothing, meaning no excuses.

"Eleanor?" Perrie walked over to me and looked at the tv noticing it was turned off. "Babe the tv is off, what are you looking at?"

"My soul without Louis... absolutely nothing" I said bluntly.

"El, come on, he's safe out there.. maybe he was a reason. Ever thought of that?" Danielle suggested, hoping it'd cheer me up.

"No Danielle you don't understand, my sister is some where in the states avoiding us.. And my boyfriend is who knows where! How do you ecpect me to believe he's safe?" I spat.

"I'm sorry I was just trying to-"

"Listen to yourself Eleanor! Danielle was only trying to help and you just snap at her? You need to calm down. I know the two people in your life are gone but we feel what you feel too. We miss them and were worried just as much as you are." Alex snapped at me, catching me off guard at her sudden change of character.

"I know i'm sorry Dani, you know I love you. I'm just so tired.. Worrying makes me tired."

"We all are."

I guess I wasn't the only one tramautized by this.
