Taking Chances.

Part 6

I woke up in my hotel room, I couldn't sleep at all. All I could think of was Eleanor, why did she lie? Surely she wanted to get rid of him? Get him out of her life? He could kill her!

"Morning" I sighed. Walking into Max's room

"Hey" he smiled "Want some breakfast?" He asked

"With your cooking? I don't think so!" I laughed

He stuck his tongue out and carried on frying bacon, I sat down at the table and just thought for a while.

"So how's Eleanor?" He asked, breaking the silence "Jay said she's alright now"

"Yeah, she's getting better. I think I might go see her later"

Max's face turned "Do you think that's the best of ideas, mate?" He said sitting down beside me "I know you're worried about her, but with that Connor around, it's far too dangerous"

"I'm not letting him stop me from seeing her! She's my friend! I want to know that she's okay" I said, not knowing how desperate I actually sound

"Do you want me to come with you? You know, just for support?"

"No!" I said quickly "I mean that's kind of you, but I can face this on my own, besides I want to talk to her on my own"

Max nodded "Alright mate" he patted me on the back and carried on making his breakfast.

**********

I walked to the hospital, on my own. Some fans saw me on the way there, I stopped for pictures and signed a few pictures for them, but my mind was set on getting to the hospital.

I was just about to walk in, when I felt I'd received a text, it was from Max;

'Be careful'

I glared at my phone and crushed it in my pocket, I'm not a kid! I know what I'm doing! It's not like I'm in love with her...

I walked into the hospital into the main reception, I knew where Eleanor was staying so I walked straight up to her room, she was laid down reading some magazine, It seemed that no one else was in the room with her, good. I needed to talk to her.

"Hey" I smiled, she dropped her magazine and sat up

"Nathan, what are you doing here?" She looked around the room and outside, constantly checking if anyone was coming

"I'm here to see you, I was worried" I was about to sit down on her bed but she moved her hand in the way

"Well I'm fine, over the moon, is that all?" She said nervously

"Why are you being like this!?" I said a little angrier, her eyes shot up at me "I saved you! I could have left you in that apartment, left you to die! But I didn't! I brought you here! Because I care about you! I care that you're hurting!"

She stared at me with a blank expression

"I just want to help you Eleanor" I said with a calmer tone

"I know you do" she said, tears in her eyes

"I care about you" I said, putting my hand on her face and staring deeply into her eyes, she didn't move at all, she just stared at me

"I care about you too" she said "Which is why you have to leave." She grabbed my hand and pulled it off her face

"Am I interrupting something?" We both stopped looking at each other and looked to see who's voice we heard. A girl around Eleanor's age was stood in the doorway, she had long brown hair that went up to her stomach, with big brown eyes and wore purple coloured nails, a different shade to Eleanor's.

"No you're not Harveen." Eleanor said "Nathan is just leaving"

I looked back over at Eleanor and gave her a smile, I stood up and walked by Harveen and also smiled. As I walked out, I listened in to the girls conversation.

"Oh my god Eleanor! Was that Nathan as in Nathan Sykes from The Wanted!?" Harveen asked

"Yes. We're good friends"

"Do you have his number!? Can you give it me!?"

Eleanor laughed, well even if I wasn't me making her laugh, at least she had someone to do the job.

I walked out of the hospital and decided to go back home, I couldn't be arsed to walk so I called up Tom to come pick me up

"Alright mate, I'll be over in about 5 minutes" he said, in Toms language, that could be 5-10 minutes. I had nothing to do but wait here, I found a wall and sat at it for a bit and watched people entering and exiting the hospital.

A woman and man came out carrying a baby carrier, wow they looked tired and I could see why that kid was going to town screaming like it was being brutally murdered! I'd never have kids, I couldn't deal with them screaming the place down. No no no. I'll be Uncle Nath to the boys' kids, that's all.

Also, a young couple came out, the boy had broken his leg and the girl was helping him down the stairs with his crutches, it did look sweet. They looked like they were made for each other, which they were I suppose. She knelt down to his level and kissed his forehead, yuck. I'm not really an affectionate kind of person.

Then, I saw him. Connor. He walked by and stared at me

"Alright" he smiled, his smile made me sick, it was evil, full of poison

"Suppose I am" I replied, trying not to make eye contact

"What are you here for?" He asked

"I could say the same thing to you" I growled back, suddenly he tightly grabbed my arm and led me to the back of the wall, he grabbed me by the throat and pushed me to the wall

"Listen here you, I don't care if you're in a boyband, I don't care if Eleanor appears in your music video, she's my girlfriend, not yours!"

I tried to get myself free, but he had a tight grip

"Why don't you start treating her like one then" I said, barely being able to breathe

He glared at me "I know what you think, you think you can rescue her and save the day, and she'll fall in love with you. Well she won't. This isn't a Fairytale this is reality, Eleanor is stupid, she'll come back to me, she's to scared to do anything else"

I wanted to punch him in the face so hard! How dare he talk about her like that!

He let me go "Stay away from her"

"You're a bastard" I whispered, thinking he hadn't heard

He turned around and grabbed me by the neck again "STAY AWAY" he shouted "Are we clear!?"

I nodded. He again let me go

"That's fabulous" he grinned and punched me in the stomach so I fell to the ground

"Nice talking to you Nath" he said "Really looking forward to the single" he said walking away, whilst singing Walks Like Rihanna.
