5: Home Was With My Bestfriend

Chapter 5: Home Was With My Bestfriend

Louis' POV

It was past midnight. It was raining. And I was heartbroken. I honestly regretted it as soon as I left the flat. I didn't know how everything was going to turn out and I still don't. But there was no turning back now. I sat in my car and looked at the house. The house was dark, telling me that no one was awake. I don't even notice that I was crying until felt fall from my cheek. I quickly wiped them and got out of the car. At an instant, I was soaking wet. I ignored the rain and walked to the front door.  I knocked on it. I stood in the rain, patiently waiting, and freezing my ass off. I was relieved when I saw the light by the door turn on. The door opened and a very tired looking figure was standing there.

"Louis? What the hell are you doing here?" Eleanor asked.

"I'm sorry it's so late," I fought back tears.

"No excuse, come inside..."

I didn't hesitate. Eleanor was wearing a large, baggy t-shirt and boxer shorts that were barely visible.

"Let's get you into some dry clothes and then we can talk," She walked upstairs and I followed.

Eleanor and I used to be best friends, well besides Harry. She was the only person I could tell everything to. We did everything together, since we were the same age and in the same grade. Harry got super jealous and had always been jealous of Eleanor. When we started dating, he forbid me to see Eleanor. So, this is the first time I've seen her in two years. Eleanor's room was exactly how I remembered it, a few books added though. When we were kids, and knowing that I was gay, we always had sleepovers and we would cuddle up and watch movies and talk about boys... the usual. Anyways, after me and Harry started dating, she told me that if I ever needed to get away, to come home. And my home was with my best friend. So here I am.

She walked to her dresser and pulled out a pair of boxers and some of my old pajama pants. She handed them to me and then sat on the bed. I mumbled a 'thanks' before walking to the bathroom. I quickly changed and returned to the room.

"You ready to talk, boo?"

I shook my head and started crying again.

"Alright, take your time," Eleanor said, quietly.

I cried for a few more minutes before I finally calmed down.

"I-I think I'm ready,"

"Alright. I need to ask... why did you come here?"

"Well, the last time I saw you, you told me when I needed to get away to come here... Remember?"

She nodded, "Of course I remember, Louis."

"I messed up, Ele... He's going to hate me. He already hates me,"

"I don't understand... Who hates you, Lou?"

"Harry,"

"You're still with him?" She sounded really shocked.

I started to nod, but stopped myself, "Well, I don't know,"

Her mouth formed an 'o' shape, "Is that why you're here?"

I nodded, "Don't freak out, okay?"

"Kay,"

"Harry.. He's changed since we were kids."

"How?"

"Badly, for the most part. He started drinking and I think he smokes, but that's beside the point. Ele, he beats me,"
