How it All Started (A One Direction fanfiction)

Chapter 3

He was standing in front of me and I took all the differences since 2010. His hair was shorter and perfectly sculpted into a tall quiff. He was buffer than when he left and had a lot more tattoos ....he used to have none. Louis did not hesitate to pull me into a gigantic hug. At least he still smelt the same. His embrace brought back so many memories that we have had so long ago. He was still my Louis.

We stood there hugging for a while until we realized that we were standing in the doorway for quite sometime and the nosy neighbor outside watering her plants started to stare. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the house, closing the door behind us.

He walked to what I remember to be his kitchen. I stayed where I was quite awkwardly and played with the hem of my shirt, unsure if whether to follow him or not. This house used to be more at home than my own house but now I'm feel like a stranger here, even with all my memories. He poked his head out of the door mad motioned me to come in.

"So, we have a lot to talk about, huh?" He said excitedly.

"Well ya I mean you've been on a world tour and you're one of the most famous people on the planet so ya we have a lot to talk about" I giggled knowing how boring my life is compared to his.

"Touring is fantastic, getting to see all these different places is something I never thought I would be able to do before. And I met four of my best friends. I guess this all worked out, huh?" He said jokingly, knowing his fame already.

"Yeah I guess so" I laughed.

"So what have you been up to" he asked

Even him saying these words made me feel funny, because the nothingness I've been up to is hilarious compared to what he's been doing.

"You know, the usual. So nothing basically. After high school Christine and I got an apparent, so we really just keep each other entertained" I boringly stated, being disappointed about going no where with my life.

"Well that's nice. You have no idea how much I've missed you. I've been trying to get in touch with you for such a long time but with rehearsals and the tour, it's been hard, you know?" He said questioningly.

The thing is, I didn't know. I mean I've never been on tour and my schedule is nothing like his, so I really didn't know what he meant, but I tried to imagine it.

"Ya, you seem really busy." I said, knowing how badly I was doing at holding this conversation.

"Ya... So there's someone I want you to meet." Louis said excitedly. Like excitedly even for him.

"Okay" I said not sure what to expect.

The only thing I could guess is that he was going to bring out the other members of One Direction but that didn't seem very likely. From what I've read about them, they're pretty loud so I think I would've know if they were here.

I see Louis walk into his living room, and mumble something to another person.

As I wonder who it is, Louis walks back in with a girl who I recognize to be his girlfriend, Eleanor.

I mean, even though I haven't spoken to Louis in a while, I still kept tabs on what he has been doing. Not creepily or anything, but I just wanted to know what he had been up to. I knew from the magazines and websites that him and Eleanor have been dating for a while, and I was and still am really happy for him.

I mean, for the first part, she's gorgeous. Her acne free, tan face was beautifully framed by a mess of wavy brown hair. She has a petite figure, but not too tiny. She honestly looks like she just got off the runway, even though she's in what other people would consider "lazy day clothes".

Second, I could tell she makes Louis happy, and that's all that matters.

"Brooke, this is my girlfriend, Eleanor. Eleanor, this is Brooke. We've been best friends for years." He said introducing us.

"It's nice to finally meet you! Louis has talked about you a ton." She said while sticking her dainty hand out to shake.

As I shook her hand back, it processed through my brain what she had just said. Louis has talked about you a ton. So I guess he didn't forget about me...?

"Oh haha", I stuttered, "it's nice to meet you too! I'm sure if Louis and I had talked more over the past couple years I would have heard a ton about you too!" I giggled like I always do when I'm nervous.

I made an awkward moment. Damn. I decided to quickly change the subject. "Oh my God, I LOVE your skirt, where did you get it?" I asked, happy to change the subject to something I'm comfortable with...fashion.

"Thanks, I got it at Forever 21. Where did you get that ADORABLE top?" She said.

"I got it at Abercrombie and Fitch, thanks" I replied.

Louis seemed bored if our conversation and started banging his head on the wall. We both turned to look at him and Eleanor let out a laugh at her boyfriend's behavior.

"Having fun there, babe?" She asked sarcastically.

"Anything is better than what you were talking about," Louis said them continued in falsetto, mocking us "Like OMG, your outfit is like so FANTABULOUS like please tell me EVERYPLACE you EVER bought ANY piece of clothing you own like". He added an exaggerated girly giggle at the end and Eleanor whacked the back of his head.

"Owww" he exclaimed.

"Oh shut up, Lou. You must have hit your head harder to be able to talk like that and you know you love shopping. Before you left you would always help me pick out my outfit for dates and I would have to drag you out of stores." I said a-matter-of-factly

"Bahahahahahahaha" Eleanor laughed at what I said and at Louis's face now. She faced me and gave me a high five.

"I should've known that Louis's best friend would be even more sassy than him" she said still giggling at us.

"Ex-ca-USE me? Honey if you think Brooke is sassier than me then you've got to get your brain checked." Louis said adding EXTRA sass

"Well Lou, I can out sass you anytime anyplace after all I taught you everything you know. And I'd watch out looks like SOMEONE'S in the doghouse" I said and gave him my mmmm-hmmmm face and did the head rotation.

"I love this girl" El said and came over to give me a hug which I returned.

"Hey, Eleanor is MY girlfriend," Louis whined.

"Well, too bad. Maybe now she's my woman, so back off" I said and me and Eleanor both turned and stuck our tongues out at Louis.

He scoffed, "I see how it is now."

"Good you should be put in your place" I smirked at him.

I let go if Eleanor and ran and jumped on the couch, just like I always would.
They followed and sat on the love seat opposite of me.

"So, ask her now" El said and elbowed Lou in the gut.

"First if all, ow. And second of all why don't you ask it was YOUR idea." Louis said back.

El shot him a glare then turned back
to me, hopefully to fill me in, because I hate being out of the loop.

"So you see, Lou and I have been dating for a while and I always have heard stories about you. I kept saying to him how I have been wanting to meet you. Recently the boys decided that they want to go on a camping trip and well.... Management doesn't think they are responsible enough to go alone, not that I blame them, and somehow I pulled into having to go and none of the other boys' girlfriends can go. I really don't want to be the only girl on this trip... so I was hoping you could come and, you know, kill two birds with one stone?" She asked.

"I don't know if this is a good idea. I don't really know anyone, well except Louis and you of course". I said unsure of whether this was a good idea or not.

"PLEASE! Don't leave me alone with these lunatics" she said.

"HEY! We are NOT lunat-" Eleanor slapped her hand over his mouth to keep him from continuing and gave me the cutest puppy dog eyes I have ever seen.

I let out a sigh, "Fine."

Damn me and my weakness for puppy dog eyes. El let out a squeal and jumped up from the couch to encompass me in a bear hug.

Well, I guess I'm going on a camping trip with One Direction.
