Louis' point of view

"Eleanor? What the fuck are you doing here?" I can't believe it. My day has gone from bad to terrible. 

Eleanor stares at me in shock. "Me? What are you doing here?" The nerve of this girl! Before I can reply, Ed comes to the door.

His eyes widen when he sees me. "Louis?" he says as if he can't believe his eyes.

"Hi." I say politely since I do want to stay here. Although, I'm not so sure anymore. "What the hell is she doing here?" I ask pointing at Eleanor. 

Ed doesn't say anything for a while. He looks aat Eleanor and it seems like they are having a secret converstaion . 

I cough loudly. I hate being ignored. Ed sighs and looks at me in the eye. "There is something you should know." he says. 

"You don't say." I mutter. I did not want to see my ex girlfriend today. 

"Eleanor and I are together." he says carefully as if I am going to pounce on him. And even though I expected to hear that I am still surprised.

Eleeanor and Ed?

Huh.

"But what about Ellie?" I ask trying not to sound too curious. But, hey I have a right to know. He is dating my ex.

Eleanor stiffens visibly. I can't help but feel a pang of satisfaction. 

Yeah, I'm a bitch. Judge me.

"Um..we didn't work out." Ed says vaguely. I have a feeling that he is not telling me everything but I choose to leave it at that.

"So..why are you here?" Ed asks awkwardly when I don't say anything. 

"I was wondering if I could stay here for a couple of days." I answer rubbing my neck. Ed frowns. "Sure but why? You are a millionaire, mate! You could have stayed at a hotel or something." 

I chuckle. "I know but I felt like staying with a friend." Plus, I don't have good experiences with hotels. But I am not telling him that. 

Eleanor clears her throat, reminding us that she is there. "So, since you are going to be staying here, we should clear the air." she says gently.

I snort. If this girl thinks that I am going to forgive her for cheating on me with Justin Bieber, she has another think coming.

"Louis, I am sorry that I cheated on you, but you weren't completely honest with me, either." she says haughtily.

"What are you talking about?" I have a feeling that this is about me being gay. I thought that I could hide it so the media and our fans don't suspect anything but I was wrong.

It was her turn to snort. "Please. It's obvious that you are gay. You didn't even want to kiss me!"

That was true. But it was mainly because she had really chapped lips. But I don't say that because, I do want to stay here.

I just nod. "All right, but that doesn't give you the right to cheat on me with my band's enemy! Or date my best friend." I gesture at Ed.

Eleanor doesn't say anything. Which is actually surprising for her.

"Louis, why don't you come in?" Ed asks hastily. That's when I realize that I am still standing outside. I walk in with my bags.

Ed's house is one of my favorite places ever. He has about 20 guitars in the living room and even though Niall is the guitarist in our band, I like to play as well. He has this gorgeous, sleek piano as well. His place is just a musician's dreamhouse. 

"So, it's weird to mention it but I was actually writing a song for you guys. It's called 18 and I am almost finished." Ed says. I perk up at this. Ed's songwriting skills are amazing.

"Why don't you sing it for me?"

Ed picks up one of his 20 guitars and begins strumming it.

I have loved you since we were 18

Long before we both thought the same thing

To be loved and to be in love

And all I could do is say that these arms were made for holding you

I wanna love like you made me feel when we were 18

"That's my favorite part." Ed smiles. "I wrote the song about these two people I know."

"I love it."
