Louis POV

I'm not going to lie, Liam in the hospital was a horrible sight. He looked so malnurished and I felt horrible for not realizing earlier, not like I've seen him alot lately with all the press I've been having to do with Eleanor and then Harry in the hospital earlier this week. Hopefully this won't be a regular thing, One Direction in and out of hospitals. But that isn't even the crazy part. Liam's getting married?! To that slut?! Jenna just doesn't rub me the right way, not that I'd ever say anything to Liam, he is marrying her after all. But that was the least of my problems as I left the hospital. Because right as El and I walked out the doors, I got a call. A call from the person I'd least like it to be from. Vanessa. I looked at my phone and then looked up at Eleanor, who was looking at me with a worried expression on her face. "Why is she calling you?" El said, obviously as done with today as I was. "Probably just to see what's up with Liam and stuff. Walk with me." I said, answering the phone and walking towards the car. "Hello?" I said into the phone. "Ah, Louis. Nice to speak with you. How are things?" She said with a calm tone. "Oh, you know. Great. My true love is practiacally killing himself every night and one of my four best friends is in the hospital. Things are wonderful." I said sarcastically, getting my point across that I REALLY didn't want to talk today. "That's nice." She said, obviously thinking about something else and not listening. "Listen, Louis. We need a favor. Actually, its no favor. You will do what we say and if you choose not to... well we've been over that." She said as I rolled my eyes and drove the car out of the hospital parking lot. "Yes of course. What kind of torture are you putting me through now?" I said, looking at El who just was sitting there sympathetically staring at me. I slammed on my breaks. "You want me to do what?!" 

~flashback~

It was Eleanor and mine "first date". I'm not going to lie, I don' t like Eleanor that much. I mean, she's coming between me and my Hazzabear. "Hey Louis." Eleanor said to me. "Heyyyy." I said with no emotion so she understood I wasn't happy about being there. "Listen, I don't want to be the person in the way of you and Harry. I'm not about to lie and tell you I don't think that you two are adorable together. I'm just here for the publicity of it all. I just want to be your friend and maybe that will make this a little less painful for you to have a friend as your "girlfriend" then an enemy." She said sticking out her hand for a shake. "Okay then, Eleanor. Let's grab a coffee and sit down." I said. Maybe I was beginning to open up to Eleanor...

~End of flashback~

"El I need to go..." I said dropping her off at her flat. "Louis, you look like you've seen a ghost. After you got off the phone with Vanessa you haven't said a word and the color has drained from your face. I'm worried." She said with concern in her voice. "Listen, El. I need to go sort a few things out in my mind and just... clear out for a bit. I will call you later or tomorrow." I said and she waved goodbye, me now pulling out of her driveway. I drove and drove trying to clear my head, tears pouring from my eyes. I couldn't take it anymore. I knew paps would be taking photos even if I am in my own car. This wouldn't be good for publicity but there's nothing I can do. The tears just kept coming. Then I remembered the one place I could always go to if I needed to clear my mind. I put on the radio as I drove, trying to find a station that would work with the mood I was in. "Paradise" by Coldplay came on and I just relaxed, listening to the lyrics, impatiently waiting to reach my save haven. 

When she was just a girl

She expected the world

But it flew away from her reach

So she ran away in her sleep

Dreamed of para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Every time she closed her eyes

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

When she was just a girl

She expected the world

But it flew away from her reach

And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on

It gets so heavy

The wheel breaks the butterfly

Every tear, a waterfall

In the night, the stormy night

She closed her eyes

In the night, the stormy night

Away she'd fly.

And dreamed of para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

She dreamed of para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

La la la La

La la la

So lying underneath those stormy skies.

She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

I know the sun must set to rise.

This could be para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

This could be para- para- paradise

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

This could be para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Could be para- para- paradise

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

This could be para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Could be para- para- paradise

Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo

Finally I got there. I walked the little path outside the park that Harry and I found. This was where we had our first date and our first kiss. I walked until the path ended and worked my way through the trees until I found the all farmiliar clearing. I walked over to the little waterfall and took my shoes off and sat down, my legs dangling into the water. I just needed to think. My eyes got blurry and my vision turned to black. Painful memories came flooding back, "Paradise" still stuck in my head. 

The first date with Harry, when we discovered the clearing. We walked the path and were so upset it just ended there. We knew that couldn't be it. There had to be something more there. So we kept on walking. And what did we find? The little clearing. This was when we were on the X Factor. Every week on the night before the show we would come here, just the two of us. This was the best place to help our nerves go away. Week 4 was when we had our first kiss. The sunset was just right and in the spur of the moment I kissed him. Fireworks flew around my head and I could tell he felt it too. It was perfect.

But that was then and this is now. My senses came back, eyes puffy with tears still steadily flowing. I looked back as I heard leaves crunching and saw no one else but Harry Styles.

And then it came back to me.

What Vanessa had told me. The reason I came here in the first place.

I have to marry Eleanor.
