Louis tapped on Eleanor's door softly. Ever since she moved out of their suite, she had been located two floors down in a smaller room. He felt nervous being here even though he had practised what to say to her for the past hour. He heard the lock turn on the inside and the door opened slightly.Eleanor peeked out at him then opened the door to allow him entry. He walked inside the one roomed hotel room which consisted of a large bedroom with an ensuite and a balcony. He looked around and noticed that on the bed there was a suitcase, open and half packed. He turned around to face Eleanor but he saw her coming out of the bathroom carrying her toiletries. She silently walked over to the open suitcase and put them in.

'What are you doing?' Louis asked her. Eleanor continued packing.

'I'm leaving,' she told him not looking up at him.

'Leaving?' Louis asked her feeling completely thrown off. He had come here to break up with her and ask her to be his beard again but she's leaving? He wasn't ready for this.

'Yes Louis I'm leaving,' she told him as she continued to fold her clothes and put them in the suitcase. Louis' mind scrabbled to grasp for words to tell her, to make her stay. Dammit he had prepared a nice speech now he couldn't even remember shit. He felt panic rise within him. If she left, all that he had in mind would go out the fucking window. How was he supposed to be with Harry without a beard?

'Eleanor you can't leave,' he told her. She stopped mid folding a blouse and looked at him,raising a questioning eyebrow at him.

'And why can't I?' she asked him. Louis felt his throat go dry. He didn't want to lie to her per se or fill her head with things he didn't mean by telling her he wanted her to stay. She might think he wanted her to stay as his girlfriend. He truly wanted her to stay but for a whole totally different reason. She just couldn't leave.

'I need you,' he told her quietly, which was the truth. In a partial way. Eleanor scoffed.

'You need me,' she repeated after him. Louis offered her a small smile.

'Yes I do El,' he told her.She threw the blouse she had been folding into the suitcase and placed her hands on her hips.

'For what do you need me Louis?' she asked him. Louis was thrown off by her question because he honestly didn't know what to answer. His shoulders slumped and he remained silent because he really didn't want to just come right out and tell her he wanted her to be his beard again. Eleanor saw the look on his face and walked over to him, placing her arm around his shoulder., which took Louis by surprise. 'Louis sit down,' she told him gently, 'we need to talk.' Louis sat down on the bed and she sat next to him.
