Chapter Eleven

A/N: !WARNING! Don't hate me for this lovely chapter ;)) Btw, it's kinda short :P

Louis' POV:

I closed the door, and hung my jacket up. I kicked my shoes off and looked around the empty house. I hadn't seen the boys all day, I wonder where they are...

"Is anybody here?" I asked, walking into the living room.

"I'm in here!" Eleanor called from the kitchen with an edge to her voice.

Louis, Honesty is your daughter. Her words rang through my mind, and I felt extremely happy. I thought I would be angry but all I could feel was joy, and love.

"Coming!" I said as I turned the TV that was left on off. She was sat at the counter, her phone lit up in front of her. It dimmed as I came closer.

"We need to talk." She said, anger seeping in her tone. I felt confused, but sat beside her anyway.

"About?" I said, meeting her gaze.

"That girl." She fired at me. I almost felt the venom in her voice. I was a bit thrown back by her bitterness. It made ice run through my veins.

"Who?" I asked, there were tons of girls in my life, even though my mind hung on Zoe. I scolded myself mentally.

"The one with the little girl?" She asked angrily, her eyebrows almost to her hairline.

"So?" I drew the word out. She smacked my arm hard. My hand flew up to my bicep.

"Ow!" I said, standing up and rubbing it.

"Don't 'ow' me, Louis! You're cheating on me! I saw you today!" She screeched at me. I swear if the boys come in right now when they haven't been here all day, I'll have to kill them.

"I don't know what you mean, El!" I raised my voice. She screamed, and tugged on her hair.

"Yes you do! You do fu-" I cut her off.

"We promised never to swear at each other, Eleanor." I warned her. She rolled her eyes, and threw her hands up.

"Screw what we promised! It's okay, Louis. It is, because I've been sleeping with somebody else too." She said smugly. My jaw dropped, and I stared at her dumbfounded. She's lying.

"You're lying." My voice echoed my thoughts. She shook her head, and my stomach twisted.

"You wanna see the texts? Do you want me to call him? He's been wanting to tell you, I don't think he likes hiding." She laughed. She was really standing here, laughing at her confession. Who is this girl? Definitely not my Eleanor.

"Yes." My voice cracked, I prayed what she showed me wouldn't be true.

"Whatever, I warned you." She said, punching in her lock code. She pulled up the text screen.

She pointed to a name for me to click on, and I did. Joshua. Stupid name.

I scrolled through her messages to this boy, and as the evidence lay right in front of me, I felt the bile raise up my throat, and it took all I could not to cry.

"You've been lying to me?" I asked, my voice hardly a whispered.

"Yup." She said nonchalantly, checking out her manicured nails. I literally felt sick.

"Why are you acting like it's no big deal?" I asked, fuming.

"Please, Louis. You know we're just in this for Modest." She scoffed, taking her phone back. I felt humiliated.

"You may have been, but I wasn't." I spoke through my teeth. She looked like she was fighting a smile.

"Honestly? Didja think I went to tour with you because I loved you? Please!" She laughed. I wanted to break something. I wanted to smash her phone into a million pieces. How dare she do this to me?

"I want you out of my house." I said through gritted teeth.

"'Kay. Send my stuff through the mail, please." She said, before leaving wordlessly. I wanted to crumple on the floor. I wanted to go to this guys house and beat him within an inch of his life.

But I'm better than that.

I dialed Harry, and he picked up after two rings.

"Hello?" He said, it sounded like he was closing a car door.

"Where are you?" I asked, my voice shaking.

"Right outside, why?" He asked, no humor in his tone.

"Are the rest of the boys with you?" I asked.

"Yeah." He said as he opened the door. They all came in the kitchen, looking for me, I guess.

"What happened?" Niall asked, coming closer.

"Let's just say, Eleanor won't be around any more." I said, my voice barely above a whisper. But for some reason, I couldn't get a little girl with green eyes out of my mind, my little girl.

Two bombs dropped on me in one day. At least one was wonderful. I scratched the back of my neck as I met their gaze. I swallowed against the lump in my throat, I refused to cry in front of people over this. Only one time I had ever cried over a girl, and that was Zoe.

"Eleanor has been cheating on me. Honesty is my kid." I said it as a sigh.

"Lad, I'm sorry about Eleanor, but that's great! Honesty's yours! Zoe told you the truth!" Liam said happily. Everybody agreed with him, and I smiled around the group.

"Yeah, it is pretty amazing, ain't it?" I said, giddiness washing over me.

They boys all wrapped me into the biggest bear hug ever, which I gladly returned.

"Upside to this, you get to date Zoe." Harry said. I rolled my eyes.

"Just because I have a kid with Zoe doesn't mean she'll want to be with me." I realized how strange it sounded, but it was true.

"You make no sense." Zayn said as walked away. I watched him leave, and turned to the other boys.

"What's up with him?" I asked. They shrugged, and looked at each other.

"You hungry?" Niall asked. I smiled sheepishly.

"I already ate, like an hour ago." I admitted. Niall looked confused.

"So? That was an hour ago." He said. I stifled a laugh at his stomach logic.

"Did you eat by yourself?" Harry asked. I shook my head. Harry furrowed his brows, then a knowing smile crossed his face.

"You've been hanging out with Zoe today." He stated, no questioning in his voice at all.

"So?" I said, shifting my weight on the counter. Harry chuckled, and looked back at me.

"I see a relationship in the making." He winked at me. I cleared my throat, and looked at Liam, who was pretending not to listen. He smirked at me before his gaze returned to his phone. I flushed a bit, and then looked up at the high ceiling.

I'm Single.

I'm a Father.
