"That's all they really want

Some fun

When the working day is done

Oh girls they wanna have fun"

- Cindy Lauper, 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'

                It was going to happen in a parking lot.

                Well, maybe it was meant to happen somewhere else. I mean, I'm guessing that Louis had left the church so that he could get in his car and drive away, you know? Like, I don't know why he would just want to sit around in the parking lot while Eleanor stood inside and shot people, which sounded like something that she would do since she was that angry. Plus her dress was super big so she could've easily hid a shotgun or two underneath there.

                So now we were just standing in the parking lot like we were about to play kickball or something like that.

                Except we were dressed like we were going to a wedding. Obviously. Except me. I still looked like a bad Taylor Swift Halloween costume. And this would've been the worst game of kickball ever because we didn't have a ball and I wasn't about to volunteer my head. And I'm uncoordinated and in a dress so I probably would've been picked last.

                And, just to make things even better, I'm pretty sure that it was about to rain. Which wasn't even that shocking because by now you are aware of how I live in England and it rains just about every day. But that also meant that my several hours of good hair were about to come to a close. Well, we had a good run.

                "Louis!" Eleanor had been screaming his name since we had left the church. Although it wasn't really doing anything because Louis hadn't bothered responding to her. He just kept on walking to his car. "Louis, wait! What the hell do you think that you're doing?"

                Eleanor was a lot dumber than I thought she was. Maybe she failed her finals after all.

                "I'm leaving, Eleanor," Louis said, exasperated. He turned around to face her. And the rest of us (read: Connor, Harry, Liam, and I) because we were standing behind her.

                "You can't... you can't just leave!" Oh my God, Eleanor just stuttered. And she was being stupid. Did she really think that Louis was just going to stick around and marry her after she just admitted to sleeping with Connor? Like, honesty's super rewarding and all, but it doesn't work like that.

                "Well what the hell am I supposed to do, Eleanor?" Louis yelled back, waving his car keys in the air. "Do you want for me to just go back inside and marry you?"

                Eleanor paused and bit her lower lip. "Well..."

                Ha! I called it! She still wanted to get married! Ha ha, sucks for you, Eleanor! Because that wedding was over with a capital O-face.

                "Well that's not bloody happening," Louis said bitterly.

                "Wait, wait. Can you say that again for the camera?" Harry asked, shoving his iPhone in Louis's face. That was such a Junior move that I couldn't even handle it. I really hoped that the two of them weren't going to become friends. My life would be destroyed.

                Louis ignored him and pushed the button on his keys that unlocked his car. Oh. So he really was going to leave. Okay, Hunter, whenever you decided to say something was fine with me. Or else you were going to end up talking to a pile of dust while Harry filmed you and Louis drove off to wherever it was he was fleeing to.
