Charity Case ↠ Louis Tomlinson

08

Eleanor was sitting in the kitchen in his plaid button shirt and panties. "Hey. I saw your note, and I just took a shower over here. My clothes are getting washed." She explained, and Louis nods. He goes upstairs, and plops down on his bed. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No." Louis answers.

"Then why'd you leave?"

"Because I had to Eleanor! It doesn't matter to you! You're not my fucking girlfriend/ You're lucky if I even let you stay here!" Louis yelled, staring her dead in the eye. She backs out the room, and goes downstairs to continue what she was going.

Rosemary 

All the boys walked out the room, except for Harry. "Rosie, I know you're mad at Louis but there' a fifty percent chance he's doing something he's going to regret. Could you please come with us to try to make him happy?" Harry asked me, holding my hand tightly.

I stare at his eyes. He was very worried about Louis. "Yeah. But you have to make sure everything's okay with the doctor."

"We already checked before we came in." Harry smiled. He  helped me unconnect the wires from my body, and i pulled them out of my nose so we could go. Before I left, I grabbed the teddy bear Louis won me, and followed behind Harry. "Paparazzi saw Louis leaving so there's some outside."

Sighing, I followed behind Harry. When we walked out of the hospital, flahes went off. Harry covered my eyes, and yelled, "She has cancer. Can't you have a little respect?" The flashes stopped, but pictures were still being taken. "They annoy me so much."

"They seem annoying." I added.

We reached Louis' house quicker than I thought. Harry pushed open the door, and I followed him upstairs. The first room was empty, the second was a closet full of hand towels and body towels. The third door was the bathroom, so the last one had to be Louis'. 

The door was open, so when we got to the door, a girl was laying beside him. Their fingers were intertwined, and they were laughing about something. "Captain save-a-hoe. Someone's here to talk to you." Harry said, and me giggling at the nickname for Louis. Even though I've been around Louis, he had another girl in the house, so I didn't show myself. 

"Who?" Louis asked, annoyed with Harry already.

Harry noticed how I was squeezing on to the teddy bear, afraid to show myself. "It's just Eleanor."

"And she's beautiful." 

"So are you."

Harry moves out the way, showing me in a white cardigan, and a white beanie covering my pixie cut hair. I missed her long hair and I know I don't have a thigh gap, and seeing that Eleanor had beautifully long hair and was skinny made me second think about walking in that room. "Rosie?" Louis asked. 

Harry picked me up by my waist, and blocked the doorway so I couldn't walk back out. Louis was speechless because he wasn't expecting to see her standing right there. "I'm sorry, you know I am. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I would've come but she needed my help." 

"I understand. We just came to make sure you didn't do anything you regretted."

"So you forgive me?" Louis asked hopefully. 

"No I don't. I said I understand." I turned around, and Harry moved out of the way. He closes the door behind him, and it opens back up. 

"Rosemary! Rosemary!" Eleanor's voice echoed throughout the empty hall, and I turned around, Harry standing by me. "Alright Eiffel Tower. I'm capable of talking to a girl without a body guard." 

"You don't know what's going on, so I'd rather you shut your mouth." 

I was overly confused. I thought Eleanor and Harry were like best friends, but I stand corrected.

"This was all my fault. I don't know what happened between you two and why you guys are arguing but all I know is that I called him last night. Louis, Alex didn't even force me into anything. I made it seem like he did so he'd say those words and you'd come to my house. I-I'm sorry."

"Captain save-a-hoe." Harry mumbles, and I giggle. 

"Shut up Harry, and be serious." Eleanor fires at him.

"No. You did all this so you get Louis back. You could've called him and asked him to come over. Planning that whole thing was the most stupidest thing I've heard, Calder! She almost died because of what you did!" Eleanor looks at me, and gasp.

"Y-You're the one with cancer?" 

I nod.

Eleanor hugs me by surprise, and when she pulls away she looks at Louis. "I'm going home now. I talk to you whenever, Louis. I'm sorry Rosemary." Eleanor whispers, and looks at Harry, and rolls her eyes. Harry smirks, and I run to Louis giving him a hug. 

"I care about you Rosie. A lot." 

"I know."

☻☻☻☻

Louis watches Rosie in her peaceful sleep. She has a slight smile on her face, her teddy bear in her arms, and Louis laying beside her just admiring how she slpet. He didn't sleep because he wanted to make sure her breathing didn't stop or anything considering they're at his house and not the hospital. 

"Stop staring at me." Rosie mumbled, hiding her smile behind her teddy bear. 

"I can't. You're so adorable when you sleep."

"What time is it?"

"It's nearing seven, why?"

"Hospital doors shut at nine." 

"Two hours to go watch movies! Are you allowed to eat sugar cookies, cause that's the only cookies I can make that are edible." Louis says seriously, staring at her. She nods. "Hey, w-while we're in the kitchen, could you tell me how you got lung cancer even though you don't smoke?"

Rosie nods, and Louis lifts her with his arms under her knees and another supporting her back. "Put me down. I want my teddy bear!" Rosie lied. 

"Are you going to carry that everywhere you go?" Louis asked.

She nods. "It's a prized possesion."

"It's a teddy bear from an arcade."

"Yeah, but you won it for me." She blushed, hiding her face in his neck. When they got to the kitchen, he sat her on the stool, and she started explaining. "If you haven't noticed, my mom isn't here.  She died due to drug overdose."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Louis whispered, staring at her sympathetically. 

"But when I was younger, my parents, Lillian and Michael didn't know how to take care of a child. When I was first born, they were seventeen year old stoners. They smoked around me when I was little. When I was ten I started coughing harder and coughing up blood but it stopped after the doctor gave me medicine. It started when I was eighteen, I've had this cancer for a year. It isn't doing anything Louis, I'm just waiting for it to be gone or for me to die."

 "Hey, don't say that. You have a bigger chance of living, babe. I don't want to hear you doubt yourself."

Rosie looks into his eyes deeply, seeing that he really cared for her. Without thinking, she leans forward, and presses her lips against Louis'. She wanted to wrap her arms around him, but she realized what she was doing and pulled away. "I-I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." 

Louis kept quiet as he went back to putting the sugar cookies into the oven. "Louis, please say something? I-"

Their lips reconnected, only the kiss was made by Louis. 

In that moment, they both felt like they were on cloud nine.
