Hidden Love

Chapter 9

Eleanor's POV

I put the last of my clothing in my suitcase and sigh as I firmly zip it up. My passport and tickets are all set, my father waiting back home for me to discuss future plans. Honestly, I couldn't take it here. I wanted a fresh start in London, but the universe gave me the opposite. Worse, Louis had been avoiding me the whole time, not even sending a text goodbye. Danielle had vanished from sight and Perrie was sulking around the room.

"I can't believe I'm going to be alone here." she sighed, disappointment in her once bright eyes.

I sling my carry-on over my back. "You'll get new roommates, Perrie. You do know that, right." I give her a playful smile, but that only makes her frown more. She opens her mouth to say something but gets cut off when Harry comes rushing in accompanied by Zayn.

"We have a problem." Harry says, a worried expression on his face.

I begin to heat up when Harry explains the problem. "So he thinks you're vampires." Harry finishes.

"Personally, I just think he's high." Zayn adds on.

Perrie groans, putting her head in her hands. I run my fingers through my hair, clearly stressed out. I know what I have to do. I'm just dreading having to do it.

"Where is he now?" I ask.

Harry and Zayn share a look. "We locked him in the room. He was going to tell the administrator his crazy assumptions. We couldn't let him do that, she'd think he was drunk or something." Harry informs.

"I'll go talk to him." I tell them and abandon my luggage. I'd have to worry about my flight later.

I make my way to Louis' dorm, the trip seeming to linger on forever. I finally get there and realize that I didn't have a key. Louis wouldn't be able to open the door since he was in "confinement" so I sighed and though it through. Where was the place where everyone kept their keys in movies and tv show?. Under plants, but that was outside. My eyes dart down to the furry welcome mat placed below. Of course. I bend down, slipping my hand under the mat. Sure enough, I feel the cool metal of the key it and pull it out.

I slowly open the door, and chuckle as I see a chair placed under the doorknob of the guys' room. I quietly close the door behind me and remove the chair. Opening the door I find Louis looking out the window. When he spots me though, his eyes go wide and he jumps back. "Y-you. Stay away from me, whatever you are."

My heart sinks. This is exactly what I was afraid of. Finding out my secret could ruin Louis for good. Although by the looks of it, it already had. "What you saw-it wasn't real." I assured, slowly walking toward Louis.

"Stay back!" He yelled, grabbing the nearest object and throwing it at me. I thankfully dodged a history book. I had to do this quick before things got out of hand. I zipped over to him and held his squirming shoulders with my hands. I looked directly into his eye. "Calm down." I spoke. "Stay still, don't say anything."

The only way I'd be able to save Louis is to have him stay away from me.

Tears rolled down my cheeks and I shook. "I want you to know that I love you." I admitted to him. "Even though you won't remember this, I wanted you to know that this time with you has been the time of my life. For once I felt like a regular person. Doing regular things and feeling human emotions. But...but Louis I'm not human. I'm a vampire, I was born this way. I have instincts and I have urges. Deep down, I know I have darkness in me somewhere and there's no telling what will happen to me over the years. I'm immortal. I can never have a family, I can never have children. I'll be 20 forever, I'll be on this planet forever. But know that I'll never forget you. You were my first love. But I can't be your last. I hope you find someone someday, a human girl who you can love and have a real family with. I'll be watching you." I pour out, laughing at the last words.

"Louis, forget about me. You will forget about me and you will forget about what you saw. You will forget who I am and the first time we met. To you, I'm just a random girl." Immediately after the last few words, I vanished, leaving Louis alone in his room, confused."

Louis POV

I blink fast, wondering how I got here. Oh yeah, Harry and Zayn had locked me up. Probably some trick on me. I rolled my eyes, and proceeded to get out of the room when I stepped on something cold.

It was a key. I picked it up and examined it. It was the one to our dorm, I knew that because there was a small yellow dot on it. I grabbed an orange and peeled it on the way down to Niall's dorm. I opened it to find all 4 guys on the couch, talking. "Real funny, trying to lock me up guys." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, I honestly have no idea why I did that." Zayn chuckled.

"Let's watch the Xfactor." Harry suggested, switching the channel.

The next morning, I was ready for my flight. After a long night, I finally put myself together and accepted things for what they were.

"Perrie! Lets go!" I yelled, standing by the door. Perrie was coming with me to Romania, she'd decided, after a nightly chat we had. Then we were flying back out to Iceland, and possibly somewhere exotic and lively. I was going to live forever, and I decided that I wanted to see the world. Really see it.

I laughed as Perrie came out hopping with one sock on. She was wearing skinny jeans and a knitted sweater. After she got her boots on, she grabbed her suitcase and bags and grinned. "Ready."

We strolled through the dorms, passing early risers and visitors. Getting of the elevator, we came to the main lobby. Not looking where I was going, I bumped into someone causing them to nearly drop a cup of coffee. Luckily I caught it just in time. "Sorry!' I apologized looking up at them. I nearly gasped as Louis looked directly at me. My heart skipped a beat.

He chuckled. "Impressive. And it's no problem."

I nodded my head and watched as he passed me and got onto the elevator. I looks at Perrie and she gave me a sympathetic smile.

I took a deep breath as we walked out of the University of Manchester, leaving behind memories that would be etched into my mind, forever.

"Lets get a start onto the rest of our lives."
