Chapter One: Single

(Louis' Point of View)

"I just can't handle it anymore." Her words hang in the air, creating a barrier between herself and me.

“What do you mean, Eleanor? Can’t handle what?” I ask her, confused. She had called me earlier today stating she needed to talk. Now we’re out for tea and I can tell something is bothering her.

“This, Louis, I can’t handle this. I just…I like you, I like you a lot, but the fans, they’re too much for me to handle. I know that’s lousy of me to say, but it’s true. I thought because I liked you a lot that I could put up with all the hate mail, but I can’t. It’s too much for me. I’m just a normal girl, wanting to love and be loved, but the person I like is you, and you’re famous. The fans send me loads of hate mail just for being your girlfriend, and it hurts. It hurts a lot. I don’t want you to hate me. I really don’t because I like you a lot. But I just can’t handle this anymore. Maybe if it was a different time, or a different place, it would have worked, but that’s not the case. I’m really sorry, please don’t hate me.” By this time, Eleanor was crying really hard and stumbling over her words.

                I wish I could hate her. I mean, she did just break up with me, but she’s right. She gets a lot of hate from people who don’t even know her and it’s my entire fault. So, I just hug her; soothe her, which makes her cry harder, but she needs to let it out. I know this is hurting her. She doesn’t want to do this but she can’t handle the pressure. She is just a normal girl trying to find love. People shouldn’t hate her for that. “I don’t hate you, El. I know this is hard. Maybe things would be better just to remain friends. You’re a great girl! You’ll find a lad one day that will treat you just right and you won’t be hated for liking him. Please don’t cry anymore.”

                “Thank you, Louis, so much. I really am sorry.” She says one last time before giving me a sad smile, setting money on the table for the tea, and leaving. I just remain here, finishing my tea while thinking over things.

                It really bums me out that Eleanor couldn’t handle the fans because she’s really cool. She gets on well with my family, she’s funny, she’s pretty, and she’s a really kind girl. There’s so much to like about her. Too bad not everybody could see that. But, maybe this really is for the best. Being in One Direction, I’m traveling a lot, and I don’t really have a lot of time for starting a relationship. Though, I’m still upset about this. I’ll just have to ignore it for now, though, because I have to go meet the boys for an interview.

                Now arriving at the radio station, my spirits are a little bit lifted. I’m still upset, but it’s nothing a fake smile can’t hide.

                I walk into the room to see a round table with five microphones spread out along the edges. In front of four of the mikes were my band mates and best friends Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Harry. I give them all a smile and a wave before taking my seat next to Harry.

                “Hello Boys!” I shout randomly causing Liam to cover his ears and pretend they are in pain while Niall busts out laughing. Zayn smiles and mutters a, “Hi” while Harry just frowns at me. I know he has something he wants to ask me, but he has to wait because the host for the show just walked in, meaning it’s time to get started. This makes me smile gratefully at the fella because he just saved me from having to tell Harry about Eleanor.

                “Welcome to 105 MBG. My name is Tristian and I’m the host. Thanks for being here!”

                “Thanks for having us, Tristian.” Says Liam. And then the interview continues on like any other interview. The host asks us questions we’ve heard a thousand times and we all joke around, give cheeky answers, and I usually would shout a little here or there, but today just isn’t a good day for me. I think Harry notices, too, because he keeps sending me glances. This just reminds me of my situation.

                I’m single now. It feels weird to say it. But, one thing is, how do I tell the boys? They were so sure that Eleanor and I would make it very far. I don’t want them hating her. I don’t even hate her. So I guess I’m just going to tell them what happened and hope for the best.

~Author’s Note: Hey guys! This is my first story, really, and not to mention my first ever fanfic. I hope you like it! And yes, this is a Larry Stylinson (that means boyxboy) story. I’ve been shipping them since July, when I found out about the boys. Also, I happen to like Eleanor, she’s really lovely (hopefully I portrayed her this way), but I just want Lou and Haz to be together. Haha. Anywho, if you’re reading, thank you! It would be awesome if you tell me your thoughts. Thanks xx~
