Forever Young~A Elounor Story

Chapter 8- Connor

~Eleanor's POV~

Louis's head lifted up and I saw that his eyes were red from crying. "Louis, what's the matter?" I asked him. "I don't know I guess I just didn't want to loose you a second time." Louis said and soon there was a tear rolling down the side of my cheek. 

We talked for a while and once in awhile the doctor would come in and check on me. Louis told me what happened to me and then I called the boys and Danielle. Louis had been talking to be for over 2 hours and I wondered if he really does still love me or this is because I'm hurt. I know one thing is for sure I still love Louis Tomlinson.

~Louis's POV~

It has been a month since Eleanor's accident. She is recovering very well and I have seen her so much. I volunteered to go over to her flat and help out when Danielle couldn't. El and I have gotten back to being friends which I think is a good step back into our relationship. El is going back to work tomorrow and I'm overly excited I just can't wait to see her up and walking again.

I walked into my bedroom and grabbed a box out from under my bed. This box is a bunc of love letters I wrote to El in the 2 months after we broke up. There were also some from about 4 months ago that weren't as nice. The only reason I got this box out and was looking through it was because I want to ask her out and I want her to see all the notes I wrote, but I have to take out all the ones that say how much I hate her. I'm going to put them on her desk and have a note about what it is. I know she'll say yes, she has to. We love each other.

~Eleanor's POV~

Danielle was a doll and drove me to work for the 1st time since the accident. AKA- she didn't trust me when I said I could drive. "Have a fun day at work, call me when you need me to pick you up." Danielle said. "Oh, I'll get a ride from someone." I said and then Danielle winked and chuckled then drove away. 

I walked into the building. Samantha came running up to me and gave me the biggest hug ever. "How are you?" She asked. We caught up on everything. "Louis was in your office this morning and left a box on your desk." Samantha told me. 

I walked into my office and sure enough there was a box on my desk. I walked to my desk and sat down in the chair. I lifted the lid to the box and there were a bunch of letters. 

After, 1 hour of reading a million love letters from Louis I had tears rolling down my cheeks. I love him so much, I kept saying in my mind. Then I grabbed the the last letter. It was the most recent one according to the date. I opened it and it read,

   Dear Eleanor,

I hate you! I hate what you have done to my mind. I only think of you and your face. I can't get it out of my mind! I don't know why I write letters to someone who doesn't listen or understand me. You just left me without me having time to explain. I was drunk, I didn't mean that. But, you didn't care! I'm done with you. No more writing letters to someone who would never love because you're a subborn gold digger! I should of listened to the fans about you.

From, Louis

I dropped the letter to the floor. I grabbed the box of letters and through it into the trash can. "I HATE HIM!" I yelled. 

I grabbed my purse and phone. I headed out of the door to the building and started walking. I walked about 3 miles, then started to become tired of walking. I was crying and crying. I stopped and walked into a little cafe that I never heard of. I walked to the counter and ordered a regular coffee with cream. "2.05 pounds." the cashier said. I gave him the money and got change. He handed me my coffee but then stopped and asked,"Are you alright?" I looked at him confused and then realized that I had puffy red eyes from crying. "I-I'm fine." I managed to say. "Then why are you crying?" the cashier asked nicely. "It's a long story." I told him. "Well good thing I have a 25 minute break right now." He said with a smile.

I talked with the cashier whos name is Connor. I told him about Louis and I breaking up, about getting the job, the accident, the kiss, and the letters. I'm surprised that I told a complete stranger stuff that I didn't even want to tell Danielle. 

"El, you seem like a nce girl and this Louis guy doesn't seem to deserve you." Connor told me with a straight face. "You really think that?" I said then looked up at Connor. "I do." Connor said.

"I have to get back to work, don't want to get in trouble." Connor told me. "Okay, thank you for listening." I told him as he got up from his chair. He turned around and started walking toward the counter then turned around. "El!" He said as I was opening the door to leave. "El, will you go out on a date with me?" Connor asked me with a huge smile. "I mean um I guess Ummm, yes." I said. "Okay! How about Wednesday. Maybe go out to dinner." Connor said nervously. "Yes, that works out." I told him with the biggest smile. "I'll text you then" He said then opened the door for me. "Okay." I said then walked out.
