Chapter 7: Finally Found

Chapter 7: Finally Found

I sat there on my bed, wanting Eleanor to come over . She hasn't been over since Bricklen was kidnapped, she said "I just can't handle seeing Zayn like that, it would break me to pieces. I don't see how you can handle it". She was crying when she spoke about it.

Pulling out my phone I dialed her number. The rings coming through from the other line, she finally answered.

"Hello"? She answered. She was breathing hard, like she just took a hike up a mountain.

"Hey, babe. I was wondering if you wanted to come over today. I haven't seen you in two weeks, Zayn needs somebody else to talk to besides just us guys. So what do you say"? I asked her with a happy voice, trying to convince her.

"Louis, I don't know? I'm going to end up crying or something drastic if I see Zayn, please don't make me come over". She pleaded, I rolled my eyes. Same excuse every time.

"Whatever Eleanor. You have the same excuse every time, think about the lads and I. We have been here for two weeks with Zayn, dealing with his outbursts and his crying. You can at least come over and tell him everything is going to be alright". I sneered into the phone. She was being pathetic.

"Alright, I guess Louis. If I start crying though, I'm leaving instantly". She said with a voice I couldn't explain.

"Well, I guess that's better than nothing. See you soon, love you". With that I made a kissing noise into the phone and hung up.

She has been acting so weird lately, she rarely talks to me anymore, she doesn't come to the house every other day like she used to. It's just weird. Her behavior is unreal to me. I love her and all but she's just not the same to me.

I was about to text her when I heard a girls voice coming from downstairs, I stood up and ran out of my room, then I basically dived down the stairs. She laughed at me as I tripped on the last step.

"Hey, babe". She said wrapping her arms around my neck and giving me a kiss. I smiled through it.

"How have you been, we don't talk much anymore". I explained. She nodded, her smile turning into a frown. I hugged her tightly. "It's going to be okay Eleanor, I promise". She only looked into my eyes and nodded her head in understanding.

"I've been good actually, thanks for asking. Just a bit tired from work and everything, but besides that I've been okay". She smiled and then walked over to Zayn, holding my hand the entire time.

"Hey Zayn, how you doing"? She asked him rubbing his back, while she sat next to him. It was a rougher day for him, considering it's Bricklen's birthday today.

"Not to good Eleanor. It's Bricklen's birthday today and the kidnappers sent a video of Bircklen singing 'Happy Birthday' to herself". He smiled weakly and hugged her, as they let go of the hug he noticed something on her left wrist. "What was that on your wrist"? He asked instantly. She looked at it and her eyes got wide but then settled down in a matter of seconds.

"Oh just some dirt probably, I'll go wash it off real quick". She stood up abruptly but got pulled back down by Zayn. "What the hell Zayn"? She gasped. He grabbed her left wrist and examined it.

"Why is there a star on your left wrist, made of sharpie"? He questioned loudly, almost yelling at her. She shrugged her shoulders, her face was in shock.

"Some guy at work drew it on there today". She answered.

"Stop your lying Eleanor! I know when you're lying". He hollered at her.
