Chapter 18 (Would you Stop?)

***5 Months Later***
Eleanor’s P.O.V.
It’s been five months since I met Louis and Harry. Five months since Louis texted me. I kept or re-reading the last text he sent me.
From Louis: I’m really sorry, El. You have all rights to be mad at me. I hope you’re okay. Love, Lou. .xx
I missed him. After he left me I went back to being the bad me. I went to every bar I saw. I smoked everyday which made my mother hate me more. It’s not like I loved her. Since the day she and my dad split up I never talked to them. I never visited them. It’s been five months and I’m living with my mom. My dad came to see me just for a few days and then he stopped. He used to call, though. After that incidence Josh never found me. He never called and I was glad he didn’t. But, I still had those nightmares. I  always woke up in the search of Lou. He was never there.
Here I am, sitting in my room totally bored. Suddenly my phone went off and I quickly answered it up without glancing who it was.
“Hello?”
“El! Hey. There’s a party tonight. Would you join?” I recognized the voice. It was Emma.
“Uhhmm… Yeah, sure. What time?” I asked.
“I’ll pick ya at 7:30, okay?” she asked.
“Yeah, great!” I said and hung up.
I told my mom that I’ll be going out and she shouldn’t prepare dinner for me. She started with her usual lecture that I shouldn’t drink or smoke or anything and I lost it. I slammed the door on her face and sat in my room crying my eyes out.
“Why Lou? Am I so bad that you can’t be with me? Why me?” I cried.
I cried for some more time and then my best friend Kristen called me.
“Hey,” I said in a sad tone.
“You still aren’t over with him, are you?” she asked, angrily.
“Why did you call?” I ignored her.
“You have to come over, remember?” Shit. Shit. I had promised her that I’ll be going to her place.
“I’m sorry, Kris. I can’t,” I said.
“But, you promised! Why?” she asked.
“I’m hanging out with Emma,” I said.
“What? Again. Don’t you remember what happened last weekend?” she said. She was pissed.
“Yes,” was all I said.
“If you do then why are you going? Oh my god… Don’t tell me you’re smoking. You are aren’t you?” she asked. Fuck.
“You know I can’t stop it,” I said.
“You can try, though!” she yelled.
“Would you stop? First my mom and now you!” I yelled back.
“El, why don’t you understand? It’s not good-” I hung up the call and threw the phone against the wall and it broke into pieces. I’ll take a new iPhone. I quickly changed and went to the Apple store and got a new phone. I first texted Harry. He still doesn’t know that I continue smoking. If he knows he will be super pissed. I go back and start selecting my clothes for tonight.

Louis’s P.O.V.
***1 Day ago***
(Dream)
“No! El, please! Don’t leave me! I’m sorry,” I said but she didn’t return. What have I done?
“Lou! Boo.. Please wake up!” I felt someone waking me up. I opened my eyes in horror and I saw my mom. I quickly hugged her.
“Mom, she’s gone. She isn’t coming back!” I said to her.
“Who is it Lou?” she asked.
I sobbed in her arms and she shushed me.
“Lou, you haven’t woken up since yesterday. You slept for a whole day! What’s wrong with you?” she asked, concerned.
“Mom.. It’s El. She’s..” I trailed off.
“Yeah, Lou. I’m listening,” she said.
“Mum.. I met her 5 months ago. She’s a friend of Harry and I...” I told her everything.
“Do you love her?” she asked. Do I?
“Yes, mom. More than anything,” I said and she smiled.
“Then why don’t you tell her?”
“She’s mad at me, mom. And you know how much I am scared of commitment,” I said.
“I know, Lou. But I think you should tell her. You’re going to Manchester, right?” she asked.
