"She's not even pretty."

"Why would Louis date someone who looks like a dog?"

"No one even likes her, she needs to go die."

Oh the Internet. The best place for people to bash people they don't know while safely hiding behind a screen name.

I closed my laptop and picked up my mobile. I sent a quick text to my boyfriend Louis and got up to stretch and head to the kitchen. After fixing myself a cup of cocoa I settled on the couch with the tv remote. Right as I found my favorite movie on, someone knocked on the door. I groaned and checked the time. 10:45. "Who the hell would come at this hour?" I thought to myself as I shuffled to the door and opened it a crack.

"Hello love." Louis smiled at me.

"Louis!!" I ran and hugged him as tight as I could. He picked me up and twirled me around, making me laugh, then let me down and kissed me. I stood on tiptoe to reach his lips. After a few minutes he pulled back.

"I've missed my El."

"And I've missed my Lou...but I thought you weren't supposed to be back from Paris for three days?" I asked, leading him inside. He sat on the couch and shook a few snowflakes out of his hair.

"The music video shoot ended early, and I wanted to surprise yo...uh oh."

"What do you mean, uh oh?"

"Hot cocoa, chick flicks, Mr Snugglekins," Louis held my old raggedy teddy bear up. "Something wrong El?" I looked to the ground and mumbled.

"What's that? You need a visit from...the tickle monster?" He stood up, walking towards me with his arms outstretched.

"No!" I squeaked, diving on the couch and hiding under the blanket.

"Yes, oh yes!" He grinned and jumped on the couch next to me, scooping me up and setting me in his lap. He tickled me until I laughed so hard my sides hurt, then smoothed my hair and looked into my eyes. "Now love, please tell me what's going on, please.."

I sighed. "It's nothing, really. I was just on Twitter and people were being a bit rude." My vision blurred, and I tried to swallow the lump in my throat. Louis looked at me sadly. "Eleanor, I thought you were going to stop reading all that stuff."

"I...I was, but I saw one by accident and couldn't stop." I gulped, tears running freely down my cheeks now. "And-and what if they're right? That im not g-good enough? I meant, you're Louis Tomlinson, famous singer and band mate of One Direction, and I'm just Eleanor." I choked on a sob and buried my face in his shirt.

"El, El look at me." I reluctantly sat up and sniffled.

"Please don't ever say that again, don't talk badly about yourself. It sounds super cliche but you're the most beautiful girl in the world. I can't imagine life without you. I love you so much." he hugged me tightly and kissed my head. "Now come on, you should get to bed." I yawned and nodded. "I love you too." I started to get up but he lifted me easily and carried me to bed.

Louis slept next to me, holding me in his arms. Anytime I would start to cry again, he would sing softly to me and stroke my hair. We remained like this until I was almost asleep. Then he kissed my forehead and I drifted off to sleep.
