Sorry, I Love You <3 - A Louis Tomlinson fanfic

Chapter 3- Finally skypeing

Eloise's POV

After that long, boring school day was over I rushed home saying my goodbyes to the girls at the gate. I had explained everything to them throughout the day and I was ready to get home and speak to Louis. I wanted to hear his voice, see his face. Watch his lips move as he spoke. I wanted to see him enjoying himself, smiling that beautiful smile. I wanted to look at his eyes as they glimmered in the light. To see him happy, to see him smile. I just wanted to watch him be him again. Whether it was with the boys or if it was with me. That's all I wanted and if that's what he wanted to do too then I was happy. But I don't think he does. He can't we are best friends he doesn't like me that way. He thinks of me as a sister not as a potential girlfriend.

I was woken out of my thoughts when I hit something hard! It was a tree, I was running home and I hit a tree. I was now on the ground and I slowly helped myself up. I was still a bit dizzy and I think there was a lump forming on my head. Ow. I squinted in pain as I touched my forehead. Time to walk now. I will ice it when I get home safe. I thought to myself.

Louis POV

It had been a long day in the office. We had a photo shoot then an interview and a meet and greet. It wasn't the best day for me as I couldn't get my head off Eloise. She was all I thought about all day and I had to stop myself from texting her. She needed to study and concentrate in class. I was looking forward to seeing her bright brown eyes. Hearing her voice and seeing her brown locks. She was perfect I just didn't know how to tell her that. Should I tell her tonight on my two year anniversary or wait until I can do it in person. I needed some help but who to ask?

When we were back in the black van on our way back to the flat harry sat next to me and the others were on the other seat.

"Hey Lou, you weren't yourself today is something up?" harry questioned me looking into my eyes as I turned my head to meet his gaze.

"Uh, no Harry nothing, it's just... um I don't know" I didn't know how to explain to him my feelings for Eloise. "Nah man don't worry about it" I finally decided not to worry, but harry knew something was up and wasn't having any of it.

"Lou, speak to me. Please I'm here for you." Harry said in a more trusting way. I finally gave in and decided to confess.

"I-I-It's El-Elly." I stuttered. "Something about her makes me weak. Her eyes are perfect, her face her hair. Just everything. I just can't tell her because we are best friends. She wouldn't like me in that way. Never. Ever. In a billion years" I continued explaining. "I am Skypeing her tonight but I don't know whether to tell her or not" I turned my head and started playing with my fingers staring at them "Should I wait to we see each other in person or just tell her now?" I had just told him everything. Harry was one of the few people I trusted.

"Yes Lou, I know what your problem is" He rubbed my back trying to comfort me. It didn't help. "I think you should do what feels right" Now he sounded like a lecturer. "If you think it is right to tell her over Skype then do it, If you think it's wrong and you should wait then don't" With that he stopped rubbing my back and turned my head to face his. "Do what feels right Lou; she will respect you either way"

"Thanks a lot Harry that really gives me something to think about" I hugged him tightly and returned to my thoughts. I was worried. What is she didn't like me or support me. What if it all went wrong?

~later that night~

I sent Eloise a text. It read:

You ready to Skype I'm waiting <3

I was sitting at my laptop on my bed in my room when I start to get an incoming call. I accepted quickly and started my camera. Eloise started her camera aswell. Butterflies went crazy in my stomach when I saw her beautiful face. My heart dropped when I saw the big purple lump in the middle of her head. Oh no, maybe she did get beat this morning.

"Hey" she said happily.

"Oh my god, Eloise, What happened to your fore head?" I was really worried about her now.

"Oh" she laughed a little "I was running home this arvo when I ran into a tree" she laughed again "I fell to the floor. I'm okay now I iced it. It's a little bit sore but its fine" She smiled. I couldn't help but laugh remembering how clumsy she was. At least once a day she would drop her books. Or. Run into someone. Fall over. Or even fall off her chair in class. I chuckled more.

"What are you laughing at Mr?"

"I was just remembering how clumsy you were when I was with you" I laughed again. She thought for a little bit then laughed as well.

"Do you remember that time when we were" I paused to laugh "in the main corridor of school. And. And you ran into the principal, spilling his lunch everywhere" I laughed but clearly she didn't think it was funny.

"That wasn't funny I got like a 2 week detention from that. He thought I meant to do it" she bit back.

"But you have to admit when you looked down at him on the floor covered in pasta and milk you laughed a little."

"Yes, how could I not he was covered in food," we were laughing so hard I started to get a stitch. The boys heard me and burst through the door. Only Harry knew who I was Skypeing tonight and just smiled, the others looked confused.

"Who's that Louis?" Liam asked. I turned the camera so he could see. They all waved.

"Hey, Elly" They chanted, Niall a little louder than the rest. I turned the camera back and the boys jumped on the bed next to me. Before we knew it we were doing cartwheels, dares, eating stupid food and laughing until our stomachs hurt. Elly was good friends with the boys but still thought I was the best. We were having a good old time until Zayn fell asleep on my shoulder. We decided to draw a bead on his face and then carried him to bed. The other boys went to sleep and Harry winked at me as he left the room. It made me more nervous and I really didn't know how I was going to do it.

"Lou, what's wrong you haven't been yourself tonight," Eloise had noticed "You hardly did any of the dares, normally you are the first person to do them" I screamed inside and let out a sigh. I had to tell her now.

"Its just I've been thinking"

"About what Lou? Please tell me" she was begging me how could I say no?

"Us" That was weird I thought "Like me and you," I think she was confused still so I explained some more "Eloise, I've always had feelings for you. Today they got the best of me, I couldn't think straight, communicate with fanes, talk properly or even muck around with the boys. You were always on my mind. You always are. The day I left was one of the saddest days of my life. It was also one of the happiest aswell. I met these lads" I motioned may arm around the apartment "But I left you. The only reason I went was because you told me to. You told me it was for the best. You told me we could keep in touch and still be friends. The truth is I want to be more then friends. I don't know what I want from this. I guess I just want to know if you feel the same. I love you Eloise" I finished with a tear running down my cheek.

"LouLou" the way she said that made my stomach turn even more. She gave me that nickname and was the only one who used it. I loved it."That is the nicest thing anyone has EVER said to me. Lou, your eyes shine so bright the sun should be jealous, you light up my world. Your face, your personality, your hair, your eyes and your smile. They all light up my world. Not the sun. I do feel the same way. I love you Louis William Tomlinson" with that she was almost finished. "I have been thinking about you ever since you left" All the butterflies in my stomach flew away and I sighed in relief. I wish I could reach through the camera and kiss her but I couldn't I needed to fly home. I needed a break.

"Elly, I love you. I Virtual kiss?" I puckered my lips and closed my eyes. She did the same. "mwah" we both made a kissy noise and reopened our eyes.

"I better get to bed its late" I said looking at my watch.

"Since when did my LouLou go to bed before midnight?" she just called me her LouLou. She called me HERS!!! The butterflies were now back. I didn't want to leave but I had a big day tomorrow.

"Since I became an international superstar and I have plans tomorrow. Sorry I don't want to leave" I kissed my hand and blew it to her. She pretended to catch it and placed it on her lips.

"Okay, Goodnight LouLou sleep tight" she called me that again ahhh. She called me it all the time but now it was even more special.

"Goodnight babe" with that I hung up closed my laptop and crawled into bed.
