The Day I Met My Best Friend Again

Talking To Eleanor

“I’ll carry her up to our room.” Niall whispered, not wanting to wake her up. The other four nodded. They were too tired to care. They would’ve just left her in the car, to be honest.

None of them made it past the living room. A few hours later they were all woken up by the sound of Louis’ cell phone.

“Louis answer the damn thing!” Emma yelled.

Louis rolled over and reached his hand around until his found his phone.

“Yeah?” He yawned into his phone.

“Lou?”

“El? What do you want? It’s early. I had a long night last night.”

“I saw…” She trailed off.

“What do you mean you saw?” Louis asked sitting up, looking around at his sleeping friends. None of them had posted a video or anything.

“Apparently the paparazzi caught sight of you.” Eleanor spoke, calmly.

“Ughhh.” Louis groaned.

“Seems like you were getting cozy with Emma. Care to explain?” She said, causing Louis to groan.

“Damn.”

“So what? No explanation? Maybe we should break up Louis..” Eleanor trailed off. Louis eye’s widened

“No! El, those pictures were taken out of context!”

“Care to explain how you holding her in your arms is taken out of context? Or how you on top of her, or her on top of you is taken out of context?”

“It’s a long story which I can explain later, after some much needed sleep.” Louis said.

“No Louis.  I think it’s best if we break up. I don’t like having to worry about whether or not the pictures the paparazzi took are out of context. “

“Eleanor…” Louis said, on the verge of tears.

“I’m sorry Lou.” Eleanor whispered trying to keep her own tears in as she hung up the phone. Louis looked at his phone in shock before throwing it across the room. It landed with a loud crash.

“Louis? What the hell?” Harry said as the rest of the group started waking up. He looked around the room.

“Eleanor broke up with me.”

“Why?” Zayn asked putting his head on Emma’s shoulders trying to sleep. She pushed him off and laid across him, Harry, and Niall.

“Because she saw pictures of me and Emma from last night. “ Louis mumbled looking down.

“Are you serious?” Emma groaned. “My life is completely turned into a soap opera.”

“Hang in there babe.” Niall said pushing her feet off of him. She rolled her eyes. She stood up yawing, before falling back down onto the boys.

“Too tired.” She mumbled as the boys laughed. About forty minutes later Emma was dressed and to go.

“Where are you going?” Louis asked the girl who had a determined look on her face.

“Oh, nowhere…” She said nonchalantly.

“Don’t lie to me Emma. I’m not in the mood.” Louis said blocking the door.

“Fine. I’m going to see a friend of ours.” Emma said vaguely.

“Danielle is still on vacation.”

“I meant Eleanor.” She said rolling her eyes. Louis eyed her for a few seconds before sighing and letting her past.

A few minutes later Emma was standing outside Eleanor’s door. She took a deep breath and then knocked. The door was thrown open.

“What do you want?” Eleanor spat.

Emma sighed and pushed past her. “I am not in the best mood. Today is my brother’s funeral, and I was rudely woken up by Louis’ cellphone going off then him explaining that you broke up with him because of some stupid picture. Care to explain?”

“I’m sorry that I don’t like seeing pictures of my boyfriend with other girls.”

“Can I explain now?” Emma  asked , and Eleanor reluctantly nodded. “When we got to the bowling alley there was a lot of fans, and I was just shocked and upset so I went to storm off but he pulled me back and wouldn’t let me go because he was afraid I would run off. I promised him I wouldn’t and then he pushed me towards Niall. Then we went go-kart racing and I was teasing him then he started chasing me and we were out in the parking lot and he tackled me then flipped us in the air so that he was the one who landed on the cement, not me, then we went ice skating and I was talking to Niall and he skated past going unbelievably fast and grabbed me, I assume to slow himself down, and we ended up falling.” Emma said, not once moving her eye’s from Eleanor.

“Are you done?”

“No, as a matter of fact I’m not. Louis is a wonderful guy, and he isn’t a cheater. You of all people should know that. You’re right, you shouldn’t have to worry about pictures being out of context, because you should trust him and know that it doesn’t mean anything. And I know it sucks pictures of your boyfriend with other girls, I know.”

“And how would you know that?” Eleanor snapped.

“You don’t know what happened between me and Niall, do you?” She asked softly. Eleanor shook her head no. “We were dating when he went to audition for the X-Factor, we were together that whole time, and he broke up with me at their first interview when he told everyone he was single.”

“Woah.”

“Yeah, so I hated One Direction for that reason, not because I didn’t like their music or like them as a band, it was simply because I was heartbroken.”

“I’m sorry.” Eleanor said looking down.

“Don’t be. But the thing is Eleanor, Louis is head over heels in love with you and he wouldn’t do anything to screw it up. You should know that.”

“It’s just frustrating.”

“I know. But you have to trust him. That’s part of the territory of being famous, you have to share him. It’s not fair because, you want him all to yourself. But, if you love him you would be willing to put up with that.”

“I’m sorry for hating you.”

“Don’t worry about it, but you should probably call Louis and ask him to meet up with you so you can talk it out and get back together. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got funeral plans to take care of.”

“Why don’t your parents take care of the funeral plans?”

“I don’t have any of those.” Emma said without any emotion as she walked out.
