~Eleanor's POV~

He pulled me in from my right side and started whispering in my ear.  "Shh. It's ok, El, you're going to be fine. Shh.  It's all right." I leaned my head on his shoulder and took a deep breath.  Stop Eleanor I told myself. You're making a fool of yourself. It doesn't even hurt that bad. However, I abandoned my self control and finally looked at my elbow. It was a little scraped and kind of bleeding, but it really stung.

Louis caught me staring at my elbow and helped me up. "Let's go put a band aid on that.  I might have one in my car." he said to me.  I went with him, walking with his hand on the small of my back. It felt so good there, so comforting, like it belonged there.  We approached the car and he took his hand off, leaving my back cold and empty.  I felt selfish for wanting him to keep it there, but I guess he had better things to do than to make me happy.

Louis moved to his trunk to look for a first aid kit, but after a little digging came to the conclusion that in fact he did not have one. "Ok, you're coming with me to my flat so we can fix that up."

"Louis, it's really not that bad. I'll be fine." I argued back. Not that I didn't want to go with him, it's just that I didn't want to seem like a baby.

"Nope. No objections. You're coming." he replied, opening the passenger side door for me.  Sighing, I got in and closed the door.  He walked around to his side, got in, and started driving.

Now, to see where he lives...

~Louis's POV~

I opened the door to mine and Harry's flat, praying with all my heart that he wasn't here.  El came in after me and when I walked into the living room I breathed out in relief, not seeing Harry in the room. "Ok, this way El." I said to her, leading the way to the bathroom.

Once I got there, I dug in the medicine cabinet for a bandage.  When I saw one, I had to chuckle- it had my face on it! I had forgotten Paul had gotten us a bunch of One Direction merchandise for Christmas- as a joke of course. I turned around to a puffy eyed El and smiled.

"Why are you smiling like that Louis Tomlinson?" she asked cautiously. "You're making me nervous."

"Look at this band aid! It's like the coolest thing ever made in the history of making things!" I yelled enthrusiastically, waving the band aid in front of her face.

"Oh my gosh!" she laughed at it. "This is crazy!" She couldn't stop laughing, and soon it was contagious.  We were both on the floor holding our stomachs from the pain that laughing a lot brings.

Eventually we got up and went to sit on the couch, turning on the telly. I took a leap and grabbed her hand, intertwining our fingers.  I knew I had done something right when I looked over and she was smiling so wide it reached her eyes. I turned back to the telly and after a couple minutes I felt her head drop to my shoulder and saw her eyes close.  It felt so good just sitting here with here, even if she was sleeping.

Deciding it was best for both me and her that we didn't stay on the couch all night, I picked her up bridal style and walked up the stairs to the guest bedroom.  Once she was tucked in i kissed her forehead and whispered, "Sweet dreams, love."
