I Don't Need Superman, I Need You

Chapter 6: Breaking Hearts

"Why do you drive me crazy?"

I hear a soft whisper and soft lips pressed to my ear. I smile a bit as it tickles. I was about to laugh when I didn't know who was next to me. Harry had gone back to bed after our..er..kiss. I turn slightly and see it's Louis smiling down at me. I sigh and move away.

"Lou. I thought you were mad at me." I get up and stretch and look back at Louis. He's staring at his hands frowning a bit.

"I was..But I really like you Sophie and I-"

I raise my hand to stop him as he looks up."Stop, Louis. I don't want a relationship. Does no one understand this? Please..Can we just be friends? I'm sorry to friendzone you right now..But I just can't do this. I like being single. I don't want a broken heart. And I really don't want to be treated the way you treated Eleanor. That was cruel Lou. She didn't deserve that in the least. She's a sweet girl and you made her feel like crap. No girl deserves that. No girl. So I'm going to please ask you to leave." I sigh and point to the door.

His mouth parts like he wants to say something, but he just presses them into a straight line and nods. He goes out the door and shuts it softly. Frustrated, I grab my my hair and pull. Living in Casa De Uno Direction is not fun. I sigh and run over to my closet. I need to talk to Eleanor. I rummage through everything until I find my bag and pull out my iPhone. I send her a quick text asking her to meet me at the Starbuck's around the corner. I run to the bathroom and brush my teeth quickly and run back into the room. I pick up the phone and see she responded.

Hope you don't want to yell at me too. I'll be there in 15 :) -El xx

I would never yell at her. She didn't deserve what Lou did. I throw on a pair of jeans and a sweater. I grab my phone and tie up my hair not really caring about my appearance. I creep downstairs and look around. Zayn is laying on the couch for some reason with his eyes closed and his hair all messed up. I look around and see the coast is clear. I run over to the door and when I was about to open it I hear a voice behind me.

"Where are you going, Soph?" I turn to see Liam holding a waffle in his hand. I smile.

"Starbuck's. Be back soon. Promise." I run and give him a kiss on the cheek and run back out the door before he can protest.

I make it there in 10 minutes and find Eleanor's brown hair fast and sit in front of her. She smiles up at me but looks back down.

"Why did you want to talk?" She whispers, then takes a sip of her drink. She looks like a mess. Usually dressed up, she looks bad. Sweats, messy bun. No makeup. Bags under her eyes. Tear stained cheeks. Louis really broke Eleanor Calder.

"I want to clear everything between us. I am not dating Louis. Neither will I be in the near future. I like being single. And It's going to stay that way for a long while, babe." I take her hand and she looks up at me.

"Are you serious?" She smiles slightly. I nod and she squeals. She reaches over the table and squeezes me.

"I have a chance with Lou?" She whispers. I hug her tight and she sits back down and smiles at me while she stirs her drink.

"I honestly thought you were out to get him ." She laughs.

I smile at her and bite back the words that were tempted to fall off my tongue.

The words that are:

I'm falling for Louis.

But I'm falling for Harry too.

And my life is majorly messed up and I need to get it together.

~~~~~~

Over the next few days, nothing's happened. Everything was back to normal. Louis and Eleanor were together again. It hurt. But I ignored everything. I ignored how I felt when I saw them together.

I couldn't feel jealousy over this. It's much too stupid and pointless. I have to get myself together and move on. I won't get involved with any of One Direction.

It's decided. Being the huge Potterhead that I am...

Unbreakable Vow.

Harry and I haven't really spoken much. We have basically just forgotten the kiss. But I can't just forget something like that happened.

"Sophie? Can you come down here for a second?"

I hear Liam call me softly. Eleanor and Louis went shopping and Zayn and Harry went to go get a tattoo that Zayn wanted. I put down the book I was reading and head downstairs. Liam had a paper in his hand and he was crying. I immediately went over to him and wrapped him in a hug. He turned and cried into my neck.

I smoothed his hair down like I used to do to Joey when he was upset and tried to soothe him by shushing him like a baby.

"What's wrong Liam? Tell me please. I don't like to see you like this." I murmur and kiss his hair. He pulls back and looks up at me.

"We aren't related."

And like that my world is shattered all over again.

This time. The pieces can't be put back together.
