Lover

Eliott Hart

Days have passed since I've met Tom. Call me crazy, but I can't not be tempted to replay the moment I met him. His hand running through his brown curls, his sunglasses covering up his brown eyes, and whenever he spoke he shrugged his shoulders or his eyebrows would come together that would emphasise the left one. I keep thinking of it. Keep thinking of him. And I'm almost certain that all my feelings that I've had as younger me have all flooded back into my life. I find myself checking his page a bit more, viewing his stories, following the latest news about him, searching his new movie releases and upcoming events. I've missed alot during the past year...
______________________________________________

It's a nice warm day. Which is quite rare in London. So our friend, Eliott, proposed that we do something together.

So we're having a picnic.

I hear a car horn outside. -" EliOTt iS HEre!" Jazmin yells. "CoMinG!" I scream back. I put on some eyeliner and mascara and head downstairs.

-"Heyyyy" Eliott says while simultaneously releasing my sister from his hug.
"Hey, El," I go up to him and wrap my arm around him, giving him a tight hug.
-"You guys ready to go? " And with those last words and quick nods from Jazmin and I, we make our way to the car and drive off.

"You're insecure! Don't know what fo-or! You're turning heads when you walk through the do-or-or!"

One Direction blasting in the radio, and all three of us are singing at the tops of our lungs! You know you can't go wrong with this song though. Eliott is driving, but singing the loudest and getting so caught up in the music that Jaz has to slap his arm once or twice, telling him to concentrate on the road and how much she would love for him to not get us killed! But El only calms down fully when the songs over. As much as he doesn't admit it, he absolutely loves One Direction. Poor boy was so sad when they went on hiatus. Shame.

Now I know you're probably all wondering, who is this Eliott guy? And if you weren't before, you certainly are now. Well...

Eliott Hart
Nickname: El/ Hart. Age: 23.
Job Status: Employed.
Job Description: Football Player. Relationship Status: Single as a Pringle.

Eliott and my sister were friends from high school. They were put in the same class in 8th grade, they were friends ever since. They both loved football, but they'd always argue about who was better, Manchester City (Who Jaz supported) or Liverpool (Who Hart supported). But even though they'd fight all the time, they never grew apart. They were best friends.

I guess Eliott wasn't so bad. Him and I got along quite well, if I do say so myself. He told me he watched the Iron-Man Trilogy 100 times before, because he was absolutely intrigued by Mr. Anthony Edward Stark and we've been Marvel-Marathon-Buddies ever since! We talked way more often after and he was really just a bigger brother to me. He was always around us, "protecting us" from God knows what, and most of all, he was always eating our food!

Then one day, 5 years ago, Hart received a scholarship to London because of his soccer skills, which was great because it meant that he was recognized from all the way in London! And it was an amazing chance for him to expand and get more opportunities to actual football clubs, which- again- was great. The sad part was when he was leaving. My sister was devastated. Not because she was jealous or whatever, but because they were probably never gonna see each other again. My sister had developed feelings for him at that point, but Eliott had a girlfriend back then. Jaz eventually accepted it and decided that she sees him as her best friend... And only her best friend.

He really prospered though, with that scholarship, 'cause he's in Liverpool's 2nd team!
How great is that?

Then fate had become our friend last year when Jaz had been offered a job there at one of the children's hospitals and I got accepted to study Medicine in Kingston University!
One thing lead to another, we reconnected with him (ran into him at a grocery store) and here we are now, singing to One Direction in the car on our way to our picnic. Just Jazmin, Eliott, and Alia. Just the three of us. Because... We're all we really have... Just us three.
