The Last Attempt

1.

"c'mon louis! we have to get ready for our date!" her voice rang through my ears, making my stomach turn. i dont want to go anywhere with her, i want to be with harry, wherever he is. "louis, you piece of shit come on!"

her footsteps echoed through the hallway, making my body shake violently. "well, are you coming or not?" i sighed heavily, "yeah, im coming." she stormed out of my room, leaving the doorway empty and cold.

"louis! there are paps and fans outside come on we have to give them what they want!"
'yeah but i don't want you..' i said, trying to say it as quiet as possible. eleanor gets pissed easily, and i dont want anything to do with it, or her for that matter.

my body slugged down the hallway, not wanting to be near her. yes, she was nice sometimes, but other times she was just violent. never would i ever get a chance to talk to harry, which is what was keeping me alive.

i stood next to her, my arms shaking as she stuck out her hand. "sometimes i feel bad for doing this," the sarcasm in her voice was unbelievable, "but i love to see you suffer." she forcefully grabbed my hand, opening the door and dragging me out infront of all the paps and fans outside the flat.

there was a limo waiting to pick us up, which i was relieved. i couldn't stand being forced to be seen with her in public. she shoved me through the door of the limo, pushing herself in as well.

closing the door, she grabbed my arm. "where are we going for our date, honey?" she said violently, making me want to punch her right in the face. "i don't know about you," my voice was shaky, "but i want to go wherever you aren't. you treat me like shit. i'd rather be around a murder than be around you."

"well that's shame.." her face sunk. i actually thought she was being serious. but then, she jumped. "because i'm not going to leave you alone."

the limo driver looked in his review mirror, seeming confused, "you kids okay back there?" i looked at eleanor and shook my head slightly. "oh yeah, we're totally fine! if you could just take us to the nearest coffee shop, that'd be great."

the driver nodded and focused back on the road. my phone buzzed in my pocket. i grabbed it and clicked the homebutton to turn the screen on.

it was harry.
* hey lou. um, i know that you're out with eleanor today, but i need you. i want to talk and to just see you. text/call me whenever you get the chance. h. x *

'oh shit' i managed to say under my breath. harry and i haven't seen each other in months. and he wants to talk. well, i wanted to talk to him to, about something that i haven't told anyone else.

i looked down at my covered arms, tears beginning to fill my already red eyes. it has to be told.

after a long thought process, i responded.

*sounds like a plan. maybe tomorrow or sometime this weekend. i have something important to tell you, and i feel like i should tell you in person and not over the phone. *

"here we are. the closest coffee shop. and the most popular one." the driver had a big smile on his face. before i was shoved out of the car, i tipped the man with a $5 bill, making sure he was paid enough for what he did for a living.

i stumbled out of the car, my hand immediately being grabbed and held uncomfortably. "im sorry we have to do this.." her voice is low and soft, like she actually means it. "i know you'd much rather be with harry but, just think, you'll be with him in no time."

i looked at her and smiled, thinking that she maybe does have a sweet and sensitive side to her. yeah, she can be a bitch. but maybe she could be like, you know, a nice bitch.

we walked through the door to the coffee shop, frantically pushing our way through paps and fans. i instantly jerked my hand away from hers, shoving it in my back pocket to grab my phone, to see that i had two new messages.

both were from harry.

* well, i have nothing planned today. maybe you could swing by and talk. *

* oh, and i love you babe. hope you're doing alright :) x *

a small, dorky smile shined on my lips. his sweetness always made my heart flutter.

* okay. what time should i be over there? *

it took about 15 minutes for him to reply, which gave me and eleanor enough time to get some tea and coffee and to find a seat. my phone vibrated in my pocket, making me almost jump out of my seat.

* is around 4 okay? *

i swiped my finger down to reveal the time.

2:30

* okay, sounds good babe. see you then :) *

it took about an hour to drink and 'talk' to eleanor for a while to make it look like we were on the date. but, afterwards, we didn't speak, nor did we look at each other. all i was focused on was getting to harry's to talk.

-

i ran out of the coffee shop and into the limo, which quickly pulled off when i said "harry's flat!".

a couple minutes later, i was standing infront of harry's flat, ready to go in and finally be with him. be wrapped in his strong muscular arms. hear his low, raspy voice whisper cute things in my ear. i want to feel his lips on mine again. it's been too damn long.

i ran up to the door, almost tripping on one of the steps. i was excited to see curly again.

the door swung open and tears instantly filled my eyes. my legs took off and i jumped into his arms, wrapping my legs around his torso and hiding my head in the crook of his neck. my voice cracked when i began to speak, "oh my god i missed you." i lifted my head to look him in the eyes. a cute, sly smirk appeared on his lips. "how much did you miss me?" "this much.." i slowly leaned in, locking our lips perfectly.

his hands were under my ass, holding me so i didn't fall. i ran my hands through his thick curls. "i love - you." harry said between kisses. that made me want to kiss him longer, deeper.

i placed my forehead on his, making sure our eyes were aligned. he slid his hands up my body as he put me down slowly.

"well," harry sighed, laughing a bit, "you sure haven't gotten taller since i last saw you." i couldn't help but smile. he has always been taller than me, no matte how much i grew, he would always be taller. which i didn't have a problem with and neither did he. he always told me that i looked adorable when i stood on my tippy toes to try
and kiss him.

"well, looks like you got some more curls there, curly." his laugh was so pure. i haven't heard him laugh like that since i was last with him, of course.

"oh god how i missed you." he wrapped his arms around my waist, while i let my arms fall around his neck. i nuzzled my head into the crook of his neck, sniffing and smelling how good he smelled. we backed away and just looked at each other.

suddenly, i felt his hand grab mine, intertwining our fingers. "c'mon lou. we have some catching up to do.."
