Blue Eyes (Tommo Series Prequel)

Getting Somewhere.

It was tough, mostly for me. I had to push myself into my work just to keep myself sane. It stung every time I heard his name. We hadn't spoken since the VMA's, but it wasn't like we were fighting. I was busy, and so was he.

I was beginning to think that maybe we just weren't meant to be. I didn't want to be the other woman, I didn't want that to be how I was recognised. I wasn't going to be her for the rest of my life.

I'd begun to give up, it was just too good to be true. We were better off friends and that's the way I chose to see it.

It didn't matter that his mates would tease us about each other, or that Harry would call me up in the telephone and remind me how much I was missed in their flat.

I'd started working longer hours, not because I was avoiding anything but because I wanted to put in every ounce of myself into this show. My fellow cast members amazed me, they were all so supportive of each other and I didn't feel at all out of place. It's what I needed.

The press were on my back, hounding me about Liam and asking me to confirm our relationship. If it weren't for Lila telling them where to shove it, I wouldn't know what I would have done.

Louis finally called six days after he'd left me standing there on the dance floor. I was walking back to my car when his ringtone sounded. I didn't even know if I was up for answering it but of course my fingers had a mind of their own and there I was listening to his voice once again.

"Do you want to come over?" He asked sweetly on the other end.

Maybe I should have said no, but his question technically asked if I wanted to come, not if I should come.

Before I knew what I was doing, I was already standing outside of his apartment door, waiting for him to answer me.

He breathed out a sigh of relief when he noticed it was me at the door. "Harry's not home, I thought maybe he'd forgotten his keys." He explained as he briskly stepped out of the way.

I followed him inside, wandering what the rest of the evening would entail. He reached over to take my hand just seconds after the door slammed shut causing us both to jump unexpectedly.

"Do you want something to drink? We have everything..." He started to say, but I cut in before he managed to get past every.

"No. I don't want a drink." I told him harshly, my nerves were on high alert as they bounced off everything in the room.

"M'sorry."

I nodded. I already knew as much.

The silence was defeating as we stood there staring at each other, not wanting to move a single muscle between us.

"I am going to break it off with her." He whispered finally, looking into my eyes with is soul shattering ice blue gems.

I nodded, unable to speak.

"It's not working, and they can sue me but I'm not going to continue lying about who I want to be with."

I didn't know what to say, the clock chimed in the background and all I could do was look down at the hand that was still holding onto mine. "Okay." I whispered, causing him to smile.
