~ Louis' POV ~

I never really had a relationship before Eleanor. But I'm starting to notice why everyone is saying she is so called 'possessive'. I never really thought that it was toxic until Harry showed me otherwise.

"Oh god. There she is. The evil witch of the west." Willow suddenly says.

"Hi LouLou!" I hear and I see Willow shudder.

"Hi El. How you doing?"

"Terrible. I had bought this purse online and it should've arrived yesterday but it got delayed so now I have to wait another two days." She whines.

I'm kinda used to her complaining about useless things but Willows expression is already telling me to get her the fuck out of here or she will make a purse out of El herself.

"I was about to go get something from my locker." I lie. "Are you walking with me?"

"Kay." She says shrugging. "Bye Willoww!" She says way too over friendly.

"What's it with her. She always gives me a death glare. Like she'd rather see me 6 feet under. Like I look better than." She says complaining about Will again.

I've learned to ignore them. But I'm pretty sure she had a point and Will would love to see her dead by now.

"Soo I was thinkingg..." she begins and I already know I probably have to clean my schedule just because she wants to do something. "My parents are having this dinner with my family this Friday and I want you to come with me. So wear a tux and please do something about your hair it looks horrible." She says and leaves immediately.

"When was it again?" I yell after her.

"Friday, 5 O'clock. Be there." She says.

"I can't."

"You what?"

"I can't. I uhm." Quick. Whats a good reason besides I had planned a date with Harry that night. My secret second relationship. The guy I'm cheating on you with. "I promised my mum to watch the twins. She finally was able to make plans with some of her old friends and I can't just say no all of a sudden. Sorry El."

"Well I don't really care do I? So you better fix that." I didn't even have a chance to say something before she walked off.

Great. Now how am I supposed to tell Harry I can't because she decided I was coming with her...


"Excited for Friday already?" Harry asks with a big smile.

"Not really." I groan back. Making his smile turn into a frown.

"What? Why not?" He sounds offended and I totally get that. I still haven't told him and don't really know how to tell him. But I guess now is the time to spill it.

"Because I can't Friday. Eleanor just told me I have to go to this family dinner. I don't even want to go but she just forced me. I'm so sorry Harry. I-"

"It's okay Lou, I get it." He cuts me off.

"But we made plans. I was excited and I don't want to disappoint you..."

"Lou. I told you. It's okay. I get you. Eleanor can be very pushy and I already know she didn't even listen to you. Thereby nobody said it was gonna be easy. All we can do is stay real and accept the fact that sometimes things will come in the way. But it doesn't mean we can't do it another day." He says hopeful. Making me calm down a bit again.

"She's your girlfriend remember? She goes first. I knew that when we started this. Just go and try to have fun. And don't look too good." He winks jokingly.

"What did I do to deserve you?"

"I should be the one asking that question Lou. I'm just trying to make this work. I wasn't planning on making problems that aren't there. I don't want to lose you." He says with that friendly smile of his. Showing the dimples I fell in love with.

"I wish I could tell you what my mind is saying." I say softly.

"And what may that be."

"Ohh just that I really hate you." I say sarcastically. But he seems to get my hint and smirks.

"I hate you even more Tommo." He gives me a little shove and we walk on to our next classes.

Thats when I get a text.

New code word?
"I hate you" means "I love you♥️"

I smile wide and notice my teacher watching.
"My mum needs to know something real quick. I need to explain her how to turn the power back on." I lie to miss Carter.

She knows about the fact that my mum is a single mum and thats the only way she'll ever have mercy on me. So she allows me to finish my text.

"I do hate you a lot than😉"
I send back before putting my phone away.

El would've never. Harry actually tries to stay together. Like he puts efford in it. He actually cares and is willing to make sacrifices. Eleanor really just uses me and I'm only starting to realize that now...
