32. That Shot

Eleanor

I scroll through my phone, tears coming to my eyes as I multi select every single photo including Louis and I together. The memories of us together haunt my brain as my finger questionably hovers over the delete button. I sigh, throwing my phone onto my bed and pushing my hair off my face in frustration; tears falling down my cheeks as I angrily push them away. I bet Louis isn't like this, isn't deciding whether to delete the memories or not, crying all day, a mess. I bet his out partying right now, out living it up.

Louis

I down the shot, my heart racing, my adreneline pumping,

"See?" Liam screams over the music, "I told you this would help you take your mind off El,"

At the mention of her name, everything inside me breaks, my whole heart shatters to pieces, my insides are grinded to mush. The girl I loved with all my heart, and I hurt her beyond words can describe. I made her feel like dirt. I called her out on the one thing I should have been there for her for, the one thing that I should have protected her from, and I used it as a way to insult her.Tears prickle my eyes as I try and get her out of my thoughts by downing shot after shot after shot. Soon, I have lost count of everyhting I have drunk and the room spins. I go to find Liam, but end up tripping,

"Woah there handsome, you have feet for a reason, to stay on them," a beautiful ebony skinned brunette steadies me, her right hand on my arm, cuping my bicep,

"You all good?" she questions, a small smile playing on her plump lips

"Sure," I mumble, my head still spinning slightly,

"There's this thing called counting your drinks sweetheart, you should try it," 

I nod,

"I'm Gabby," she smiles, her plump, thick lips spreading

"Louis," I mumble

"You good to go?" she questions, taking her hand off my arm, eyeing me up, watching me falter,

I shake my head, "Your number might help though,"

She laughs, her sweet tone ricocheting throughout the air, "Well if that's the only cure," she smiles, as I hand her my phone,

"I have to go, I might see you later," she smiles

"Hopefully," I smile, wobbling off onto the dance floor, aimlessly throwing my body around, too drunk to care what I'm doing,

"OH MY GAWD LEWIS" a squeaky, high pitched voice shrills through the air, bursting my eardrums,

"Nicole," I say, trying to sound enthusiastic but failing,

"O-M-G WHAT THE HELL FANCY SEEING YOU HERE HOW IS ELEANOR O-M-G," she screams, thought I think that's just her voice

"I don't know, we broke up yesterday," I mumble

"O-M-G SO SOZ BABES, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR NOSE YOU HAVE A PLASTER THING ON IT O-M-G," 

"I sprained it," 

"O-M-G HOW MY POOR BABES,"

"I fell,"

"O-M-G SILLY YOU FELL THAT'S AWFUL O-M-G,"

I trip over slightly, falling into her, my drunk veins too intoxicated to help me stand,

"LEWIS O-M-G," Nicole giggles, "ARE YOU LIKE DRUNK O-M-G BABES"

"Nicole, I have to-,"

"NO NO NO, LET ME HELP YOU BABY O-M-G," 

***

My eyes flicker open, my head pounding with a headache, "Fuck," I mumble, sitting up

My eyes flitter around my bedroom as I get up and pull on some pants, my brain crushing my skull. I get downstairs and open the blinds, squinting at the bright sunlight. A yawn escapes my lips as the doorbell rings. I walk towards it, opening the door to reveal the most beautiful human being God ever made standing before, chewing down on her lip, her hair messy and tied back, wearing sweats and a top with blood stains on the hip, a girl who is limping on her left leg, the girl who refuses to use crutches or a wheelchair because she's so stubborn and cute, the girl I want to grow old with. Eleanor Jane Calder.

"El," I whisper, my mouth slightly agape,

"I'm sorry Louis," she mumbles, tears filling her delicate brown eyes, her lip trembling

I pull her into my arms, embracing her warm body against mine, brushing my hands over her soft tied up hair,

"Don't you dare apologise Eleanor Calder, don't you dare, I was a dick and I am so, so, so sorry," I mumble against her hair, kissing her forehead repeatedly,

"I over reacted, I'm so sorry Louis," she sniffles

"LEWIS O-M-G YOU'RE UP, I DIDN'T HEAR YOU, I THOUGH WE COULD GO FOR ROUND THREE," a half naked Nicole screeches, walking in from the kitchen, a slice of toast in hand.

Her mouth drops open when she sees Eleanor, dropping the toast to the ground, "OH MY GAWD," she squeals

"What is this?" Eleanor demands, pushing me away from her, looking from me to the half naked Nicole standing in my living room eating toast,

"It's not what you think-" I begin,

"NO NO NO ELEANOR I AM SO SORRY I THOUGH YOU WERE OVER OR ELSE I NEVER WOULD HAVE SCREWED HIM O-M-G BABES," 

"Screwed...?" Eleanor questions, her voice cracking at the end as tears fall down her cheeks, her face crumpling,

"You fucking prick," she hisses at me, exiting the room, slamming the door behind her before I can object,

"What the fuck Nicole?!" I yell, turning to her,

"O-M-G LEWIS YOU TOLD ME YOU TWO WERE OVER FUCK YOU BABES O-M-G," she screeches, grabbing one of the coats off my coat rack and leaving my house

"Fuck," I mutter
