Louis’s POV

“Hey Harry!” I exclaim giving him a hug.

 “Hey Lou.” He responds coolly looking at the ground.

 “So what’d you want to talk about?” I say leading him to the couch to sit.

 “Victoria and I broke up.”

 “You what?” I exclaim acting surprised even though I already knew what happened.

 “Yep, and I’m happy. I can finally move on. I knew she wasn’t worth it the day of our first fight when she saw me kiss Taylor Swift on TV.” He announces loudly giving me a fake smirk. “I may ask Taylor out again. She’s pretty cool.”

 “Absolutely not. I will never allow it.” I say angrily slapping him on the shoulder.

 “Ow! What is wrong with you? You always agree with me!” he shouts pushing me aside.

 “I know, but not for this. You have to get Victoria back.” I state my opinion.

 “Are you kidding me? I just need a break from her. Is that a problem?”

 “Well… no I guess not. She’s just heartbroken.”

 “She wasn’t even crying when I left. She just rolled her eyes.” He mutters out.

 “Girls do that sometimes. They don’t want to show their emotions. They want to look strong in front of their boyfriends in a fight sometimes, but they’re really not.” I reply.

 “Eleanor just texted me a few minutes ago and told me Tori was crying in her arms.”

 “Oh so now you’re talking about me behind my back?” he asks getting angry. Shoot. Shouldn’t have told him that.

 “No, w-we are trying to look after you two.” I stutter out.

 “Goodbye Louis.” He shouts out walking to the door and leaving.

    Dang it, dang it, dang it. That didn’t go well. Eleanor isn’t going to be too happy about this. Poor Tori. I’m sure they will love each other again… one day.

Victoria’s POV

“Hey Tori are you feeling okay?" Eleanor asks me as she walks into my bedroom.

 “Um yea I guess.” I manage to say without tears filling my eyes.

 “Okay, just let me know if you need anything okay?”

 “Okay I will. Thanks for everything El. Thanks for being a great friend.” I say putting a small smile on my face while a tiny tear falls down my cheek.

       I lay in bed looking up at the ceiling, then at the clock on my night table. It’s 9:15 p.m. What happened today? I guess Harry wasn’t as great as I use to think he was. I really just want to go back home and cry into either my mother’s arms or at least Kate’s. I miss both of them so much. I pick up my iPhone and look closely at my lock screen’s picture. It’s one of Harry and I at my senior prom. I feel a tear slip down my cheek.  I quickly grab my phone and delete his number and change my wallpaper. That felt good to do but at the same time it hurt. I open Twitter and read some tweets. I slowly doze off.

 “Victoria! Tori! Are you awake?” I hear a sweet voice say. I open my eyes and see Eleanor holding a tray of food.

 “Good morning.” I slowly say in a sleepy voice.

 “I made you some pancakes. I brought it on a tray so you can eat in bed.”

 “Aw thanks El!” I say putting a big smile on my face. She’s so sweet.

 “So I was thinking maybe we could go shopping today?” She asks breaking the silence.

 “Um sure! I need to get out of bed and stop crying.” I say forcing a fake laugh.

 “Look, I understand how you feel. It’s okay to cry!” She replies giving me a smile, which made me start crying again.

 After about five minutes of me sobbing I decide to tell her I deleted Harry’s number.

 “So I deleted Harry’s number last night.” I say under my breath but loud enough so she can hear.

 “You did? Um uh that’s uh great!” she responds trying to smile. I could tell she was displeased with that decision   

“Yea. I already feel a little better! Let me get ready and we can leave.” I say feeling bad for what I did.

“Okay.”
