Louis' POV

I blame Ed. It was him, who said "Make her fall for you". It was him who gave me the idea, him who put the stupid idea into my head!

But its not Ed's fault. It's mine. Its my fault for being stupid enough to listen to him. Stupid enough to try and toy with her feelings, stupid enough that I'd tried to make her like me. Just stupid. And it all ended up back firing anyway. Because now, instead of Eleanor falling for me, I've fallen for her. The same girl I vowed I'd never have any positive emotions for, the girl that ripped my heart in two.

Yup. I was That Stupid.

And I realise that. That I was stupid, I mean. And I wish I could take it back, believe me, I do! But I can't. So I have to deal with it. Deal with it by winning Eleanor over.

But that went from seeming possible, to seeming impossible in a matter of minutes, as I walked to Starbucks, hoping to find Eleanor, as this is where she normally hangs out. But instead I saw her and that waiter kissing. And giggling. And smiling. And laughing. That's when it all seemed impossible. That exact moment. So I pretended I hadn't seen. I went up to the counter and got a drink. And walked out. Simples! Not simple, in fact. Because just as I was leaving, coincidentally so were Eleanor and Mr. Steal-My-Girlfriend even though she's not actually my girlfriend, but ye get the drift.

I kept walking, listening to their conversation as they walked behind me.

"What about your car?" That was Eleanor

"Its fine, your house is only a few minutes away" Mr. Steal-My-Girlfriend replies casually

Jesus! What a freaking stalker!

"Are you sure? I can walk home on my own its no pro-" Eleanor starts but is interrupted by Mr. Steal-My-Girlfriend

"Well since you insist," Mr. Steal-My-Girlfriend says bluntly

"What? Bu-" Eleanor starts but is again interrupted, very rudely might I add, by Mr. Steal-My-Girlfriend

"Text you late El" he says before I head his stupid heavy footsteps walking away.

It's possible.

I turn around and look at Eleanor who's facing the direction Mr. Steal-My-Girlfriend just walked in

"Not worth it" I say after she continues to stare at the route he's just taken

She whips around and rolls her eyes when she sees me, the pleasant, happy face now scowling and irritated. Great to know I have that effect on the girl I'm crushing on.

"What are you doing, Louis?" She asks wryly

"Just speaking my opinion" I say simply, shrugging

"Well piss off and go speak it somewhere else" she scowls

"Your just pissed off because little Mr. Steal-M-" I stop myself before I blurt out my nickname for the yob,

"Waiter guy jumped at the chance to leave"

"No he didn't" Eleanor insists

"You keep telling yourself that Ellie" I say "But one day your gonna have to realise that the right guy has been here all along, and that you didn't have to go searching for tossers"I say

"Why would I need to search for tossers?" Eleanor asks, smiling, but not in a nice way, "I have you"

And with those last three words, she stalks off, pushing past me in the process.

Status=Impossible
