1:01pm

Eleanor is currently sitting on a swing in a local park in Northampton. Louise invited her over for a day out and to hang out with Louise's daughter, Darcy.

Eleanor couldn't help but smile whenever she hears giggles coming from Darcy, her running around the slide and getting chased by her mother, whom which is very exhausted from running around.

Eleanor noticed that Louise is holding a camera and started talking to it. As if she was talking to another person.

'Mummy is exhausted. Jesus Christ I'm so unfit'

Eleanor couldn't help but giggle at Louise on how she can relate on unfit she is herself. Louise suggested that they should go to a market down into the country side, which it also has a petting zoo. That got Darcy excited.

~~~

'Eleanor, I hit the jackpot!'

Eleanor turned to Louise with a confused look on her face.

'I've found the cheese. Look at all of these cheese'

Eleanor then looked at her with wide eyes. Looking all of the different varieties of cheese got her excited, and a strong crave for cheese.

Louise got her camera out and filmed the cheese that she's drooling over. Darcy, was also quite excited for cheese. But mostly to get attention from her mother.

'Mm I've found the jackpot of cheese. Mummy loves cheese, I'm definitely buying some for tonight. Winner winner chicken dinner, or should I say cheesy dinner.... Actually that doesn't sound very pleasing to have cheese for dinner'

~~~

7:05pm

Louise and Eleanor are both currently back at Louise's house, eating cheese and biscuits with Harry Potter in the background. Darcy suggested to watch Harry Potter, but soon fell asleep half way through the movie, so she is currently in bed.

'I could explode right now because I'm so full of cheese' Louise complained.
Eleanor giggled loudly and leaned over to grab some more cheese and a biscuit.

'You know, I sometimes wonder what your voice would sound like. I reckon it'll be soft and beautiful. Almost like when you go to France and a hot French guy speaks and you couldn't help but swoon over his voice. That's how I picture it... Not you as a French person, obviously' Louise giggled like mad whilst grabbing another slice of cheese.

Eleanor couldn't help but feel warm inside. She suddenly she trusted Louise and wanting to be her friend.

'Oh El, look at the time. We don't want to be late to get you to the train station... Grab some cheese to go'

Eleanor looked at the time and rushed off to gather her things and get into Louise's car, and off to the train station.

~~~

'El, we have to do this again soon. It's fun hanging out with you, and Darcy enjoyed your company, she quite likes you.... And she said you're very pretty'

Eleanor smiled and nodded at Louise, blushing over what Louise just said.
As they were driving, Eleanor started out of the window and glimpse at the town of Northampton, how the lights made it feel magical and historic.

'Oh shit I completely forgot that it's Dans birthday today, I need to send him a text to wish him happy birthday'

Louise pulled up at the car park of the train station and grabbed her phone, her thumb nails clicking against her phone screen indicating that she's typing something.

Eleanor suddenly felt a bit uneasy. Her hands started to shake slightly. She felt anxious all of the sudden. She turned to Louise and started at her.

'L-Louise...'

Louise snapped her head to look at Eleanor and a surprise and shocked face.

'You're a good friend...'

Louise couldn't hold back the tears that were suddenly forming in her eyes, she unbuckled her seat belt and pulled Eleanor in for a bone crushing hug. Eleanor was taken back from Louise's actions.

'Oh my god you don't know how much that means to me. But I can't believe you just spoke. Is this the first time you spoken since you first started being mute?'
She nodded her and smiled at Louise.

'Oh I'm so proud of you, Eleanor.... I wish this could've gone longer but you've got to go or else you'll miss your train back into London'
Eleanor gave her a quick hug and hopped out of the car. She gave Louise a wave goodbye and headed towards the train station.

8:18pm

Eleanor got home safely and is now snuggled up in a blanket in the living room with a cup of black tea in her hands, whilst a to program softly playing in the background.

She put her tea down on the coffee table in front of her and picked up her phone to check the time. She remembered what Louise had send back in the car that it was Dans birthday. She debated to send him a happy birthday text.

You'll annoying him with the rest of the happy birthday messages.

But it's rude not to send him a happy birthday text.

There's more people in his life that is more important than you. He won't even reply because he's so busy.

It's just one text. It'll be okay if he doesn't reply.

Fuck it.

She searched for Dans contact. Trying not to get confused with Daniel J Layton. She typed her message and stared at the message. Her thumb hovering over the 'send' button. She took a deep breath and pressed send. A ding went off saying her message has been sent.

To: Dan
Happy birthday
-Eleanor.

Hello.

Sorry that I didn't upload for like two weeks.
I was heavily procrastinating.

I've decided to (maybe) upload everyday. If I can, and if I remember. This will probs fail.

Also there's a video in the.... Thingy. I don't know what it's called. But the video is a vlog from Louise and Daniel J Layton. The video is mildly about this chapter... Well, where the setting is.
You don't have to watch the video but I would recommend it.

I'll see you in the next chapter.
