Eleanor's POV

After Dani left I decided to try and look nice for Louis, since the last time he saw me I looked like crap; and also because I feel really nervous about asking Louis tonight, so this will take my mind off it. I get out my high waisted black jeans and a black top with a white Peter Pan collar. I go into the bathroom and change, tucking the top into my jeans slightly, coming out and grabbing some block booty heels and slipping them on my feet. I re-do my make up, covering a little spot that has appeared on my forehead, and just applying my mascara again and a lippy. I fluff up my natural waves and just take a section, to back make a half-up-half-down look. I make sure to tease the section to create a little bump before securing it. I go down stairs and make myself a cup of tea. I am just about to put the milk in it when someone rings the doorbell. I walk over, leaving my tea in the kitchen and open the door, revealing Louis standing there in all black, looking amazingly sexy. I grin at him, and leave the door open for him to walk, while I go to finish putting my milk in. Louis hands wrap around my waist as I pour the tea in. He kisses my neck gently, making me giggle. I finish with the milk and put the lid on the carton, turning around to him and pecking his lips, my hands resting on his chest

"You look...." he trails off, looking me up and down, "Woah,"

"Good woah or bad woah?" I ask

"Sexy woah,"

I grin, "Black is a very sexy colour on you, Mr. Tomlinson," I remark, looking at him. He grins back at me, pulling me in for another kiss. I pull away after a minute and put the milk in the fridge, grabbing my tea and walking into the living room, Louis following, his hand around my hips. We sit on the couch, and I nuzzle into him. Maybe I don't have to ask him what he and Ed were talking about. Maybe I could ignore it, pretend I never heard anything, just stay like this, with Louis, forever. I sigh, knowing that's not an option. I sit up, resting on my knees looking at Louis. I take a deep breathe, biting my lip,

"What's up babe?" he asks me softly.

"Louis, I went to Asda the other day," I say anxiously, chewing down on my lip. 

He leans in, gently tugging my lip out from my teeth,

"Okay," he says, looking confused

"And I over-heard you and Ed talking," I whisper, trailing off

All colour leaving his face, his blue eyes bursting wide and his mouth open. 

"You...you heard us?" He asks. I nod, biting my lip. 

"Ellie...... Ellie, it may have started like that but it- it isn't like that anymore, I promise you."

My eyebrows knit. "Like what?" I question. 

"I know I pretended and I played with you and that was awful but it's not like that anymore, it was only like that for a while, but then I realized how much I liked you, and I know it was wrong, so so wrong to pretend to like you to get revenge but I-,"

"W.." I take a deep breathe, my eyes filling with tears, "What?"

"You heard us talking...?" Louis asks. 

I shake my head, my hair flying everywhere as tears streak my cheeks, "I heard you say that I didn't need to know and Ed saying I did, that's it" I sniffle, "DId you...did you pretend to like me to get into my pants?"

"No, no it's not like that!" Louis protests, edging closer to me, wiping away my tears. I slap his hand away, getting off the couch.

"Don't touch me, Don't you dare touch me," I sob, tears cascading down my cheeks, "You absolute prick, I thought you were different! The whole speech you gave me and the 'I'll always be there' bullshit, was just so you could get some?" I demand.
