Take My Hand

Harry's POV

" I can't believe i let you drag me into this" i wined to louis

" what, you know i don't like being, alone i get too bored, plus eleanor said she has a really fit friend for you, but she's a challenge and we thought maybe a chase would be a good change for you." louis exclaimed

"okay, I see Eleanor but she's alone…," I said to Louis but he was already running towards her

"hey babe, I missed you," Louis told Eleanor, her cheeks turning a rosy pink. Louis gave Eleanor a quick peck on the lips, knowing she wasn't a big fan of PDA. El broke out in a huge grin.

Hey, El whats going on?," I told her while pulling her in a quick embrace.

Eleanor's phone chimed, and i adjusted the black beanie on my head, and the charcoal grey ray bans on my face. I wasn't in the mood to be spotted. It was inevitable though, because everyone knows that Louis and Eleanor are dating, and how else would Eleanor be cuddling with on campus? So once they have spotted Louis my curly mop of hair isn't hard to miss. It's not like i hated greeting our fans, i really did enjoy meeting them all. But today i was in a bit of a mood.

"Oh shit, Raquel isn't coming, I didn't tell her you were coming Harry, so she probably thought it would've been awkward, she hates being a third wheel," Eleanor told me, and i knew exactly how she felt. Eleanor responded to Raquel's text with a short one of her own.

I was in no mood to feel like I'm intruding on their date, even though Louis did this to me on many different accounts, but not recently. Since I've broken up with Olivia, Ive been a bit moody, our quick tour stint helped lift my spirits, but now since we've returned from Connecticut and New York City, I'm back to being a bit of a downer.

"well since we have the next 3- 4 days off and Cheshire is only about an hour away by train, maybe i'll go home to visit my family."

"okay you sure mate? do you just want to hang out with me and El?" Louis said with his mouth but I saw it in his eyes how much he was yearning to be alone with Eleanor.

" no , I'm good, enjoy your date yeah? "

"Thanks ill try i mean its hard with this one" Eleanor interjected, winking at Louis, Louis just pulled her down on the grass so that she was lying on top of him. They were too cute, feeling a bit awards i texted my mum, "hey mum!!! i miss you guess what your getting an early christmas present…"

i knew she would know that i wasn't truly that enthusiastic. She knows how heartbroken Olivia has left me. And so did Louis, he knew i had to go home and talk about my emotions with my mom, as he put it. Frankly he's just making me sound girly, and i knew he was joking, but he knows how emotional i really am.

I was so lost in my own mind that i didn't realize i was staring, " text us when you get home!' Eleanor told me her cheeks now a deep shade of red.

"Will do, i responded, and with that i walked away.

I walked to the train station, i knew i should've drove, I just hope i won't get recognized, by any crazed fans. I went up to the ticket booth, and bought a one - way ticket back home, to Cheshire. I lucked out, there was a train leaving in five minutes. I made my way down underground and put my headphones in. They were playing, " Yellow Submarine," by The Beatles. This song always instantly lifted my spirits. . I quickly walked over to the platform and waited patiently.

Raquel's POV

There i was in the salad bar, and as i looked around the room i quickly noticed him. Charlie. But he wasn't alone he was with a leggy brunette. I knew i was bound to bump into him like this, we did first meet on this very campus. But since the breakup i haven't been anywhere besides, work, class, home and El's, i guess this was the first time I've been semi- sociable in four months. I guess he must've felt me staring, and his gaze landed on me. I flipped my hair and wiped my eyes. Damn my nervous tick. He smirked, he knew about my tick, he loved the fact that he was making me nervous. My vision became clouded. "no not here," i murmured to myself. I wouldn't let him see me breakdown. I couldn't no i wouldn't show him i was weak. He knows hot strong i was, he wanted to break me and didn't stop until he did. I quickly ran out, knowing it wouldn't be long until my tears escaped the barricades that were my eyes. I pulled my phone out and texted El, that i decided to skip my afternoon class and i was heading home early. She would know that something happened, hopefully she would respect my space and call me later tonight once i recuperated. I looked at train times seeing there was a train leaving to london in approximately six minutes. I bought a ticket on my phone. I wiped my eyes, the tears started to make their trail from my eyes to the tip of my nose. My vision became really blurred now. I ran towards the station as fast as my legs would let me. I didn't want to miss this train. I scanned my ticket, and ran underground. I felt the familiar wind hit my face, and my brown hair being picked up by the surge of wind. Suddenly I felt empowered, i felt different, i felt a change. I pulled my headphones in, and without thinking anymore or dwelling on the past anymore, took a step on the train.
