The new Eleanor
chapter 11
It has been a few days since the interview, when we got back to his house we had to turn around and leave for another One Direction thing and so he just dropped me off home. All I’ve done the last two days was work sleep and instagram.
I unlock my apartment door and drop everything as soon as I get in and go lay on the couch. Today I had a ten hour shift so I am dog tired. I lay there waiting for my breath to slow before I get up and go to the kitchen. I open the fridge to find nothing absolutely nothing, I mean I don’t even have ketchup. I sigh and close the door. I might have to go grocery shopping tomorrow. I slowly walk back to the couch and turn on the tv and lay back down on the couch for a little nap. I don’t know why but I have to have some sort of sound when I sleep in the living room. I lay there for a few minutes watching two and a half men before I finally feel my eyes get heavy and I fall asleep.
‘Who is she?! You ask. well her name is Eleanor phillips.’ I shoot up as soon as I hear the TV. WHAT?! I grab the remote and turn it up.
‘Eleanor Phillips is the mystery girl we have been seeing over the past two weeks with Niall Horan. We got reports from a close friend of Niall saying so.’ The remote falls out of my hand as I sit there with my mouth wide open.
‘She is 22 works at a bakery and looks like this.’ My profile picture from twitter pops up on the screen. ‘Frankly I don’t see why Niall is dating her, I would expect him with someone like Demi Lovato or Ellie Goulding not some nobody from London.’ I turn the TV off, I can’t stand to listen to it anymore. I lay back on the couch totally freaked out. ‘Why would she say that? Is there something wrong with me? Or the way I look?’ I feel a tear run down my cheek. I turn around so that my back is facing the TV and i’m faced towards the back of the couch. I continue to sob, as i hear my phone ring. I groan and get up to go get it out of my bag. I reach down into my bag and receive the phone, I look at it and see Nialls name flashing on the screen. I wipe my eyes quickly and answer.
Me: Hello?
Niall: Hey, are you ok?
Me: Why wouldn’t I be?
Niall: Did you see the thing on TV about us?
Me: Yea, how did they find out who I am?
Niall: I don’t know I already called the boys and they didn’t tell so who did?
Me: I don’t know
Niall: are you sure you’re ok?
Me: Yes I’m fine
Niall: I don’t believe you.
Me: Well I have to go soon I have to go to bed.
Niall: alright love see you soon.
*The phone dies
I sigh and sit back down on the couch. I open instagram and scroll through my feed. 5% of it was pictures of me, and a bunch of teenage girls saying ‘aww they are sooo cute I love them together!’ and stuff like that. I kept scrolling when I saw a photo shopped picture of me with my eyes crossed out and my skin green and my mouth x’ed out with red. Below it read ‘She’s such a fake, why is he dating her, she is your typical big city girl, with her blue eyes and brown hair ugg she disgust me! Seriously why cant he date people like me with red hair and freckles or girls who don’t look ‘Picture perfect?!? God I HATE HER!!’ I turn off my phone and cover my mouth as I sobbed. Someone knocks on my door, so I get up and wipe my face. I open it to find Niall. “Hey what are you doing here?” I ask as I let him in. “I told you I don’t believe you.” He leans in and kisses me. He pulls back with a confused look. “You’ve been crying?” I nod my head. He pulls me into a hug. I break down as soon as im in his arms “Why are they so hateful?!” I cry into his shoulder. “Its a mystery.” He picks me up and carries me to the bedroom. When we get in he lays me in the bed slowly, and he gets in next to me. He cuddles with me rubbing his thumb on my shoulder. He kisses my head and I slowly drift to sleep.
I wake up with with his arms still around me. I turn around to face him, he’s still sleeping. I look over him and see that its already 10:30. I kiss his lips softly trying to wake him up. No response. I do it one more time and this time his eyes are still closed but a smile forms on his face. I lean in about to kiss him again when his blue eyes pop open. I smile when I see his eyes they are just the most beautiful thing in the world. I smile and peck his lips before jumping out of bed and heading to the kitchen. I hear a THUD! and then some stomping then I see Niall turn the corner and slip again. I giggle at his clumsiness. I turn around and open the fridge. Nothing. His arms wrap around my waist and his chin sets itself on my shoulder. “Anything to eat?” I shake my head and shut the fridge. He releases his arms from my waist, and I turn to see him giving me a odd look. “What?” He continues giving me the look. “No food?, I’m taking you shopping. I can’t let you starve.” I snicker “I was going to go shopping today anyways.” “Mhmm. Go get ready.” He says playfully. ‘He does love his food.’ I walk to the bathroom and get into the shower. I quickly shower and then hop out. CRAP! i forgot to bring my clothes in with me. I wrap myself in the towel and run back to the bedroom trying not to slip on the wooden floor. I walk in and Niall is sitting on the bed. He looks up to me and immediately knows what’s up so he gets up and leaves the room. I get dressed into a pair of skinny jeans and a loose t-shirt with a beanie and my combat boots. I look at myself in the mirror and I like the way I look so I walk out to the main room where I find Niall sitting on the couch on his phone. We leave my apartment and head for his car.
I put on a pair of sunglasses as he drives away towards the grocery story. We pull up to Dillons and he parks near the back. ‘Why in the back?’ We get out and walk into the store. Niall puts his sunglasses on as we enter. I grab a cart and we start walking around. I grab some tomatoes and I feel I eyes on me. I turn to see some girls concentrating really hard and looking at me. I quickly turn around. Niall notices me and gives me a funny look. I look back at them and he understands. We get what we need and quickly and go to the check-out lines. I push the cart into the lane with the shortest line. Nialls eyes go wide and he quickly turns a magazine around. I shrug knowing what’s on the cover. We pull up to the cash register and put our things on the counter for the lady to scan. “Hi did you find everyth-” She stops mid sentence when she realizes who we are. “Did you find everything ok?” She says lookin down trying to concentrate on her scanning. I nod my head yes and wait for her to ring me up. She carefully scans my groceries and bags them. “Your total is 168.37.” I sigh and reach for my wallet when Niall hands her his credit card. I look up and give him a dirty look. “ You didn’t have to pay for my groceries.” He shakes his head. “I want to.” She hands back his card and puts the groceries back into a cart and follows us to the car. Niall opens the trunk and she puts them in. When she is done I thank her. “Excuse me? Are you Eleanor?” She asks shyly. “Yes.” I say giving her a soft smile. “Can I get a photo with you guys?” Niall nods and comes up next to her. “Here I will take your picture.” I say reaching for her phone. “No you should get into the picture with us.” Niall gestures for me to come over and I do so. She snaps a picture, and thanks us and walks back into the Dillons.
We get in and Niall looks over at my with a huge cheesy smile plastered on his face. “What?” He leans over and kisses my forehead. “Not everybody will like you, just think of the people who do.” I give him a little smile and nod. He drives back to the house and helps me carry in groceries.
We put away the groceries. “What are you in the mood for eating considering you made me go grocery shopping with you?” I say chuckling “Nothing special, anything really im just starving.” I laugh a little and grab some pasta and some spaghetti sauce, and start up the stove. I quickly make spaghetti and put it onto two plates. I bring the plate over to him, and he grins and grabs the fork. “Thank you, babe.” I nod and eat. We spend the rest of the day together just watching movies and talking, until he says he has to go home at around 10:00. I kiss him good-bye and he leaves. We are still on for friday at All Stars Sports where hopefully we will run into Louis.
