The Hipsters and The Girl
Georgia
Alex’s POV
I walked out of the bus with Louis by my side and the rest of the band following. Louis slipped his hand into mine as we walked toward the building, the roar of the crowd was incredibly loud making everyone smile. When we go to the building, Paul opened the door for all of us and led us down to the stage. I looked up at the guys and saw them in awe.
“It’s huge!” Niall breathed out with a smile.
“Yea and you guys sold it out in minutes.” Paul looked proud of them when I looked at him. “Louis, there’s someone back there for you.”
I glanced to where Paul was pointing and saw nobody so I looked up at Louis. He seemed surprised but went with it, leaning down to kiss my cheek before he left. Niall took his spot next to me and draped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me into his side.
“Who do you think he’s going to see?” Liam’s voice was hushed as he talked to Zayn a few feet from me; they walked over to Paul with confused expressions. “Who’s here to see Louis?”
“Eleanor.” Paul said it flat out, making my jaw clench shut and my heart race.
Everyone seemed to look at me but I couldn’t focus on that, I had to try and hold it together. Niall let go of me completely to stand next to Liam while Harry walked over to me.
“Let’s go for a walk.” He offered, walking a little ahead of me and I followed knowing he was trying to help.
I crossed my arms over my chest as we walked, he led me up to the top of the seats and sat down before motioning for me to sit too. He turned toward me once I was seated and frowned.
“I know you’re mad that she’s here and I get why but you have to remember that he loves you.” Harry’s voice was soothing but I was still mad.
“I know he loves me, that’s not why I’m upset. She cheated and broke my best friends heart, she has no right to be here.” I shook my head and looked into his piercing green eyes.
“I get that, I’ve been mad at her since it all happened.” He sighed. “I know it’s different for you because you're in love with him but I understand being mad.”
I pulled my left knee up toward my chest while I looked at the curly haired boy next to me. He looked upset but I knew he was controlling it. I ran my fingers through my hair, playing with the ends while he stood up.
“I have an idea, come with me.” The smile on his face should have been a sign not to go but I went with him.
He held out his hand for me and I took it. We jogged down the stairs and walked past the rest of his band while they talked to Paul about tonight, we didn't stop to talk to them. I walked faster to be able to walk next to Harry, his longer legs made it hard for me. I finally reached up and touched his bicep and he slowed down with a smile. My hips swayed a little as we walked up the stairs to the stage; the view from there was scary, I’d never been in a building this big. Harry led me backstage to where Louis and Eleanor were talking. They were on separate couches facing each other; she had a look in her eyes that made me think she was flirting or wanted to get back with him. Harry leaned down to me while he touched my arm.
“He loves you, be nice.” He whispered as we walked into the room.
They both looked up at us; Eleanor didn't look happy to see me and Louis looked confused but okay. I stood by Harry’s side while he slipped his hands into his pockets.
“Hey El.” Harry was believable.
“Hey Harry. Alex.” Her voice made me clench my jaw.
“Hi Eleanor.” I had a fake smile on my face as I said it, when I looked at Louis he bit his bottom lip gently. “Hey.”
“Hey, where’re you guys going?” Louis asked looking at Harry who was resting his hands on the back of the empty chair.
“Looking for the medicine cabinet, I have a super bad headache.” I lied but I knew Harry hadn’t thought of a reason for us to be back here.
“Oh, are you okay?” Louis stood up quickly, showing his protective side.
“Yea, I just need some medicine.” I shrugged but he didn't give up, he walked over to me and stepped behind me.
I put my hair up in a lazy bun while he massaged my neck and shoulders, something he always did when I had a headache. He pressed a kiss to the back of my neck before moving to stand in front of me. Our eyes met and he smiled slightly, the little half smirk that I love before leaning down to kiss my forehead. He turned to look at Eleanor who was now standing up and watching us.
“I’m gonna go get her some medicine, was there anything else you needed to say?” Louis was acting sassy and it made me want to laugh but I didn't.
“No.” She crossed her arms over her chest and gave me a rude look. “After you get some medicine, can we talk?”
“Me?” I asked quietly.
“Yea.”
“Sure.” I shrugged and looked up at Louis who looked really confused. “I’ll be back as soon as we find some medicine.”
Louis’s POV
Harry and I were leaning against the wall in the nearest dressing room while Alex went to talk to Eleanor. We looked out of the room and decided they couldn’t see us so we stayed and watched as Alex sat down on the opposite end of the couch that Eleanor was already seated on. They both turned to face each other while the room was filled with awkward silence.
“So, you're the one he loved before me?” Eleanor was rude from the start; it could only get worse.
“I guess.” Alex shrugged as if she didn't know what to say.
“And you're the one who made him insecure?”
“No, I think you did a good job of that on your own.” Alex wasn't taking Eleanor’s b.s.
“Excuse me?” Eleanor looked pretty confused by Alex’s comeback.
“You were the one who cheated on him right?” Eleanor didn't comment so Alex nodded. “Didn't think I heard about that? Well, I did. So I said that you did a great job of filling him with insecurities and trust issues that I have to try and fix.”
“I didn't cheat, we were on a break when that happened.” Eleanor’s voice was shaky.
“I don’t believe that but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that he isn't your puppet that you can play with whenever you want, he is a man with feelings and opinions.” Alex sounded really mad.
“What do you even mean?”
“Let me make this simple, he isn't single or on a break so if I find out that you're flirting, gossiping or even planning to do either of those things, I will be there to put you back in your place. I promise you that.” Alex stood up and walked toward the exit.
“Did you just threaten me?” Eleanor stood up too while Alex turned around.
“Take it however you want, just remember that I never break a promise.” She turned to the door again and left through it.
Eleanor took a deep breath as a tear slipped from her eyes before picking up her purse. I was so surprised by what Alex had said that I didn't even try to move out of sight when Eleanor walked by but thankfully, Harry pulled me back.
