(A week later)
(AN/ For future reference, I just make this up as I go along so I apologise if the tour dates and magazine covers are wrong.)Cameras flashed in the distance. The fencing around the Coach Station was crammed with paps trying to get a new picture of Louis' new 'IT girl'. That was what they had labled her."Be safe, honey" Her mother told her as she grabbed her bags and cases from the back of the car, "Don't take any of they mad drugs or alcohol",
"Mum, I know. I'll visit every month for you to make sure" Vanessa promised, dropping them to the ground. She pulled up her chinos and zipped up her onesie before tightly hugging her little sister. "You be careful. Look after mum and James, alright?" Ness smiled, nearly crying. Tracy nodded before running back round to her side of the car out of sadness.
"Now, I've filled your bag with some magazines, the paper, some of that Vitamin Water stuff, some food; Wine Gums, Doritos and all that stuff you like." James smiled warmly at Vanessa who was getting watery eyed. Without saying anything, Nessa threw her rucksack over her shoulder and wrapped her arms around her mum and James.
"I'm going to miss you so much." Vanessa said as she kissed both their cheeks and looked into the back of the car at her sister, "Look after the boys. They're going to need fed and watered. I love you" She grinned, blowing her sister a kiss. Ness fished around in her pocket and handed her sister a blue envelope labled 'Louis and Boys'. "Next time you see them, give them it. Oh, and don't go in my room. Ever." Vanessa said whilst leaning over to kiss the top of her sisters head. James handed Vanessa her case and holdall and they all waved her goodbye. Her lips trembled as she took her seat up in the back corner of the practically empty coach. Two people from her school were there. There were five Scottish students scattered too.
Nessa couldn't look as her family waved her goodbye so she dug out the magazine her to-be-stepdad put in. Heat. Big red letters across the front made her heart collapse. 'LOUIS' BOARD OF VANESSA?'. Beneath was a picture of him and some brunette on top of a mountain in snowboarding gear. The full article was on page four and was spread across three pages. Nessa blinked away the tears and turned to the pages. One page was the pictures of her and Louis from her birthday party the week before, the pictures of when they kissed outside of Starbucks and one of them from the Grease Parody performance at school. The second page was an interview with him and the boys, talking about reuniting with his friend after such a while. The third page was pictures of him and this model, Eleanor, in France, Skiing and Snowboarding. Pictures of them at dinner with the boys and being awfully close at after-dinner drinks. She sobbed gently before her phone buzzed in her pocket.
Ness pulled it out to see Louis picture and an 'Answer' or 'Decline' button. She let it ring out and took the phone off silent.
She browsed tearfully through the interview about her. 'How far back do you go?'The interviewer had asked. It had been indicated that Louis laughed.
'Very far. Primary school, I think- I mean, my family is really friendly with hers and stuff-'
Shot me outta the sky,
You're my kryptonite,
You keep makin' me weak
Yeah ,frozen and can't breathe Her phone sang with a picture of Harry flash up. She answered reluctantly.
"Harry?"Nessa sniffed, folding the magazine over on the interview page.
"Hey! How's you?" He asked in a cheery tone. Vanessa shrugged and sighed.
"I'm alright. What about you? How's Europe?" She questioned.
"Really good! We posted our new video diary last night whilst you were in your 'ittle bittle beddybyes. Just talkin' about what the tours are like- Check them out!"Harry laughed. He was very very happy, "Then, we fly back tonight, tour Wales and then do America! LA mainly."
"Oh. Sounds very interesting." She replied in monotone.
"Ness? Where are you?" Harry asked.
"On the bus going to Cardiff. I'm going to University... Surprise!" Vanessa tried to make the best of the conversation.
"Good for you! What you going to do?" Harry chuckled. Ness shrugged again and kicked back into her uncomfortable seat.
"Art course-"
"Louis' asked me to ask you why you'll answer the phone to me but not him" Harry said with his softer tone. Vanessa didn't reply for a few seconds as she thought. "Hello? Ne- Nessa?" Harry asked, "Is it you or is it me with the reception?" Harry quizzed.
"Ok then, who's Eleanor?"Nessa sniffed, gently starting to silently sob again.
"Who?" Harry's voice shook a bit with nerves, "Elea-? I don't know."
"She's all over British Heat with you guys... You still don't know?" Vanessa said. She ground her back teeth together out of sadness.
"Liam? Did you shout me?"Harry asked to get out of the awkward situation, "Sorry, Nessa. Have to go-" He started.
"Harry Edward Styles! You listen to me!" She nearly shouted to him.
In Europe-
"Vanessa? What's the matter?" Louis asked after taking Harry's phone from him, "You're going to University?"
"You're going out with somebody else?" She asked in return. Louis sighed and slouched onto the couch infront of their Ski Lodge and looked into the fire as he heard Vanessa sob on the other side of the phone. "You send out so many mixed signals. One minute you want to go out with me, the next, you're skiing with some model- Are normal people not good enough for you?"Nessa cried, sniffing and sobbing.
"I'm sorry, Nessa. Me and Eleanor are just matey. As soon as I land, I'll come see you at Uni."
"Matey? You're all over Heat with her!" She sobbed. "Don't bother visiting, Louis! I don't want to get caught in the middle of you two. Enjoy being with your skinny, tall, tanned model! Us normal girls with develop anorexia to even be considered for your list!" Vanessa wept,
"V, come on-"Louis tried to get a word in edgeways but was drastically failing.
"NO! Goodbye, Louis. The two hours we had were amazing. Good luck for the future and that."Vanessa said almost silently before hanging up. Louis took the white phone away from his ear and sighed heavily.
"Bitches be crazy, Louis" Harry said as he fastened his suitcase as they all prepared to leave for the UK again, "No offence, Eleanor"He said at the tall brunette in the corner with legs up to there and a stick insects torso. She shook her head.
"Are we ready to go, Lou?" She asked in a gentle voice. Louis turned his head to look at her with a flat smile.
