“She’s chasing an answer, a sign lost in the abyss, this metropolis.”

Andy’s P.O.V.

It takes one more glance for me to realize that it is Louis, the man that I haven’t seen in over a year. I know I walked away from him and all boys, but a part of me wants to see him again.

For the past year, I’ve thrown myself into work, just focusing on that. And that’s great and all, but it’s lonely coming home to a large empty apartment. I don’t have many friends except Amber and she never really comes over.

I can still see the back of Louis’ head and I make a split second decision. I cross the street quickly, ignoring the cab drivers yelling at me in several different languages. Safely making it to the opposite sidewalk, I find Louis again and start to follow him. He heads down the street, not moving particularly fast, simply meandering his way around the city, window-shopping. I slow my pace so I stay about four people behind him, blending in with all the other businesspeople that rule New York City.   Louis pauses for a second and I freeze, causing two people to run into me.

“Watch where you’re going,” a man with an earpiece says gruffly.

“Sorry,” I apologize. “Wasn’t watching where I was going.”

“Clearly,” the man mutters and keeps walking.

I smile at him until he leaves and I scan the crowd for Louis. He’s gone. I momentarily panic, whipping my head back and forth until I can’t see him anymore. Where could have he gone? My exchange with the rude businessman only took about two seconds. I locate him about halfway down the block and almost dash after him.

Why I’m following Louis, I really have no idea. This man hurt my feelings. He made me seem weak at a club. Okay, maybe I wasn’t being the smartest girl there, picking a fight with a whore, but I could handle myself, and pain.

Beau had proven that.

I shake myself and scold my mind. When I start thinking about those dark times, I really need a distraction. Luckily, Louis is an excellent one. I follow him another two blocks until he stops and goes inside a building. I observe the building. It’s actually quite tall and impressive looking, even for New York. I wonder who owns that building. As I’m about to hail a cab, a flurry of photographers swarm me.

“Ms. Kirsche! What are you doing over here?”

“Hey, what’s going on with your company?”

“Is it true that you’re quitting?”

“Are you secretly dating anyone?”

I ignore them all, although the flashes being shoved into my face make it hard to see, but somehow I manage to flag down a taxi and climb into it before it got too nasty. I give the driver my address and he drove off without a complaint.

Louis is bugging me. That building bugs me. Somewhere deep inside me tells me there was something off about Louis, and I want to find out. When I get home, I pull out my laptop and Google that building. My eyes widen when I find out that it belongs to Simon Cowell, and it is a huge recording studio. What was Louis doing in a famous recording studio? Does he sing? Curiosity burning inside of me, I click a new search bar. I type in Louis, his first name, and wait for results to come up. The first one is Louis Vuitton. I click onto images and see that it’s just a handbag. The next thing to come up in the search bar is Louis Tomlinson. I click on that and pictures of Louis pop up. I gasp.

“He’s famous?” I mutter.

I go back to the web and read countless articles about him and four other boys in a band called One Direction. When I finally look at the clock in the corner, I’m surprised to see that it is past 1am and I am now an expert on One Direction and Louis Tomlinson.  I rub my eyes and click on one more article.

Elounor Over?

Reports have been coming in like a storm. Rumors are flying everywhere that Eleanor Calder and Louis Tomlinson, the “it” couple in the band One Direction besides Zayn and Perrie, have broken up. Sources close to both have said that the two have been having issues with the pressure of being in a long-distance relationship. Before we delve deeper into the details, let’s give some history on the couple.

Eleanor and Louis have been together forever, it seems, when in reality they’ve only been dating since 2012. Fans either quickly loved the relationship, or others thought it was just a beard for Tomlinson’s and fellow band mate Harry Styles’ relationship. As the two continued to date, however, more fans began to accept Eleanor, and even love her.

Now back to the present.

It’s 2015 and Eleanor and Louis are no longer together, both confirm. At first, both refused to comment, leading us and fans to believe that they were just on a break, but Tomlinson has confessed-

“’We were just fighting all the time,” Tomlinson says. “The pressure was getting to us. We couldn’t take it anymore’.”

But by the sad look on the pop star’s face, we wonder if it was really a mutual decision like both claim it was, or if Eleanor left Louis for another man. Stay tuned for more.

I exit the article in disgust. Even though the quotes were probably true, that was truly horrible writing. It made everything seem dramatic, which it probably was, but still…. Truly shoddy workmanship. I could write a better article. On another note, that article was from 2014, almost a year ago. That means when Louis met me, he was freshly broken up with his long time girlfriend, Eleanor Calder. Was I just… a rebound?

It doesn’t matter, I remind myself. After all, he was kind of mine.

This all doesn’t matter. So what if I saw Louis today? It’s not like we’re going to ever see each other again. We only had one kiss. It was a rebound.  I was in a really bad place a year ago. Just then, I think of all the things I was dealing with when I met Louis, and I feel my lip start to tremble. Beau…

I wonder where he is now.

I hope he’s dead. I truly do. He deserves to die. He hurt me in so many ways, and so many times. Even thinking about him makes me feel depressed and scared of being on my own. I run to my bedroom and lock the windows and doors, changing into comfortable clothes and crawling into my bed, cuddling a stuffed deer that Amber gave me. It’s late, and I have to work tomorrow, but I can’t fall asleep. I’m scared, and my mind is racing a mile a minute, searching my room. I turn my lights off and attempt to sleep, but it eludes me. This is what I get for delving into the past, which includes both Louis and Beau.

At least I got my answer.
