Chapter 27

In the picture ^ are Eleanor's parents played by Adam and Jackie Sandler.


We get home and of course as Rita said they won't be home tonight. "So did you want to go to dinner with me tonight or go home now?" I ask. "If it's okay with you I would like to go to the dinner." Brooklyn says. "Brooklyn of course it's fine." I say and smile.


"Now how should I go dressed?" Brooklyn asks. "We can go shopping." I say. "Waste time and get you a outfit." I say. "Okay." Brooklyn says. "My daughter is at the airport so we would have to pick her up." I say. "Fine with me." Brooklyn says. I raise my eyebrows and he smiles.


"Okay go get change into something casual." I say. Brooklyn nods and jogs to his room upstairs.


Minutes later he comes back down dressed in shorts and a white shirt. I nod and grab my keys. "Jake we will be going to the mall and picking up Julie. Make sure you pick up the boys at 5 pm sharp." I say to Jake. He nods and hands me my purse. I thank him before walking back to the car.


I toss Brooklyn my keys and he gives me a shock looked. "You don't know how to drive?" I ask. "Ya I do but I just never thought of driving your Audi." Brooklyn says. I shrug and get into the passenger seat.


Brooklyn hands grip the wheel that his knuckles turn pale. "Calm down Brooklyn, it's okay." I say. Brooklyn breathes in deep then pulls out the driveway. "Okay, you did fine now go to the airport." I say.


I turn to Brooklyn when we get onto the freeway. I smile at how nervous he is of crashing my car. "Brooklyn, please calm down. Nervousness is the reason why your like this." I say. He nods and calms down. Then he returns to his normal positive attitude.


When we get to the airport I immediately find Julie in the front with her bags. Brooklyn gets out and helps her with the bags. "Julie this is a family friend and my assistant Brooklyn." I say. "Brooklyn this is my daughter Julie." I add. They smile at each other and shake hands.


Julie gets in the back seat and Brooklyn keeps on driving having his serious face on again. I laugh and Brooklyn glares at me.


"Okay so we're going to the mall for the dinner tonight with the band." I say to Julie. "Oh okay." Julie says nodding. I smile and Brooklyn takes off to the mall.


Brooklyn parks the car and I grab my purse and phone. Brooklyn hands me the keys and I smile. "I'm guessing you don't want to drive it again?" I ask. "That nervousness has never accrued to me." Brooklyn says. I smile and shake my head.


We walk into a store for Julie since she wanted a maxi skirt to match her white crop top for the dinner. "So what did you want to get Brooklyn?" I ask him. "Um probably khakis." He says. I nod and we wait for Julie to finish choosing which skirt she wants to get.


When she finishes I pay and we leave.


We go to a store for Brooklyn and he gets what he wants which is just khakis. I pay for him since I don't want him wasting his own money for a pair of nice dinner khakis.


"Any shoes?" I ask. "Oh ya heels." Julie says. "Okay this way." I say and we walk towards this big store that is filled with heels.


Julie picks black booties and I pay for them and we leave. "Okay so we can get ready then go to dinner." I say. Brooklyn lets Julie sit in the front with me and I'm thankful for that.


When we get home I show Julie a bathroom she could get ready in which is next to Brooklyn's room. I walk to my room and take a quick shower.


I wear my navy blue sleeveless skater skirt, my nude pumps, and nude colored coat. I quickly touch up my makeup making sure it's okay.


I comb out my hair and leave it down in its natural straight hair. I smile at myself then walk downstairs.


Brooklyn is in the kitchen talking to Sofia and Eloise. "Well your here you didn't have to film?" I ask Eloise. "No I just said I was tired and needed some rest." Eloise says smiling innocent. I shake my head and smile. "Is Julie still in that bathroom?" I ask Brooklyn. He nods and I laugh. "That girl." I say.


"Where are you guys going?" Eloise asks. "Out to dinner with One Direction." I say. "Ooo fancy." Eloise says. "What about you?" I ask pointing to her fancy outfit. "A date." She says blushing.


"And who may that be?" I ask laughing. "Someone, a secret." She says smiling. I smile and Julie joins us in her outfit. "You look gorgeous." I say to Julie. She smiles and blushes before grabbing her clutch.


"Okay an hour and a half in that bathroom and I'm finally done." She says breathing heavily. I smile and grab my keys. "Okay tell me later about your date bye." I say to Eloise before walking outside with Julie and Brooklyn trailing behind me talking together.


When we get to the restaurant I'm suppose to meet Jake at when he picks up the boys we all check in for our reservations.


We have to wait for awhile which I don't mind since everyone seats me first due to money but being normal at the moment seems good to me.


I sit down on the bench outside with Brooklyn and Julie. "It's cold." Julie says pulling her jacket close to her. Brooklyn takes off his jacket and wraps it around Julie.


I smile to myself as they both smile at each other.


Jake pulls up in my car and outcome five boys with three girls which I'm guessing are the boys and their girlfriends.


Jake opens his door and looks at me. "They're crazy." He whispers to me. I laugh and look at him. "They're boys barley getting out their teen years Jake what do you expect?" I ask laughing. He shrugs and smiles at me before getting back into the car.


"Miss. Carmen." A lady calls out giving us a cue that we were going to be seated now. "Um boys right this way." I say and they follow me as I follow the lady leading us to our table.


When we get to our table the lady hands us all menus then leaves.


"I'm Liam this is Niall, Louis, Zayn, and Harry. This is my girlfriend Danielle, Zayn's fiancé Perrie, and Louis' girlfriend Eleanor." Liam says. Brooklyn chuckles and I smile. "I'm Eleanor Carmen this is my daughter Julie and my friend Brooklyn." I say. We exchange hugs and hand shaking then get seated.


Julie sits next to Brooklyn and Harry and I take a seat next to Brooklyn and Niall.


They waitress takes our drinks then leaves us of course to look at the menu. "So you guys will be staying in my house if that's alright." I say to them. "Oh yes of course that's fine." Liam says. I smile and keep scanning the menu before decided on spaghetti.


I place my menu and meet the eyes of someone I regret starring at. "Mom isn't that Jamie?" Julie asks leaning back in her chair to stare at me. "Sadly." I whisper. Perrie moves her head which blocks Jamie's view of starting at me and I'm thankful for her doing that at the moment. But something deep down in my body wishes for her to move the fuck away.


I look straight down to my palms that lay on my legs. "Jamie!" Julie calls out. I widen my eyes and turn my head to Niall. "Ex boyfriend?" He asks. "Yes." I say exhausted. "Crazy about him?" Niall asks. "Very." I say. Niall gives me a comforting smile and nods. "Been there before." He says nodding his head.


"Does it stop?" I ask Niall. "What?" He whispers to me. "The pain?" I ask. "It's here and there, try to keep your mind off of it." He says nodding.


Julie smiles as Jamie reaches the table with a girl. I widen my eyes. I was right. He was going to move on. "Look mom Jamie." Julie says. I look away and try to blink away the tears but they don't go away. "Mom what's wrong?" Julie asks standing up and walking towards me.


I put my elbows on the table and lay my face in my palms. "Mom?"
