"Ello?" my best friend, Monica, answered her phone in a groggy tone.

"Did I wake you?" I asked her.

She paused for a moment and then replied, "Shit! I over slept, again! My mum is gonna kill me if I don't straighten the house before she gets home from work."

I chuckled, "Calm down, M, I can come over and help you if you want."

"Nah, I can handle it. But, what did you need, kiddo?"

I took a deep breath and barely spoke as I told my friend something I should have told her a few days ago. "So...Louis is coming home."

"What?!" she shouted and I heard something crash on her side of the call.

"Tuesday, Johannah came into work and told me...she also invited me over for dinner tomorrow."

Monica spoke quickly, "Sutton, what are you going to do? You haven't spoken to Louis since he left and it might be awkward at dinner, but you still love him, yeah?"

"No! I don't have feelings for him anymore, Monica, you know that."

"Bullocks! I know you better than I know myself, Sutton, and I know that you are over the moon for this poor bloke!" she protested.

"Am not!" I denied.

She chuckled and I could hear the smirk on her face as she spoke, "Testy, eh, Sutton?"

"I called you for help!"

"Alright, don't twist your tits! I say go to dinner tomorrow and make Louis realize what he has been missing." Monica spoke.

I sighed and felt a lump in my throat. "How am I supposed to do that? I haven't really changed. I am still that stupid naive little girl who got their heart broken. He'll see right through me."

"Like hell he will. I will help you! Hoes before bros, right, Sutton?"

"Always." I barely spoke. My mind was racing and painful flashbacks filled my mind. Louis and I were so happy together, he was the first person that loved me as much as I loved him. But, when he left I knew that I couldn't hold him back. We never official ended what we had, but I stopped answering his calls, texts, letters, everything. I did not want to be the one thing that he had to worry about when he was starting a new life, a new adventure.

Monica interrupted my thoughts, "Did ya get that, Sutton? 3 o'clock tomorrow? I will bring in the big guns for this project."

"Sounds great, M. Thanks again." I said and then the line went dead.

I was lying on my back, staring up at the ceiling of my bedroom. I closed my eyes gently and tears started dancing down my cheeks.

"What's wrong, Birdie?" Louis spoke as he laid down next to me.

It had been a long day of packing for Louis, and reality had finally hit me. He was leaving tomorrow to tour with his band, and I had no clue when I would see him next.

I turned my head so I was looking at his concerned face. The tears burned my eyes as they continued to fall.

"I don't want you to go, Lou." I whispered, praying my voice did not crack.

He move in closer and then wrapped his arms around me tightly. "I want to go, Sutton, but I don't want to leave you here. You can come with me." he spoke, his lips pressed against my forehead.

I shook my head and replied, "I have to finish up school and my mum needs me here."

There was a long pause before he spoke again, "I'm not leaving for good, Birdie. I will always be your's. You know that, yeah?"

I did not respond.

"Sutton, look at me," I opened my eyes and looked into his, "I love you, and nothing will ever come between us. I promise."

His lips then crashed into mine causing a rush to run through my body, like it always did when I kissed Louis.

I opened my eyes and turned to see if Louis was next to me, but when I noticed the other side of my bed was empty I realized that Louis was not mine anymore and that everything has changed.
