Kaia's POV 

How can something so good end so quickly? 

I've only known Louis for a few weeks and now it's going to come to an end. 

I really thought we were going to be able to be something more, that I finally found someone that liked me for me. 

"Kaia, you are scaring me. What happened?" Louis asks, as he sat down on the bench next to my chair in a small park we found while walking. 

I told him that I had some news and that it had to be said in person, because I knew it was going to be goodbye. 

"I'm moving." I couldn't even look at him. It just makes me so sad to think that I won't be seeing that beautiful face every once in a while. 

"No you are not. This is a joke right?" 

I shook my head and I heard him sigh. I felt his hand on my cheek making me turn around to look at him. 

"Why are you moving though? And when?" He asks. I had no choice this time but to look into his eyes and he was now sad. 

The last thing I wanted was to make him sad. 

"M-My mom hit me like 3 days ago and it was pretty bad... but I'm okay now." 

"Oh my God, what? How did that happen?" He was in shock. "I knew that she didn't love you as much but I wouldn't think that she would hit you." 

"I'm fine now, but she was drunk and she really does hate me Louis. No one can deny that now." 

"So you are moving because it's better that you stay away from your mom?" I nodded and he looks even sadder than before, because even he knows that it is the best option I've got. "If it keeps you safe then I guess we really don't have another choice." 

Sighing I nodded and I felt tears coming to my eyes. 

Why do I feel like I cry everyday? 

"Hey hey, but who said that you had to move to another city? Why don't you come live with me?" 

Well I wasn't expecting that. 

"L-Louis I don't think it's appropriate..." 

"Oh c'mon. I know that we've only known each other for a few weeks, but I really feel like I can trust you." 

"You've already saved my life, you don't have to do this too." 

"I don't but I want to. It's better than letting you go." Feeling my heart bitting faster by that sentence I couldn't help but have a small hope. 

"How are we even going to tell my dad this? I'm supposed to go in one week after my appointment at the doctor." 

"We'll go now to your house and I'll tell him. He doesn't even have to wait a week for you to move because you could easily just stay at my house and we could even come over to yours for you stuff tomorrow." 

"Louis this is too much, I really don't want you to-" 

"What part of I want to don't you understand? I like you Kaia and I know that we can trust each other enough." 

"Enough to live together? This is crazy-" 

"Exactly the reason we have to do it." He smiles at me and I saw his eyes shining with hope. How can I say no to him? 

"Are you completely sure?" 

"Absolutely." 

I smile at him and I couldn't help but smile even brighter. 

"Let's go tell your dad." I nodded and he stood up and we went back to my house. 

Hopefully my dad will agree that this might be a better option.

"Absolutely not." My dad said. "I know you've done a lot to my family Louis and I appreciate it but I can't trust you with my daughter yet." 

"Please sir, I promise she will stay in another room different from mine. My mom is always at home, we won't ever be alone in one place-" 

"I don't care. We haven't known you for that long for my daughter to live with you. It's a no. I've already told her aunt that she would go next week after her appointment." 

"Which is exactly why she should stay with me. She could live today and there won't be any harm done to her." 

"No." 

"D-dad please-" 

"I said no and that's final." 

I look at Louis and he looked at me with sad eyes. 

"Can we at least ask Aiden what he thinks?" I propose. 

"It won't change my answer." 

"I don't want to be so far away from you nor from Aiden, going to Louis' place would be the best option." 

"Don't test me Kaia. No is no. Now go and have fun this week before you move." 

I don't want to give up. I should have a say in this. 

It is my life after all and if I'm not even going to be living with my family then I should have a say where I live. 

"This is MY life dad. I should be able to have a say in this." He was taken aback by my tone, I've never spoken to him like this before. Louis was shock as well. "If you are going to kick me out from my home, or what it is supposed to be my home, at least I should have a say as to where I want to live." 

He was speechless for a moment and I really thought that he was going to be mad at me. But then he sighs in defeat. 

"Okay, let's make a deal." He said and both me and Louis paid close attention to him. "You can sleep in his house this week and we'll see if you are happy in there and if everything is okay. Aiden will go everyday at anytime this week to check up on you. If everything goes good, then you can stay there, if not you'll go to your aunt's house." 

I smile at him and nodded, feeling like my fait is changing. 

"Thank you thank you." I said and he came over to me to hug me. 

"Don't blow it, okay?" I nodded and he looked at me and Louis before letting us go. 

"I can't believe we did it." I said to Louis as we were going to his car to drive to his house. 

"Hopefully we won't blow it." He said and I just laugh and he laughed with me. 

"Of course we won't. What could go wrong?"
