Before we go

I was all alone once again. All I have left is me myself and I. I roam the places I have been and none of them seem to bring me joy anymore. I walk to my best friends house, my only friends house. I always thought that having one friend that is always there for you is a lot better than having 6 billion friends that don't care. I walk up the steps and he was already outside.

"Lexy? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Laurence and then come over later?" I shake my head no.

"What happened this time?"

"He dumped me for not having any friends and hanging out with you too much." I stutter. I then feel a slow warm tear against my cheek.

"I'm sorry Lexy." He says.

"It's not your fault Tomlinson. I don't need anyone as long as I have you." I say and he smiles.

"Same here." I smile back and he looks into my eyes.

"What?"

"I was wondering, do you think I should go out for this?" He asks. He holds out a picture of the logo XFactor. I then realize that my uncle works for them.

"Yeah, you are an amazing singer, unlike me, you will kill those judges and you will always have me there for you. Even though I won't fully be there." I say and he smiles.

"Thanks." He says and I nod. We walk into the house and he sits down on his bed when we get to his room.

"How's your mom?" He asks.

"She's holding on, she doesn't want to give up the fight but it's getting harder and harder." I say.

"What does she have again?" He asks carefully.

"Lung cancer." I say while sitting down next to him with my legs folded over. I feel another tear fall down and I feel an arm around me. It was Louis. I look at him and I break down, I cry into his shoulder and he holds me and lets me cry. I cry for what feels like hours but it was just 40 minutes. I look at him again and he gives me a small smile.

"Louis why do you like me?" I ask.

"What?" He asks.

"Why do you like me? Why do you hang out with me? I'm to big of a disgrace. You don't have to be my friend because you feel bad." I say and he shakes his head

"you are perfect. I could never live without you. You're my best friend and you mean a lot to me." He says. I smile.

"We should get you packed if we are going to enter you into that contest." I say.

"Only if you tryout as well." He says.

"Why? I'm a horrible singer." I say.

"No your not. Pleassssseeeeee?" He begs.

"Fine." I say. My uncle won't be happy about this. I smile and drag his suit case out of his closet. We pack anything and everything he thought was important. He ended up with a suit case full of his crap and toys, the other with his clothes. I shake me head and Louis laughs. We go to my house and he helps me pack.

"Lou, you can't put clothes in a suit case like that. They will wrinkle and won't fit." I say and he sighs angrily. He dumps everything back out and I knelt down beside him and helped him fold the clothes.

"See now everything will fit."

"Are you questioning my packing skills?"

"Yes yes I am." I say and he sticks his tongue out at me. I return the favor and finish packing. I'm done a lot faster than when we packed for Louis.
