Today was the day. Today I was going to speak to Millie. I hated how far apart we had grown and I wanted to be just as we were. She was my best friend and no one could replace her, not even louis.

Oh Louis ur making making me blush😐

See you in a bit x

Byeeee x

I was nervous. My heart was racing, I had no idea what i was going to say or what she was going to say. I just knew that i had to say something otherwise it might be too late. 

I got to the partridge's house. I opened the back door, she wasn't there. Louis peeped from the kitchen.

He shouted "wha-"

I covered his mouth and told him to be quiet.

He whispered "you're doing this now?!"

Y: "Yes."

L: "By today i thought you meant like tomorrow, maybe next week."

Y: "What why? When i say today i mean today."

L: "y/n you said that we were going to tell her and then 3 weeks later we sill hadn't told her."

Y: "yes well that was the old me."

L: "old you?" he laughed. 

Y: "yes. I'm a new me. No more secrets or lies."

L: "Okay? so do you know what you're gonna say?"

Y: "Uhhh...no"

L:"NO? May god be with you."

Y: "It will be fine."

L: "Are you sure because last time well lets just say it didn't go very well."

"Yes i know. I really have to do this."

"Okay well good luck."

He smiled and pulled me in, placing his lips on my forehead. I started to climb up the stairs to Millie's room. Thousands of thoughts were running through my brain. and i felt my heart racing faster. What was she going to say, do? I was scared but I had to do this.

 I reached Millie's room. No going back now.

I opened her door to see her face paralyzed with shock. She took one look at me and started to get up from her bed and walk away. I stopped her.

Y: "Millie please, 5 minutes."

She continued to walk to her bedroom door and I stopped her again.

Y:"5 minutes, I beg you."

M: "5 minutes that's it."

We both sat down on her bed, Millie didn't even look at me once she stared at the wall next to her.

I took a deep breath in.

Y: "I am so sorry for what I did. I should have told you sooner and i am so sorry that it hurt you, i never meant to hurt you. I was scared of what you might think and..."

She didn't look at me once. She was still angry and it frustrated me. My eyes started to glaze with water.

Y: "I love you and I always will love you, but being my best friend doesn't give you the right to tell me who I can and can't love."

She looked away from me and at her bedroom wall. A tear raced down my cheek.

Y: "It's like with Will what if you generally fell for him and i didn't like him around, what would you do then?

she sniffled between words.

M: "I guess I wouldn't see him anymore."

Y: "No you see? You shouldn't have to do that just because I don't like him."

M: "This is not the same thing as you and Louis, you know it's different. He's my fucking brother."

Y: "It is different because I have never felt this way about anyone before, not with Will, not with anybody. "

M:"What are you saying?"

I knew if i said these next words i could make things 100x worse but i needed to for her sake and mine. I couldn't hold it in for any longer. I poured out in a flood of uncontrollable tears.

"I'm saying that I love Louis and I am so sorry if that hurts you and I am so sorry that I lied to you before. I was wrong Millie but i'd be lying to you again if i didn't tell you that i loved him."

The room was silent, she sat there as i saw her quickly wipe her eyes.

M: "I love you y/n and i want to be happy for you but its just so hard. He's my brother...."

I looked down at my lap. What was she going to say next?

She finally turns to me, her cheeks were wet with tears.

M: "but.. if you really do love him.."

Y: "i do, i really do."

M: " i am willing to give it a try not for him but for you.£

I smiled uncontrollably. We both started to sob. I grabbed her and pulled her in. As we hugged, her arms were wrapped around me and I was squeezing so tight. I had missed her and my life would be nothing without her. I had finally now understood that you can't take your best friend for granted. Ever because without her i'd be lost. 

I pulled away from her still smiling and crying. 

Y: "Millie, I've got to ask you something."

She sniffled, "yes?"

Y: "Will you be my date to prom?"

M: "I thought you'd never ask."

We both laughed as we continued hugging, this was the first hug from her in months and I had never felt happier.
