***Carly's POV***

The guys and I walk into Joan's Pizza and all eyes were on us. I think this is a bad idea. I turn to walk back out the door, but Louis grabs my arm. He actually drags me to a table. Harry slides in the booth and Louis motions for me to slide in next to Harry. I do and Louis sits next to me. I know why he did this...so I won't run out the door. I look up and Niall is sitting across from me and he just gives me a small smile. I give him a small smile back and he glances back down at the menu. Suddenly Joan appears at our table.
    "Hello guys. Carly I haven't seen you here in a while."
    "Yeah, I have been a little busy." I give Joan a reassuring smile.
    "You missed your friends. They just left a couple minutes ago." Joan tells me. My smile fades and I have to look away. Joan clears her throat. "I'm guessing you want you're usual."
    "Yes." Niall answers for me with a wide grin. I snicker at him once Joan leaves to put our order in. Niall looks at me and he narrows his eyes. "What?"
    "You act like you want to make love to the pizza." I hear Harry chuckle beside me. Niall narrows his eyes at him.
    "Mate its true." Louis says through laughter.
    "I just really love the pizza." Niall confesses.
    "It's okay Niall. So do I." I say with a smile. Niall smiles at me and sticks his tongue at everyone else.
    "If Liam doesn't come back you can marry the pizza." Harry says. I have a sharp pain in my chest. Louis hits Harry over the head. "Ow!"
    "Why would you say such a thing?" Louis asks with a hint of anger in his voice.
    "Louis it's okay." I put my hand on Louis' arm to calm him down. Suddenly Joan comes back with the pizza. Right away Niall grabs a slice. I just watch them all eat while I just sit there and think about what Harry said. What if he is right? What if Liam doesn't come back?

***Liam's POV***

I am laying on my bed staring up at the ceiling. I'm just thinking about what I've done. Why did I leave? I should have stayed and dealt with it instead of running away from the problem. Mum told me to go back, but I won't move off this bed. I think about Carly all the time and really I'm not even mad anymore. I just can't go back. I told Louis to look after her and he promised he would. Louis gave me a long speech...and he's right. I should have never ran away from the problem. Suddenly a knock on the door brings me back to reality. I get up and walk to the door. I swing it open and freeze when I see who is at the door.
    "Hello Liam."
    "Danielle what are you doing here?" I ask shocked.
    "People told me you were back. Were you going to tell me you were home?"
    "I'm only back for-"Danielle interrupts me by moving past me and pulls on my arm to drag me to the bed. I pull my arm away and stare at her.
    "I know what happened." Danielle says with a smile.
    "How?"
    "It's a small world." Danielle keeps smiling.
    "Danielle you really need to go."
    "Why? Is she here?" Danielle asks with her smile fading.
    "No..." Danielle moves closer to me and presses her body to my chest. I close my eyes trying to get all the thoughts about this situation out of my head. Danielle puts her hand on my leg. I open my eyes and before she can touch me again I grab her hand. I look at her with disgust. "You need to leave."
    I let go of her hand and step away from her. Danielle looks at me with shock.
    "You don't love me anymore." I see Danielle's eyes get glassy.
    "No. I love Carly." Danielle turns on her heel and storms out of the room. Seconds later mum walks into the room with a smile.
    "How much did you hear?" I ask.
    "All of it." Mum is still smiling at me. "So are you going back?"
    "Yes, but first the guys have to come back here. We have unfinished business to take care of." Mum is still smiling while she leaves the room. I think I am smiling myself when I sit back on the bed. I'm going back.

***Carly's POV***

After the pizza we went back to the apartment and I crash on the couch. All four guys just look at me. I have been quiet the whole ride home and mainly the whole time during lunch. I close my eyes hoping they will just leave me alone, but I can feel four pair of eyes burning a hole in my face. I open my eyes and sit up and glare at them.
    "I'm really tired, so please just leave me alone." I snap at them. Niall and Zayn get the picture and they start walking back towards the door. Harry just narrows his eyes at me. Louis takes a step towards me.
    "Well bye to you too." Harry says through clenched teeth and storms out of the door with Niall and Zayn behind him.
    "Don't mind Harry. He will get over it. I just want to tell you that we are going back to London tomorrow." Louis says while he keeps his eyes on my face.
    "Oh..."
    "It's just to finish the last minute touches of our new album." Louis says thinking I will get mad that their leaving.
    "Okay. Well have fun with that." I turn away from him.
    "You know you can come."
    "What?" I ask hoping that I heard wrong.
    "I said you can come. I think Liam would love it if you came." Louis gives me a small smile.
    "I don't know Louis. We left things in a bad way."
    "Please, surprise him."
    "Okay, but if he acts like he doesn't want me there I'm leaving."
    "And I would gladly pay for your ticket home if that happens." Louis gives me a reassuring smile. Louis walks out the door and I sit there on the couch thinking what I just got myself into. Why did I agree? He wouldn't want me there. Would he?
