Promises {A Louis Tomlinson Fanfic}

Promises: 2

LEXI'S P.O.V

Ohmigod. Ohmigod. Ohmigod. Ohmi-

"Umm, love? Are you okay? 'Cause, you're crying and all, so . . ." Louis trailed off awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.

Ohmigod. Ohmigod. He was back. It took me quite a few long years to get over the empty space in my heart, the space that used to be occupied by the stupid, adorable, horrible, hot, annoying, loving boy standing in front of me. He didn't even recognize me. Then I realized exactly what was going on in front of me. One Direction was the boy band recording the credits song. Meaning I was going to be working with them. Seeing them. A lot. Seeing Louis a lot. Oh no. Nononono. My heart couldn't handle this, I can't do it. I was still fragile. So I did the only thing that any girl in my place would have done. I ran.

Right. Left. Right. Straight. Right. Right. Straight. Left. Floor. I collapsed down onto the tiled floor, my body shaking with sobs. He was back. He didn't remember me. No, he didn't recognize the girl that he once said he loved. My fingers subconsciously crawled up to my neck where a silver chain dangled. At the bottom of the chain was locket in the shape of a heart. The infinity sign was engraved on the front. My fingers found the clasp in the back and unhooked the necklace from my neck. The tears had reduced to a steady quiet flow of water streaming down my cheeks. I shakily opened the locket. On one side was a picture of Louis and I kissing from a few years back. The word forever was written on the picture right below our connected lips. I recognized it as Louis' handwriting. On the other side was a picture of Louis giving me a piggy back ride during the summer. We both looked so happy.

I closed the locket as hard as I could and flung it across the hallway. It hit the wall and slid to the floor. I slumped against the wall. The tears had stopped coming. I don't think there were any left to leave my eyes anyway. I looked around, only just realizing that I had no idea where I was in this big white building. I sighed and closed my eyes, and, without intending to, I fell asleep.

LOUIS' P.O.V

The boys and I just stood there awkwardly. The actress girl, Lexi, just ran out of the room, tears streaming down her face. I had no idea why. She seemed perfectly fine as she met the other lads. But when I introduced myself, bam. She was suddenly a human waterfall. There was something in her eyes, though. Anger? Despair? Love?

The manager cleared his throat. "Carol? Do you mind going to look-" The woman he addressed was already out the door before he could finish his sentence. From the way she dashed out of here, I'm guessing that she and Lexi were good friends. Either that, or the manager was one of those bosses that all the employees were scared of. I'm going to go with the first option.

"Is there anything the boys and I can do?" Liam asked, always being the first to take charge of the situation. Smart boy.

"Ehm, uh, sure, that'd be, uh, great." I don't think the manager was accustomed to dealing with run away crying actresses.

Liam sighed. "Lads, lets split up. Niall, Zayn and I will go this direction," he pointed left, "While you and Harry can go that way." He pointed towards the right. What? He was splitting us up into two different directions? Clearly, Liam does not understand the concept of being One Direction.

I grinned. "Okay Lili!" Liam rolled his eyes at his nickname. I grabbed Harry and dragged him out of the room and turned right, beginning our hunt for the missing actress.

That girl, Lexi, she sure could run. We've been looking everywhere for forever, and still haven't found her. I swear, this place was more of a maze than an office building. Harry and I turned left. I could faintly make out a slumped shape on the floor. Finally. We found her. I ran over. She seemed to be sleeping. Odd place to sleep. I would think she would use a bed . . . I shrugged, picking the 18 year old actress up off the floor. Wow. She was lighter than I thought she'd be.
