Savannah's POV

Niall took a little longer saying goodbye to Kylie, and when he came out he looked broken. He looked so vulnerable, I've never seen him like this.

Liam and I exchanged a glance, and I knew he didn't know either. But all I know is that it's a heartbreaking thing to see Niall Horan cry.

He cried the whole way to the airport. Just silent tears, his back moving up and down with sobs. No one said anything to him, and he didn't say anything to anyone else.

KyMarsss My Best Frienddd<3: i just made the biggest mistake of my life.

Me: what happened? niall's been crying since he sat down in this car..

KyMarsss My Best Frienddd<3: i told him i couldn't do it. i thought i was getting better but im not.

Tears threatened to fall from my own eyes as I remembered what happened to Kylie after her last boyfriend. Everything just got to be too much. She became anorexic, and she made me swear that I would never tell anyone.

It killed me watching her hurt herself so badly. But she got better. I stayed with her every day in the summer and helped her gain the weight back.

When Niall came around, she was able to eat without me forcing her. She was happy, smiling all the time. She seemed healthier and I thought she was finally getting better. He was her motivation to stay alive. But now he's gone.

Without him, Kylie has no motivation.

People don't realize how serious anorexia can be. Simple words that people say due to their jealously can push someone over the edge.

Me: you'll get better. i'm still here, you know that.

KyMarsss My Best Frienddd<3: he told me he loved me.

Me: HOLY SHIT.

KyMarsss My Best Frienddd<3: i didn't say it back, but i do love him. but i cant put him through this.

Me: dont you think he deserves to know that?

KyMarsss My Best Frienddd<3: ill tell him. when he needs to know, ill tell him.

Kylie has this instinct, and she can tell when something's wrong. She knew her dad was going to die before he even left.

She knows her mom's not going to come back.

She knew Josh wasn't going to be a surviver. She never said it out loud, but she knew.

Josh was my twin brother. When we were 11, he got diagnosed with leukemia. He died when he was almost 13.

That kid was the strongest kid I knew. We were so close, and when he died, it felt like a part of me died with him.

That's why me and Kylie understand each other so well. Every bad thing that has happened has brought us so much closer.

Me: alright ky, ill be back in a little. love you!

Saying good bye to Liam was so hard. We just stood there, wrapped in each other's arms until the final boarding call for their plane.

I said good bye to each one of the boys.

"Take care of her, Sav. For me?" Niall had asked me.

"Of course," I replied, reassuringly. He kissed me on the cheek and they were off. It took everything I had not to run after Liam and beg him not to go.

But they needed to keep working, they needed to move on with their life. It was only three months.

While walking out of the airport, an unknown number called me.

"Hello, may I speak with Savannah Brower?" The woman on the other end spoke.

"This is she. How can I help you?" I asked, hoping this was what I thought it was.

"I'm just calling to inform you that you've landed a part in Ryan McCullen's new movie, 'The Summer Home'. You'll have the leading role of Taylor Acker. Production would be about three months long in Los Angeles. Would you like to take the job? I confirmed with your agent, and she thinks this would be a wonderful thing for you." YES. OH MY LORD JESUS YES.

"I'd love--" I stopped. What about Kylie? She needed me now more than ever. But she always said that she wanted me to have my big break.

"Is there a problem, Ms. Brower?" She woman on the other end questioned.

"Uh...n-no," I stuttered. "I'd love to take the job, thank you so much for calling." I answered, excitedly.

"That's great. Mr. McCullen's producers will fly you out tomorrow, and production will begin on Wednesday. Congratulations," The woman told me.

Me: Hey Li, have a good flight, babe. can you call me when you get this, i have big big news!:)
