Louis:

My child. Haylee is my only child, she's my first and last. The only girl I love right now. She's all that I have and I promise Desiree that she would have a great life.

The wedding plans are all cancelled. Today was supposed to be our wedding. April 15th. Lucky, the dog is still alive and actually looks sad probably because he couldn't find Desiree either. I made Desiree's room Haylee's. I didn't throw any of Des' things.

"It's Today!!!" a message lit up from my phone. It was an alarm. I forgot I set that up before.

I look at Haylee's cradle and she was still asleep, snuggled together with her blanket. I sigh at everything. I could've worn a suit today and Desiree would be with a lovely white dress. I could kiss her infront of the altar and remove her veil. We could slice the cake and have a dance. Say our wedding vows..

My phone started ringing and it almost woke Haylee up so I rushed towards her.

A couple weeks ago I was having a big breakdown and I decided to reset my whole phone. I wanted to start new and I just don't . I don't know so I resetted everything and transferred all the photos to a usb and memory card. Right now I don't know who is calling. I never received calls after I kept telling everyone to stop calling me.

"Hello?" I mumble

"Louis?" the voice was Zayn. It's been so long since I've talked to him.

"Zayn??"

"Uh.. Hi.... what's up?"

"Why'd you call?" I ask

"I dunno.. just wanted to check on you."

"Zayn," I sigh "You know what today is. You shouldn't have called."

"You're different..."

"Yes I am, Zayn. I changed. Isn't that good?"

"Probably.. but you seem so..."

"So...?"

"Distant lately."

"I'm not distant.. I'm busy. I-" I was cutted off by the sound of my doorbell. "Oh shit, hold on I need to get the door."

I rush downstairs to open the door before Haylee wakes up. If only Desiree was here, everything would be so much easier.

"Surprise!" I find Zayn, Niall, Liam, Harry and Marge at my door, yelling faintly.

"What are you doing here?" I frown, shutting my phone off.

"We're here to hang out with you." Marge shrugs "Whether you like us to be here or not, we'd stay here."

"I can call the police."

"Louis," Liam whines. They all come in and stay at the living room.

"Whatever. There is no food here. No drinks. No wine, beer, liquor. I got nothing."

"Louis, you can't live like that." Niall says seriously. Oh how does he know the pain.

"It's been five months since it happened. You gotta move on." Marge tells.

"You don't know how I feel. Don't say that."

"What about baby Haylee? She won't be well if you aren't either." Zayn says

"Guys please," I pause "My life is normal now. No problems. I have a child, a house, a job. Everything is great now."

"Doesn't seem like it.." Zayn mumbles.

I groan, "Alright, I'll go get you some drinks or whatever and watch a movie." I tell them and walked away to the kitchen, "Of course, Desiree loved those." I mumble to myself.
