LOUIS'S POINT OF VIEW:
I wake up. One thing comes to mind: Aria. It seems like forever since we've seen each other in person. Only a couple days ago, we talked on a video-chat thing and she said good-bye. It still hurts. "Louis." Harry says. "Yeah?" I say. "Today is a break day. Are you sure you don't want to go outside?" Harry says. "I'm good." I answer. "Louis William Tomlinson, get up." Harry says. "Harold Edward Styles- shut up." I say. "Guys, he won't get up." Harry says. I hear footsteps and soon I'm being lifted. I open my eyes. "Guys, put me down." I say. "Okay." They say. They drop me and I hit the ground. "Ow. Guys, I meant like on a chair." I say. "Oh, sorry." They say. They help me up. I sit on the couch. Zayn brings me food. "Oh, thank-you." I say, starting to eat. I turn on the TV. Harry sits on one side of me. Niall sits on the other. Liam and Zayn sit on chairs around us. We're in a hotel for this city we're doing a concert at before the tour.
"So, we talked to the girls last night." Zayn says. "Mya's doing good." Harry says. "And so is Laura and their new friend Meg." Zayn says. I stare ahead at the TV. "And Aria, too." Liam says, saying her name quieter. "That's good. I'm happy for her." I say. "She thought that..." Harry says. "Yeah." I say. "Louis, you need to talk to her." Niall says. "Guys, it's over. She's moved on." I say. "Yeah, well she thinks the same about you." Liam says quietly. "Are you okay?" Zayn says. "Yeah." I say. "No you are not." Harry says. "Yes, I am Harold." I try to smile. The truth is, I'm not. "I think you're just saying yes to make us happy." Zayn says. "No." I say. "Come on, Lou. Get up. Be your happy self." Liam says. "How can I be happy?" I say. "I thought you said you were fine." Niall says. "I need some air." I say. I get up and walk out the room. I don't really care how I look right now.
I walk down the hall and turn to a door. I walk outside on a big cement balcony thing where the fire escape cuts through. I walk to the edge and look down at the busy streets. I run my hand along the cement railing thing. A tear runs down my face. I really messed things up with Aria. And I really miss her. "Lou," Someone says. I turn around. I turn back around when I see Liam. Aria was like his sister. I know he misses her too. And I hurt her, I'm sure he's mad at me. So, why is he trying to help me? I put my head against the wall. "Go away." I say. "No, Louis." He says. I wipe a few tears and turn around. I don't look at him. I start to walk by him but he stops me. "Louis, we all miss them. We miss her, too." He says. "But she's still your friends." I say. "She's yours too." He says. "She hates me." I say. "What would give you that idea?" He asks. "Because it's obvious. I ruined everything." I say.
"No you didn't." He says. "Ask Aria that question- you'll get a different answer." I say. "No, Lou." He says. I start walking towards the door. "I'm sorry, Liam." I say as I open the door and walk in. I walk down the hall. Zayn, Harry, and Niall stand outside of our door. "Louis, you okay?" Niall says. "Great, buddy." I smile. I knew Harry would be the one to figure out I'm lying. "Guys, why don't you check on Liam?" Harry says. Zayn and Niall nod and walk off. Harry and I walk in the room. "We already know you aren't okay." Harry says. "Yes." I say. "So, just tell us why. You're upset about Aria, is that it?" Harry asks. "Pretty much. Just, please. I don't want to talk about it." I say. I walk to my bedroom. I sit on my bed. Harry sits next to me and turns over a flipped picture on my table. It's a picture of Aria and me when we were with her. I was laughing and Aria was smiling this huge, cute smile while we held hands. He smiles.
"Aria's a great person." He says. "Yeah, and I let her down." I say, getting up and going to the window. He gets up and puts his hand on my shoulder. I turn around and I hug him. Harry's my best friend. We walk out, as I wipe a few tears coming down my face. I sit on the couch and watch TV. Harry gets on the computer while the rest of the boys walk in. Harry smiles with his earphones in. "What?" I say. I mute the TV. "Nothing." He says. "What?" Me and the rest of the boys ask, crowding around him. He takes out his headphones and we watch a video of Aria singing The Lost Get Found by Britt Nicole. I smile. Aria's amazing. I stand up and the boys stare at me. Harry stops the video. "You okay, Lou?" He asks. "I can't just sit around here. I'm sad, and I don't know if Aria is or not. But, I need to fix things. And I have a plan..." I say. Then I start to explain my great plan. I just hope it'll work.
