I love Abbeys Booty... Um, jk I'm Strait.. Haha bye, awks!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Louis POV~

It's been three days since I left New York, and five since I seen Astrid last. We've been texting a lot! She seems to be doing alright, but I kind of miss her. She had to go back to school today, so I've been slacking off a bit.

I've been ignoring anybody else's calls. Even Eleanor. There has been a lot of news and rumors about my 'newest lady' as some would say. I grab my phone and dial Els number. I wait to actually call. Once I do, it rings only once.

"Hello?"

"Hi, um, you've been calling? Is there something you need or anything?" I try not to sound rude. It's hard not to, I'm trying to keep it cool without any emotions.

"Actually, I-I'd like to meet your newest friend.. She just a friend, right?"

"Well, I don't see how it matters, and-" Eleanor cuts me off.

"It does, I didn't break up with you! We are on a break!" She begins to sound upset, as from what I hear from her voice.

"El, I don't see how you can party with all of the males in Manchester! Can't I meet a single gal without you getting jealous?!" I begin to raise my voice, trying really hard to keep cool.

"Plus, you did take a break from me..."

"Whatever! I'm done! I'll be here in Manchester with 'every guy' if you need me!" She sobs a bit before she hangs up.

Calling her didn't put me in any better mood, if you couldn't tell. I decide to lay down in bed. I turn my phones music on to Ed Sheeran and The Fray. I lay there and sing along to Little Bird before I try and call Harry. It rings for what seems like forever. I try two more times, but he nevers answers. I leave him a message.

"Hey Harry. I just wanted to... See how you're doing. I guess I'll see you soon. Bye."

I can't help but feel alone. Like no one cares. Like no one could ever understand how lonely I am. Maybe I'm ugly? I don't know. Am I annoying? Is my singing terrible? How in the world am I in a band? I completely failed at life. I just keep thinking and I can't stop. The more I think, the more I worry. I close my eyes and picture Astrid. With her long, beautiful hair. She's keeping me from nasty thoughts. I like it. I like her. I start to get sleepy, very very sleepy. Suddenly, I'm dreaming.

~Harry's POV~

As I lay in bed, alone, watching another episode of spongebob, I hear my phone start to vibrate. I don't know who in the world could be calling at this hour, but I look. It turns out to be Lou. I drop the phone onto the bed and sit up. I go to grab it, but hesitate. I pick it up and it stops ringing.i lay my phone back on the table and I get out of bed. I walk up to the bathroom sink and turn the cold water on. I lean into the mirror while holding the counter. I can't really decide how I feel. Am I upset or angry or happy or... I'm just confused. It all pops. Right now, I'm confused, mixed with rage and sorrow. I'm feeling everything and my head starts to pound and my heart could beat through my chest at any given moment. Lou would just have to give the say so! I quickly splash the water in my face, before I work my self to high, and relax. I calmly walk out of the room, carful not to trip on anything, and lay back in my bed. It's not long before I hear someone open my door and a light shines into my eyes.

"Harry, is everything alright? I heard a noise."

"Um, I guess, mum. Yeah, everything's fine."

"Are you sure, darling? You can tell me anything." She sits down next to me and rubs my back. I sit up a little and burry my head into her neck and rap my arms around her.

"Mum, how do you know if you're in love for the first time?" I asked her, while she held me close to her.

"Harry, um." She hesitates. "Well, love is complicated. It can be a painful thing. But, when you're in love, and with the right gir-" I cut her off.

"That's the problem mum. What if it's not a girl?"

"Then it's no different. With the right... Person, you just know it." Her voice is a soft whisper. It's calming and it makes me want to tear up a little. She presses her lips upon my forehead and kisses me good night. She tells me she loves me with all her heart, but only after I tell her I love her first. She leaves to go back to her bed and I lay down. I slowly drift off to sleep.
