BAILEY'S POV

"Mum!" I yell, frantically running through my bedroom, searching through piles of clothes, books, and other random junk. "Have you seen my gray shirt?"

"Calm down Bailey, it's right here." My mum runs a hand through her short brown hair, streaked with gray. "Love, take a deep breath. Sarah will be here in 10 minutes, just relax until she arrives. It's going to be a long night." She kisses me on the top of my head, brushes a strand of my long brown hair behind my ear, and hands me my top. Then she turns and leaves to go help my twin sister Lila with something.

I pull the fabric over my head and survey myself in the floor-length mirror hanging on my wall. In my dark gray tank top, blue skinny jeans, and adorable gray high tops. I gotta say, I look ama-Zayn (A/N :D). I've added a touch of mascara and black eyeliner, which blends into my already-thick eyelashes, making my eyes pop. Finally I braided my thick hair into a gorgeous updo.

I know I should take Mum's advice, but I'm too busy freaking out. I can't believe it's happening. I get to go to a concert of the best band ever, and sit in the front row. Well, I guess I'm also nervous. Tonight, I'm going to see someone I haven't seen face-to-face in four years. My ex-best friend. Niall Horan.

Quickly, I walk over to my closet and pull out the cardboard box full of all the things I brought when we moved here, to London. My 14 years of memories in Ireland, the memories of Niall.

The first picture makes my eyes fill with tears. It shows Lila and I on our 13th birthday, grinning from ear to ear, our arms wrapped around Dad's shoulders. It was the day before he died, out on a boat on the lake, the day before I became deathly afraid of water.

I wipe my eyes. I can't be sad. Not tonight.

Bending over, I take the next picture out of the box. It's of me and Niall, when I was about 10. We are both laughing hysterically, and my smile is huge. I laugh. That picture perfectly sums up our friendship, and the memories we had together. Gently, I place both pictures back. I lean against the doorway, thinking back to the day we left Ireland.

(A/N When ever I do something in italics, it's a flashback. Pretty self explanatory, but I thought I'd clarify)

"Bailey, I'll miss you so much!" Niall looks at me, his green eyes brimming with tears.

"Nialler don't cry. I promise, I'll call you and text you, and email you, like every day." I wipe his tears with my hand.

"Bails, I promise, I will too. You'll always be my best friend. Always."

"I'll miss you Ni." I say, trying to hide my tears.

Niall sniffs and stands up straighter. "Check your number again, I want to make sure it's right."

I smile. I had just gotten a cell phone and Niall was scared that I had put the wrong number in his phone. I scan the number. "Yep, that's right."

"Bailey, we have to go!" Caleb, my other brother yells from the car. I turn around and realize that I'm the only one not in it yet. I give Niall one last hug, say goodbye, and jump into the van.

As we left, I never would have imagined that I wouldn't talk to Niall for the next four years. That he would forget about me, and all we did together.

BUZZZZ! My phone lights up, interrupting my memory. It's a text from Sarah, my best friend.
