"Bailey, get your lazy butt out here! We're gonna be late!" My best friend Louis yelled.  

"Shut up, Lou! First period doesn't start for an hour! And I'm going to look like a hot mess because of your obsession with being early for everything!" I yelled.  

Maybe I should explain. My best friend was Louis Tomlinson. Yes, the Louis Tomlinson, but he wasn't famous then. We were 17 and seniors in high school, pre X-Factor. We met on the first day of kindergarten, and had been best friends since. Coincidentally, they moved in across the street from us a week before school started that year, we just hadn't had the chance to talk to them. But he and I walked to school together everyday. He was obsessed with not being late and always nagged me for taking too long.  

"Love you." I laughed to my dad as I walked out the door.  

"Love you too, Bay." He said sadly and I ran out to meet Louis.  

"Shit, Louis, and don't start anything about my language." I realized as I stopped randomly.  

"What's wrong?" Louis asked, genuinely concerned.  

"It's August 22nd." I whispered and his jaw dropped. 

"Oh my God, Bay. I'm sorry. Has it really been 12 years?" He gasped. Okay, maybe I need to explain some more. Exactly 1 week after kindergarten started, Louis and I were out playing in our yard, and my dad ran out.  

*Flashback* 

"Bailey, it's Mum." He panted. My mum had been in the hospital for a few months and I knew she was sick, but they always said she was going to be okay.  

"What's wrong, Daddy?" I asked, panicked.  

"She- She's gone, pumpkin." He broke down and slid down the side of the house.  

"What do you mean, 'she's gone'?" I gasped.  

"She passed away." He cried. Louis was shocked and I immediately hugged him. Though in kindergarten everyone was worried about cooties, Louis and I never worried about that. We were best friends from the day we met. I started crying and he walked me over to my dad.  

"They said she was going to be okay!" I cried.  

"Pumpkin, she had brain cancer. There's a very low survival rate with how late they caught it. There was basically no chance of her making it." He told me and I started bawling.  

"Dad, what's wrong?" My brother Duncan, 9 at the time, asked as he walked outside.  

"I'm gonna go, Bay. But come over at anytime if you want to. I'm sorry, Mr. Russell." Louis said quietly and hugged me before running back home. That was the day my entire life changed. 

*End Flashback* 

"It has been 12." I nodded and he hugged me.  

"I'm sorry, Bay. Tell you what. How about we have a movie night tonight? It's Friday and we don't have anything to do tomorrow." He asked and I nodded.  

"We're lucky we have all of our classes together. And we sit by each other because of our last names." He whispered and I agreed.  

"But first period starts in 45 minutes." He said, getting anxious.
