"The car should be here soon." Louis said to me as I stood beside him in the lobby and I nodded.

"You okay?" He asked after noticing my gloomy mood. "To be honest, I'm not..." I answered and the car pulled up.

"Cmon, let's talk about it in the car." Louis said as he put a protective arm around me and Preston opens the door for us.

"What's bugging you, kiddo?" Louis asked as soon as we got into the backseat and Preston started driving.

"I'm scared" I confessed.

"Scared? There's nothing to be scared of! We'll protect you. Iñigo will never touch you again, I promise." Louis said sincerely.

"I'm not completely scared of Iñigo. I'm scared of Liam.. He- he does things for me, things I'm not used to him doing because he used to hate me. Now I'm scared that I might fall. I might fall too deep, and he's going to leave soon." I explained and Louis nodded.

"Liam's my boy," Louis explained. "And I know he won't do that to you, he won't just leave you hanging." Louis continued.

He won't just leave me hanging.

The thought of Liam leaving pained my heart, but if ever that happens, I vow to myself that I'll let him go.

Even if it hurts.

If its meant to be, it will be.

I'll let fate do the action.

"I'm also scared of one more thing." I smiled. Louis leaned in closer as a sign that he's listening.

"My parents. I've been gone for awhile" I explained sheepishly.

"Oh right. About that, give me your phone." Louis commanded and I gave him my phone with a confused look on my face.

"Why though?" I asked and he just shushed me.

"Hello? Yes, is this Mrs. Perez? Yes, I would like to inform you that your daughter will be coming home from her school trip today! She was not in the hospital, don't worry not at all." Louis explained to my mother on the phone with a thumbs up. I facepalmed.

"School trip? But she doesn't have classes yet." My mother's stern voice was heard through the phone and where is was sitting.

"No you see, its a ... Before school trip where they learn about... Proper hygiene! Yes proper hygiene at its finest" Louis said and shook his shoulders. PROPER HYGIENE?!

"Okay. Just bring my daughter home please. I'm speaking with?"

"Mr. Tom-"

"Louis don't say your real name! My mom knows you!" I told Louis.

"Uh, Mr. Tom.. Tomlababo. Yes I'm Mr. Tomlababo" Louis said.

They talked on the phone for awhile before Louis finally hung up.

"Tomlababo? Really?" I asked with an amused face. "That's what I hear around here." Louis said and I just chuckled.

A few jokes and songs later, we finally arrived at my house.

"Stay safe, kiddo. We'll see you soon, I promise." Louis hugged me and I didn't want to let go.

"I want to stay with you guys." I said. He shook his head. "You can't but we want to but you can't. We'll see you soon okay? I promise." Louis said.

I nodded and he got into the car and soon drove away.

"Mom! I'm hoooome!" I said as I got into the house.

"Dianne honey in the kitchen!" Mom said as I walked slowly to the kitchen.

When I entered, I was greeted by two pair of arms hugging me.

"Mom, dad. I was just gone for days" I laughed and they weren't smiling.

"Yes, we missed you darling, but you're grounded. For a week. For not telling us where you were." Dad explained. I nodded in full understanding and was actually surprised that they weren't yelling at me right now.

"I'll see you!" I said as I went up to my room, and mom followed me suit.

"Want me to call up Iñigo sometime this week for some company? He can sleep over. Wait, why am I asking. Of course you'll say yes. I'll be back" Mom exited my room as fast as lightning.

Before I could even say no.

"MOM!" I said as I ran after her outside.

"Yes dear?" She answered.

"Don't call Iñigo please..we aren't in good terms now" I said.

"What why? You're the best of friends! What happened?" She asked. "Nothing just.. Please don't call him ever" I said.

"If you're not in good terms, then you both have to talk this out. I'll call him sometime this week. You have to fix things with him okay honey?" She hugged me and went downstairs.
