-Chapter 24-

(Louis's POV)

Everything in the school gym was beautiful. Not one spot was missed, everything looked so...... enchanted.

"wow" Mackenzie said from beside me "it's beautiful"

"I've seen beautifuler" I said not taking my eyes of of her.

She looked at me "really? What?"

"you" I said

She looked down hiding her blush.

It was true, she looked amazing. She had her hair in a really pretty updoo, it was hard to explain, but if had a lot of braids, not to much make up, and a stunning blue dress.

She looked incredible.

We had gotten there a bit early, but I put my mask on so that no one would notice me.

It looked like a nice prom. It was probably going to be better then mine was.

I spotted the gang by the drink table, so I grabbed Kenzie's hand and we walked over there.

"hey" Ellie spoke first

I waved.

"Kenz whats wrong?" Miranda asked

She looked up "what? Oh, nothing im fine"

Lies

"no your not, youve got that look in your eyes that you have when your upset."

I knew it.

"look I'm fine okay, can we just have a good time?"

Well that was sure stern

-----

(Mackenzie's POV)

I wasnt having a good time, but I put on a fake smile so that no one would suspect a thing.

But EVERYONE was asking me if I was okay

I wasn't okay... I was completely broken inside, but I didn't let them know that.

----

(Louis's POV)

That smile was so fake.

She wasn't fooling anyone with it.

Why won't she tell me what's bothering her.

She said she would later.

So I waited. I waited until the night was over. Until we got back to her flat.

I gave the limo driver a tip and walked inside with her.

As soon as she shut the door, I asked her "tell me now."

She walked over to me and looked down

"when does it stop" she mumbled

"huh?" I asked confused

"when does it stop Louis?" she asked again a bit louder

"when does what stop?"

"the pain louis, when does the pain stop, when does it go way." she looked into my eyes, tears forming.

"what pain? What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about my mother louis."

"Kenz, please tell me a bit more, help me understand."

"my mom wasnt here for my first play, she wasnt here when i graduated elemetary school, or middle school. she wasn't here for prom, she won't be here for my graduation, she won't be here when I get maried, or have kids. Shes missing so much of my life." she said tears streaming down her face "when does the pain go away?! Louis, it hurts more and more and more everyday!" she screamed

I took her into my arms and set her down on the couch

"shhhhh" I pulled her closer to me trying to comfort her

I hated this.

I hated to see her like this.

She was broken into a million pieces, right in my arms.

"LOUIS WHEN DOES IT STOP?!"

"I don't think it ever really stops. On some days it may be easier. And some like these, alot harder. What's important is that you remember all of the good times you had."

"no! Louis you don't get it! I don't have ANY memories of her, just the day she died! I don't remember anything! Just what she looked like! That's it! I was to young to remember anything! And that's what hurts the most! Do you know how bad it feels not to remember the women who gave birth to you!?"

"no-

"no of course you don't! Well I'll give you a hint at was it feels like! It feels like there there is someone punching you in the stomach, over and over again! Like there is this giant hole in the middle of your heart rotting, it eating away the rest of your insides! It kills me! I feel like I'm dying! And I hate it! Why did god do this to me? I know everything happens for a reason, but what is that reason!?"

"maybe he wanted to make you stronger"

"maybe, but I still hate it! And you know what else I hate?"

I shook my head

She looked up at me.

"that people have it worse then me! Some people don't have a family, friends, shelter, money! And that kills me too! That people feel like I do, and some worse!"

I nodded, she was right. We should all take this into consideration. We shouldn't complain about what we don't have, but enjoy what we do have.

You know know what you have until you loose it.

And it's quite true!

"I know." I said

She kept sobbing into my shirt, but I laid down and placed her head on my chest, she sobbed into it for hours. Until she went to sleep.

I decided to sleep too, so I closed my eyes and held her close to me

I fell asleep

With her in my arms.

Just me and Kenzie.
