"Good morning Lou!" I chirped as I walked into the kitchen, wrapping him into a full on hug.

"Good morning Julie? I never seen you so fully alert in the morning.. Your usually like Zayn and Perrie.. Dead."

"Aw well thanks Lou, that's what every girl wants to hear" I said sarcastically.

"Maybe I should tell Eleanor that"

"Speaking of them, do they know you're here?"

"Actually no, I just walked out.. Out of nowhere.."

"LOUIS!" I slapped his bare arm, because he was shirtless.. In my flat. "You're probably have them worried sick and Eleanor practically with a heart attack!"

"I know, I'll call her later tonight... they're probably out somewhere right now." "It'd be too early by tomorrow, here.. call them on my phone BUT on private.. i'm not ready for all of them to harass me yet" "Fine" He huffed and took the phone dialing a number.

"Hello?" Louis spoke.

"Yes, it's me"

"I know, i'm sorry okay?"

"I just needed to handle some things but i'll be home soon El, tell the boys too. I love you babe, please don't cry... i'll be home okay?"

"Alright, I love you too.. bye."

He ended the call handing back the phone and setting himself on the kitchen table just staring at the blank wall. I sat next to him, rubbing his back. He looked up at me and smiled, then looked back at nothing. There he is again, acting strange just like when he got here.

"What's wrong Lou?" I dared to ask.

"Eleanor's upset with me.. but she says she's glad I'm okay." He replied, keeping his gaze at nothing but the wall.

"Why did you leave Louis, there was no reason for you to leave them.."

"I'm just so tired Julie, I can't stop feeling this way... I can't pretend that everything's fine when it isn't.."

"Feeling like what?"

"Like i'm not good enough, like shit."

Third person POV:

Julie was concerned for Louis. Louis had feelings bottled up just like she had. Maybe something was wrong? Either way Julie wanted to help the grey-blue eyed boy. Louis grabbed a hold of her hand, carelessly stroking his hand with her fingers. Julie was the closest thing to him at the moment. Not that the boys weren't close to him, but he missed talking to Julie and he wanted her back. Louis didn't want to pressure her, so he'd take time for a little.

Back with Eleanor and the rest of the group, no one ever said a word. I mean what could they do now? Louis is out somewhere, Julie is somewhere in the states and Niall is roaming the streets of London with a crazy bitch and none of has a clue where he stays. Liam tried to cheer them up along with Alex leturing them that they should get up and walking around for a bit while they can. Everyone, mostly the boys, looked at Liam wide eyed. Was he encouraging them to have fun? How can they? They have to go back to work in a couple of days and theres only 3 out of 5 boys in One Direction at the moment. What would Simon think? The only things on all their minds was if things could go back to normal.

Julie tried to calm down the broken down Louis who was currently crying lifelessly on her lap. All she could do was stroke his hair and hope for him to get himself together to tell her what happened. Why was Louis crying?

It wasn't too long till Louis finally took his last sniffle and wiped his tears up. Louis smiled lightly and just looked down at his hands timidly. Julie who noticed his odd gesture, grabbed a cup of tea off the coffee table and handed it to Louis to calm him down. He took another sniffle and finally looked up. Julie stared at him, looking at his red eyes and stained cheeks. This was the side of Louis that broke her heart, a side she never wanted to see.

"Louis, tell me what's wrong?" Julie said, still staring at his current state.

"I'm not good enough Julie.." Louis sadly spoke out. "Everything is wrong.. I still love him."

"Who?"

"Harry.."

"You still love Harry?"

"He still loves me too.."

"No, he's with Alex. Your with Eleanor.."

Julie face fell at the thought of Louis still being sprung over something that happened two years ago. Harry loves Alex and she knows it. She sees them on tv all the time going to little cafes around the London area, you could tell they were all over each other and in love. Same goes for Louis, he was in love, but from the looks of it Julie noticed thay he still held on to the piece that belonged to his past that was broken.

"Louis, I don't think Harry loves you... In all honesty.." Julie softly spoke.

"But he does.. I know it."

"He loves Alex, he's with Alex... Alex is his love now and you need to go to your love and that's Eleanor.. "

The night sky fell and Louis went to bed early leaving a confused Julie alone. She was to, broken inside as well as Louis. She held on to a Broken Past, and that was Niall. She hate to admit that she missed Niall but where ever he was she figured he was doing better and that was away from her and their kids. He made it perfectly clear the day he never showed to their make up date.

Alex stayed up watching re runs of That 70's Show. She couldn't break the smile that was on her face, it used to be a show that her and Julie would watch every single night before bed. Her heart ached at the thought of not doing it anymore but she was glad that she was away from where all the things that made her not herself. Of course, Alex missed her best friend. They weren't talking but she missed the laughs they shared and whenever Julie was ready to talk so was she. Alex wasn't completely lonely, she had the group and her amazing boyfriend Harry. Harry loved Alex and Alex loved him just the same way. Harry couldn't be more happier, but at this moment that they were both watching That 70's show in bed cuddled up together, he couldn't get Louis out of his mind.

Where in the world has Louis gone of to?

Was the only thing running on Harry's mind as he held closely onto Alex as if she would dissolve into the air if he let go. Alex knew something was bothering Harry from the way he bit his lip and furrowed his eyebrows but Alex didn't bother asking knowing Harry was a closed doored person. Harry just stood silent and thought of the many places Louis could of gone off too. Harry knew the pain in his chest that he was feeling.

He's missing Louis.
