"Skyler!" I heard Grace come rushing down the stairs. She stopped when she saw me.

"Omg. You look like you've seen a ghost. I heard the door slam and I-" before she could finish I fell to the ground in tears. I missed his face so much and I just cracked. "Awe." She rushed over and held me up and I cried on her shoulder.

LOUIS' POV
I chased after her. Running and turning corners. My feet slapped the concrete as I ran, but she was faster. She turned and corner and I followed but she was gone. I hurriedly pulled out my phone and dialed Harrys number. "Harry I saw Skyler!" I didn't even give hi. Time to say hi.

"Whoa really?!"

"Yea! I bumped into her and I didn't recognize her fist but then I saw her necklace. She had blood red hair and tattoos!" I said. I was in panic mode.

"That sounds like the girl we saw this morning!"

"Harry I have to get her back." I could practically hear him smiling.

"Go for it lad."

That afternoon we released our album Made In The AM. One song was the most special to me. I hoped she would hear it somehow. Someway. It was for her. And if she didn't soon, I'd figure a way for her to hear it.

NIKKIS POV
For a few weeks I was staying with Niall in Cali while he had tour there and I couldn't tell her that they were here. I recently dropped my phone off the balcony at my house. Niall had the bright idea to come up behind me and scare me. Then it was bye bye phone. I've tried so hard to slip away from Niall and go see her but all he wants to do is have fun and wants me with him. I even told him I was going to meet my dad and have lunch but he didn't believe me.

SKYLERS POV
After a good cry for about an hour, Grace and I decided to eat ice cream and watch Grease when my phone rang. "Hello?" I asked into it.

"Hi, Skyler?"

"Yea."

"This is Shawn." I knew I recognized the voice! "Matthew gave me your number."

"Oh hey! What's up?"

"Nothing I was just wondering if you'd want to meet up later or something?"

"Shawn I-"

"Before you say anything, not as a date. As a friend. Matt told me about everything." I felt relief.

"Then yes. How bout we go to my work. I can show you things I've been working on."

"Sounds good. Food?"

"We can pick something up on the way."

"I'll be at your house in 5." I hung up the phone and handed my bowl of ice cream to Grace and slipped on my shoes.

"Where are you going?" Grace asked.

"To see Shawn. Not as a date just as friends."

"Well good luck."

Shawn and I arrived at the studio and on our way we got some food to eat while we were here. I used my key and unlocked the door and we went inside. "Come on to the back." We went into the big open room where I do my work. He laid out a blanket and set our food on it.

"Sesame chicken and steamed rice." He said pulling out a to go box. I raised my hand and giggled. He handed me the box and pulled out his. As we ate we laughed and joked. "What's that?" I looked at where he was pointing. It was an unfinished picture I was painting while at the lake. I stood up and covered it more with the cloth that rested on it.

"A picture I was inspired to do a long time ago." I sighed.

"Oh." He looked away.

"No no. Don't feel bad it's ok. I mean it's just not a big deal anymore."

After a while I started working on my sunset. "Hey Skyler." I turned around to face Shawn who was watching me. I accidentally forgot I had paint on my hands and I flung paint on his face.

"Oh my gosh." I giggled. "I'm so sorry."

"It's ok." He walked forward and dipped his hand in some of the paint and smeared it on my face. I gasped.

"Oh it's on." He smirked.

"Bring it on Williams." We started flinging paint and smearing it on each other. After a while I went to throw some paint at him and tripped over my own feet. I expected to hit the ground but I was caught. I opened my closed eyes to see a colored Shawn looking back at me.

"Ok ok. You win." I laughed as he helped me up. He threw his hands in the air.

"Yes!" I giggled.

"Let's get going." We packed up and I locked up and we headed down the street. As we walked paps attacked us. We both took off running as fast as we could. We rounded a corner and when we thought we lost them we turned to face a bigger problem.
