"Kelly, get up" I heard Micheal's voice from across the room. I moaned and pulled the covers over my head, hoping that he would leave me alone. "Kelly! You forgot didn't you?" He asked me and I knew that he was probably crossing his arms because that's what he does when he's angry or impatient. 

"Forgot what?" I asked in a sleepy voice, the covers still pulled over me. "My mother's birthday lunch. Which just so happens to be today" He told me and I pulled the covers back down to look at him, seeing his arms crossed. I knew it. "That's today? I thought that was next week only" I said, stretching my arms over my head. 

"It was next week, last week when I told you about it. Your mother organized the whole thing remember? Now get up please we have to go!" He said and left the room. I dragged myself out of bed and into the shower to get ready. I knew Micheal had thought of everything because he always does. The gift and making sure that I get up. 

I finished getting ready and made my way downstairs. Micheal was already waiting for me in the car, he's just impatient like that. I walked outside, taking in my surroundings of Abbeydale. I've lived here all my life yet I still love it. It's my home. Micheal hooted, glaring at me from inside the car. I rolled my eyes before getting in the car. Micheal and I drove in a comfortable silence, across town to where my mother's house was. I try see her as often as possible but I work at Abbeydale Newspaper as the editor so I don't have a lot of time. 

"Kelly!" My mother yelled and come out of the house before I even had a chance to get out of the car. She looked so happy to see me and she had her arms out to give me a hug. I got out of the car and was immediately engulfed in my mother's arms as she squeezed me tight. "I've missed you, it feels like forever since I last saw you" My mother said, smiling brightly, even though I saw her a week ago. But I love her to bits. 

"Micheal dear, good to see you. Your mum is waiting for you inside" My mother said as she turned to Micheal. "Good to see you too Lila" He gave her a kiss on the cheek before going inside. 

"There's someone here to see you. Well, not particularly to see you but I'm sure he'd love to see you anyway" My mother said, turning back to me. I gave her a sceptical look before she led me inside to meet this someone. 

I said my hellos to all the guests here for Micheal's mother, Amelia's, birthday. They were all seated in the living room, talking amongst themselves with drinks in their hands. More than half of these people I have never seen in my life and I'm sure Micheal hasn't seen them either. Micheal was standing with his dad and some of his friends. He waved and smiled at me, I smiled back before following my mother into the kitchen and then I froze.

There he stood. The guy I had, or have, been in love with almost all my life so far. Looking as handsome as ever. 

He's back. 

Nathan Sykes. 

I stood in the doorway to the kitchen, frozen. I wanted to move, to turn back and get away. From him, from the house, but my legs wouldn't move. There were so many memories of us in this house and they were all coming back to me. He looked at me with those beautiful green eyes and I wanted to run into his arms. I wanted to be in his arms, warm and safe. I wanted him to kiss the top of my head like he always used to do. I wanted him to stroke my cheek and put the hair that had fallen to my face behind my ear. All the feelings I had for Nathan came back to me. 

"Kelly" He said. One simple word and I was all his again. 

But then I thought of Micheal and I mentally slapped myself. This is wrong. I haven't seen Nathan in so long and I can't feel this way about him. It's not fair to Micheal. I looked away from Nathan and down at my feet. He knew the effect he had on me, even all these years later. 

"You look good" He said. I wanted to say that he looked good too because he really did but I didn't. I was still in shock. But he didn't know how wrong he was in saying that. I wasn't good at all, and not just because Nathan is back. 

"What are you doing here?" I asked him but I wanted to take it back as soon as I said it because I know I sounded a little harsh. 

There were a few seconds of silence before he answered. "Your mum invited me" He said plainly, looking over at my mum who was leaning on the counter at the sink. My mum stepped forward and looked at me. "Nathan called me, asking how I was and saying that he's back in town. Visiting his mum and sister ofcourse. So I invited him, thought maybe you two would like to see each other" My mum explained. Nathan and my mum always had a good relationship, and I know she likes Nathan a whole lot more than she likes Micheal. 

But Nathan left. We starting drifting apart and then he left. He didn't even fight for me and I realized how angry I was at him. I never told my mother the whole story because I knew how much she liked Nathan and especially he and I together and I also knew that she probably wouldn't believe me anyway. Nobody did. Nathan was the saint that never did anything wrong. But he did. He hurt me whether he realizes it or not. 

"Well, I'm sure he'll be leaving again soon anyway. Like he always does" I said, with an angry edge to my voice and I knew my mother and Nathan sensed it. I pushed past Nathan to get to the back door of the kitchen so that I could leave. 

I walked outside, angry, confused and frustrated. I loved Micheal very much, but I'm in love with Nathan and I always have been. I reminded myself of what he did. He basically pushed me away and then left. I remember the fight like it was yesterday. 

*Three Years Ago*

"I don't get what you're going on about Kel" Nathan said as I stormed out of the house, angry. 

"You know exactly what I'm going on about Nathan because we have this fight all the time and nothing changes!" I said, sitting down on the chair on the balcony, putting my head in my hands. 

"I'm in a band Kelly! I'm busy, I don't have time for you and for this" He said, putting his hands out in frustration. 

"You said you would always make time" I said, on the verge of tears. 

"Well I can't anymore. We fight all the time now Kel. That is not a relationship" He said, sitting down on the chair next to me. 

"Maybe we shouldn't have a relationship then" I said, wanting to take the words back as soon as I had said them. But what Nathan said next hurt me the most. 

"Maybe we shouldn't. It hasn't worked for a while anyway" He said, with no emotion in his eyes at all. I sat looking at Nathan in silence for a few minutes, tears forming in my eyes. "Fine" I whispered before getting up and going back inside the house. I wanted Nathan to come inside and tell me he didn't mean it and that he wanted to be with me but he didn't so I grabbed my phone and keys before leaving. I wanted to go somwhere, anywhere, just for a bit of air to clear my head. Instead I sat in my car, a few blocks down, in silence with tears in my eyes. I thought things over and decided I was going to go back and tell Nathan that I was sorry. I didn' want him to go. I loved him with all my heart and I didn't want to lose him. 

But when I got back he was gone and so were all his things. At first I thought about how he got all of his things packed so quickly but that thought left my mind and I was left with all my other thoughts and questions. Why did he leave? Didn't he love me? Why didn't he fight for me? It was just a silly little fight we had right? I sat in the corner of the living room, tears rolling down my cheeks. 

I was absolutely heart broken. 

*End of Flashback* 

I wiped the tears away from my eyes. Nathan had hurt me yet I still loved him. Still love him. I'm just a fool. For ever loving him to begin with and still loving him now.
