~ Niall's P.O.V. ~

Things are going pretty good with Allie. She's funny, beautiful, and one of the nicest people I've ever met. There's just one thing; she isn't Juli.

But I HAVE to get over her. She doesn't love me.

I called Allie to set up a date for tonight. I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend.

"Hey Allie, it's me. What are you doing tonight?"

She laughed. "I'm completely available."

"Do you want to meet me here? I want to take you out tonight."

Silence. "Uh, yeah, of course! What should I wear?" She asked.

"Just a dress should be fine." I replied

"Alright, I'll see you then. Bye babe."

I hung up and smiled to myself. This was just one step closer to forgetting about Juli.

~ Juli's P.O.V. ~

The phone rang three times before El picked up.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hey El! It's Juli-" I would have continued, but she cut me off.

"Oh my god, I haven't seen you in forever girl! How've you been?" She asked me eagerly.

"That was, actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Can I come over to your place?" I asked.

"Yeah, of course. I'm home all day, you can come whenever you want!" She said. One thing I loved about Eleanor was that she is always positive.

"I'll be over in a few. Bye El!"

"Bye!"

I put my phone back into my bag before starting up the car. I haven't seen Eleanor since highschool. We were really good friends, but then I went off to college and she started modeling and we didnt talk as much as we used to.

I pulled up to her flat and got out of my car. El must have seen me through her windows because as soon as I closed the car door, she came running out of her flat.

"Hey Juli!" She embraced me in a hug. "Come in, what did you need to talk about?"

"Well, remember my boyfriend from highschool, Carter Ford?" I said as I sat down on her couch.

"Yeah. I remember him really well. He was always asking for help on his English homework." She said, laughing.

"Well, two weeks ago, he proposed to me." I said, almost whispering.

"OH MY GOD! Juli, congratulations!" She picked up my hand, and examined it. "Where's the ring?" She asked, confused.

"I'm not marrying him. I left the ring on the kitchen table." I told her.

I explained everything. About Carter cheating on me, him never being home, and how now, I didn't have a place to stay. My parents died in a car wreck when I was seven, and I lived with my Grandma since then. But when I went to college, she moved to America, and I hardly ever talked to her. Carter and El were all I had left.

Well, I had Niall, but I completely ruined our relationship. He probably hates me now.

"Juli, I'm so sorry." She reached to me and hugged me. I couldn't hold it in any longer. The tears came out of my eyes like I was a fountain. "You can stay with me."

I pulled away from her hug. "No, Eleanor, I can't do that. I'll find my own place to stay."

"Juli, seriously, I would love it if you came to live with me. You're my oldest friend and I've really missed you."

"Are- are you sure it's ok?" I stuttered.

"I'm positive. I don't need all this room to myself!" She smiled, gesturing her hands to all of her apartment

"Alright! I'll go get my stuff out of the car!" I got off the couch and walked toward the front door. Eleanor beat me to it.

"I'll help you! I have an extra bed in storage that you can use." She told me. El was so excited about me moving in.

The next few hours we spent unpacking my stuff. El and I were actually having a really good time. It helped me get my mind off Carter.

~ Carter's P.O.V. ~

I just left Courtney's flat. Everytime I did it with Courtney just got better and better. Yeah, I know, I have done it with Juli lately, but Courtney, that girl is amazing.

I had to get home before Juli made me

dinner. I parked my car in the lot and ran upstairs. Putting the key into the slot, I turned it until I heard a click.

I opened the door and called for Juli. "Juli, I'm here. Sorry, I would have called but I forgot my phone.

There was no response. "Juli?" All the lights were off. "Alright Juli, you can come out now. Your joke isn't funny anymore."

Still, nothing.

I walked into the kitchen and there was my phone, on the table.

Next to it, was Juli's engagement ring along with a note. I picked it up and read her perfect handwriting.

Carter,

This ring doesn't look good on me. Maybe next time you should put a lock on your phone. It's over.

Juli.

Shit. I took the lock off my phone last night, and I was enough of an idiot to leave it here. With Juli.

I picked up the ring and put my fist around it. I chucked it against the wall, as I ran into the bedroom. Her closet was completely empty. She took all of her makeup and hair crap out of the bathroom. She was gone.

She's not getting away from me this easy. Juli Coachmen, I will find you.
