Aprils pov

I slowly opened my eyes and sat up. I stretched my arms out and realised that I wasn't in my room.

But then I remembered.

I was living with luke now, I looked around and saw that I was alone. I wondered where he was so I got up and walked out of the room.

I heard some sound coming from what I was guessing is the kitchen and opened the door and saw luke frying something. He turned around and smiled at me, "hope you like pancakes" he chuckled. "Love them" I nodded and sat down at the table and watched him cook.

Once he finished he placed a plate of pancakes infront of me, "thanks" I smiled. "That's okay, I'm just gonna have a shower now then" he said. "Um, can I use the phone in a minute?" I asked.

"Sure, its just in the hallway" he said then walked out of the room. I ate my breakfast and then washed up my plate and tidyed the kitchen up. I then walked down the hallway trying to find the phone. I walked up to it and picked it up, I dialed Niall's number up hoping that he would be awake even though it's like the middle of the night for him.

One ring.
Two rings.
Three rings.
Four rings.

Finally he picked up.

"Hello, April is that you?" He asked tiredly.

"Yeah, sorry did I wake you?" I asked worriedly.

"No, its okay, I couldn't sleep anyway, rose told me what had happened. Are you okay?" He asked quickly.

"Yeah I'm fine Niall, how are you?" I asked.

"Missing you" he replyed softly.

"I miss you to Niall, your my best mate" I sighed tears threatening to fall from my face.

"Hey, I love you so much but we're gonna see each other soon I promise!" He said and I couldn't help but let the tears fall. He was so sweet and this was making me miss him even more.

"I love you to Niall, I wish I could be with you" I sniffed.

"Don't you dare start crying, okay, your strong, you can do this, plus if you start crying we both know I'm gonna start crying" he laughed lightly.

I smiled through my tears, "that's very true" I laughed a little.

"I'm really sorry but I've gotta get some sleep,we'll talk soon though" he said reassuringly and I nodded forgetting we were on the phone for a second.

"Oh, okay" I said sadly, "miss you" I sighed.

"Miss you more" he said and hung up.

I stod there for a second frozen and wondered if Niall would forget about me. Would we really see each other again? Was he really missing me? Ever since my parents left me I had big trouble with trusting people even though Niall's my best friend I can't help thinking these horrible thoughts. It's stupid and I feel disgusted at myself for thinking about Niall in that way but I can't help it.

I thought about it for a second telling myself that Niall would never betray me like that and I need to pull myself together. I suddenly remembered that I might need to call Kelly so I dialled her number into the phone.

One ring.

She picked up.

"April? Love? Is that you? I've been so worried,I've been up all night" kellys tired voice came through.

"I'm fine, Mr hemmings is taking care of me, how are you?" I asked.

"I miss you lots, we all do" she sighed and I could he her welling up.

"Niall came round today" she said her voice 'cracking' as she broke down in tears.

"Please don't cry" I said my eyes welling up once more.

"He asked where you were" she said crying even loudly, "I felt horrible, he looked crushed! I'm a horrible mum sending you away like that!" She said, she was now crying louder than ever and I didn't know how to calm her down.

"Kelly please calm down, your the best mum ever!" I said trying not to sound like I was crying as well.

"I promise I'll come see you soon and rose, she said she needs to catch up with you and find out if they're are any hot boys in Australia" Kelly laughed through her tears and I did to, rose was just the greatest big sister I could've asked for.

"Well, I better leave you know, you've probably got loads of unpacking to do and getting used to your surroundings" Kelly sighed.

"Yeah" I said.

"Well, I love you and talk soon, I wanna know everything you get up to!" She said.

"You to" I said.

"Love you April" she sighed and I could feel her sadness.

"Love you to" I said and hung up.

I slowly put the phone down and tears clouded my vision. I slowly slumped down on the wall and curled up putting my head in my knees and sobbed.

"April?" Luke called far away but I didn't have any energy to reply.

"April?" He called again but this time alot closer.

"I'm here" I sniffed and he jogged over to me.

"April, what's the matter, are you okay?" He asked bending down so our eyes were looking into each others. "I'm fine" I sniffed, "I just miss them" I said which caused me to sob even louder.

Luke engolfed me in a hug and rubbed circles on my back, "I'm so sorry April" he whispered in my ear. "It's not your fault" I whispered back. He pulled apart slowly, "hey, I know something that might cheer you up" he smiled. I wiped my eyes and looked up at him, "what?" I asked. "Your gonna have to come with me" he smiled and I nodded. He helped me up and held my hand leading me up stairs,

(Shut up, you dirty minded people)

He led me down the hallway and opened the door, I walked in behind me. It was a fairly big room with a double bed, a wordrobe and a beautiful mirror and desk. I walked over to the window and there was an amazing veiw of the beach just behind the back garden.

"Wow, this is amazing" I said.

"Do you like it?" He asked and I nodded.

"Good cuz its your new room" he smiled.

"Really?" I asked in shock, this was the nicest and biggest room I have ever seen and its mine.

"Yeah, all yours and no one else's" he smiled.

I walked over to him and pulled him in for another hug, other people might of just settled for a smile or just a hearty hand shake but for some reason this felt normal. I felt more comfortable with luke than any other person in this moment in time, and although this made no sense to me at all I followed my instincts.

"Thank you" I mumbled.

He pulled me in closer, "its nothing" he said.

We pulled apart a moment later, "now do you need any help unpacking?" He asked. "Um, I don't think so" I shrugged. "Well, call me if you do, I'll just be in my room" he smiled and walked out.

I walked over to the window again and took in my surroundings. It still confused me how this all felt so normal and like I've done this or been here before. To me it makes no sense.

But it has to...

Somehow.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! She's remembering...I think.
When I was writing this chapter I was thinking about Maroon 5's payphone, anyone else? Just me? Okay.
Hugs and kisses.
Molly
