*LOUIS' VIEW*

My hand is shaky while I try to dial her number. I throw my phone onto the chair. I can't do it, she'll never forgive me, not after what I have done to her. I left her, but I didn't want to. Management made me, they said that I shouldn't have a "lady friend" because that would ruin my "image". Like I give a damn. I just want my best friend back. I pick up the phone again and dial her number successfully. On the third ring she picks up.

"Hello?" She answers. I hold back my tears, her voice. I haven't heard it in so long. Of course I have listened to all the voice mails she's left me, but this is different.

"Thank god I found you." I say, relieved. I was about to say something more, but I hear a loud crash on the other end of the phone. Did she drop the phone? I could hear her panting like she was running out of air.

"Lex? Lennox are you there?" I ask her. I hear her pick up the phone and she's still breathing hard.

"Louis, is that you?" She asks. I can hear the worry in her voice.

"Yes, Lex. It's me." I say.

"Don't you dare call me that." She snaps, I step back a little even though she can't see me.

"Lennox I jus-" I start to say but she cuts me off.

"I told you not to call, I told you not to talk to me ever again. I don't want to speak to you. You're not my best friend anymore." She says. I can feel the pang in my heart. I understand that she doesn't want to speak to me for what I'd done, but she needs to know why I did it.

"Lennox I just need to talk to you, and explain." I say in a rush so she won't be able to interrupt me. There's some moments of silence before she speaks again.

"You have one minute, Tomlinson." She says and I can practically see her crossing her arms.

"I never didn't want to be friends with you anymore. It was management that made me not be friends with you. I swear that I didn't want to hurt you, you were my everything, and you still are if you will just understand that it wasn't me that didn't want to be friends with you. You'll always be my friend, I can't lose you, Lex." I say, taking my chances at calling her Lex.

"Apology not accepted. You don't know the pain you've put me through. Do you know how it feels, Louis? Do you? Cause I don't think you do. It's been three damn years, Louis. And now you call me up when I was just starting to get better and things were going my way expecting me to forgive you? I don't think I will ever accept your apology. It's not fair that you left me in that hell of a town and said you will never forget me and you will come back. Cause guess what? You didn't." I hear her say before the line goes dead.

I throw the phone down on the hard wood floor, and I hear a small crack. I curl up in a ball and wrap my arms around my legs. What am I going to do? "It's not fair that you left me in that hell of a town." I hear her voice echo in my mind. I crush my hands to my ears, I will get her back, I have to. All the things she said echo in my mind, I crush my hands to my ears even harder.

"Get them out of my head." I say screaming out in frustration. All the words she said, they're true. I promised I'd never leave her, I promised I would come back. And I guess I don't know how it feels to be in the kind of pain when someone so important leaves you. I've had the world at my feet while she hasn't has but a nickel to help her.

Something flickers into my mind, a plan. And a good plan at it too.

"Light bulb." I say smirking. I grab my phone off the floor and run out of the room. I race into the kitchen where everyone is eating and enjoying themselves while I have a serious matter at hand.

"You guys!" I yell at the top of my lungs, getting every ones attention.

"What, lad?" Asks Zayn and stops sipping his tea. I slide a chair over to the table and sit down.

"Remember that girl that I told you about?" I ask my eyes wide, trying to make them understand.

"Lennox?" Liam asks with his head tilted sideways, just like her.

"Yeah, well I think I have a plan on how to get her back." I say mischievously raising an eyebrow and smirking, telling them the plan.

*LENNOX'S VIEW*

I hate that feeling when you know you're going to cry. Your lips quiver, your heart pounds, your eyes sting. Your face tightens up and the tears start to fall. You can't stop them, no matter how hard you try. And it's not little tears that slide down your cheeks, it's big tears that make your eyes red and puffy, your face blotchy, and your body heave.

You can't stop the tears, and as you lie on your bed alone, you think what could you possibly do to stop the pain. Stop the suffering. Stop this, stop what you're going through. But there's nothing you can do, nothing you can say. It's the kind of pain that needs to be cried out, not talked out. And you know that you're hurting people you love, but you can't help it. And sometimes, you really don't care.

A soft knock at my door snaps me out of my thoughts. Callie comes in and is about to yell at me for not being in the car already before she sees my face. Her face looks stricken. She knows what happened, she's been waiting.

"He called, didn't he." She says calmly, though her eyes look like she could kill at any moment. I nod my head slowly and she comes over to wrap me in a hug, ignoring the soaked bed like I did.

"Do you want me to call House Of Bounce and tell them you're sick?" She asks. That would be good but Katy is having her birthday party today and she wanted me there to host it. Katy is my mum's old friend's daughter, I adore her like i would my own little sister. She's nine years old and has lung cancer.

"Katy is having her birthday party and I have to be there." I say, I know Callie understands. Shelby and Callie have only met Katy a couple of times, and they adore her completely. Who wouldn't adore her with her long brown hair and dark black eyes that have a little stars in them.

"Okay, then lets go, we have to go now if you don't want to be late." She says hopping up. "I'll be waiting in the car." She yells already half way down the stairs. I get up slowly and go back to the kitchen to where my phone and purse are where I left them before I had hung up and raced up the stairs.

I grab them and run out in the car. Callie hops in the drivers seat and me and Shelby have a stare down.

"I call shotgun!" Screams Shelby running to the front seat.

"Not fair!" I scream back running after her. God, I never noticed how long the driveway is. When I get to the end of the driveway where the car is waiting I'm leaning over panting, gosh I really need to work out more often. Shelby is already in the front smirking and jamming out to music. I sigh and hop in the back.

Then I remember something, I forgot to tell Louis my family is dead.

You likey? Sorry if it was short. I'm not very good at writing chapters that are long exactly. Anywhore, I think I'm gonna try to set up a schedule of when I'm going to update. It's going to be MONDAYS and THURSDAYS and if I don't post those days then I'm gonna post the day after that.

Much Love, Lizzie xx
