*Jacie's POV*

I walked down the street to the Starbucks Louis told me to meet him at today. At first I wasn't sure if I should even be talking to him, but I can't help it. I feel this magnetic pull towards him, It's weird.

Stepping in a few puddles on the sidewalk, I arrived at the small cafe. I walk inside and the sweet smell of pastries and coffee fills my nose. I walk up to the counter and order the usual. A tall double shot caramel mocha frappe, no whip.

I sit down at a small booth towards the back of the cafe, because the tables near the windows creep me out. Waiting for Louis to arrive, I take out my phone and check my twitter. I feel the table shake a little bit and I look up from my phone to see a lopsided grin.

"Well, hello there loser." I sarcastically greet Louis.

"Nice to see you too." He grumbles. "It's been awhile."

"Yeah, 3 years to be exact." I try to be delicate with the subject, but failing. I tuck a strand of loose hair behind my ear.

"You don't know how terrible I've been feeling since I hurt you. I'm terribly, terribly sorry. I don't know what I was thinking..I wasn't actually." He awkwardly tries to apologise, flailing his arms everywhere.

"Louis, I'm not mad at you." I honestly say, interrupting his speech.

"You aren't?" His eyebrows knitted in confusion. I shake my head and take a sip of my coffee.

"No. I'm just disappointed and a little hurt. But I'm not mad." His face drops and he looks guilty.

"I didn't mean to hurt you." His voice was barely audible, but I could understand.

"I know, but I can't control the pain." He looks down at his lap. "It still hurts, Louis."

"I'm sorry." He whimpers. A few moments of an awkward silence pass by and my drink is almost halfway gone.

"Why don't we talk about something else, yeah?" I try to end the awkwardness and make small talk.

"Sure." He agrees, sitting up straight. "How's your family." My heart drops. I haven't told him about this yet. I haven't told anyone. I've tried to shut it out for awhile. Louis notices my saddened expression. "What happened?" He looked concerned. " you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"No, no. I have to tell someone at some point." I pause and try to blink back the tears threatening to spill. "M-my dad. He-he.." I wipe my flustered cheeks and took a big breath. "A few months after you left, my mother was diagnosed with Cancer. Weeks later she passed away. We though she would be able to make it." Louis stayed quiet with a blank expression as I talked. "My father was never the same when she passed. He kept drinking and beating me and my sister. One day he came home really drunk." My voice cracked as I spoke. "He kept saying mum's death was our fault. He was threatening us. I tried to call the cops, but at the same time I couldn't. I mean, he's my dad. Mad man or not. I still ran to my room to find my phone so I could call the cops, when I heard a gun shot." Tears were spilling out like Niagara Falls now. "I rushed down the stairs and saw my sister's lifeless body collapse on the ground. Turns out, my father had a gun. He killed my sister, Louis!"

He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He was shocked.

"My father told me to never tell anyone or else he would kill me too. So, I ran away. I didn't have any money or any where to stay. A girl about my age found me on a park bench one night and offered to take me in. From that day we've been living together. Without her, I'd probably be dead." I explained the rest of the story. His eyes were blank and his state was cold.

"All of that happened when I left?" He unclenched his fists and softened his glare. "I was gone. When you needed me. I could have helped you. But I was selfish." He mumbled, mainly to himself. Disappointment washed over his features. "I'm sorry." He got up from his seat and quickly made his way outside. Great. I scared him off.
