I woke up to car doors outside the house. I put shorts on and went outside to see the boys. I started to cry and ran to Mikey. I jumped on him and hugged him to death. "There's my little sis!" He said hugging me. "I missed you!" I said getting down. "I missed you too- wow did you get tall!" He said looking me up and down. "Yeah I went up another shoe size!" I said laughing. "What day is it?" I asked him. "Uhh May 18th?" He said looking at his phone. "Oh my god it's my birthday and I totally forgot!" I screamed. Ashton and Cal engulfed me in a hug. "Look at the birthday girl!" Calum screamed. "I see you went up another shoe size!" Ashton said giggling. "Anndd oh my god your hair is fabulous!" Michael screamed messing with it. "Yeah I know!" I said fixing it. "Hey where's Luke?" I asked looking around. "He's still in America with Arzaylea. He's spending about 4-5 more years there living with her and then coming back." Cal said awkwardly.  "Oh" was all I could say.

*5 years later*
Mikey, Angelina, Cal, Ash, and I all bought a house together. The boys said they had a friend coming over so I said I'd clean up. When I was finished there was a knock on the door.
(Knock knock) I opened the door to see a kid covered in tattoo's, piercings, and had dyed hair. Just like me. "Hi are Mikey, Ash, and Cal here?" He asked looking at his phone. "Yes may I ask who you are?" I said looking at him confused. "I was just gonna ask you the same!" He said laughing. "I'm Luke." He said sticking out his hand. "L-Luke? Don't you remember me?" I said on the verge of tears. "No am I supposed to?" He said looking at me. "N-never mind... Boys! He's here!" I said tears streaming down my face. They all ran down, but Mikey stopped in front of me. "He doesn't know who I am..." I said crying. He hugged me until Cal called him over. "Where's Arzaylea?" "She broke up with me for some other guy." He said looking down. "Now you know how Liv felt." I said looking at him sadly.

"Mikey is that your girlfriend? Because she's hot!" Luke said to me. "Luke that's Liv and you really upset her when you just left like that and now you don't remember her? That's fucked up!" I screamed running upstairs to Liv's room. I found her on her bed crying. "Liv don't cry over him he's and asshole!" I said hugging her. "He just left with that other girl and now he's back and she broke up with him for another guy and I hope it hurt him badly." She was smiling slightly until the door opened. "Liv? Can I please talk to you?" Luke asked her.

"Wait is that who I am? Hmm did Michael tell you because you seemed so fucking clueless!" I screamed at him. "And I'll tell you what! Right after you left me like that I had an anxiety attack so bad I was hospitalized for 2 months! And I committed 2 times. Also I still cut to this very day and it's all because of what you did, what the fans say about me, and what Arzaylea says about me to fans. I'm so done with this whole work why don't I just go back to my old room at my mum and dads and hang myself because it's all still there in that very closet! And I'm 24 now and I'm not married because I'm just too much of a freak!" I screamed storming out to the car driving to where this all started, my foster parents house. I walked in to no one there and went up to my old room. I grabbed my rope and got back in the car. I drove to the bridge you have to cross to get to the house. I saw Luke's car start to drive towards the bridge. I tied the rope to it, put it around my neck, and sat on the edge waiting to get the courage to jump. I was about to when I felt a hand on my shoulder. "What?" I asked holding onto the hands I once held and called mine, but only for a day. "Don't." He said taking the rope off my neck. I slid I back on and scooted towards the edge. "If you're gonna do it, take the rope off, because then you won't have time to contemplate your choices." He slid the rope off and grabbed my hand as I jumped. "You're not going anywhere baby."
