I feel like I'm paralyzed. That's a name that I haven't seen in a long, long time. That is, in regards to me.

After Louis auditioned for the X Factor, my contact with him started to slip.

At first, we would text maybe once every week. But after a little while, we just never spoke again. I was really upset, knowing that one of my best friends just.... Left. Now Christine is the only one I have.

Thinking back on it now, losing Louis so easily was one of the things I regret most.

He was such a great person, funny, kind, and best of all, just seeing him could always put a smile on your face. Even thinking about him now made me smile, but then I realized the reason I let my phone slip out of my hand: why would he text me? I mean I know we're friends, or were friends, but I thought after the X Factor he would just forget about me. I assumed the fame would take up too much of his time, so he would just stop talking to me.

And he did basically... Except now.

I can tell Christine is looking at me, wondering why I look so shocked. But trust me, the minute she finds out who it's from, she'll know.

I had spent so many nights on the phone, crying to her about losing one of my best friends. After this had become a daily thing that I did, I think she began to grow a hatred for Louis because he left me so ups-

"BROOKE ANSWER THE GODDAMN TEXT" I hear Christine yell angrily at me.

I could tell she genuinely wanted to know who it was, and I wanted to know what he had to say to me. In one swift motion, I scoop my phone up from the ground and look it at.

Louis Tomlinson:

Hey Brooke! Long time no see huh? I'm back in Doncaster for a while and I want to talk to you! Stop by around 3? :)

I smiled to myself the moment I saw this. For a while now I've really wanted to meet up with him and just have a nice talk. What has happened to him with the X Factor and One Direction is absolutely amazing, and I really want to talk to him about it. And nows my chance. Immediately, but not too soon, I shoot him a text back.

To: Louis Tomlinson

Definitely!! See you soon!! :)

As I lock my phone, I feel a sudden happiness that I haven't felt in a long time. I also feel... Watched... I turn around to see that Christine's grinning face is right behind me.

"Oh my god Christine you scared the crap out of me!!" I exclaim to send her a clear message that I don't like being watched.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE TEXTED YOU" she yells so loudly that I can't tell if she's mad or happy.She is probably a mix of the both to be totally honest.

"Now that butthole wants to talk to you after YEARS. But you never know he could have a reason for his behavior and he makes you really happy. But now that butthole thinks he can come back and it all be better!" Bipolar much?

Even though I am kind of mad at Lou I still want to see him because I cannot even imagine how hard it would be for him to be that famous and still have time to keep in touch. At least he is making an effort.

While Chris continued to mutter profanities about Louis under her breath I checked the time to see it was already 2:00, so I have to get ready.

I snuck up to my room to get ready before she chained me to the couch to keep me from going or pushed me out the door and would not allow me back in until I met up with him. I rolled my eyes at Christine's ability to never make up her jmind and stepped into the shower.

After my shower I was proud to say I didn't look nearly as bad as when I woke up. I plugged my flat iron in and while I waited for it to heat up I got dressed.

My outfit consisted of these cute cut off jean short shorts, a ruffled floral tank top, gladiator sandals, and a leather belt. I put on some gold bangles and put in my pearl earrings. I brushed out my hair and went back into my bathroom where my straightener was fully heated.

After a quick job of straightening my hair I put on a headband complete with a flower in my hair. I grabbed my (faux shhhh) leather purse and dropped a few hair ties in just in case. I plucked my aviator sunglasses off my shelf and slipped them over my eyes.

Humming a happy song I skipped down the hall to the stairs and slid down the railing. Chris was still mumbling trying to make up her mind so I shouted

"Hi, Chris! Bye, Chris! I love you!" And slammed the door and continued running out to my car.

I put all the windows down and blasted the radio singing along at the top of my lungs...quite obnoxiously I might add.

When I stopped at a red light the man next to me gave me a glare.

"What? I'm a unique person...don't judge".

The light turned green and I continued the drive to Louis's house dancing as much as I could in my seat. When I pulled up to his flat I placed my sunglasses in my purse and involuntarily gulped. I climbed out of my car and all but ran to the door.

I reached out my fist and noticed it was shaking as I knocked on the door. I waited a couple seconds until the door swung open and who was standing in front of me?

Louis Tomlinson.
