Downfall [lwt]

Chapter Eight - Worldwide

We silently walk back to the Pierced Direction apartment and say goodbye. "We have to leave tomorrow morning..." Louis says breaking the silence. I knew this was coming, I just didn't know when.

"Promise me that you'll say goodbye to us tomorrow morning?" Louis whispers into my ear.

"I can't promise anything. I have a job too."

"Well then I demand that you see us." Harry butts in.

"Yeah! If you haven't noticed, we all love you and honestly don't want to leave." Niall shrugs.

Their words are kind and thoughtful,

But we all have jobs and lives we have to get back to. "Promise us this, you will at least try to see us and we'll go from there." Liam says hugging me.

"A-Alright." I smile. I don't know how that's going to work out. My boss absolutely hates me.

"You never told us, what do you work for and where at?"

"I work at a daycare and it's on 34th street." I smile politely as I hug everyone of them.

"I'll make it an effort to see you guys." I say as I close the door.

I walk back to my apartment and suddenly I feel empty inside. Knowing I lost Zayn and the four goofy members of Pierced Direction are leaving for the UK tomorrow makes me feel so much worse. I spend my day on tumblr and twitter just catching up on what happened, considering I was actually productive for two days straight.

I fall asleep watching Cheaper By the Dozen and end up falling off the couch. In the middle of my slumber there is a knock on my door which I groggily answer. "Louis?" I ask confused as he walks into my apartment.

"I thought you could use some company." He smiles and lays on my couch.

"Well if you're going to be staying here, the least I can do is give you the bed."

"Nah, I'm fine here." He smiles reassuringly. I nod and walk to the bathroom to wipe off any excess makeup and brush my teeth. After I am done, I walk back to check on Louis and he is sound asleep. I really wanted to know why he came back to see me.

Maybe he was worried about Zayn and I?

I carefully tip-toe over to where he is and sigh. I can't leave him here but I don't want to sleep on the couch, either. I finally come to the conclusion of us both sleeping together, but not in that way. I carefully pick him up and drag him to the bed, almost dropping him a few times on the way.

I lay him down and take his glasses off of his face. I set them down on the drawer and turn off the lights. I I slip into bed with him and rest my head near his neck. This is what it's like to have people who care about you. This is what I've been missing.

I slip into a light sleep as I dream of what it would be like to finally find the one.

I awake to feeling heavy breathing on my neck. I slowly squint my eyes and blink before my vision becomes more clear. I look down at Louis Tomlinson is just casually snoring beneath me. I take this opportunity to grab my phone and snap a quick picture just so I can remember this time.

Bella James - May 16, 2013 - At Daycare on 34th Street

Carrie and I set up the chairs as the kids walk in with all of their cute little backpacks. It is now lunch time and they put their backpacks in their cubbies. "Hey Carrie, do you think you can handle them? I am going to work overtime because I'm taking an extra long lunch...?" I say carefully.
