Louis' POV

[Flashback]

I've been waiting for this moment for the past three years, ever since I met her. Today was the day, I've been planning it for awhile now, and I really hope she likes it.

I have everything I need. My best friend Niall came over to make us a delicious meal of Pasta Vodka with her favorite red wine, Apothic Red.

I've got the table all set up and the wine chilling in a bucket of ice. I've also got my best pair of black slacks, with a nice pressed white button up and a tuxedo jacket, with a black silk tie.

Candles are lit up all around the room, the only light shining it.

This would the be perfect night for both of us. This is the day that I would propose to my girlfriend of three years, Rachel.

She was the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen. With gorgeous reddish brown hair cascading down her back, sparkling golden brown eyes, flawless sun kissed skin, and a smile to die for, she's perfect.

Anyways, she told me that she had to do some errands a few hours ago, so I got all this ready before she can get home, now I have to do is wait for her to get home.

*A few hours later*

I don't know where she is! I've been freaking out because she won't answer my texts or calls, it keeps saying that the number is "out of service," whatever that means.

I decided to go to her flat apartment to see if she's there, in case she forgot to come back to mine.

As I'm driving I get really anxious, because when she gets in my car to drive to my apartment, we'll have a romantic candlelight dinner, and then I'll propose. And she'll say yes, because I just know she loves me, but probably not as much as I love her.

I can trust her with anything and everything I tell her. She knows how to make me laugh and smile. She knows how to make me blush, and she knows where my weak points are to make my knees give way. She's the only one who know how to cheer up when I'm in a terrible mood.

And I'm going to marry her. She'll be Rachel Elizabeth Tomlinson. We'll be named Mr and Mrs Tomlinson. Just those thoughts alone gives me chills and makes a giant grin spread across my face.

I finally arrive at her complex and race up to her apartment. I start knocking wildly on the door, waiting for her to come up to the door and see her eyes brighten.

I wait a few seconds thinking 'Maybe she didn't hear it the first time', then knock again. 'Okay now I'm starting to get freaked out' I think to myself.

I jiggle the door knob a little bit to find the door was never locked. I walk inside and switch on the light, to find that the apartment is completely empty. I just stand there, with my jaw hung open and my eyes wide at the sight in front of me.

'Am I in the right apartment?' I ask myself. I go back outside to see that I am in fact, in Rachel's apartment, 3A. I walk back inside and look again to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Sure enough they weren't. The apartment was completely vacant.

"Excuse me, sir?" A small, fragile voice called from the doorway. I spun around to see a older woman, maybe around sixty, standing there, looking at me with her pocketbook on her shoulder.

"Yes?" I ask quietly.

"The younger woman that used to live here, moved out this afternoon. So unless you're looking to live here, I suggest you best be going." She said, then turned on her heel and walked down the hallway. As soon as she was out of sight and out of earshot, I collapsed.

I felt myself breaking, my whole world falling apart. The wetness of my tears were cascading down my face like powerful waterfalls.

"Why would she leave?" I whispered to myself. I choked out a sob and buried my face in my hands and cried. She left. Rachel left me without one word.

[Flashback over]

Since that day, I learned to never love again. I build a thick, concrete wall around my heart so no one could ever damage it again.

The only thing keeping me from my promise, was Danielle Nicole Stevens.
