This is Part 1 of the final chapter, so all of it will be in Bailee's POV, then the Part 2 will be Niall's ! Hope you guys like the semi-ending :)

I sobbed, my hair falling over my face. 

"Bailee, come on." Rachel picked me up off of the ground, then brought me over to the couch, and moved my head to cry on shoulder. "It's been three days. You can do this."

"No, I c-c-can't. R-rachel, I j-just can't." I stuttered.

"You're my big sister, and I hate to see you like this. Broken. I remember when me and Courtney came to the house, after that night in the club and you were sober," she laughed slightly, reminding me when we went to the club, had too many shots, and had Jason in my room, "There was this spark in your eye. Something I'd never seen before when you were with other guys. He makes you so happy, and I don't think you see that... it's fading."

She was right. I must look pathetic to her right now. Utterly pathetic.

"Do you want Courtney to come over?"

I shook my head no.  Courtney was the oldest of us, but definitely not the wisest. She didn't really know how to handle these situations.

Just then, there was a soft knock at the door. Rachel got off of the couch and wrapped me in a blanket, and I laid down onto a pillow.

"W-what are you doing here?" I heard her whisper. "You shouldn't be here. She's not doing well. I know it's been three days, we were about to leave, and she just couldn't."

I lifted my head. looking into the doorway.

"Hannah?"

Rachel looked at me, eyebrows raised, as to ask if it was okay for her to come in. I nodded.

I sat up on the couch, and Hannah sat down to me.  She was about 4 months along now, and she was getting pretty large, I couldn't help but smile.  She put a hand on her stomach, and looked me meaningfully in the eyes.

"Rach, can I talk to her in private?" Hannah asked nicely.

"Yeah, you guys hungry? I was thinking tacos."

I couldn't help but stifle out a laugh. She was always hungry. Somehow, Mexican food was always the solution.

"I'm good." I said softly.

"Just some of those cinnamon twist things." Hannah replied.

Rachel grabbed her purse off the counter, then left me and Hannah to talk.

"What happened Bailee? You always come back. We've been so worried." She said.

"You know exactly what happened. You and Camryn were the ones who saw me run off," I reminded her, "I can't face Niall. Or you guys. All of you have given me the best summer of my life, and I feel like I've ruined all of it."

Hannah gave me a look of sympathy.

"You know that's not true. You make Niall so happy. You were different than all the girls who just wanted him for fame. You actually loved him . For him. He's a wreck and just misses you so much."

He really missed me? I thought he would just be furious with me, thinking I was so selfish and ungrateful.

I fiddled with my thumb, and twisted the keychain ring around on my finger. I never take it off. Even when I'm in the shower. But just now, it made me miss him more than ever.

"I'm not forcing you to do anything, I promise. But Liam's party is in three days, and I really think you should come. We love you so much. I need to get to an ultrasound appointment. I'll see you then, alright?" She hugged me, and I helped her out of the door and into the car just as Rachel pulled up into the driveway, and gave Hannah her food. I leaned into the window of Hannah's car.
