~The Day~

*Emily's P.O.V.*

I came home from school happy because ITS FRIDAY! And FIRST DAY OF SUMMER BREAK! I walked in the door.

"Hey mum."

"Hey hun. You remember Niall right?"

I cringed at his name.

"Yes. Vaguely."

"Well, he's gonna come over for dinner tonight because he's on vacation."

"Do I have to join you guys?"

"Yes. You guys were best mates. What happened?"

"He stopped contacting me as a whole!"

"Sweetie. You gotta give him the benefit of the doubt. He was probably really busy."

"Yeah but he had time to still tweet."

"Ok. Well maybe that's his manager."

"Really mum? Really?"

"I'm sorry hun. Just please behave yourself."

"Fine."

"Good. He'll be over in 10 minutes so go change."

"What's wrong with this?"

"It's too businessy."

"Fine."

I went up to my room and threw on my summer dress. I was too lazy to do my hair so I threw it in a messy bun. I reapplied my foundation, mascara, blush, and lip gloss. Wow. That took ten minutes. I walked down the stairs. He was already here.

"Emily!" he exclaimed.

"Hey Niall."

When I got to the bottom he gave me a huge hug. I awkwardly hugged back.

"Alright. You two can catch up later but for right now lets eat!" my mum exclaimed.

I pulled her off to the side.

"Is dad not joining us tonight?"

"I'm afraid not. He got held up at the office."

"But I haven't seen him in two days."

"He'll be home honey. Trust me."

I didn't even bother to reply. I tried my best to put a smile on my face. I sat down next to Niall. The worst part of all of this is that I have the memory of him telling me he likes me right before he stopped talking to me. I'll never forget that Skype call.

~Flashback~

"How's X-Factor?"

"It's great! I have my first day of boot camp today. I really want to make it through."

"You will. I'll be the first one to buy your album."

"Haha. Thanks Emily."

"No problem."

"Ok. Since I'm probably not gonna see you for a while I need to tell you something."

'"Ok. What's on your mind?"

"I like you as more than a friend or a sister."

"Oh. Ok."

"I think I need to go rehearse. I'll talk to you later."

"Yeah. Talk to ya later."

~End of Flashback~

I actually kept my promise and was the first one to buy his band's first album. The worst part of all that was that I never told him how I felt and I regretted it for the rest of my life. Now he's back but all my feelings for him have just faded away...

"So, Emily, how have you been? I haven't seen you in like 3 years," Niall said looking me straight in the eyes. Those baby blue orbs are still the same.

"I've been good. Been focusing a lot on school. I just finished my first year at uni. Yourself?"

"I've been good. Missing home a lot though."

"What's it like being in biggest boy band in the world?" my mum asked.

"It's a bit odd. Like I never expected any of this to happen."

*Niall's P.O.V.*

I've missed Emily so much. She looks really unhappy though. It's as if she doesn't want to see me. She was so quiet during dinner. After dinner she immediately went to her room. When she came back out she was in sweats and a free hugs sweatshirt that I have her for her birthday one year. I can't believe she kept it.

"So..." I started.

Nothing. Her phone went off.

"Oh hey Jess!"

"What's up?"

"No. I'm not doing anything."

Then her mom came and took away her phone.

"Hey Jess this Emily's mum. She's not free. Ok. Bye!"

"Mum!"

"Emily. Niall's here. You haven't seen him in three years. Don't you think you should catch up with him?!"

She didn't reply. I just looked at her.

"That's what I thought. I'm taking away your phone for a month for your behavior."

"Mum!"

"Not one word. I'm taking it away and that's final."

"Ugh! I wish dad was here!"

She ran up to her room and slammed the door.

"What does she mean she wishes her dad was here?"

"I haven't told her the entire story. I keep telling her that her dads working at the office but he's actually been deployed."

"Where is her dad?"

"I'm not sure. All I know is I got a call from his boss but he didn't say where he went or when he's coming back. For all I know he could be dead!"

"Calm down. I'm pretty sure he isn't dead. He wouldn't leave without telling Emily good-bye. They were always so close."

"You're right."

"Should I go talk to her?"

"No. She actually doesn't really want to talk to anyone lately. She's actually been pushing a lot of people away lately."

"Why?"

"I'm not sure."

"Is Emily even happy to see me?"

"That's confidential."

"That would be a no."

"No. She's just in shock."

"Ok... I think I'm gonna go talk to her."

I slowly walked up the stairs. Oh god...
