"I'll get it!" I beamed jumping up from the sofa. I practically ran to answer the door.

"Katieeee" I yelled, hugging her, I haven't seen her in ages. We were both busy with our jobs and the weather was crap, making it hard to travel to each other's houses or even meet up.

"Come in, it's freezing." I said, hanging out her coat.

We walk towards the living room and I whisper to her 'Kyle doesn't know you're here' before winking at her causing her giggle. We quietly tip toed to where the boys were. Katie went behind Kyle and covered his eyes.

"Ells what the fuck are you doing?" Kyle yelped in surprise. Everyone erupted in laughter.

"It's not me." I told him, sitting next to Will.

"Boo!" Screamed Katie next to Kyle's ear, making him jump and fall.

"Oh my god, Katie!" He yelled, standing up and chasing her around the house, Me, Will, Dan and Woody couldn't stop laughing. Kyle grabbed her and placed her over his shoulders.

"Kyle Simmons! I demand you to put me down!" Katie shrieked, hitting his back. I wish I could be this happy.

Kyle eventually put Katie down and hugged her. Will got his phone out and snapped a picture. They truly did look so good together. I smiled at the thought. They were meant to be. I ended introducing Katie to the others however, they practically knew her because of Kyle.

"Omg, I have so much to talk to you about!' Katie exclaimed, dragging me upstairs. We sat on my bed and I ended up braiding her hair. I've always done this.

"First of all tell me how are you doing? Don't lie, I will be able to tell if you are lying." She said.

"Honestly, I'm feeling more better since Ky came. But I had a dream yesterday and woke up crying." I explained, she gave me the 'carry on' look. I took a deep breath and told her everything. I even told her how Dan came and helped me. I told her the flashbacks, the awkward journey. Everything.

"Oh my god, did I miss so much?" she beamed, jumping up and down. "He likes youuuu" she began to sing, causing me to laugh.

I know he doesn't, even I don't like myself.

"Shut up, have you seen me? He's in a band, he's famous, their are so many pretty girls. Im nothing, all I have is my stupid mind, taunting me." I sigh, looking away from her.

"No, your gorgeous, everyone is a bit broken." she grabbed my shoulders and looked dead into my eyes.

"Not as much as me." I muttered. She sighed.

"My dear Ellie, when will you realise your amazing?" Never. My mind answered.

We continued to talk, gossiping about random things. She told me a girl at her work called Victoria, was obsessed with Kyle and she would ramble on and on about it. Katie obviously didn't like that so she ended up telling her that he already had a girlfriend and they were planning to get married. I couldn't stop laughing. Victoria never again mentioned Kyle. At 1, we decided we should go out to eat with the boys.

We were currently in Mc Donald's. I was sitting next to Katie and Woody and opposite Katie was Kyle, opposite me was Dan and opposite Woody was Will. I was currently talking to Woody about his life. He has a girlfriend back home called, Jade. They've been together for 4 years. They met in school however, they were only close friends before they both ended up liking each other.

"Kat, throw a chip and let me see if I can catch it with my mouth." Kyle said, having all the attention on him. Katie smirked and threw her chip at him. Katie was never good in sports however, she has a perfect body. The chip landed in his eye causing him to scream. Everyone bursts out laughing. Even the table next to us started laughing. Kyle was death glaring everyone.

"Opps, I never said my aiming was any good." Katie smirked, reaching over to his side and picking out a handful of his chips.

I looked at Dan and he was laughing. His eyes sparkled, the corner of his eyes slightly crinkled. He noticed me staring, I smiled as wide as I could. He began to laugh again, not taking his eyes of me. I slightly blushed, returning my gaze to the now pissed off Kyle. Once everyone was finished, it was 1pm. We all decided we should hang around in the park as the weather was pleasant enough. Also to kill time.

"What's your favourite colour?" Dan asked, catching up to me.

"Huh?" I replied, why does he wanted to know about me. No one does. He's only being friendly. My mind told me back. He asked again.

"Sorry, its purple, what's yours?" I replied, smiling.

"Mines red, do you like it here?" He asked again. What does he want to know so much about me.

"You mean in this town?" He nodded.

Well apart from all the memories of Harry. I enjoy it here. I moved here 5 years ago after I finished uni. I wanted to get away from England so I moved to America.

"Well, honestly I like it here. It's peaceful most of the times and many people don't live here. But if I had the chance I would move back to England, that's where I mostly feel at home," I honestly answered, carefully making sure I wouldn't say anything about Harry. He doesn't need to know that.

"What's stopping you?" He asked.

I let that sink in. If I moved, Harry would find me. He would kill me. I know he will be back in my life. I can't escape this, I can't escape my life. This is my fate. He strictly told me not to go anyway. He told me had many people in his gang in different countries, they would find me.

"Um.. I don't know." I reply back, my voice barely above a whisper.

"That's bullshit, I know something's wrong and trust me love, I will find out, I want to help you." He stated. I felt the anger rush inside of me, I can't be fixed, I'm broken.

"Good luck with that." I firmly say, walking away from him. He gently grabs my arm, causing butterflies to erupt from my stomach. I turn around facing him.

"I will fix you." He stares at my eyes. He's not lying. I turn around once again and leave him. I join Woody as he is walking.

That's when it hits me. He called me love. Suddenly, all the angry I had because of him vanishes. I slowly smile. I turn around and he's still there; staring at me. He raises his eyebrows as to ask 'what' I shake my head and face the front.

The smile on my face doesn't leave.

Maybe, just maybe, I can feel happy again.
