Louis and I had the flat all to ourselves all weekend, and it was only Friday night. I smiled as Louis sat on the couch, contented as he played Fifa. I began making macaroni and cheese, and Louis paused the game and took the macaroni and cheese away from me. "Lou, what was-" He cut me off and replied, "We're going out tonight." I smiled, and replied quietly. "Thank you." He hugged me and replied, "You're welcome, love." I went to go slip on a pair of skinny jeans and Uggs, along with a long sleeve England football jersey, and I hadn't noticed Louis coming inside.

"Meg?" He asked quietly, and I jumped in suprise. "W-What?" I asked nervously. "Why are you so nervous?" He asked, chuckling as he approached me. "Meg, are you almost-" He began a thought, and he stopped as he saw whag I had been concealing from him. "Meg..." He whined, and I could tell his patience was wavering. I felt my eyes getting watery, but I forced myself not to cry. I'd done that too many times before.

"I'm s-sorry..." I said quietly, not wanting to look up at Louis, in fear that he was angry. He sighed heavily and wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug. "Meg, please come to me when you're down, okay? Otherwise I can't help you." I looked at the floor and twiddled my thumbs. "Okay..." I said, and he hugged me again. "Nando's sound okay?" He asked me, still hugging me. I smiled and replied, "Yeah... Thanks Lou." I said, squeezing him tightly to me.

Louis was the only reason that I had been clean for so long. He's the only reason that I'm still fighting. He's a part of me that gives me hope... And I needed that.
