RECAP:

"LET ME GO!" I hear Juliet shriek. My feet dig into the ground. Standing there was Juliet's dad holding her over the edge.

My heart pounds against my chest at that scene. How did he get out of jail?! Stan, Melanie, and Danielle come running up from different directions.

"Stay away from Juliet!" Her dad yells.

All of it happened so quickly. I saw her dad's other hand reach into his pocket and I went mad. I run wrapping my arms around her waist throwing us over the edge. We went straight into the water and came right back up, completely unharmed. Three screams come from the top and Stan, Melanie, and Danielle plunge into the water.

"What did he do?" I ask when the bob up.

"Nothing, he didn't even turn around." Stan says. I laugh. From the water we watch police take him away again. We exchange a look with each other. Yeah we were soaked, tired, stressed, and scarred forever but I didn't mind. This summer held some of the best experiences of my life.

So there we were, treading water, staring at each other, not caring we were all almost killed because it was just amazing. It was crazy to me how close people could get in such little time. Even if I did leave I knew Juliet would be ok without me.

=============================================================================

 JULIET'S POV

I walk down the dock where Louis and I had our first date. We were having our last date tonight before he left tomorrow morning. The scene was exactly like before. It almost brought tears to my eyes.

"It seems like there is a lot going on we need to talk about before I leave, yeah?" Louis asks while we sit down. I nod. "I've been meaning to tell you, and I have been hoping it would make this all less awkward. Stan didn't tell you everything. Yes I'm leaving, but I'm leaving for X Factor."

"X-X Factor?" I slur.

"Yeah. I have been thinking about it a lot but the last thing I want to do is hurt you in the process of living my dream." Louie explains holding my hand. "Jules, the only thing that would keep me from leaving is you." My eyes drift down.

"Louis, I don't want you to go. But I don't want to be the one to keep you from going." I say. This was going to change everything. He wouldn't only be gone for this year but he would be gone for the X Factor tour. How can I do this by myself?

"I know it will be hard while I am gone, but think about everything we can do when I get back. I don't even know if I will make it through to bootcamp." Louis says.

"Of course you will make it through! Louis, you're the best singer I know!" I say. "I'm really sorry. I just thought you were leaving for no reason. If I had known you were going to try for X Factor I would have never said those things to you."

"Don't be love, I should've told you before. I should be sorry." Louis says.

"No." I shake my head. "You can't feel sorry, I'm the one who yelled at you." It is silent for a minute. "There's something you should know..."

"What is it?" Louis asks giving my hand a squeeze. Right then I wanted the ground to swallow me up. I couldn't tell him, if I told him he would stay with me.

"It's not important." I say.

"Anything you have to say is important." Louis lifts my head up. "Why are you crying?"  I start bawling.

"I can't tell you!" I cry. "It wouldn't even matter anyway! If I told you, you would break up with me! Louis you need to understand that I am doing this for your own good! You can't know! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" I sit sobbing my heart out.

LOUIS' POV

It killed me to see Juliet like this, it absolutely killed me. All I wanted was to be able to take her in my arms and let her know nothing would change. That we would still be us and no one could rip apart what we had. But I couldn't. I tried to pull her on my lap but she wouldn't budge.

=============================================================================

JULIET'S POV

"Do you have everything?" Louis' mum asks him. I was sitting on the steps of our cabin after helping Louis load his stuff. He was letting me keep many things of his which I was thankful for. I gave him some of my things too. Stan, Danielle, Melanie, and I were all sitting there. Waiting (another term for dreading) the time where we had to say goodbye.

"Yeah." Louis nods. Kind of lying since I had some of his stuff. Everyone in camp was sitting anywhere they could see the goodbyes. I think there was someone even on the roof of our cabin. Louis turns to us. His mum peeks her head up to watch. Danielle gets up first.

"If you win you're giving me some of the money." Dani jokes.

"Sure thing." Louis chuckles hugging her as I already start to feel tears heat up my face.

"Sing your little heart out." Danielle says.

"I will. Promise." Louis replies. Melanie was next.

"Don't forget about us." Mel says hugging him.

"There isn't any chance in that happening." Louis reassures her.

"I'll see you in the finals." Stan smiles at his best mate.

"If I don't die first." Louis shrugs. They laugh giving a bro hug. Louis gives me a half smile.

"Please don't go." I beg. I get to my feet, running over. Louis swings me around.

"Are you ok?" Louis asks.

"I'm fine." I lie completely. "Today isn't about me. My boyfriend's gonna be on TV." We wrap our arms around each other.

"A promise is forever Jules. I won't be gone for long. Don't lose faith." Louis says.

"I won't." I mumble into his neck. 

"I'm doing this for you, for us. Once I get back we will pick up right where we left off." Louis tries calming me down. I nod my head, unable to speak. We pull away. "I love you."

"I love you too." I try my best to smile.

"I'm really going to miss you." Louis says.

"Well, I'm going to miss you too." I state the obvious.

"I hate to rush you Boo Bear," We look over. "but we need to go." Louis' mum says. We turn back to each other pressing our lips to the other's. I was going to miss this Doncaster boy more than words can express. Louis is pulled into the van by one of his little sisters and the car drives off, tearing me from my entire world. The girls and Stan walk up to me. We wrap our arms around each other, blank faces, staring into the spot where we lost our Louis.

Little did I know, the end of that chapter was the start of a whole new beginning for me, Louis, Stan, and everyone we met along the way that summer adding some new friends to the bunch.

I look down to my stomach where a little person was being held.

=============================================================================

I almost cried during that ending, how about you? I know this story was really short but there isn't that much time between the beginning of summer and Louis' audition. I'll put the sequel information in then but I wanted to leave a little bit of a cliffhanger. All I will tell you is that the next book is in London in March of 2013. Have a good day! Or night! Or whatever time it is for you!
