Phoebe's POV
Dean decided to give me a four day weekend for all of the work I've been doing. He was gone for nearly a month and seemed happy to be back today. I didn't fight him on the subject, I knew he just wanted to have the store to himself. He's missed it. Now with the Mrs gone, he must be lonely and I want him to be as at home as possible. And, I don't mind taking a vacation. Louis and I were working like mad men to keep everything together and all the people happy. He brought in a lot of business with that book deal.
"And Beep?" Dean asks as I'm heading out the door.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Thank you, for all of this." He says. I give him a small nod before leaving. He deserves to have that store kept well.

"Oh Harry had Ed over the other night and they took off out of the place. I don't know why or where they went, but they were in a hurry. They're all over the place lately." Louis tells me while we're walking to get Chinese.
"I haven't heard a peep from Rebecca about Ed. I hope she's doing alright with all of this." I say.
"Same goes for him." I say after a minute. I don't think he's too happy that she won't even talk to him.
"Yeah, I think he's okay. I know he's not happy, but he'll figure it out. I don't know, really." He says. I lean into Louis a bit closer as we pass by some people.
"Cramped sidewalk?" He asks and I shrug.
"Eh, you know I'll look for any excuse to scoot closer to you." I say and laugh at how lame the line was. He joins me and shakes his head.
"Cheese head." He says.
"I have to try to be cute sometimes, it's my job." I say and feel him kiss my cheek.
"Like I have to do that sometimes?" He asks and I laugh.
"Sure. You can do that any time you want." I say.
"I'll make note of that." He says. We arrive at the Chinese place and pick up all of the bags.
"I can't believe you talked me into walking here." He groans.
"I figured it would be nice. It wasn't too cold today, so I wanted to enjoy the weather." I say.
"Yeah, you're lucky I love you." He says and I stop walking. He gets around ten more steps in before freezing.
"Oh. That wasn't supposed to happen just now." He says. My mouth hangs slightly open as he just stands there.
"Please don't hate me." He says and I laugh quietly. How could I hate him?
"No, it's okay." I say and smile. And that it was. He won't turn to face me, so I'll just have to say it like this.
"It's alright because I feel the same way." I say. He finally moves and when he does it's to turn around and smile at me.
"Um." He says and I laugh. He walks back toward me, trying to kiss me, but the bags get in the way.
"I'll kiss you when we get back." I say and he nods.
"Good plan. At least one of us is good at that." He says and I shrug. I don't mind that he blurted it out. In fact, I think I like it that he did. It gets rid of all that mushy gushy stuff and gives me the straight out truth.
"I do feel that way, just so you know. I wasn't just saying that so you wouldn't feel awkward." I tell him.
"Yeah." He says quietly. We make our way back to the flats and head up the stairs. When we return to my place, Rebecca isn't there yet, and neither is Harry.
"He's out with Ed." Louis says and I nod.
"Good to know." I say. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him.
"You know, the food is getting colder by the second." He says and I shove him away.
"Way to keep the romance." I tell him and he laughs.

It's the four of us, Rebecca, Harry, Louis, and I sitting on the small couch and chairs. We're just sitting around talking, making jokes, and enjoying ourselves. This moment right here is what I'll remember. The four of us are honestly really good friends and in the future, when I look back on this flat and all it's memories, I hope I think of now.
"So Phoebe, I see you still love that bracelet Louis got you." Harry says and I nod.
"Why wouldn't I? I wear it every day no matter what." I say. Louis smiles and kisses the top of my head.
"She does. Its kind of cute, really. Say, didn't you give it to her before you two were together?" Rebecca asks.
"Yeah, for her birthday." Louis answers her.
"Right and then you two were together the next week because of the two love experts right here." Harry says, using his finger to point between him and Rebecca.
"Sure, that's what you are." I say.
"Hey, you actually have the New York Pact in a frame!" Harry points it out and I nod.
"Of course! We're all going no matter what. Whether we're sad or sick or mad at anyone in the group, we go. Oh, and Ed too. Where is he anyway?" I ask.
"He's visiting family." Harry says. My blonde friend has a sad smile on. I hate this close and far thing that they have going on. They need to get together or just be friends, and not leave each other out of the loop.
