I woke up and remembered the events that took place the day previous. I still couldn't believe what happened yesterday.

I walked out of my bedroom to see Louis in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Good morning, love. Did you sleep well?" Louis asked.

"Actually, yes. Did you?" I rebutted.

"As good as you can sleep on a couch," he laughed.

"What are you making?" I asked.

"I saw the pancake mix in the cabinet and started to make some for me."

I looked at him with my eyebrows raised.

"I'm kidding. How could I forget about you?"

"Very funny, Louis," I said while sitting down at the table.

It was so funny how fond I am of Louis now. I've only met him once and we're already joking around. Maybe this is what making friends is like. I like this a lot.

My thoughts were interrupted by Louis putting the plate of pancakes down at the table.

"Eat up," Louis ordered.

I started to eat the pancakes and moaned in response.

"These are the best pancakes I have ever tasted in my entire life," I exclaimed.

"Really? I'm not much of a cook."

"Well considering I've only had pancakes twice and I've cooked them for myself both times, yes these are the best pancakes," we both laughed in unison.

We finished the pancakes and Louis got up from the table.

"I should get going. Hang sometime soon, yeah?" Louis asked.

"Yeah, definitely," I smiled.

He walked out of the door, as I sat on the couch. I finally have time to think about the boy from the pictures. Where was he right now? I need to find him again.

I changed out of my pajamas and grabbed my keys. I hopped in my car and drove to the first place I could think of that the boy might be. The house of the party last weekend.

I reached the house and got out of my car. I opened the door to the house, seeing that it was unlocked. I don't think anyone lives here anymore.

I saw the familiar stairs that I walked up to reach the boys room. The room soon came into view, as I creeped up the stairs. When I got to the room, I saw the two picture frames I had seen a week ago, but the boy wasn't here. I walked out of the room and into another room. He wasn't here either. I searched the whole house, but no traces of the boy.

I drove around hoping I would see the boy's familiar figure in the corner of my eye, but I didn't. Was he trying to avoid me? I hope not because I wanted to see him again. I longed to see him again.

As I was driving, I heard a beep come from my phone.

Hey Caly! You and Madison down for lunch today with Louis and I? -Niall
-

Niall asking me and Madison to lunch? Making friends is the best! My days aren't filled with Netflix anymore. They consist of having lunch with friends! I could get used to this.

I waited until I came to a red light to text back.

That sounds fun! Let me text Madison and make sure she can come. -Caly
-
Can't wait ! -Niall
-

The red light turned green and I turned my phone off. My foot pressed against the pedal, until I came across the next red light. I took out my phone and texted Madison.

My new friend, Niall, invited us to lunch! Can you come? -Calz
-
YOU HAVE A NEW FRIEND?! I'm so excited to meet him! Yes, I'm coming! -Madz
-
Perfect. See you then. -Calz
-

I texted Niall that we could go and he sent me the address of the place we are eating at. The red light turned green, as I sent the address to Madison.

I drove to the address and found myself at a cute restaurant right outside of LA. I walked in and saw Niall and Louis already at a table. I said my hello's right as Madison walked in the door. She looked so excited.

Madison walked over to us and hugged hi to my new friends. Although, she hugged Niall a bit too long.

We made small talk until the waitress got here and took our drink orders. It felt so good to go to a restaurant without being the waitress.

We talked about simply everything, kind of like the night Madison and I had a sleepover. We all talked about the most random things, and it felt really nice. A feeling in the pit of my stomach resurfaced. I needed to figure out what this feeling meant because I clearly had no idea.

"So your saying a cat jumped on top of your garbage can, and then proceeded to jump on you and that's how you got that scar?" Niall asked laughing so hard.

"Yes! I'm telling you! It was the most traumatic experience of my life," Madison said clearly having a great time and getting along great with my new friends.

The waitress interrupted our conversation as she brought us the food we ordered. We said thank you and she then asked us if we needed anything else.

"We're good. Thank you," Louis answered for us.

The waitress walked away, as we went back to having our conversation. This was nice, having friends to talk to. For so long, I was isolated from everyone because of my childhood. I didn't want to talk to anyone, but now I regret that decision. I never wanted to go a day without having friends ever again.

"Lunch is on me," Niall spoke up.

"No, let's all pay," Madison said.

The waitress came over and before anyone could do anything, Niall stuck the money in the woman hand. She was taken aback, but walked away with the money.

"Hey!" She whispered.

Niall smirked.

I didn't know anything about people, but these two were definitely flirting with one another.

"If you're really that distraught about it, then you can try to pay next time," Niall said.

"But I won't succeed will I?" Madison asked smiling.

"Probably not," Niall smirked yet again.

Lunch soon came to an end as we hugged each other goodbye. Louis and Niall both agreed we all need to hang out again soon. I liked the thought of that.

I walked to my car and drove home, thinking about what my life has turned out to be at the age of 21. I've changed so much since last year, and I hope to keep changing for the better throughout my friendships.

I arrived at my apartment and walked towards the elevator. I pressed the button to floor I was going to and rode up the elevator. Madison texted me about how she think she had a crush on Niall. I smiled. That's great for her. I wonder how Madison doesn't have a boyfriend already, I mean she's perfect.

I was too distracted on my phone to see the person standing at my door.

He's back.
