It's Gotta Be Lou

Say Goodbye

Authors Note: ok so here's the next part, I hope you guys like it! Btw this is just one of many problems :)! I hope you guys don't hate me for wot I'm about to write! Be prepared... Oh and P.S. The job I gave (y/n) was just a random name I made up, I don't think it exists :p P.S.S follow @WTCevelin on twitta! She's (y/n)'s cousin :D

***(Y/N)'s POV***

Oh.Mah.God! No this isn't true. It can't be. I'm so confused! Ok, (y/n). Breathe. Process every word Louis just said and make sense of it. 1) Devin cheated. Ok I knew that already. 2) Devin cheated on me with Louis' ex. Well that explains how Louis knew exactly who I was. Wow. This is crazy! 3) Louis knew the whole time I was being cheated on and he didn't tell me. Well um, he said he wasn't trying to hurt me. Uh, it hurts very much! Knowing I could've been single without the hurt would've been a lot more relieving. 4) Last but not least, Louis loves me. Are my ears deceiving me?! Is he pranking me?! I-I-I don't understand, how?! He needs so much explaining to do!

No, I'm not going to talk to him. This is ridiculous, he cannot just show up out of the blue, observe me, and say he loves me without knowing who I am! Wait I'm not making any sense, obviously observing me he had to have seen my actions, I'm the one who doesn't know this stranger. Yet I have been crushing on him since we met. Which was wot, five days ago? Oh no, my head is spinning I need some rest.

For the past three weeks Lou had been blowing up my phone leaving me voicemails saying we need to talk and that it was urgent. No. It's not happening, I've had enough with boys hiding secrets from me. He should've told me from the beginning. He watched me, witnessed Devin and his ex, whoever she was, together. Eman also blew up my phone because I hadn't been showing up to work, little did he know I called and quit two weeks ago; without any explanations I had asked for my manager to send me my last paycheck through the mail. I really didn't want to go outside, I felt like such a fool.

It was quiet at the dinner table, it was just me and my mum living together. I knew my attitude was bringing my mum down and more cos I stopped talking.

My mum finally broke the silence, "Honey, Eman has been dropping by a lot lately. I think he's really concerned about you. He tells me you haven't kept in touch," I looked up and back down poking at the green peas that were served on my plate, "and a wonderful young man came by. He was so sweet. Very delightful. I really liked him."

I stopped. Who could she be talking about? The only guys who knew where I lived were Eman and Devin. I finally asked, "Excuse me mum, did he leave a name?"

She was very cheerful to say his name, "Oh yes, he introduced himself as Louis...Tomlinson. Yep, he's such a kind young man! He came three times to be exact, but you were sleeping. Honey you should really talk to him, he was worried when I told him you weren't yourself. In fact you should talk to both of them."

I couldn't believe this. Then I remembered he had my address when I sent it to him last month, "Well isn't he quite the charm with everyone? Excuse me mum, I need some thinking to do and for any future actions, forgive me."

Poor mother was confused but I couldn't take this.

Next morning came and I looked through apartments that were vacant for me to rent. I also circled any jobs that were hiring, however I called a café that advertised "EMPLOYEES WANTED RIGHT AWAY".

It turned out today was my lucky day, I got a job interview at Lucky Bean Café located inside the old village and got the job right on the spot. I started work in two days taking the morning shift from 8am-1pm. The manager informed me that my schedule might be changed and that he'd be giving me a calendar. Around noon I went apartment hunting but apparently none of them were up for rent so I called my cousin. I was thrilled to know I could stay with her, of course I told her I'd help with rent and anything else! It was perfect, she lived by a park, near the supermarket, a gas station, and only 20mins away from my work. Now the hardest part ever, break my mum's heart and tell her I was moving out, but first I headed to my phone dealer and changed my number.

A week later, my boxes were packed into the truck and I had to say my goodbye. I'll be honest, wot I'm doing is ridiculous but I need a fresh start, and that's exactly wot I told my mother. A tear came down her cheek and I held onto her so tight she stopped breathing until I let go. She gave me a kiss on the cheek and I got into my car and drove off. Along the drive I couldn't help but feel terrible, leaving my mum all alone, not calling Eman back or even talk to him ever since Louis' phone call, and not giving Louis the chance to explain himself. Guilt was eating me up, but then I thought it's ok, move on.

Delilah greeted me and helped me unpack all my boxes, "Well there it is!! We're room mates! Oh how exciting! It's been ages since we've last seen each other! Goodness I cannot believe this, let's celebrate!!"

She made me laugh, I hadn't laughed in a month, a whole month gone to waste, "Ok. Sure sounds great, where are we going to celebrate?"

"My friend told me about this smashing club that I promised I'd go to. Although I said I would, I never had the chance to cos I didn't have anyone to go with especially cos I'm forever alone so I thought, hey my cousin is moving in, let's celebrate there!" she was so excited. I've never seen anyone this energetic besides Lou. Oh great he's stuck in my head. I brushed off the thought of him as Delilah continued, "C'mon! It'll be exciting and who knows, we might pick up some dashing men eh eh."

I couldn't reject her offer, and I thought, sure why not? The past month I had been hiding in a cave too embarrassed to show myself, but now that I'm starting off fresh, this meant new adventures! "Sure! 10 o' clock tonight I'm in!"
