"Watching you get dressed messes with my head. Take that bag off your shoulder. Come get back in bed, we still got time left, this don't have to be over..."

One Month Later

-Taylor-

I wake up and notice the spot on the bed next to me is empty. I frown and sigh, turning over onto my back and staring at the ceiling.

I hear the shower running and I feel the tears prick my eyes.

He's leaving today.

I frantically wipe my eyes as I hear the water stop and I sit up in the bed. The bathroom door opens and he walks out, with the towel wrapped around his waist.

"Hey love," he whispers with a sad smile. I smile back at him and he frowns as a tear escapes my eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, none of that," he says, walking over to me. He places his hand on my cheek and wipes away my tear.

"I don't like seeing your pretty face cry," he says and I stand up, wrapping my arms around his bare back. He rubs my back and I snuggle my face into his warm shoulder.

"I don't want you to go," I whisper and he continues to stroke my back. "It's only for a little bit, yeah? Soon, you can come to a show and visit me, and we can Skype whenever you want," he says, pulling away and holding me by my shoulders.

I let my eyes roam his bare chest and stomach and I look back up into his eyes. "Okay," I whisper and he smiles before placing a soft kiss to my lips. "Good, now I'm going to get dressed and we are going out for breakfast," he says and I nod, going into the bathroom.

I pass on a shower, figuring I'll take one tonight, in the lonely flat, and I just brush out my hair.

I brush my teeth and wash my face, before putting on some makeup and then heading back out into the bedroom and getting a pair of tights and Louis' big sweatshirt.

I slip on the clothes and look around our room to see Louis is not there.

I walk downstairs and see him sitting on the couch on his phone. "You ready?" He asks and I nod. He grabs his keys and wraps our hands together as we walk out to his car.

He opens the door for me and I get in. He gets in and we start driving. We stop and I look up to see us parked in the McDonald's parking lot.

I laugh and Louis winks at me. I roll my eyes and we go inside, Louis' hand in mine again.

We order and Louis pays, as I go to sit at a table, whilst Louis brings our hot chocolates. Louis sets our drinks down and I grab mine, holding it in my hands to let them warm up.

I look at Louis and he is smiling at me. I shake my head at him and he takes a sip of his drink. Our number is called and Louis goes to get it.

I take my McMuffin off of the tray and notice how people are looking at us now and then and whispering.

I ignore them, just as I always do and turn to Louis as we talk. We finish our hot chocolates and food and I throw our trash away.

Louis checks the time on his phone. "The car comes to pick us up in 2 hours," he says and I frown. "Okay, you finished packing, right?" I ask him and he nods.

He takes my hand and brings me close to him, pressing our lips together. "Paps are waiting outside. Stay next to me, yeah?" He whispers as we pull away and I nod, taking a glance outside the window to see the black cameras.
