"Y-you're what?" Niall choked out.

"Moving to LA," I repeated.

"You're leaving?" Niall's eyes grew glossy.

I opened my mouth and all I could let out was a whimper. I squeezed my eyes shut to hold back any tears and hung my head.

"Why?" he croaked.

"Just with everything happening. My mum's back in rehab Ni, I need to be with her. And Zayn, he threatened to kill me I just, I'm scared. I can't think of a better solution than just leaving."

Niall nodded, trying to be understanding. "When are you leaving?"

"Saturday," I grimaced.

Niall eyes widened. "This Saturday?"

I sucked on my bottom lip and nodded. I was trying so hard not to cry but the crushed look on Niall's face was making it difficult.

"First thing in the morning. But I'm going to make the next 3 days we have together last forever. We'll spend it together doing whatever you-" I was stopped when Niall choked out a sob.

I pulled him towards me and cradled his body in mine.

"Hey don't cry," I whispered, "I don't want to leave you Niall, I really don't," my voice cracked and I couldn't keep myself from crying any longer.

"I'm gonna miss you so much," he buried his face into my chest.

"I'll miss you too," I sighed, letting my salty tears drip down my face.

Niall shivered and I wrapped the blanket we were sitting on around us. My heart ached as I held him so gently, he seemed so fragile. I hated that I made him this way and that I dropped the news on him so suddenly.

"So," Niall finally spoke up, "this is shit."

"I know," I grimaced.

"We just moved all your stuff into the house and now we have to move it out again," he laughed sadly.

I laughed fondly and squeezed him tight.

"I'm going to miss the way you laugh at everything. Who will laugh at my stupid jokes now?" I huffed out a laugh, only causing more tears to fall from my eyes.

The thought occurred to me many times, what I would do without Niall. But I had to push myself into the realization that I can't depend on someone to the point that I can't function without them. It was going to be tough, I loved Niall with everything I had. But unfortunately, not all good things can last forever.

"I don't know. Maybe your mum? Probably not," Niall snickered.

And so we laughed. We sat snuggled underneath the blankets trying to laugh away the pain and rid our tears.

"So I guess we're breaking up in a few days?" Niall said, his voice raw.

"I guess so," I frowned.

It was strange to know exactly when a break up was coming. It's like being given those days you wish you had to make things right when all goes wrong.

"I'm still going to love you Harry," Niall admitted.

"I think a part of me will love you forever," I confessed.

I honestly couldn't see myself with anyone but Niall.

Niall looked up and placed a soft kiss on my nose. "I'm going to kiss you every chance I get," he kissed my cheek and began feathering kisses all over my face after each sentence, "and hold you every chance I get. And spend every second I have with you. Except for when you're at work and Louis would yell at me for hanging around."

"I guess I have to quit tomorrow then," I smirked at him with hooded eyelids, dazed from all his kisses.

I waited until Louis was closing up the shop to break the news to him.

"So, do I still need to give you a notice that I'm quitting like you're a real boss?" I pondered from behind the desk.

"What do you mean like a real boss? I pay you don't I?" Louis murmured from the back room that he was tidying up, "you're quitting? Did you get a new job or something?" he asked as he walked towards the front where I was.

I braced myself before telling him. I despised how disappointed I was making people. I wasn't fully adapted to people giving a shit about me. At least I only really had 2 people to tell.

"Actually I'm moving. To LA."

"What?" Louis gaped.

My chest hurt when I saw the look on his face, similar to Niall's when I announced it to him.

"Well you know what's happening with my mum. And Zayn. It just seems like the better option. I'll be safe and I'll be there to support my mum," I explained.

"When are you going?" he asked, with a glint of hope in his eyes.

"I leave first thing Saturday morning," I said quietly, knowing exactly what reaction he would have.

"This Saturday? Jesus Christ Harry, you're barely giving me any time to spend with one of my best friends," he yelled before his expression softened and he tugged me into a tight hug, "you're such an arse," he whispered. 

"I'm going to miss you," I breathed out.

"I'll miss you more. I'll especially miss you working for me," Louis teased.

"You can replace me with Niall. Give him some work to do."

"I'll only have one friend now. That's got to be a good enough reason for you to stay."

"What about Luke?" I mimicked, "he's a nice guy."

Louis playfully smacked the back of my head before pulling away from the hug.

"So you're really going," he sighed solemnly.

"Yep," I frowned.

"Well that doesn't give us much time."

"For what?"

"For planning your going away party," he cheered.

Of course he would be the one to take the opportunity to throw a party.

"Come on Harry. A little party never killed nobody."
