*Alyssa's P.O.V.

"Are you sure? Because I want you to be one hundred percent ready for something like this." Grant says. It sounds like he's actually trying to get me to stay now. I'm ready to go back Doncaster. Well maybe not Doncaster, at least London.

"What do you not want me to go?"I say jokingly.

"It's not that.. It's just that I thought you'd take more persuading. I'm actually really proud of you."

"Well thank you. Now it's going to take some time before I'm ready to face everyone." I think I'd rather see my parents first rather than anyone else. In all honesty, I more ready for their reaction than anyone else's. I'm not ready for everyone's "How could you do that to Louis" speeches. I was stupid that how.

"Alright, well pack up, and get get some sleep we'll catch the first plane in the morning." He says pulling my suit case out of my closet to find it already mostly packed. He gives me a questionable look.

"It was packed for the first time I was going to leave I just never unpacked it. I have a little bit left to pack but I can finish in the morning." He nods.

"Well just get some sleep. I'll tell my dad you're leaving and I'm going with you." After he leaves my rom I climb into bed immediately being hit with tiredness and fall asleep.

*Flashback*

"Come on, let me introduce you to everyone." Kenny says as we arrive, minutes later. Being the naive girl I am I nod and follow him. He slips his hand in mine, and intertwines our fingers. I begin to pull away feeling uncomfortable.

"Hey, relax. Just go with it, you don't want these guys taking advantage of you do you?"

"No I guess not. But do you really have to-"

"Yes. It's the only way they'll get the idea you're not available." He says pulling me closer the way Louis did. I looked down at my hands and saw the ring on my finger.

'Don't worry Louis, I'm coming home.' I whisper.

"Babe, quite talking to yourself and come on. The fun is just about to begin." He says pulling me along. The more we walk the more sketchy this place becomes.

"Kenny, are you sure we're just going to the skate park?" I question going with my better judgement.

"Yes, trust me. Just follow me." The last time I was in a neighborhood like this was with Louis, but I felt safe. I knew he wouldn't let anything happen to me. I barely know Kenny.

"Um.. Kenny, I really don't feel safe being out here."

"Babe, relax. I'll take good care of you. I've seen your boyfriend, what's his name again?"

"Louis."

"Right. Louis, just think I'm Louis. I'm sure he lived somewhere like this. I'll keep you safe I promise." I nod.

"Okay, I'm trusting you. Don't make me regret it."

"Would I ever?" He chuckles. I laugh along with him. He knows that if something happened to me Grant would have his ass.

"Look, we're here. Just past those tree." He says pointing. There's a group if people waving us over. We pick up our pace and hurry up to them.

"Woah! Who's this hottie?" One of the boys says. After Kenny let's me go and they acknowledge my presence.

"Fuck off Zack! We all know a girl that hot is into other ladies." A girl comes up to me grabbing my hand my kissing it. I move my hand out of her grasp out of awkwardness.
