My Life With 5 Attractive Guys

He's Leaving

Hi! Me again. I just want to say that this hasn't been the best day and I may not have alot of reads, but it always makes me happy to look at this and write and read my earlier chapters. I just want to say thank you to those people who have read this. It may not be the best story, but it's mine, and I love it. So, here's the latest.

****************************************************************************************************

Well, I hate that memory. I can't stop sobbing when I think of that. I may not be the prettiest or the skinniest, but I can't believe people would tell me that. Just because someone, probably one of them, started a rumour about me dating Lou! I love that kid, yeah, but he is my brother! Never, in a million years would I date him! Ever. I want to remember something else. Anything else! How about when he told me he was auditioning the next year. I like that one. A little sad, but it's a good memory.

*Flashback*

It was my 18th birthday. And I was going to spend the whole day with Louis! We were going to have a sleepover, like we do for everyone of my birthdays. We can't on his birthday, as it's Christmas Eve. He runs in, uninvited, as always. He has a little blue box in his hand and is wearing his signature stripes and suspenders combo. He looks great, except that his hair is a mess and his eyes are bloodshot. 

"Baby Boo! What's wrong?" I ask him, concern riddling my voice.

He looks at me and smiles. His eyes are still red, but he tries to hide it.

"I'm just really exited for today!" He exclaimes, hugging me so tight that I can't breathe.

"Let me go Lou! I can't breathe!" I gasp.

"Oops, sorry. Let's get to the party!" He yells. God, such a noisy boy.

"Louis," I say cautiously.

"Yeah?" He replies, like nothing is wrong, even though he knows that I know him better than that.

"Spill it. I know something is wrong. Now, what the fuck is the matter?!" I yell at him. I've had enough of him doing this. He's been so distant and upset lately. He hasn't been as crazy, he doesn't jump up and down at the mention of a carrot, he hasn't even talked to me for two days before yesterday. I can't believe him. I look right at him, and he bursts out sobbing.

"Baby Boo, what's wrong? Please stop crying," I say, running up to hug him and attempt to comfort him.

"I can't leave you Can-opener, I can't! I won't!" He continues sobbing. He hasn't used that nickname since we were both going on seperate vacations for a month. We thought we wouldn't see each other, because our parents weren't telling us where we were going. We ended up on the same island and got to hang out everyday, just like always. Why would he be leaving me?

"It's alright, Steak-Sauce. Just tell me, from the beginning," I say.

"Okay. You know how I've always wanted to audition for the X-Factor, right? Well, I finally got the chance. I filled out an application form. I get to audition. Next year. But I can't leave you. I can't leave for who knows how long without my little Izzy. I can't. I won't," He says. I look at him, tears forming in my eyes. 

"Why are you so concerned right now? It's a year away. Listen, we'll just enjoy our time together until you have to leave. Okay?" I say, tears dripping down my face.

"Okay, I'll try. Here, I got you this," He says, wiping his eyes.

I open the box to find the most beautiful cross necklace I have ever seen! Each point is a loop instead of a straight line. It's made out of silver and has black jewels coating it. It's absolutely gorgeous! (A/N A picture of the necklace is to the right. P.S. It's my necklace. The jewels are fake, but are real in the story, for effect.) 

"It's the most beautiful peice of jewelry I have ever seen Lou! I love it! But it looks so expensive. You didn't have to spend so much on me," I say. I'm always worrying about how much money he spends on me. 

"Please, it's your birthday! You're 18! I wanted you to have something special! And, you love it! So, you're keeping it. Here," He says as he turns me around so he can put the necklace on me. I love this guy, but he can't save money for his life. How did he get enough to pay for this?

"How did you get enough for the necklace? You can't save a dime for more than a day," I say, matter of factly.

"Well, I had my mum help me save. She took all the money I got from work and didn't give me any allowance until I had more than enough to buy the necklace. I really wanted to get it for you. I knew it would be perfect," He says, looking at me. I can see tears well up in his eyes.

"I love you so much Lou!" I yell as I pull him into a bear hug. I can't stand to let him see me cry. And right now, I could fill a bucket with the tears.

"Hey, hey, it's all alright, Katie. Don't cry," He says, wiping my eyes.

"I just don't know how I'll hold up without you," I whisper.

"I promise, I'll be back before you know it. I'll never leave you for too long. I can't stand not being around you for 2 hours, how am I going to last if I make it on to the actual part of the show?"

"You'll be strong, just like I will be," I say, trying to reassure him. It's his dream, he has to go for it.

"Can-opener?"

"Yeah, Steak-Sauce?" I say.

"Will you come with me to auditions? And if I make it through, I'll get you tickets to every single show. I need you there!" He begs. What? Am I supposed to say no? I don't think so!

"Absolutely! I'd love to!" I exclaim! I love that kid. He's so sweet and generous.

"It's settled then. We're going to X-Factor next year!" He yelled.

"What are we going to do until then?" I giggled.

"I guess we just have to party everyday! Just like old times."
