"Hey, mate, cheer up for once! Let's go out tonight!" Louis exclaimed as he plopped down on the couch next to me. It had been exactly one month since we parted ways, Mena and I, and I've been a little depressed. I haven't seen her in so long, and it was killing me! The lads were also sad since they fessed up to having relationships with Mena's friends, but I couldn't really say it was surprising. They were all pretty close on the way home and such. 

Louis and Sharanya, the famous girlfriend we had never met until then, had apparently had a fight but in the end they had grown even closer. Niall and Charisse, well they were best friends and nobody thought anything else was going on, but it turned out they both loved each other a lot. Liam had met Vicki at a concert I had missed, and they fell in love (so cheesy right?). Then, Zayn met Nicole at a Masquerade Ball and they both fell head over heels for each other. 

Wow, I felt so damn left out! Everyone was so happy and in love, it made me want to throw up! I was angry and sad...I didn't even have Mena's number! I sighed, getting up and heading to the kitchen for a snack. "Nah, I'm good...I don't feel like partying right now," I told Louis, who was currently heading for the fridge, probably for some ice cream. "Pass me some, I feel like burying my sorrow in ice cream," I said solemnly. 

"Aw, buddy, don't be like that! You'll see her again, loverboy!" Louis snickered as he walked out of the kitchen. 

"Shut. Up. Louis!" I growled. 

I sat down on the sofa across from Louis' chair, turning on the TV. We were watching Finding Nemo when Zayn and Niall came and plopped down on either side of me. they had goofy grins on their faces, meaning something was afoot in those tiny brains of theirs. I sighed. "What do you want?" 

"We have a little surprise for you!" Zayn exclaimed. 

"Ooh, you're gonna be so happy!" Niall was practically jumping up and down in his seat. 

"Now?" Zayn asked. 

"Yeah, yeah!" Niall said excitedly. 

Zayn pulled a slip of paper from his pocket, slowly and dramatically. I rolled my eyes. "What is it?!" 

He handed me the paper and I stared down at it. Ok, it was a number...now what? 

"Ta da!" Niall shouted. 

"What am I supposed to do with this?" I was very confused. What the hell was wrong with them? 

"It's Mena's number, silly!" Niall exclaimed. 

"What?! Oh, my God!" I didn't know what to do or feel. "Where did you even get this?!" 

"Oh, I just asked Nicole! It was pretty easy, I have no idea why we didn't think of it before!" Zayn grinned. 

"So...now what?" I asked. 

"Um, you call her? Duh!" Niall said. 

"But, what would I say? We haven't seen each other in a month!" I was freaking out! 

All of us, including Louis, just sat there thinking. Suddenly, I had a brilliant idea. I mean, I had thought of it before, on the island! "You guys! I got it! Oh, my Lord, this is so exciting!" 

"Well, spit it out already, lad!" Louis said anxiously. 

"So on the island, I was thinking about stuff...you know, for reasons...so anyway, I wanted to take her on a picnic, and I thought...I would tell her how I felt..." I muttered the last part, not really wanting to emphasize it since the boys would just make fun of me. 

"That's a great idea, mate! Look we'll help you set it all up too! It's about time you admitted your feelings for her too." Zayn winked, grinning. I looked down at the slip again. 

"Go on, call her! Tell her to meet you at...Central Park! Yeah, that's a good picnic place!" Louis, Zayn, and Niall started talking amongst themselves about making plans and such. I got up and walked to my room, clutching my phone and the slip of paper in my hand, working up the courage to call the girl I loved.
