2 months later...

Considering where we left from, I'm guessing you definitely have a few questions.

Well, since Louis and I became real, we....

Spent the whole summer together, went on trips around the world, Louis spent most of his nights at my house where we played board games until three in the morning.

We did all of that before he left to film a new movie and still don't have a clue what it's about.

Well, while he was busy filming, I started doing things that relied on my future. Like―working on the impressive college resume that I would use to apply to universities that are most likely―in the United States.

Also, I've been pretty committed to stuff like joining this Junior Designer's team at my Aunt Julie's office. I even volunteered at a local nursing home near school and lastly, I joined the student government as president. Anything and everything to make my application entirely rejection proof.

I guess that's it.

Moving on, today is my first day of senior year. Louis decided to bring me to school for the last time before he goes shooting.

He's on half term so he's most likely at home or onset.

"First day!" I squeal. "See you after school, Aunt Julie!"

"Bye! Love you, Sunny!" My aunt yells from the kitchen.

Midway to the door, it opened itself revealing a man whom I already why he is here.

"Oh, Mr. Morales." I greeted.

He looks inside closely. "Is your aunt here...?"

"Uhm, yeah. She is." I said, peeking in the kitchen where Aunt Julie was. "Come in. I gotta go to school."

I jump in Louis's car and he gives me a quick peck on the cheek. "Good morning."

"Good morning."

Once we arrived at school, I go down and give Louis a huge hug.

In this bright morning light, the sun warms on Louis' perfect brown hair like a halo, and suddenly I'm struck by the visceral memory of loving him and not being able to see him from afar, ardently.

I so admire his perfectly slender hands, the slope of his jawline. And God, I do not want to be that girl but he's just so...perfect.

"Do you really have to go?" I pout.

"I'm sorry I'm leaving you like this," Louis says. "I'll be back before you know it."

"Oh." He pauses with a bit more enthusiasm. "Today's set is just an hour away from here."

"We could get dinner or tea after. What do you say?"

"I'd love that." I smiled.
