Louis' Point of View

I continued to cry into Harry's shirt. He's been continuously rubbing circles on my back to calm me down, but it's not working. Skylar's gone. I was too late.

" C'mon Louis. Let's go get your hand checked out, it's beginning to bruise badly. You need to stop punching walls." Harry said.

"But what if she comes back?" I mumbled.

"Lou, I know you want her here with you, but she left. Her plane already took off. You would have seen her here by now if she stayed."

"I don't want to go though. I need her back." 

" Louis, I understand. And you will get her back. But you can't at the moment. She's gone. We need to get you home so you have more time to think." Harry helped me up with him, and began pulling me to the doors. I turned around and took one last look at the spot where she was standing before she left. I imagined her standing there, looking at me. Just once more. But I knew she wasn't there. She was gone, because I was too late.

Skylar's Point of View

He actually came to get me. He tried to comein time to stop me. What for though? Why would someone come after what he did? He cheated, and I don't want to hear any excuses about it. Once a cheater always a cheater.

My plane had just landed, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. I left in such a hurry that I didn't call for anyone to pick me up. I guess I could just call my dad, he'll get me. I pulled out my phone and dialed his number.

"Hello?"

"Hey dad."

"Skylar, how are you?" he asked.

"I'm okay. Could you um go to the airport please?" I replied.

"Skylar, I can't exactly just show up at the airport in Doncaster. It doesn't work that way."

"No, I know. I mean the one in Cincinnati."

"What for?"

"I need a ride."

"You're in Ohio?!" 

"Yeah..." I trailed off. 

"I'll be there soon." he said. I grabbed my bags and walked through the airport to the front doors. It only took my dad about 20 minutes, to get here. He pulled up out front, and I walked to his car, and put my things in the trunk. I got into the car, and we headed back for home. 

"So, what made you come here, without telling me?" I can't tell him about that..He'll never let me go back, to see my mum.

"Well, I...."

Louis' Point of View

I walked out of the hospital back to Niall's car. (Last chapter, it was Niall's car that they took to the airport.) I guess he was right my hand did need to be checked out. 

"So, what you do to it?" Harry asked.

"Fractured my hand, and broke two fingers." I replied.

"Jesus Louis! You've got to stop hitting things, before you do something worse!" 

"I know." I mumbled. "Can we just go home now?" 

"Yes Louis, we're going." Niall replied.  We drove off to the house. I laid my head against the window,  I let a tear fall before finally drifting off into some sleep.

"Louis! Wake up! We're at your house!" Zayn yelled. I slowly began to wake up.

"What?" I asked in a tired voice.

"We're at your house c'mon." Reality hit me.  She's gone and I'm stuck here, without her. I climbed out of the car and walked inside. When I walked in, everyone turned to look at me. I rolled my eyes at them, and began walking upstair's.

I walked into my room, ready to just go back to bed and sleep the pain away. Though, that wasn't going to happen so soon. I walked closer to my bed. And noticed Skylar's matching shirt, yes cheesy I know but we we're having fun that day, laying on my bed. Along with a few other things I had bought her.  I reached up and wiped my tears away. She's left everything, to forget about me.

The thing that hurt me the most was when I looked at my pillow, and saw her locket. She never takes it off, it's always with her. She even wore it throughout the years that she hated me, yet she left it this time. 

I laid down on my bed, looking at the locket. All the memories from the pictures in it came flooding back into my mind. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket indicating a new notification from Facebook. I opened up the familiar app and looked at my notifications. It was an alert showing that Skylar had changed her status. 'Skylar Edwards went from being in a relationship to single.' . I scrolled through the updates on here, and noticed her latest status. 

' Being your best friend was a choice of mine, but falling in love with you was beyond my control. And one big mistake.'  

I was wrong. I wasn't broke when she thought I cheated, or when she left, or when I was too late, or when I found her things in my room, or when I found her locket, or when she changed her relationship status. I was broken now, when I found out she believes our entire love was a mistake. 

I looked at the locket, entwined between my fingers. I looked at the picture of us holding hands and ran my thumb over it, letting the tears fall freely. All before drifting off into sleep once again.
