Lily's P.O.V.
"Lily?" A voice startled me, I quickly turned my head to the side, seeing James standing in front of me, smiling from ear to ear, I kindly returned the gesture as he leaned down and brought me into an embrace. I felt a bit uncomfortable but wrapped my hands around him nonetheless.
"How have you been?" He asked, placing his skate board by the side of the bench before siting beside me.
Crap.
"Alright" I replied, thinking how easy it is for me just to say a lie. But then again, I lie on my behalf and to not get myself into more trouble with Dad.
"Yourself?" I asked him back the question. Actually genially interested in what he had to say to me.
"I've been good thanks" He sent me a toothy grin.
"That's good" I said slowly nodding my head, feeling the air get stiff around us and for some odd reason, I felt awkward to be in his presence.
"Yep... So how's school going?" He asked with a soft tone to his voice. I wasen't sure if he was genially interested how I was at school or whenever he was just trying to brake the awkwardness between us. Either way, It's better than sat in uncomfortable silence.
"It actually wasen't too bad" I said being honest, sure people still picked on me but having Lily by my side made the school experience a whole lot better. Plus, she wasen't afraid to snap back at them, which I won't lie, is highly amusing.
"That's great"He replied sending me a cute smile showing of his pearl white teeth making a smile creep onto my face as well.
Suddenly guilt washed over me as I remembered our last time in the park. I had to apologize for our last encounter here and how I just ran out on him.
"Look" I sighted. "I'm sorry for just running out on you like that last time we hung out, I'm sorry. I've got-
"Hey it's okay, no worries" His voice spoke up, I looked up from my lap into his sky blue eyes, his mesmerizing eyes, the way they sparkled with joy, the way they perfectly reflect everything outside and how his thick long eyelashes finishing of the look. I couldn't help but stare at him, adoring his face.
Suddenly his lips pulled into a cheeky smile, one dimple appearing in his left cheek, making me bob my head down in embarasment as he caught me checking him out.
Way to go.
I heard him laugh slightly at me and I just sent him a smile.
Before my mind processed anything, James abruptly shot up, circling my his arm round my wrist, and started dragging me into the unknown.
"James" I called.
"James, where are we going?" I asked once again, he stopped making me clash into his chest, blood filled my cheeks as I realized our faces were only centimeters apart.
"It's a surprise" He whispered huffing out hot breath onto my face, his lips brushing against my ear.
Cheeky bastard.
He did that on purpose.
He pulled away sending a smirk towards me before dragging me of again somewhere.
I kept tripping over my feet, nearly face planting the floor on numerous occasions.
After loads of questioning, tripping, falling over and once again falling over we made it to our, well I mean his 'secret' destination.
I gaped. This place was beautiful. We were further into the forest, a clear lake in front of us which seemed to extend quite a bit on, I noticed two swings hanging of the branch beside us, I'm guessing they were used to get over the lake onto the other land.
I smiled, this place was honestly simply beautiful. It was like a little out of bound destination not many people went too.
"I always come hang out in here, if it's really cold in winter and the water turns to ice, I'll go ice skating near the land, just to be on the safe side, and I guess you can guess I swim in here in the summer, it's great fun" He explained, I just smiled, I definitely want to show the boys this place, they'll love it.
"Thank you for bringing me here" I spoke, looking over towards him, a smile tugging at my lips.
"No problem" He said shoving his long arms into his pockets.
"Come on I need to show you the best part" He said running over to the swing, placing himself on it. "Coming? Or are you just going to stand there" He said sending me a cheeky grin. I just shook my head and walked towards the swing opposite him.
"On 3, we swing over alright?" I heard his voice ring in my ears.
"1.."
"Wait James will-
"2..." He said grabbing my swing, and I caught on he is going to push me with him. Oh noo. No. No. Nooo.
"JAM-
"3..." He cheered and as soon as he spoke,he pushed us both forwards, sending us flying across the lake.
The impact of the wind threw my hair back and I automatically shut my eyes, too scared to see myself sat on a swing swinging across a lake I could easily fall in.
I heard James cheer beside me as I felt someone tug on my swing, it suddenly stopping.
I slowly opened my eyes seeing James standing in front of me holding onto my swing so I can get off.
I quickly hopped off the swing letting out a shaky breath a little bit shaken up, I have never done something like that before.
"You'll get used to it, first time is always the worst" He spoke whilst he started walking forwards, I trailed on behind him as the land here was quite slim, and me being the clumsy one, was already getting images of me falling into the lake.
As we walked we began getting surrounded by more trees, the sun fighting it's way through, making beams of light appear in the forest, I smiled at the sight it was truly beautiful. Nature is always the key to a good mood. It's so naturally beautiful.
"Here" He said whilst stopping near a somewhat big tree. I followed his gaze to find a cute little tree house making an excited smile appear on my face.
"Me and my Dad built it when I was about 10" He spoke and began climbing the steps which were carefully nailed into the tree, they looked stable so I began climbing after James.
Once I got to the top, the little tree house looked even better than before. He had a little cute red carpet lay-ed out onto the floor, with a little nightlight and a sofa and oh my god he has a mini fridge in a tree house?
"You have a mini fridge?" I asked he just nodded his head.
"I store some food up here" He replied to my question.
He went into the left corner of the room and I only then realized he had a little heater set up in there. I automatically smiled as it was getting quite chilly.
"My Dad was an electronic, so he plugged everything in" I nodded my head, that makes sense now, at least a little.
"This place is sick" I commented while sitting down next to him on his black couch covered with multiple of colourful blankets.
"Yeah I keep loads of crap in that cupboard over there" He pointed towards a cupboard which I somehow didn't even see before.
Harry's P.O.V.
"Harry" I heard my name being called, I quickly shouted back a what whilst scrolling through twitter.
"Get yo arse down here" I sighted once I locked my phone throwing in onto my bed and walking out of my room, running down the stairs wondering what Liam wants from me right now.
"Yeah?" I questioned as I walked into the living room. To my surprise everyone was already in there, looking as confused as probably I am right now.
"What's up?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows together, Liam just shook his head and pointed to the empty seat next to Zayn. Silently telling me to sit down.
"Alright guys" Liam started clapping his hands together, fiddiling with his thumbs.
He sighted. "We have to go back to London" He spoke, sympathy visible in his voice.
I suddenly felt the air running out from my lungs, I felt like I was beimg punched numerous times in my stomach, getting wouded each time.
"Are you being serious?" I asked, sighting, letting a frown set on my face.
I can't just leave Lily alone again, she'll hate me even more and as we were getting closer to eachover, repairing our realtionship and she was getting more comefortable with us as each day passed, and now what? we are just going to leave?
"I'm sorry haz, but the managment want us down in London, to do promos and interviews and stuff" He explained and I just rested my head in my hands.
"I thought we had a brake till Christmas?" Louis voice chimed in.
"Yeah, I thought that too, but apparently it's urgent and we have to leave like, now" all my emotion drained out of my face. Now?
"Now? What? Why? Liiiaammm-
"I'm sorry Haz but we have to go pack" He said standing up leaving of to get packed. He left me and the boys sat on the couch still trying to compromise what just happened.
Once it all sunk in everyone ran to their rooms to get packed.
However I couldn't do anything right now now. I knew that I would have to leave suddenly and Lily would come home to find me gone.
She will never forgive me.
I sighted to myself as I forced myself off the couch slowly walking upstairs and into my room, trying to ignore the guilt growing inside of me.
After about 30 minutes of packing everything, we were all downstairs, hugging my mum, Dad and gemma goodbye.
"Bye Harry be good" My mum whispered as she hugged me tightly, I nodded and told her to take care of herself. She quickly wiped the tear away from her cheek that escaped her eye, making me frown.
I know this was all so sudden, but nonetheless I hated seeing my mum cry.
"Harry, God, I'll miss you" I heard Gemma speak into my ear, wrapping her arms around me, I din't think twice before hugging her back
I smiled cheekily at her. "I'll seeyou in a month for Christmas" I spoke trying to lighten her mood aswell as mine.
A month isn't so long right?
"Bye son" My father brought me into a mam hug.
"Take care" He said sending me a proud smile, I kindly returned the gesture as I stepped back, waving and shouting back towards my family, I watched as they all stood at the door and waved goodbye.
I waved one last time before getting into the car, letting sorrow and guilt wash over me.
I hated myself for not even telling Lily goodbye in person, she's probably never going to want to speak to me again when she finds the house empty.
"Harry it's okay, she'll understand" Louis said placing his hand on my shoulder as if he read my mind. I just shook my head as I placed my head on the window watching the scenery pass as we drove out of my neighborhood.
I felt terrible for leaving her like that, I knew she needed me, I knew she needed a family right now, she needed that the most, and here I am driving away from her, not being able to see her for awhole month. I just hope she won't hate me, I hope she'll understand.
I hope she'll forgive me one day...
Lily's P.O.V.
"Yeah, okay, bye, thanks for a great time" I said waving James off as we parted our different ways home.
I acctually felt as if my life was improving a bit by bit, Lily appeared in my life, and she backs me up against my bullies something I would have never had the guts to do.
And then there's James, he's so lovely and caring and hangs out with me so I guess that's good.
And finally Harry and I are slowly getting along better, I try to trust him, but it's hard when the ones I trusted most always stabbed me straight in the back. However I always push that thought out of the way, telling myself Harry wouldn't do that.
And me and the boys we are getting along better too. Obviously nothing is picture perfect, my Dad is getting re-married to my mum, and the abuse goes on, but I have a feeling Harry can pull me through this.
It's a long journey, bit I hope one day I will be able to say those words.
"I've made it"
*
I quickly pushed the door open, throwing my shoes off, while kicking them to the side, not particulary bothered to put them nicely side by side like my mum always tells me too.
I quickly walked into the living room, finding it empty, making me furrow my eyebrows together.
It's 6:30, Louis always watches TV at this time, he never seemed to miss a day either.
I just shrugged the tought off as I ran into my room, I guess they've gone out somewhere.
I quickly face planted my bed, feeling the welcoming auroa my room was giving off. The warm;cozy feeling wrapped around me making me want to fall asleep right here, right now.
I quickly nuzzeled my face deeper into my pillow, unexpectantly feeling something crumple underneath my face.
I quickly pulled away, finding a hand written note with my name on the front of it.
I crossed my legs together as I began reading over, not really preparing for what was wrote in that letter.
Lily, I'm so, so, so sorry. We had to leave straight away, we have to go to London for the rest of the month until Christmas, and Lily I'm so sorry I left without a good bye, it kills me to know your sat reading this right now, alone, with out me by your side. But please Lily, don't hate me, I'm sorry. We had no time and you know how how strict this buisness is.
But Lily, just call me whenever you want, it's a month love, You need me, I'm just a call away. Just please be strong I'm sorry I just left you, but I had no choice and as you are sat reading this now, I'd like to say I love you, with all my heart and soul, you're my little Lily and will always be. Forever and ever.
I love you sweetie,
Love H xxxxxxxx
I stared at the note in front of me, my mouth a gape.
They left.
Gone.
I told you they would leave. My subcouncious told me, making me feel stupid that I ever thought they would always be here.
Of course they would leave, your brother is a superstar Lily, he doesn't have time for you, I said to myself the words I used to say all the time, I just hoped this time would be different.
As much as I hated to admit it, Harry and the boys helped me stay strong.
And why did I thought they would be different and never leave me?
Everyone has, everyone will.
I let out a shaky breath as tears rolled down my cheeks.
I was now just alone and I was already dreading the month ahead.

Hi my fellow fellonies.
Thank you for reading, and guess what? The perks of having a 4 year old sister is that you have to babysit her for all your half terms because your parents are at dam work.
That put me of for having kids. Forever. Bit they are still adorably cute but only For like an hour.
I'm so dead tired so if there is like a word I spelt so bad, blame my sister. She's too energetic.
Anyways all spelling mistakes will be corrected tomorrow when I'm done babysitting.
Love you all, thank you for reading; voting;following and commenting♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆
