Baby even when we're miles apart,
You'll always stay inside my heart.
Let me tell you no one else will do,
'Cause baby nothing feels like you.

Melanie's P.O.V:

I stare at the choice of dresses my friends have chosen for me. I imediately call Lottie and wait for her to answer, as soon as she receives her call I scream.

"Lottie, are you serious? Do you seriously think I'm going to wear one of them?" I say, staring at the dresses lying on my bed. Two of them are white and red, which barely reach my knees and strapless. The other one is black, with sequins on it's sleeves and is below my knees.

"What? They are beautiful, especially the red one. You'll look great in it, I chose the red one for you. Stop protesting, and wear it like a normal teenage girl." She says, and I hold the dress in front of me, checking it out. No, seriously not my type. All of them are seriously not what I would wear anywhere in public. But I guess, I have no choice. Maybe the black one is good.

"Better not wear the black one, I don't even know why Waliyha bought it for you. You already have tons of black clothes." She says, and I groan. Why can't people let me wear black clothes? I still don't understand them.

"It is the only dress which is decent, and I'm wearing it, otherwise I won't come. Tell your brother that I'll be waiting for him, inform me when he reaches." I say, ending the call and hold the black dress in front of me. It is pretty but I don't wear dresses, so it's going to be awkward for me. I glance at the clock and notice the time. I still have a lot of time to get ready for Liam's birthday party. I put the dresses on a side and lay on my bed, with my phone in my hands.

To Mr. Know It All:
You're coming right?

I text Zayn and wait for his reply. It's been two weeks since Zayn and Suzanne broke up and he again broke Nolan's nose, but I wasn't the reason this time. We pretty much have same classes together and we barely fight now. He also apologised to Louis for his behaviour earlier and everything seems fine now, except the fact that he's quiet now. He doesn't talk to anyone much now. He barely laughs or smiles. He looks miserable, his eyes look restless and hurt. No matter how much I tried to stop him, he still smokes. He seems to block everyone, just enagages himself in studies as he still remembers our bet.

From Mr. Know It All:
Yeah Liam will kill me if I dont come. What about u?

I smile when I see his text and reply to him, quickly.

To Mr. Know It All:
Coming but I have three dresses in front of me and Im kinda confused over here what to wear. You wont get it lol

From Mr. Know It All:
Wear the black dress.

I squint my eyes in confusion when I read his text. How does he know about the black dress? I lift my head and look around my room, suspiciously. He can't be here, but how does he know about it. I text him in confusion, asking how does he know about the dress, and wait for his reply, biting my lip.

From Mr. Know It All:
I chose it for you.

My eyes widen in surprise and a smile finds it way on my lips. I should've guessed it at the first place, because Waliyha said that she had to buy this dress forcefully. I pick up the dress and walk to my full length mirror. I Admire the dress, it is beautiful but I'm not sure if I should wear it or not. I walk back to my bed with the never ending smile from my face and type a reply to him.

To Mr. Know It All:
Thank it I love you. :)

My eyes widen and I scream when I notice the text I sent him. I quickly type another reply and send it to him.

To Mr. Know It All:
I meant; Thank you I love it.

I groan and put my phone on the side and in the mean time, my sister barges in my room, jumping around. She runs towards me and engulfs me in a hug, squealing in my ears. I pull back from the hug and stare at the big grin plastered all over my sister's face. I squint my eyes in confusion and before I can say anything, she again squeals. I put my hand over her mouth and she removes it, taking deep breathes calming herself.

"Melanie, I am getting married. Ron proposed me!" She squeals, jumping up from my bed and my eyes widen. I quickly jump from my bed and hug her while our squeals can be heard from China as well. She and Ron, her boyfriend have been in a relationship since they were in college, and I can't express how happy I am for my elder sister. She deserves all the happiness in this world, and I'm happy she has Ron by her side.

"Are you kidding me? Oh my god, I'm so happy for you!" I squeal and we both jump in my room like five year olds. Soon I notice tears in her eyes, and I wrap my arms around her. Seeing those tears, brought tears in my eyes as well, but these were happy tears. I kiss her cheek and pull back from the hug, while she smiles at me.

"When are you getting married, Mrs. Ron Stans?" I ask her, wiping my tears away and she blushes at the name. She sits on my bed, pulling me along with her and takes a deep breathe before talking.

"End of this month," she says and my mouth and eyes wide open in surprise. I can't believe that it's happening. I'm really happy for her but suddenly it hits me that she would be leaving me in less than a month. I smile, again engulfing her in a hug, and she wraps her arms around me. I try to control my sniffle, but she hears it somehow.

"Ugh.. I am really happy for you but I hate the part where you will be leaving me." I say, chuckling and she pulls back, wiping my tears away. She kisses my forehead and smiles at me, with tears in her eyes as well. After Serene and Barry, she is my only hope. She is the person who understands me, knows about everything and the person from whom I can't hide anything. It will be difficult for me when she leaves me as well. But she has to start her own family and I have to be happy for her rather than feeling sad that she'll leave.

"Me too, I'll miss you a lot. But right now, I'm here with you. Also, I need to get you ready for Liam's party, so get your lazy ass up and, wait, what are you wearing?" She says, looking at my dresses and I point towards the black dress. She huffs and shakes her head at the colour, making me pout. As soon as I inform her who bought the dress, her eyes widen and she agrees for me to wear it. I chuckle at her and head towards the toilet, getting changed in the black dress with black tights. She gasps when I come out of the toilet and her eyes travel all around me.

"Oh. My. God. You look so incredible in this!" She squeals and I nervously bite my lip. I begin to walk towards the full length mirror, but she stops me, making me confused. She pulls me to my bed and makes me sit, bringing tons of make up products in front of me. I warn her not to make me look like a witch but she smacks me on the head and tells me to stay quiet.

Twenty minutes later, I'm still stuck on the same place, not allowed to even move an inch. Whenever I whine she smacks me on my head and tells me to stay quiet. I'm seriously irriated now, which makes me groan loudly.

"Okay, enough is enough. I can't sit like this any more. Let me see what you did to m-" my eyes widen and jaw drops when I look at myself in the mirror. She gave me a little bit of smokey eye shades, mascara, eyeliner, light pink lipgloss and slightly curled my straight here. They aren't exactly curled, just some natural waves. She comes from behind and hands me her black heels, I take them from her without shifting my gaze from the mirror. I really look good, but it's not me. The dress and make up. I never dress up like this, but if the look is good, I shouldn't be complaining. I take a seat on my bed and try to wear the heels, I know I can't argue with her on this because she'll kill me with her death glares.

As soon as I wear my heels, I hear Louis' car honk outside my window. I thank my sister for the makeover and stare at my self in the mirror nervously, for the last time before heading towards Louis' car.

"Woah! Are you the same Melanie Philips who is my girlfriend?" He ask beaming as he steps forward to peck my lips. We pull back and I look at him nervously.

"Louis wipe the lipgloss off of your lips!" My sister yells from the door way, making us embarrassed. I turn my head towards her and give her the most dirtiest look ever to shut up. Louis chuckles and waves at her, getting inside the car with me.

Do I look extremely different? Don't I look good? The questions keep playing in my head, when Louis stops the car after a while and stares at me. I smile at him and narrow my eyebrows in confusion. He asks me to turn over and I again look at him in confusion, doing what he says. I suddenly feel a cold metal on my neck, making me look below. He gives me a light kiss on my temple and scoots back. I smile, staring at the beautiful silver pendant, with my name initials on it. I turn my head and look at him, smiling.

"You look really beautiful, you always do. I hope you like this." He says, pointing at the pendant and I nod, moving forward and smashing my lips on his. Before it can turn into a make out session, we pull back because we are in the middle of road.

"I love it, thank you baby." I say, smiling and admire my gift.

"What did you call me?" He asks and I look up at him. My cheeks begin to heat up and I look away from him quickly.

"Uh.. Lou boo." I say, trying to hide my smile and stare out of the window.

"No, you said something else... you said baby." He says and I look at the grin on his face.

"I did? Um.. autocorrect." I say, chuckling nervously.

He laughs before speaking, "We're having a verbal conversation, Mel."

"But I like it, you can call me that." He says, laughing at me, and I feel my cheeks burn. I laugh at how foolish I can be sometimes and before he can start the car again, he hands me a shopping bag.

"Now what is this? Louis, you need to stop giving me things." I say, looking at him and chuckles, pointing at the bag, motioning for me to look inside.

I open the bag, and take out another painted stone like before, with some new wordings written on it, this time.

Your eyes were the reason, I drowned.

As soon as I read it, I couldn't help the smile and heat on my cheeks. I again thank him and stop him from making me blush in every second, which makes him laugh.

"So what is this now? Our thing, these stones? They are beautiful by the way." I say, admiring my gifts and he chuckles, his eyes never leaving me.

"I thought it's unique so yeah," he says and I again thank him for the beautiful gifts. He starts the car again and the whole drive to Liam's place goes really great, with him making me blush and I doing stupid things in front of him, making him crack up at me. Louis and I have gotten really close in the past two weeks, and our relationship is something I look forward to.

We soon reach Liam's house and I can hear the loud music coming from inside, making me nervous. I don't usually go to parties, but because it's my friend's birthday, I had to come. I'm one of those girls who like to stay in their pajamas at their home with books in their hands, while the other people go partying. We hop off the car and entwine our hands together, heading inside Liam's house. The dim lights, loud music, crazy teenagers, just by looking at them, it makes my head dizzy. I clutch his hands tighter and he assures me that he'll stay by my side the whole time. I nod and smile at him.

I quickly spot Hazel and Lottie in the corner, with Waliyha and Zayn who seem to argue about something. We walk towards them, and I can feel their eyes on me, making me more nervous. By their, I mean his. His eyes widen a bit, and travel from my heels to my hair, noticing every detail, making me extremely nervous. I leave Louis' hand, where as he goes to meet Zayn and I meet the girls who squeal after seeing me. I wonder if he likes this look.

"Oh my God, Melanie! You look so gorgeous." They squeal, and I smile at them. From the corner of my eyes, I notice his eyes still on me. I look around for Louis and find him with Liam who is on the other side of the room.

"You guys look really stunning." I say, shifting my gaze back at them, and they grin like five year olds.

Hazel is dressed in a white strapless dress, barely reaching her knees. Where as, Lottie is dressed in a light pink dress, which has streps and reaches her thighs, and Waliyha is wearing a maroon skirt blouse which perfectly fits her. They leave for the snack bar, where as I stay back. I walk towards him, and nervously smile. His eyes never leave me, he stares at me with a blank expression, before parting his lips to speak. To be honest, I'm waiting for him to say something, anything about my look.

"It..it suits you." He says, and I look up at him, moving the hair strand behind my ear, shyly. It's just a simple compliment, but it still manages to heat up my cheeks and bring butterflies in my stomach.
