I looked wide eyed at the box and slowly lifted the box upright, putting in a couple fallen envelopes. Shocked, I silently walked out and went to the living room, collapsing on the couch. I stared into emptiness, thinking.

I didn't open that box, but I couldn't have opened it when I knocked it over. The shoe box has one of those tight tops that take more strength to open. Plus, it was out in the open, so someone must have looked at it recently. Did Louis look at it recently? Did he read them after he left my room yesterday?

The door creaked and opened, showing a disheveled Harry. I raised an eyebrow at his appearance.

"What happened to you? Run into a rabid chimpanzee?" I asked, chuckling. His clothes were crinkled, his curly hair all over the place, his shoes in his hand, his bow tie, upside down, his blazer over his arm and top buttons of his white shirt unbuttoned. His eyes had purple bags underneath him and he looked, not the best.

"I'm going into the shower."He mumbled, rubbing his head.

"Amen." I cheered, wrinkling my nose at his smell. He shuffles past me, looking tired and worn out. He better not become sick either. Oh that reminds me--

"Louis' sick, so be quiet and don't bother him!" I called after Harry, getting a grunt and an almost-slam of a door in response. I roll my eyes, smirking and turn back to facing the blank TV and sink back into the couch.

I've been in London for three days and nothing really has happened. I think we're going to Paris to film a music video for one of our songs while the boys are going there to do some shows that we are also opening. I think we're leaving there in a week. I was excited, I've never been there. It's the city of love and city of lights. Maybe I'll get some luck in the love department. Tommie has called and said she's just going to meet us in Paris.

I scratch my forehead and hop up from the couch in disgust, realizing that myself, reek. I walk over to the bathroom and rap on it loudly.

"Hurry up!" I called to Harry who was on the other door.

"Calm down Mother Teresa, I just got in " His irritated words rang out. I shook my head at myself realizing he was right I sit down, groaning and wait outside the bathroom door.

--------------------------------

I was now dressing in sweats and a T-shirt, my wet hair in a braid and smelling as fresh as a blueberry as Harry likes to put it. I smile to myself as I walk back to the living room, surprised to see a whole group of people sitting there.

"Oh, um, hi," I smiled at the boys and Tiarne. Niall, Zayn, Liam and Harry sat around either eating, talking or watching TV, mostly doing all of them at the same time.

Messy boys.

After that thought I hear an almost zombie-like groan from behind me and I turn around to see Lou stumbling and clutching his stomach, feeling the walls.

"I'm just going to check on sick boy back there. I think he's about to hurl." I say, walking into the hallway, not missing the disgusted looks they gave me. I heard my guess become correct and I help Louis back into his bed, laying his down and tucking the duvet and sheets tightly around him.

"Need anything?" I ask, pulling a desk chair beside the bed and sitting in it. He shakes his head and shivers in the covers. I give him a small smile, "Want some chicken soup?"

"N-nope."

I sit quietly, watching Louis, his back to me as he laid in a ball, facing the other direction. I look up bored, but feel guilty about leaving him. I start counting how many times the ceiling fan spun then realized Lou was cold so I should probably turn it off. I get up and click the switch by his bedroom door, the fan slowing to a stop.

"Thanks." He mumbled. I nodded my head in response even though he couldn't see me. I sit back in my chair and tilt my head back, resting it on the back of the chair. I close my eyes and take in a deep breath, crossing my arms and putting feet on the bed.

"Do you know why I broke up with you?" He whispered. I barely caught it, but I was able to catch it and when I did, my heart costricted and I tensed. I could remember it like it was yesterday.

-----------FLASHBACK----------------

I smiled when I picked up my phone, answering Lou's call. "Hey Lou! What's going on?" I asked, cheerfully. There was a slight hesitation on the other line, confusing me. "Louis?" I asked to see if he was still on the other line.

There's a big sigh and my heart starts beating erratically. "What's wrong?" I ask to calm my heart that was beating at the speed that resembled an athlete after running a marathon. He needed to calm my thoughts.

"This is really hard for me to do." He groaned and I heard some talking in the background, it didn't sound like one of the boys, but it was a man.

"Did you become gay?" I ask in all honesty.

"No, but I wish I did now."

Now that really confused me, furrowing my eyebrows together I ask, "What do you mean?"

I hear a groan from Louis, "I think we should,um, start seeing other people."

I froze, the phone slipping from my hand and I fall onto my knees. Tears were coming to my eyes as I scrambled to get the phone back up to my ear.

"Why?" I croaked.

There's another hesitation,"It's better for you, we can still stay friends."

"That's a lie. You have no right deciding what is right for me. How is this right for me? We have a freaking promise ring, how would we stay friends when we were supposed to get married sometime?"

There's no answer and I demand to know to the real truth of why he broke up with me. Did he find someone else? Did he suddenly just stop loving me? Did he cheat on me? Oh gosh, I couldn't think about that.

"Why Louis?" I asked in the most demanding tone I could muster, but sniffling at the end.

"I told you."

"Louis, I need the truth!" I wait for his answer then hear the dial tone in my ear, signaling he had hung up. I fall down and start sobbing, clutching my legs to my chest. Where was Tiarne when you needed her? Oh yeah, she's in Ireland visiting Niall's family while Niall's on break.

I felt like oxygen had been cut off. I love Louis, I still do. Why won't he tell me the truth? He cheated on me didn't he? My sobs became louder as I thought of him kissing another girl. I slip the promise ring off my finger and throw it across the room, the ring bouncing off the wall and onto the floor.

When I was dried up of my tears, I slowly got up, sniffling and lifted up the ring, examing it before sliding it back on my finger. I love Louis and we're over.

---------------FLASHBACK ENDED-----------------

Tears formed in my eyes and I shook my head. Of course I remembered the break up, I just don't know why. He couldn't see me nod my head, but I guess he took my silence as a 'no.'

"I broke up with you because......because.....I didn't think you were strong enough." I look at him confused and he rolls over, his earnest blue eyes looking into mine. Did he want me to weight lift...?

"What do you mean, not strong enough...for what?"

His eyes close sleepily like it's taking too much energy for him to talk. His mouth moves and a mumble comes out, but I couldn't tell what he said.

"Pardon?"

But it's too late, because Louis is now snoring softly. Now thinking, I get up and walk out the door, towards the living room.

What was I not strong enough for? How would he know what I'm strong enough for? I would only know. He underestimated me for whatever it is. Unless it's taking down ninjas....and snakes.....and murders, kidnappers, robbers, pedophiles, butterflies....

Yes, I know, butterflies but I treat them like a bee. Run away and shriek.

I'm greeted by the boys and fall onto the couch.

"What's wrong?" Liam asks.

I sigh, ""Louis said he broke up with me because I wasn't strong enough, but for what?"

The boys cast an uneasy look at each other and me and Tiarne lean forward in our seats. "Boys?" I ask, urging them to spill.

"Do you know something we don't?" Tiarne asks, finishing my thought. They all shift uneasily in their seats.
