Y/n woke up the next day to go see him.
She was scared, a little nervous, and downright happy.
She got dressed and texted him that she was on her way.
Louis knee it wouldn't take very long for her to get there.
It was about a three minute walk.
Y/n headed out and to his house.
She remembered everything.
Nothing had changed.
She walked to his house and up the stairs to the front door.
She rang the doorbell that jogged her memory of things she used to hear all the time.
Soon the door cracked open and she saw a teenage boy.
His face morphed to a shocked expression.
"Y/n?"
"Louis?"
Louis did nothing but step outside and look at her.
He didn't hug her, he didn't laugh, he didn't shake her hand, nothing.
But soon his questions broke the silence and amped the tension.
"Why didn't you come back?" He asked.
"I did. I'm here aren't I?"
"Why didn't you come back soon like you told me?"
"Louis, I was ten!"
"And so was I! But I had hope! I had feelings. I thought you would come back."
"I am back! Look at me! I'm right here!"
"Yeah! SEVEN YEARS LATER! Y/n! Look at us! We are almost adults! You're grown! You're basically a woman!"
"Louis. I came back. Like I said I would."
"No... you didn't. You didn't come back like you said you would. Because if you did... you wouldn't be almost 18 the next time I saw you. I wouldn't have missed your sweet sixteen. I wouldn't have missed your first kiss. Your first high school dance, your first boyfriend. Anything. But because you didnt come back like you promised, I did."
Louis was almost in tears because of sadness and rage.
Y/n was in shock and sadness.
She couldn't say anything to make him feel better. She couldn't tell him anything that would make it all okay.
So she did what she knew could help.
She hugged him.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and held him close to her.
Louis stood like a statue in shock.
He didn't hug her back or curl himself into her. He just stood there.
She cried into his chest as she silently begged for forgiveness.
She knew she messed up.
She knew it was over.
She knew he hated her and there was nothing she could do.
So she did what she used to do.
What used to work.
In hopes that maybe it would still work.
She pulled away and looked at him.
"I know I can't change what happened. I know you hate me. But please, just try to let me stay. I can't leave you when I've already gotten this close again. I want to have more sunny days like I remember. I want to have more comfortable nights like we used to. I want to be there again. Please let me Louis."
Y/n sank down to her knees and sat in a 'w'.
She hunched over in a defeated position and cried.
Louis's hard act was breaking.
He remembered this feeling.
It was the same feeling he got when she was packing, and the same feeling when she left.
He now knew it as worry... as fear.
Louis helped y/n pick herself up and he set her limp being on a swing chair.
He kneeled in front of her, one knee on the ground, one holding his resting arm.
Y/ns hair was in front of her down turned face, cascading over her cheeks and shoulders.
"Look at me."
She didn't move her shameful slouch and continued to heave in defeat.
"Look at me."
She still didn't move.
Louis lifted her chin.
"Sweetheart, look."
Y/ns glum eyes met Louis's serious ones.
"You haven't called me that since I was like seven." Y/n chuckled.
"Not my fault you liked to steal my candy hearts on Valentine's Day."
She gave him a weak smile.
"I may not have the best feelings toward you right now but that doesn't mean that can't change. I always knew that I still has a little spark of something left. Because when I look at you now. I still see my best friend. The baby faced one. The one who used to share her giant cookies with me at lunch. The one who'd bring an extra juice box at daycare.
The one who always loved me, no matter what.
And you still do.
That's a part of you that I'm glad never changed."
Y/n threw herself forward into his arms and he hugged her back.
He felt right in her arms again.
He felt like he hadn't been that calm since she hugged him last.
He never truly stopped loving her.
Only now they'd have to learn again.
But it wouldn't be too difficult.
After all
She was the greatest thing to ever happen to him.
