Ami's POV :

I set down a box against the door. Slowly turning around to face the almost bare room. The only thing left was my bed and headboard, along with my piano and desk against the wall which I'd be leaving behind. All my clothes, posters and books stored into boxes that would be following Louis and I back to South London. I managed to get everything packed away today in about 5 hours.

I haven't seen the boys since I shut myself in my room, blasting music to cover my quiet sobs so they wouldn't hear me. I never thought this day would come so soon. My body was filled with mixed emotions. I would be missing my boys and Jo and Alex. I'll be returning to a home filled with people that probably didn't bother to miss me. Louis will return back to his friends and loving family. As I'll just be going back to a place where I'll feel lonely and will counting down the days I can return back to my real home.

I didn't notice I was sitting down on my bed when a knock interrupted my thoughts. I turned to see Willie standing in the doorframe.

"Hey dinner's ready, everyone's waiting for you." He said softly. I took notice of the yummy scent stuffing the apartment.

I walked by his side to see everyone quietly making their way to their seat in the table. I glanced at everyone's sorrowful faces. I couldn't blame them when I was feeling the exact feeling in my body.

I sat down, no one spoke or touched the steaming food that sat in front of us. "I'm going to miss you guys" I uttered softly, trying not to cry.

Alex began to fill his plate. "Don't be too sad Ami, you're not going to be gone THAT long." Alex said, raising his voice at the word "that". I looked at him like he was stupid.

"Seriously Alex? Two months without you guys is way too long for me." I exclaimed, putting my hands down on the table.

Alex and Jo shared a knowingly look, then turning to us 4 who looked back at them dumbfounded. "Ohh you guys don't know?" He took a bite of my lumpia that I had cooked for Christmas, the day before.

I looked at the 3 boys around the table who were staring back at me confused. "Know what?" I questioned.

Alex took his time as he finished chewing the food in his mouth, "Susan called me two days ago saying that the editors are almost done with the movie...so that means you'll be coming back in two weeks instead of two months." He took a sip of the lemonade in his cup.

Silence filled the room.

"SERIOUSLY??" I yelled out. "Wait so I spent 5 whole hours packing up my entire room when I could've just left some stuff here?"

"NO WAY!" Willie and Louis screamed.

"Bro! Never mind I won't miss y'all that much! See ya losers in two weeks." Timmy said out loud, causing Louis, Willie and I to punch his shoulder.

He put his arms up in defense, covering his body. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding gosh."

"Wait that's so fast oh wow" I said putting a hand to my warm forehead.

Alex wipes his mouth, "Yeah imagine my disappointment, 2 weeks isn't long enough without you guys." We all laughed as we threw our napkins at him.

We all calmed down, the gloomy room filled with some sort of happiness considering the fact Lou and I won't be away for too long.

Timmy beside me cleared his throat. "Well since we're telling everyone good news now." All of our attention turned to him. "I got the part of Kyle! In Lady Bird!"

Joyous screams filled the room. We all congratulated the boy who had a full smile on his face.

"Wait wait wait." Alex interrupted. "I didn't get the call back about that?"

Timmy looked away, scratching his neck. "Uh I might've answered it when you were passed out on the couch." Laughter erupted in the room.

We then all dug into the food, sharing funny stories we had over the past few months, talking about what would happen when we come back and just enjoying the moment over all.

After dinner, the boys offered to clean up, so Jo and I finally had a chance to rest on the couch.

I took a sip of my lemonade as I spoke to Jo, "You know I can't wait for the two weeks to be over. I wish I didn't have to leave so early tomorrow."

She turned to me, a glass of wine sat in her hands. "Let's do something tonight." She smirked at me.

I turned to the clock, 7:19 p.m.

"It's 7 pm and it's super dark outside." I said pointing to the sky outside. She glanced at it, her face full of wonder.

She nudged my shoulder, "Well tell me, you used to live here, is there any places that you used to go at night to get a fresh breath of air?"

I looked at her. "Jo I'm asian. I'm not even allowed to go out the front door after 8 p.m."

She began to laugh even though the statement was totally true.

Then an idea struck me.

I perked up, "Wait I know where." I walked into the kitchen, Jo following close behind me, to see the boys doing the dishes and cleaning the table. "Guys hurry up and get your jackets then meet me in my car downstairs."

The boys looked at each other confused, but hurried as they finished their chores.

————————

"Are we there yet?" Willie said behind me.

I rolled my eyes at the boy. "Willie shut up, you sound like a little kid." I put my hand on top of Louis's that was rested on my gear shift.

I looked in my rear view mirror to see Jo slouching down as she sat on Alex's lap, Timmy in the middle and Willie right behind me.

I rushed them into the car forgetting it only fit 5 people, but I didn't want anyone else driving, as the spot I was taking them to was a surprise.

We had been driving for around 40 minutes plus the infamous L.A. traffic, even at 8 p.m. you can still get stuck in traffic. As I drove up the hill, I couldn't help but look around. It had been some time since I've been to the spot, but things never changed. The sound of L.A. was still blaring throughout the city, floating up to our ears as I parked the car. There was little to no people, which I'm glad. I get to have my last night with my family alone.

"Holy shit. The drive was definitely worth it." Willie muttered as he got out of the car. I stood up from my seat and leaned against the car as I watched everyone walk out and look at the view in awe.

The sun was fully gone now, the bright moon floating through the clouds, casting a glow on our faces. I glanced down at my feet as I try not to cry about tomorrow. It felt surreal. The past few months have been rocky, but I wouldn't have it any different. I built friendships with these people and I would never want to let go of them for the life of me. Though Lou and I will only be gone for two weeks and it'll be back to normal, things can easily change in two weeks and I was scared.

I kicked a rock between the two of my feet when I saw a pair join me. I looked up to see Louis's smile greeting me. I wiped my eyes quickly as I looked at the group, avoiding his gaze.

Then he pulled me into a hug. I was sandwiched between him and the car, his warmth filling my body.

Man this dude is tall. I barely reached up to his chin. The past few months I've had to look up at everybody considering I'm 5'1 and everyone else is above 5'5.

"We'll be back soon." He whispered as he pulled my body up and led me to stand with everyone else.

I stood between him and Willie. "I know."

I faced Willie smiling, along with Timmy, Jo and Alex. All of their faces gleaming with pure happiness.

"Ami...this place is beautiful." Jo whispered as she leaned into Alex's chest.

I turned back to the view. "It is." Then I pulled them all into a hug.

I laughed as I finally let them go after some time, "Do you guys want to head back?" I questioned.

"Nah, let's stay here for a while...enjoy the moment yeah?" Timmy then walked towards the edge and sat down, Jo, Alex and Willie followed after him.

I was starting to make my way towards them when I felt a hand pull me back.

He led me towards the car, enough feet away for the group to not hear us. "You okay Louis?" I asked the boy. He avoided my eyes as he looked around everywhere, except me. I put my finger on his chin, directing it so he can face me. I examined his eyes, he looked nervous. He kept fumbling with his hands, bouncing his legs up and down, everything I do when I get nervous.

"Lou you can talk to me, what's wrong?" I took his hands in mine, he finally looked at me in my eyes.

He took a deep breath. "Do you trust me?"

The question caught me off guard as I thought he had already known the answer months ago.

"Of course" I replied back. He looked down at our hands then back up to me. He was anxious, I could tell.

He took a while to respond, "I'm going to tell you something...and I'm nervous, well I'm scared honestly." I chuckled as questions began to fill my brain.

Why are you nervous Lou?

"Don't be, it's just me." I commented. He looked at me, his hands noticeably getting tighter around mine.

"Exactly" He breathed out. He let go of my hands as he ran them through his hair, distressed. He tried to walk away, only for me to pull him back. I held hands again, making him face me.

"Louis, you can tell me anything. I promise." I said sternly.

He looked at me, his eyes were illuminate by the glow of the moon hanging in the sky. All was quiet except the faint noises of L.A. and the chatters of our friends nearby, evidently unaware of the scene happening behind them.

"Ami, these past few months with you have been the highlight of my life. Every single day, every moment, every glance I have with you are engraved in my mind. You have made this entire trip so much easier and you don't even realize it. I have grown with you as a person as you've grown with me. I said I don't ever want to let you go and I truly mean that. I'd honestly never thought we'd get this close and share this big of a bond between us, but we did. And I honestly wouldn't want it to be with anyone else. You make me laugh Ami, you make me smile, you make my heart twist and turn in the best ways possible. The simple things. The little things you do! I adore them. I admire you with every bone in my body. And I'd never want to see you hurt. With Dylan, I- I never hated myself so much. I should've noticed all the signs and kicked him out before he had the chance to do what he did. And I promise Ami, I promise, that'll never happen when I'm around." He took a breath as I looked at him, trying to grasp all the words he just let out.

He held my hands and stepped closer. "Ami I've been meaning to tell you this for a while, I just never knew how. I- I" I looked at him expectantly.

"I like you. A lot. And I just can't get you out of my head." I glanced at his face as he turned to me slowly, his eyes moving like he was searching my face for an answer.

"Do you feel the same way?" He asked.

This stupid idiot.

I looked at him, a big grin on my face, "Of course I do, you're my Lou." His eyes glowed with the light from the moon.

"And you're my Darling." He replied back. Smiles on our faces.

Then he cupped my cheek as he slowly tilt his head to the right. Leaning in so slow as if he was waiting for me to protest.

Instead I pulled him in.

Our lips crashed, as his hands pulled me closer to his body. Electricity flowing throughout. The air around me felt like a sauna as heat rose out of me. My arms were around Louis's neck as I was on my tippy toes to reach his lips. His hands around my waist, slightly lifting me up.

His cologne filled my nostrils as I breathed him in. My brain trying to carve out the scene for I can remember our first kiss. The one I had been longing for.

His lips pulled me in like a black hole pulls in its victims until gravity is all lost.

I felt my body tingle with joy as Lou and I shared this moment. The world around us stopped as we finally confessed our feelings.

Lou and I eventually let go of each other as we caught our breaths. I looked down at his shoes, my cheeks feeling warm. The moment lasted a while, though I wish to feel his lips on mine forever. As the feeling gave me joy throughout my body.

I peeked up at the boy to see him grinning down at me. When I locked eyes with his, he gave me a peck on the lips so quick I could've imagined it.

"You don't know how long I've been waiting to do that." He said softly, chuckling as he scratched his neck.

I hugged his body, sensing his arms go around me as I whispered, "I've been feeling the same way."
