The days following Christmas was spent with my mom and James since I need to make up with the time I spent with the boys instead of them. Now it was the weekend after Christmas and my mom and I were shopping at Harrods.

"So, you're going back home in 6 days" my mom said pouting at me. We were at the food court having lunch.

"Yeah, I'm sorry if I spend too much time with the boys instead of you guys" I said.

"It's okay, I'm sorry I was too busy at work. You went to the trouble of flying over here just to get left in the house all alone" my mom replied.

"Oh mom, it's fine. What matters is even though you're busy at work and I'm hanging out with the boys too much, we still have time to spend with each other" I said smiling at her. She smiled back, holding my hand and giving it a squeeze.

"You know mom, I should thank you, because if not because of you hooking me up with the gig on Serenity, I wouldn't even meet the guys, so thanks!" I said grinning.

"I'm just glad you made some new friends" she said. "Speaking of them, do they know when you're going away?" I froze. I just realize that they didn't know I was just here for Christmas break.

"Uh, no. They don't, I guess I forgot to tell them" I said shrugging.

"Well you should. You don't want to surprise them by disappearing all of a sudden" she replied. I felt my butterflies in my stomach, feeling nervous. I only got a few days with the boys. What if this is a one time fling? What if when I go, they'll forget me and act that we never knew each other? I am already close with them and if that happens I'm sure it will be like a part of me was taken away. I guess mom noticed my trouble looked because she instantly asked, "What's wrong, sweetie?"

"It's nothing" I said sighing but decided to tell her anyway. "It's just I'm worried the guys will forget me when I go back to the Philippines" I said looking down.

"Oh sweetie," she said softly, looking at me with comfort in her eyes. "You said it yourself right? You grown close to them, I'm sure they feel the same with you. They won't forget you, you're an unforgettable girl"

"But mom, they're rich and famous. They're worldwide celebrities, for Christ's sake. I'm sure they would instantly forget me the moment I'm not around anymore, and it just makes me sad even more" I said frowning.

"Trust me, they won't" she said giving my hand a squeeze. I tried to smile for her. "So let's get going? I'm sure you still have plenty to buy for you and your friends before you go" I nodded as we stood up and continued shopping.

The next day I had the house all to myself again so I tried calling the guys to hang out. I called Niall first and he answered instantly.

"Hey Pia! What's up? We miss you these past few days, can we hang out now?" Niall said really fast that I didn't understand at first. I laughed.

"Yup we can. I'm home alone and bored. Can we meet up?" I asked.

"We're hanging out in Serenity right now if you wanna hang" he said.

"Right, be there in ten" I said smiling. I grabbed my bag and quickly went downstairs and into mom's Volvo C70. Serenity was close to our house, it's the place where it all began. I reached the cafe in a few minutes and entered the building seeing the boys in the far corner.

"Hey lads, what's up?" I said walking up to them.

"Pia!!!" Louis and Niall said hugging me instantly. I laughed as I hugged them back. I sat next to Zayn and Louis with Harry, Liam and Niall across from us.

"It's good to see you again, Pia" Liam said smiling.

"It's good to see you guys too" I said grinning. I remembered what mom said about telling them when I'll be going. I sighed heavily and faced them.

"Guys I have something important to tell you" I said slowly, looking at each of their faces as they slowly change into looks of worry.

"What is it, love?" Niall asked.

"Is something wrong?" Zayn added.

"Oh no! Did you break Harry's gift that fast?" Louis said dramatically. I giggled breaking the tension.

"Wait, you did?! How could you! That costs me a lot you know!" Harry said faked angry. I should know, I've been with these guys long enough to know if they faking or not. I rolled my eyes at him.

"I did not break you gift, it's still here, see" I said taking out the phone from my bag. "Anyway, back to the thing I was going to say"

"What is it?" Liam asked. I took a deep breath before telling them.

"Well you see, I realized that I forgot to tell you that my stay here is just temporary" I said.

"What?!" they all said aloud. I looked around the cafe and saw people looking at us and I just smiled at them.

"What do you mean by that?" Niall asked pouting.

"Temporary? You mean you won't be staying here that long?" Liam asked. I nodded.

"How? Why?" Zayn asked.

"I'm just here to visit my mom and her boyfriend. It's our Christmas break in school at the Philippines and I spent it here so I can spend time with my mom. So you see, sooner or later I'm going back, in this case, sooner" I said looking down.

"How soon?" Harry asked.

"5 days away soon" I said softly.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Niall said, his voice sounded sad.

"I forgot, I guess. I was having too much fun with you guys to remember that I won't be staying here long" I said. "I'm sorry" There was silence after that, I guess they needed time for it to sink in.

"Hey c'mon let's not get all sad and depressed now. I'm sure that's not what you want, right Pia?" Liam said smiling brightening up the mood.

"Yeah Liam's right, it's not like we won't be in touch with each other when you're gone" Zayn said shrugging. I can't help but answer him on that.

"But it will, won't it?" I asked frowning. They looked at me weird.

"What are you talking about, Pia?" Louis asked.

"Oh please guys, I know you'll forget me the moment I go away. It'll be like our meeting didn't even happen right?" I said forcing a smile.

"Pia, what are you saying?" Harry asked frowning at me.

"What you're thinking is wrong, how can we forget you?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah, you're like the coolest girl we ever met. You're one of the few girls who don't squel when they see us. We won't ever forget you" Louis added.

"Yup, you already have a special place in our hearts, you're part of the 1D family already!" Niall said. I sniffed as I realize tears were falling from my eyes. I quickly wiped them away.

"Aw, you guys are the sweetest and the best!" I said as I put my arms around Louis and Zayn who were beside me.

"Is this why you're so upset? Because you were worried we'll foget you?" Liam asked and I nodded.

"Yup pretty much. Hey you can't blame me, you're celebrities and I'm just a nobody" I said.

"Hey don't say that! You're a somebody to us" Zayn said smiling.

"I'm just glad we'll be friends even though we're apart. I would feel sad if we don't, you guys are already special to me too" I said smiling.

"Of course we'll still be friends!" Niall said.

"It's kind of funny. This is where it all began right?" Louis said grinning.

"Yup, that faithful night when Harry fell on top of me" I laughed.

"And I treated you Starbucks to make it up to you" Harry said smirking.

"Hey remember our muffin fight, then?" Niall said laughing as we laugh along with him remembering that time as well. We all sigh.

"I'll miss those days" he said suddenly.

"We'll miss you Pia" Liam added.

"Really?" I asked.

"Definitely!" Zayn and Louis said at the same time. I turned to Harry with raised eyebrows.

"Hey, I'll be lying if I said no, won't I?" he said smirking.

"Aw, I love you guys" I said pouting at them. "I'll miss you guys too"

"How about we spend the rest of the day together and sleepover at my flat?" Harry suggested.

"Yeah our very last sleepover together, let's do it!" Niall said excitedly.

"Sure! I'm in!" I said grinning I'm lucky to have these guys as friends.
