Josh's POV

New York was already getting to me. I moved to the city for college and the hustle and bustle of the city irritated me. People in such a hurry all the time, its like the world suddenly skipped and hour and people were still trying to make it in time. I missed upstate where I could do whatever the hell I wanted without the presence of other people everywhere. I missed my friends mostly. Annabelle seemed to always be busy. I never knew what she was really doing but I didn't over think it. Anna was alway the one to keep secrets. Daniel, supposed to be my best guy friend, only spent time with his girlfriend. For a guy who was never clingy, he was never able to get off the leash she put on him. My sister, Mia, even though we're the same age, she had her own things going on. She left for California for a career in TV modeling. Then their was Ailia. She moved all the way to London. London fucking England. We both had plans but suddenly they changed. We were going to both move to Boston. I would go to school for teaching, and she would go for psychology. We planned on living together and living our twenties as best friends.

But that was it, friends. I never put much thought into us being anything more than that. Yeah, she was gorgeous, but we always saw each other on a brother-sister based relationship. I've just been hurting recently with her gone. We barely spoke anymore with the time difference. I prayed it was just the time difference to why we weren't talking very much. I missed shed laugh, her smile, her hugs, her sarcastic comments. I wanted her with me.

I was unsure my true feelings towards Ailia, but all I do know, is I don't want to feel this way anymore.

Annabelle's POV

Shit. Shit. Shit.

Luke, what the hell was I thinking. Why did I always do this. I'm 'that girl' who hooks up with guys who have girlfriends. I can't explain why, I just did. Ailia and Josh said it was from my lack of self esteem or some shit like that. But I definitely have respect for myself, I think. I just set my standards very low. But now I was pregnant, with Luke's baby. How the hell am I suppose to do. I barely take care of myself now a baby? I knew abortion was not even a considerable option. Adoption would she terrible for the baby. I had to set up a way that my baby would definitely have parents. First, I have figure out how long I'm going stay London. I know AIlia will help me no matter what, she was my best friend, my sister.

I finally rolled out of bed. I stood in front of the mirror, obviously I forgot to take off my make up last night. Dark, streaky lines formed around my green orbs. I wiped off as much as I could with just my finger, until giving up. I walked out and a girl with dark hair sat up on the couch. Her posture was very well held. She was flipping a magazine from page to page. She still hand not noticed my presence. Who was she?

I coughed, startling the girl. She shot her head over to look at me. She stood up sternly looking at me in shock. I stayed my lazily position.

"Who are you" She snapped at me

"Annabelle. And you?" I said resting a hand over my hip.

"Camila. What the hell are you doing in my flat" Her british accent spoke fast, making it almost unable to understand her

"Oh. I'm Ailia's best friend from home. Sup?" I nodded my head at her, knowing my gesture who throw her off

"Sup? Really what are you..oh you are American" She spoke like a little high school girl thinking she was the shit

I gave her snotty smiled gesture. "Aren't you just little spit fire" Before she could reply I turned and headed to Ailia'a room. I could hear her huff as she sat down.

Ailia was sitting on her phone by the window. I listened in on her conversation.

"Mia? Mia?" She was yelling into the phone. "What he hell are you talking about?" Why would she be talking to Mia?

"I haven't talked to him since last night, he seemed all right" She began to tense.

"Mia, he's nineteen, maybe he just needed to get away for a bit. I'm sure he'll show up" She spoke trying to comfort Mia through the phone

"I'll let you know if i hear from him" She hung up the phone and stared out the window to the sea of buildings

I knocked on the door, causing her to jump. She threw her hand over her chest

"God, Annabella you scared me" I walked closer to her, something was up, I knew it.

"What's going on" I motioned towards her phone

"Josh left New York, the city at least. He moved out of his loft, he quit his job, no one knows where he is."

She seemed to just brush it off. What the hell was wrong with her? This was Josh. Josh didn't just pick up his stuff and leave, it wasn't him. Why the hell was she acting so calm about this. Ailia was not one to be calm during a situation like this. The Ailia I know would be doing everything in her power to find him. She would be dialing his number and never stopping until he answered.

"Well what the fuck are you doing? Call him?!" I was so taken aback by her ease

"Anna, I'm not in the US anymore. If Josh left and didn't tell anyone, he wouldn't want to be hunted down. He obviously wants to be alone" She spat at me, he light irish accent showing through some words

"Are you drunk? Ailia, what the hell is going on with you?"

"Look Anna, I can't always have Josh be the center of my attention. He's not my…" Her voice trailed off. I wash of calmness spread through my face realizing what this was about.

Ailia told me about what happened after graduation. During the summer it seemed that the two of them were very..awkward with each other. Apparently, Josh got drunk at some party and Ailia was only a bit tipsy, but drunk enough to not act like herself. The two of them walked over to the boat house that was near by. They sat and talked for a while in a boat, about everything. Neither of them were a sloppy drunk. With the rush from the alcohol, and in the heat of the moment they kissed. Whether she kissed him, or he kissed her, no one admitted to doing the act. From my understanding, Josh didn't want to be with Ailia, she said that she didn't want to be in a relationship with him. But something in side her craved the feeling of the kiss and she played it off. I know that it bothered Ailia and even though she was with Niall, she didn't want his rejection.

"All right, I'll let you know if I find out anything." I walked out of the room and left the apartment. Even in my sweats and sketchy make-up, I didn't want to stay there.

Niall's POV

I sat in my living room strumming the guitar. All the lyrics poured out onto the pages, it was all her. Ailia consumed my thoughts. She was just so wonderful. I could talk to her and know she could sit and listen without getting bored, as I could do the same. I've never been in love, but I could feel myself begin to fall in love with her. Just her name brings a smile to my face. I craved her touch, I desired her kiss. The way her small frame fit into mine was priceless. I can't imagine life without her. I'm truly blessed to have her.

I knew exactly what I have to do. I have to go public. I need the world to really know how happy I am. I needed everyone to know who was making my happy.

I picked up the phone and called Liam.

"Hello" Liam said through the other end of the phone.

"Liam..I want to go public with Ailia" I abruptly said

"Alright mate. I should let you know I talked to her, and she's good as gold. Niall, you picked a good one"

I smiled thinking about their conversation "Good, Ailia could be the one Liam"

"Ah my little brother's growing up" Liam mocked though the phone

I laughed "I just might be"

I hung up the phone with a good feeling. I had faith in the relationship. I know I could trust her, but I also knew she had the power to break my heart, but I prayed to god she would never be given the opportunity.
