Have to study a lot, I'll try my best to update tomorrow, dont know though. It's 19:19pm exactly -funny time- and I've JUST arrived and I'm leaving in 20 minutes again. Crazy.

I've had the song 'Strange Love' by Koop in my mind all day long. Check it out, you may like it.

Enjoy and review!

Next Monday is going to suck so badly, have the most difficult exam ever; Ethics. Oh, God...


"Please, dont go" I said for the last time. She had agreed to meet him in the corner of our street just in 20 minutes. Pieces of glass were all over the floor, Terry had peed over the car' keys and I was desperate.

"Dougie, he's the only one who has called in a whole month" she said, she sounded hurt and if she had excepted more "I want to know who I am"

"Don't you like who you are now?"

"Yes, of course I do, you know that... But still, I need to know who I really am. Try to understand how I feel, Doug. I can't just pick up a name and go on just like that"

"But you can! You've been doing that for like 2 months now!"

She took both my hands in hers and looked at me straight in the eyes, I could feel how her sweet stare started to hypnotise my mind.

"I need you to support me in this" she said softly.

I didn't want to support her this time, I felt as if fate was tearing us apart way too son, I'd been kind of expecting this but not this soon. She had a boyfriend and he obbviously wanted her back, he would fight for her, any intelligent men would, she was the girl of my dreams. She would eventualy want to be closer to him, he knew her past and that was all she wanted; she wasn't looking for love, nor money or even a safe home, all she wanted was the truth and I couldn't five her that no matter how hard I tried.

But I also couldn't leave her alone with Alec, I didn't care if he knew her because, at least now, she didn't know him. I just nodded because I couldn't talk and I had nothing to say really, at least nothing she wanted to hear.

She started picking up the pieces of glass but I threw them back on the floor and told her to stop.

"I dont want you to clean now" I said "Besides, this may not be your home anymore soon"

"Dougie, I-"

"We need to go"

I put on my coat before she could say anything or before her sad eyes could intoxicate my brain, and then walked outside. It was really cold and dark, I couldn't believe she had agreed with this. Couldn't they at least wait until tomorrow? Lily followed me in silence. She took my hand and asked if I was angry.

I wasn't angry; I was afraid, jealous and about to get sad, at least if what I thought was going to happen really happened. I loved living with her, she was fun and quite good at cooking. She would leave and slowly forget about me, just as Harry had said she would.

"I'm not angry at you" I said "I've never been and I neber will"

She was about to answer but a man shouted 'Janice' from the distance and she focused on him.

"That must be him" she almost whispered, talking more to herself than to me.

Alec was as tall as I was, his eyes were dark and so was his curly hair. His clothes seemed old and kind of dirty, his hair was messy and he also looked tired. He seemed even older than I was, which made me think Lily would be a weird couple for him she looked rather young, between 17 and 20. He was about to hug her but I stood in frong of her protectively, and she didn't seem to bother, a hug may not be want she wanted for him right now.

"Janice, it's me" he said.

"I just..." Lily looked at him for several seconds, as if she was trying really hard to remember him "You dont bring back any memories to me" she sounded disappointed, she obviously must had waited for that and I was glad it didn't happen.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine" Alec smiled, he was ignoring me completely "Come back home, please, I miss you"

Lily hesitated.

"She's not going anywhere" I said annoyed "We don't know you"

"And who are you?" Alec said as he looked at me for the first time.

"I'm the one she's dating" I said. Alec seemed confused, but Lily got mad at my rudeness.

"There was no need to say that" she said.

"What? It's the truth!"

"You are dating him?" he asked "What about us?"

"She has no idea who you are, for God's sake!" I said annoyed, why couldn't he just give up?

"That's it!" Lily said "Go inside, Dougie"

"What? No"

"I want to talk to him in private" she said as she slightly pushed me toward my house. I looked at her angrily, she was asking me to leave and that hurt me, I'd always been there for her and when I wanted to be there because I need to, she kicked me out... Well, not out, but you get it.

"Whatever, Lily" I said and left.


Lily's POV

I didn't like asking Doug to leave but he was making everything more difficult and it was hard enough without his bad mood. Alec smiled at me, he seemed sweet, harmless, though I couldn't remember a single thing related to him. None of the frozen images I remembered said anything about him, his face wasn't in any corner of my mind.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Alec asked.

"No, he's not my boyfriend to be honest" I said and tried not to show how that disappointed me, I didn't know him but hurting him wasn't my plan.

"Do you think we could give our love a second chance?" he got closer to me and I took a step back.

"It wouldn't be a second chance for me, it'd be the first"

"You know what I mean" he probably could tell I was trying to avoid answering the question.

"Yes, I know"

I couldn't heko thinking about Dougie, we were so happy together but it had been more than a month and we hadn't made much progress. He was famous and would soon go away on tour... I was Lily when he was around, but what would I do when he left? Who would I be? I had nothing else at all, nothing mine; no money, no house, no food. I depended on him 100% and I needed to something by myself, maybe Alec could give me that, maybe I had a job, maybe someone needed me. Dougie said I was no burden but all I did was waste his money, I could do nothing at all if it wasn't for him or his money.

"Will you come home with me?" he said "If you don't like it later, you'll be free to go, but just try, please. Give me a chance to show you your life. It's not great but it's yours"


Doug's POV ... again.

Alec was outisde, I didn't want him inside my house. Lily was standing in the doorway, one suitcase in her hand. I couldn't believe she was leaving... Leaving me for him... So easily. Did the truth really matter that much to her?

"You promised..." I said as I held Terry in my arms. I don't understand people when they say animals can't feel or think. He could feel she was leaving, I knew it because I felt it too, he wasn't dumb and I was either, I knew this was going to happen and yet I hadn't listened to my friends' warnings because I'd wanted to believe she would sacrifice that much for me "You said you wouldn't forget me"

"And I won't" she said "I want to see what my life was like"

"This is your life"

"My real life"

"It's the same damn thing, you heart didn't stop beating, it's just one life"

She walked closer to me and when she was about to caressed Terry's head, I stepped back.

"I'm a single dad now" I said.

"Dougie, please..."

"You are not Lily anymore. You chose to be Janice and I wasn't in her life. You know you'll try to forget me so you can be with him"

She looked down and I was glad she did, I couldn't stand to see her cry, not even now that I was so sad and disappointed. She quickly kissed my lips before I could even more, her eyes quite wet, she probably didn't want to cry in front of me.

"I love you, Dougie... Goodbye"


Relax. I think I said I wasn't ever going to write sad endings again, they are depressing, so sooner or later everything will be fine. Now make a click where it says 'review this story/chapter' ! :D
