This love is be and end all;

This love will be your downfall

This Love (Will Be Your Downfall), Ellie Goulding

Effy has just left Freddie's house. Freddie now lies on his bed, smoking a spliff.

As sudden as it came, a reminder of the past entered Freddie's thoughts.

He was six years old and still as scruffily cute as he was now. He'd ran into the kitchen, dumping his school bag on the floor and ran into a woman's arms. His mother's arms. "Hello sweetheart! Have a good day?" she asked as she cuddled him. He could smell the scent of vanilla that always lurked on her, he loved its sweetness.

"Yes mum! It was sooo fun, we were putting up Christmas decorations and Cook pinged his crayons into Frau Hilda's bra!"

"Poor Frau Hilda!" his mum laughed.

"And we've got a new girl!"

"Oo do you? What's her name?"

Freddie grinned, showing dazzling white teeth. "Her name's Florencia, she's from Italy! Mum, where's Italy? She makes us call her Flo."

His mum ruffled his hair and turned back to cooking tea on the stove. "Italy's a country in Europe, about a two hour plane journey from here. Beautiful country."

Freddie nodded happily, still giddy from his day. "And Flo was put beside me and she's really nice and funny. Cook pulled her hair for a joke, her hair's really nice."

"Sounds like someone has a crush on Flo!" his mum said with a wink.

"Who, Cook?"

"No, not James-" she refused to call him Cook - "you Frederick, silly!"

Freddie scowled but his face went pink. His mum smiled and poured herself a glass of white wine. "Freddie.. promise me something okay?"

"Okay..."

She knelt down in front of him. "Promise me that you'll treat every girl like she's a person. Because when you get married, I want you to treat her with respect and the love she deserves, can you do that?"

Freddie nodded dumbly.

"Good. And if you're ever with a girl you truly love, hold onto her. When I'm not here, I want you to hold onto that one girl and never let her go, no matter how much its hurts. Because love hurts, darling, but the girl is worth it."

Freddie nodded again. "But mum.. why won't you be here?"

"Just promise me, Freddie," she whispered, looking at him with her chocolate brown eyes, the eyes he shared with her. They were glistening with tears.

"I promise.." he murmered.

To this day, Freddie had kept that promise for his mother. It was the least he could do. Not only was it amazing life advice, but he owed it to her. She'd died a year later.

And he knew she'd have liked Effy.
