First Time After A Breakup

Liam: “Y- you look great Y/N.” He says, scratching the back of his neck, other hand firmly planted in his pocket as you smile weakly, adjusting the basket of groceries you were carrying on your arm. “You too Li, you too.” You say, nonchalantly fixing your hair from the messy bun you had stuffed it in, letting it flow over your shoulders, he had always loved your hair down. “So Uhm how have you been?” He asks, trying to drag seeing you out. It was obvious that he missed you, and all you could hope was that it wasn’t obvious you missed him, hoping that the bags under your eyes and nappy hair wouldn’t tell anything. “Good, good. You?” You ask as he starts to nod then sighs, “I’ve been terrible. I miss you Y/N, leaving you was the worst decision I could have made. Y/N I really just want to start over. Can I take you to dinner?” He asks, tugging on the string of your heart that had always belonged to him. “Y- yeah, tonight at eight?” He nods smiling widely. “See you tonight.” He smiles, nodding, you watch as he runs to get ready, “See you tonight.”

Zayn: Calling you from across the store, he quickly runs over to you, a big smile plastered to his face. Even though you hadn’t left him on the best of terms, it had seemed that he had forgotten about all the cruel slashes you each had thrown at each other. “It’s great to see you!” He smiles, hugging you. “I’ve been meaning to come apologize for the way I acted, I just wanted to give you some time t-” he says until your new boyfriend walked over, holding a shirt that he liked. “Who’s this?” He asks, gesturing to Zayn. “Oh Uhm, this is my ex, Zayn this is my new boyfriend.” You say, sadly watching his face fall, smile that had was plastered to his face a few seconds ago, destroyed by the hammer that was your boyfriend. “I- it’s nice to meet you.” He says taking his hand, as your boyfriend nods, shaking it, his arm snaking around your waist. “Well, Uhm I’m glad you’re happy Y/N, see you around sometime.” He says, dropping the things he was going to purchase and walked out of the store, sadly, shoulders dropped as your new boyfriend held you close and went to pay for his items. Even though your boyfriend was right there, you couldn’t help but think of what might be with Zayn.

Louis: His lips grazed your neck as your bass worked the buttons if his shirt undone, all the while, he carried you from the couch to bed. “I- mmmm I’ve missed you.” You pant as he drops you on the bed, dropping the shirt from his shoulders. You had met at a bar a few months now after your break up, and after a few drinks, things were like they were before all the fighting, back to normal between the two of you. “Me too, so so much.” He mumbles nipping at your skin, alcohol brushing your goosebumps. He continues, both of you undressing the other until there was nothing on but the sheets you climbed under. Tugging on his hair you mumble “Should we be doing this?” Nodding he takes your hand from his hair and says “We used to do this all the time. I don’t see why not.” He shrugs, bracing himself over you. A lurch in your stomach makes you stop his lips from doing anything more, “I don’t want just a stupid booty call, I think we need to talk about this.” You say, making him sober up. “Well, do you want to get back together?” He asks laying beside you, taking your hand in his. After a minute of thinking you bite your lip, “Well, what do you think? Do you want to try again?” You ask as he smiles “I think we can work past everything. Don’t you?” “You’re not just saying that to get sex right?” You ask as he shakes his head, “I really do love you. And I want to try again. Can we?” He asks as you nod kissing him. “I love you too.” You smile before letting him continue where he started.

Niall: Sitting down on the couch, you look up hearing a knock on the door. Setting the ice cream down, you open the door, seeing a teary faced Niall at the door, hair hidden in a dark beanie, hoodie covering his skin which by the state of his cheeks was translucent and tired. He had left shouting that everything was over, and that he would be back for his stuff soon. “Are you here for your things?” you ask weakly nodding to a box of items you had compiled over the past few days, not wanting to be around all of his things that made your heart wretch in pain and heartache. “I- I suppose I am.” he mumbles rubbing the back of his neck, stepping into the familiar house, grabbing his box of things. “Niall.” you say as he turns to leave, “I- I just wanted to tell you that I’ll always love you, even if you don’t love me anymore.” you sigh, looking at your feet. “Babe, I’ll always love you, but I- I just don;t see this working, I’m always gone, and all we do when I’m home is sit around quietly neither of us having the heart to say what we’re both thinking, we’re just going to end up here anyways.” Sniffling you nod and sigh wiping your eyes, “I- I know, I just want to be with you though.” you say as he sets the box down to pull you into his arms tightly hugging you into his chest. “I know, and that’s all I want to, but I don’t know if we can do this.” “Niall, can we just try for a little while longer? Please?” you whisper as he nods softly, “Okay love, okay. Let’s try this again.”

Harry: You fixed your wedding dress in the mirror once again, stating at yourself in the mirror as there was a soft knock on your door. Stepping down from the stool, and open the door. As you open the door. Harry smiles weakly at you, a gift wrapped in wedding wrapping paper. “H- Harry is that you?” You ask, shocked not having seen him in a few years since you broke up. “I- I heard you were getting married and I just wanted to come see you one last time before you did.” He says walking into your dressing room as you step aside to let him in. “I haven’t seen you in years.” You say, closing the door behind him. “I know, how have you been?” He asks, as you nod, “Alright I guess. Met a nice guy.” You say, sighing down beside him. “I missed you. A lot, and I went to see you but you’d already left, you changed your number, I tried for months to find you Y/N, but when I couldn’t I gave up. I didn’t come here today to steal you, or ruin your day, but I still love you. I love you more than anything in this world. I just want you to be happy, but I needed you to know that I still love you.” He says as you look down at your fingers. He gets up and hands you the gift he brought, then kisses your cheek and gets up, leaving you with the gift. You open it making your heart stop the gift inside something you had told him you wanted for your wedding years ago. After all this time he had remembered, and after all this time he really did love you. Getting up you quickly run after him screaming his name. He stops and turns in time to catch you. “I love you to Harry, I never stopped.” You say pressing your lips to his, his hands taking yours. “Run away with me?” He asks and you nod tossing the veil attached to your hair to the floor. “Let’s get out of here Harry, take me away.”
