You're all going to hate me because this chapter is so short. Plus I took ages to upload it. I am so sorry. I keep making you all wait so long for chapters! I'm so evil. But I have written chapter 18 and I have some really good ideas for this story. I have started writing the next chapter so it should be up soon too! Comment, vote, fan???

(Niall’s P.O.V)

     I stared at the ceiling. Nothing in my life made sense anymore. I didn’t even know who I was. My phone buzzed, letting me know I had a text message. I picked it up and read the message:

Hey Niall, what time are you picking me up tonight? Xxxxxxxx <3 - Alisha

I put my phone down without replying. I was tired. I needed sleep. I closed my eyes and was consumed by darkness.

     I was staring at the ocean, watching the waves crash against the rocks below me. The sun was out, but it wasn’t warm. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and someone kissed my cheek from behind me. I slowly turned around to see the one girl I had been wanting to see for months. Mara. I smiled and she done the same.

"Mara. I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed you. I…" she put her hand over my mouth to stop me from talking. She took my hands in hers and looked into my eyes.

"Why?" was all she said.

"What?" I was confused.

"Why?" she asked again. I stared at her, trying to understand what she was going on about. The wind blew her hair over part of her face, it made me notice that it was darker than it was before. It was a deeper and darker brown, compared to the lighter ash brown it was last time I saw her.

"Your hair is darker." I said. She didn’t reply. Instead she let go of my hands and backed away from me. I tried to walk over to her, but she pushed me back and I fell to the ground.

"Why?!" she screamed at me. It began to get colder and she backed up further and further away from me. I couldn’t get up.

"What are you talking about?!" I asked her. I looked at her eyes, they were full of such sadness. Then it clicked. Me. It was me. I’d done that to her. I’d hurt her.

     I jumped up in my bed, sweating and breathing heavily. My hands gripped tightly on the sheets.

"Niall?" a voice made me jump. I looked up to see Liam standing at the end of my bed, a DVD in his hands.

"W…what are you doing here?" I asked him as the rest of the boys entered the room, all of them carrying something.

"We came to see you. To help you." Liam said. I rolled my eyes.

"I don’t need any help." I told him.

"We disagree." Harry said, sitting down on the end of my bed. I sighed.

"Fine. You can ‘help’ me, if it makes you all leave me alone." I said. Louis cheered. They all dragged me into the living room and sat me down on the sofa. Liam put his DVD into the player.

"What are we watching? If it’s toy story again then I am leaving." I told them. Harry, Zayn and Louis laughed whilst Liam shot me a death glare.

"It’s not toy story, now watch it." He said. Images of the five of us came up on the screen, then the first video diary started playing. A smile appeared on my face. Liam paused the DVD.

"This is us. A band of five best friends." Liam said pointing to us on the TV.

"A band of five idiots." Harry joked.

"Shut up Harry." Liam said, annoyed.

"Look at Liam’s hair!" Louis said and we all started laughing, even Liam this time.

"I liked it straight ok! I was young!" Liam defended himself. Once we all calmed down, Harry handed me some Nandos.

"Why did you bring me Nandos?" I asked him.

"Because you LOVE Nandos. Not sluts." He said. I shivered when he said the word ‘love’. It made me think of Mara. Then about the dream.

"I’m sorry." I said.

"Sorry for what?" Harry asked.

"For being an ass." I told him.

"It’s ok. We forgive you." He gave me a hug and it soon became a group hug. "Told you the food would work." Harry said. We pulled apart.

"I need to go and break up with Alisha." I told them as I left the room. I texted her:

Alisha, you’re a great girl, but I don’t think it’s working out. I know you probably hate me for breaking up with you through a text, but I’m in love with someone else. Sorry. - Niall

I was glad it was over. She was really annoying. It was just a shame Mara was gone.

    I spent the rest of the day with the boys. Having ‘bromance’ time with them. We ate loads of pizza, watched a film, not toy story, and played fifa. It was good to be hanging out with the boys again, almost back to my old self again. There was just one thing missing. Mara.
