Two Become One

Chapter 2

Aubrey's P.O.V

No.

No.

No.

No.

i walked back inside my boss' Office. "Uhmm..Boss?" i called out. "Yes?" he replied. "Are you sure..you got the right photo?" i asked. "let me see" he said. i handed him back the photo. he examined it first.

and here's me..praying that he got the wrong photo. "Hmm. yep, this is the right photo." he said. "why?" he asked. "Oh..uh..Nothing." i said quickly. he nodded but still unconvinced. he handed me back the photo as i held it tightly. "well..i have to go..bye!" i said uneasily. i walked out only to be greeted by Stephany.

"OMG. So..what did the Boss tell you?" she asked. "well..i'm going to be One Direction's personal wardrobe stylist." i said still a bit worried. "That's great!" she said. "Y-yeah" i said. she gave me a confused look. "Why are yo-" i cut her off.

"Hey, i need to go. okay? you can come over later in my flat. i just have..things to do." i said rather too quickly. she nodded slowly. "Bye!" i yelled as i ran out to the escalator, down to the parking lot then to my car.

as i got in my car, i took a deep breath. "don't panic, Aubrey." i kept telling myself. i checked the photo again to see if it really was him. mentally praying it wasn't. but yup..it's him.i observed him more. and i realized..

His Curls.. 

His Dimples..

His Smile..

and the thing that i despised the most

those green eyes...

those same green eyes that once brought me fear..those same green eyes that have once abused me..those same green eyes that broke me... 

Anger and sadness boiled into my blood. i felt something wet stream down my cheek. i wiped it off immediatley. you have to be strong Aubrey, be strong. i sniffed as i wiped both the tears that flowed down my cheek.

i started the engine and drove to Mom's house to tell her about the news.

.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'-------------------------

i have arrived on my mom's house. i got my phone and went out with my keys. i locked my car and walked to the house doorstep. i knocked on the door. a few moments later, the door creaked open to reveal my mom. "Hey Mom!" i greeted. she opened the door wider. "Hello, Sweetie." she smiled  then we hugged.

she let me in "So..what brings you here?" she asked as she closed the door. i walked to the living room, "well..technically..i am flying to London because..Modest Management hired me to be a band's personal wardrobe stylist." i said. "Oh my! that's great! but... My baby is growing up to fast." she said as she hugged me.

"Mom.." i whined. she pulled away. "when are you leaving?" she asked. "2 days from now..actually.." i said. i waited for her response but she just stared at me blankly. "wow.." she replied. i sighed then nodded. "so..that means..you need to pack then?" she asked. i nodded. she stood up then went straight to the kitchen.

"want anything?"i heard her faint voice coming from the kitchen. "Just some Apple juice and a turkey sandwich." i said. 

then the rest of the hour, we just chatted and chatted. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay, Mom. Bye!" i waved to her as i walked back to my car. i checked the time "5:50 pm" more time to pack. i drove back to my flat. when i arrived, i got out of my car with my bag, then out of no where my phone beeped. 

it's from Boss Tom. 

"Management told me that on the day you land on London, they will be the one to be picking you up.  -B.T."

"Okay. - Aubrey"

i was now in my flat. i walked to my room. then i crashed on my bed and sighed. well..time to pack. i dressed up into my White t-Shirt and my bunny pajamas and i tied my hair into a messy bun. i have too much clothes. i groaned in frustration. this might take hours. 

i got 2 of my luggage. i won't pack my whole wardrobe though..i mean, i can just go shopping for clothes back in London..and maybe have a little time to go walk down memory lane..yeah. i already miss London..especially Holmes Chapel. 

_______________________________

it has been 2 hours and i'm not yet done packing. well because..i might be using some of the clothes tomorrow. yeah. my phone beeped. again. i stood up from the floor then i walked to my phone. 

 it was from Stephany.

"Hey, Aubs. Can i come over? x- Stephany"

i looked at my flat and how such a mess it is. well... she can bear. 

"Hmm..Sounds like a Sleep Over!! xX - Aubs"

 i went out of my room then i went to the kitchen, i got some cris-..i mean chips, and some beverages. i placed them on the living room's table. then got out some movies which me and Steph can watch. i sat on the couch. indian sit position.

i waited for almost an hour. then i heard a knock on my door. i stood up then walked to the door. then i opened it to see Stephany all pajama'd up and holding a pillow with a wide grin on her face. "Hey, Steph!" i greeted and we hugged.

"Hey!" she said. she put all her stuff on the couch. "Wooooowwww foooddd!!" she drooled all over the crisps. i rolled my eyes with a smile. this is why i'm bestfriends with her. well..technically...when i first moved here in New York, she was my first and closest friend that has helped me.

she helped me feel normal. which is kind of her. 

"have you eaten dinner?" i put on my usual british voice. you can get tired of talking in American sometimes. "Yes..guess what we had for dinner?!" she said childishly. "what?" i asked. "STEAK!" she yelled. i laugh. "guess what i had for dinner!" i said. "what!?" she yelled. "I HAD STEAK TOO!" i yelled.

we squealed. "wait. i have a question." she said. "what is it?" i asked. "This morning...how come you looked so..scared when we were talking about 1D? is there something wrong?" she asked. "Uhm..well.." i guess this is when you tell her about your past isn't it?

oh, boy.

"Well..Steph. it all started 2 years ago..." i explained to her everything. she had a shock look on her face right after i explained everything to her. "So you're telling me...Harry Styles from One Direction bullied you?!" she asked. i nodded. "I have never pictured Harry bullying anyone..i mean, he looks so Innoce-" i cut her off. 

"He isn't." "and he even said that he would never hit a girl!" she ranted. "But he did." i mumbled. . "I'm sorry, Aubs." she said sympathetically. i nodded. tears started to form into my eyes, but i blinked them away. "well..anyways..wanna watch a movie?" she asked obviously trying to lighten up  the mood.

"Yeah!" i said. she got the racks of CDs. "what are you in a mood for?" i asked."I'm in a mood for..a Comedy." she said. i know exactly what we are going to watch. "I Know what we can watch! BRUCE ALMIGHTY!" i yelled in my british voice again. "I AGREE!" she yelled back.
