Lucky Breakdown

Chapter 3

Keep your cool Abby, keep your cool, I thought to myself as I was leading them down my stairs.

"Oohhh you have a rocking couch!!!" Harry screams as he runs over to the love seat rocker couch.

"Weeeeeeeeeeee!" He yells as he pushes himself back and fourth. Before I knew it, all 5 boys had piled on the couch, and were rocking back and fourth. Good they'll be entertained for a few minutes so I can get my thoughts together.

People say I'm shy, but really I'm not. Ok maybe a little, but I'm not the kind of shy where I can only say one word and then go hide in a corner. Ill try to be super open and just be myself with these guys. I know they'll like me, I'm just like them for gods sake! Crazy, funny, friendly, and all that. Ok they're off the rocking chair... They're moving to their own seats now. Ill just sit in my little fluffy seat by the big couch. Time to socialize. Don't be shy, don't be shy... Just be yourself. Ok here goes nothing....

"So Abby, I must say you're very pretty... I think I can speak for all of us when I say that. How old are you?" Harry says to me. What a flirt. I couldn't help but blushing even though he probably says that to lots of girls.

"Thanks! I'm 17.... Junior in high school"

"Ahhh high school, how I would never go back. I hated it... Not that that should have any impact on you.. Eerrr umm how do you like it?" Liam says

"oh I love it! I mean it's so much work, especially this year, but it's almost over. I can stick through it for the last 2 months."

And the conversation went on like this for a while, small talk and all that good stuff. Family, friends, music, movies, and all that jazz. It was all pretty easy stuff to talk about... Until Zayn asked a more personal question..

"So Abby, you got a boyfriend?"

I cringed at those words. My last boyfriend was, well, for lack of a better term, a complete and utter asshole. We went out for 8 months. I was so in love with him. But one day I went on Facebook and saw a picture of him making out with this girl from another town. I knew he was talking to her, but he told me she was his cousin. I was heartbroken, but being the optimistic person I am, I was hoping it was photoshopped or from a while ago or something. I called him, but he never answered, so I decided to text him. "What's that picture on Facebook you got tagged in..." A few hours later, I got the response I had dreaded from the second I saw the picture. The words are forever burned into my brain. "about that.... We've kinda been dating for 3 months. Me and you? We're done. I just wanted to see how far I could get with you. When you refused to go any further, I started looking for someone who would. I never really loved you, you ugly peace of shit. "

I was shocked, heartbroken, and well, just wanted to punch him in the face. I couldn't believe Id been cheated on... And used for the past 8 months!

"Are you serious!? You told me you loved me! That you could see me being 'the one' and that you'd love me forever. Are you seriously dumping me just because I won't give you what you want? I would never do that... Especially not at this age, or ever! What's worse is you told me she was your cousin.... You fucking pig. I hate you."

"Good. I hope you know all those I love yous were fake. I thought it would just get me farther. I never loved you, or even liked you for that matter. This girls so much better. She's pretty, and skinny, unlike you, you fat ugly bitch."

"Goodbye forever, asshole."

Was all I could say. I cried for the longest time that night.... He knew my weight was something I was always self conscious about..... I tired my hardest to hold back the tears when Zayn said that, but I just couldn't.

"Oh my gosh Abby I'm so sorry to bring up a sore subject.... If you don't wana talk about it I understand, but I just want you to know the boys and I are great listeners"

"No it's ok.... I can talk about it..." I say, the crying slowing down a little bit.

I explained to them the story. After it ended, all of them stood up, and Niall said "Where's this guy live? Sounds like he needs a good ass kicking! How could someone do that to such a sweet girl like you!"

"Yeah! Lets go kick some ass!" The boys say in unison.

" It's ok guys.. No really it is. As much as I would love to see that, I don't need you guys getting into any trouble. Can we please just talk about something else?"

"Actually... I had something kind of similar happen to me. I know exactly how you feel Abby, and I'm here for you" Niall says, as he gives me a big hug. This made me instantly happier. We sat back down in our seats, and started having the deepest conversation. It was kinda weird, I only knew these guys for like 2 hours, and we were telling each other things you wouldn't normally tell someone you just met. They were telling me about how homesick they've gotten, and how sometimes they wish they could just have some privacy, or go home to see their family more than they do now. I had learned things no gossip site or fan written fast site had known.

" wow, I feel like this has been some depressing talk... How about something happier! Umm.... Lets tell funny stories!" Louis suggests

And we did. I was actually being my true self around these guys, and usually it takes a while for me to do that. I was cracking jokes left and right, and just being my charming, cheeky self.

"Ok guys, the repair man's coming in an hour to take the bus. I have no idea how long it'll take to repair it... We might be here a while. Just thought I'd update you." Their bus driver says.

"Yaaaaay more time with our new friend Abby!" The boys say together. I was happy as well.

"Yay! Scuse me guys, I have to go to the bathroom. Be back in a flash!"

"Ok!"

Liam looks over at Niall, and notices he has a huge grin on his face.

"Niiiaalll you liiikkeee heeerrrr. I can tell by that huge grin on your face" Liam teases him

"Nahhhh... Well I mean she's gorgeous, and funny, how could you not! We'll see how things go..."

"ohh what you boys talking about?" I say, walking back

" Oh nothing... Nothing at all" they say while giving each other a strange look.

"Surree... Surree. Dang I'm hungry. You guys wana order a pizza or something?"

"HELL YEAH!" The boys say together. I walked up stairs and got the the phone and the menu for Dominoes.

What were Niall and Liam talking about....
