Torn Apart (1D Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

It has been three hours. Three hours practicing that stupid piano song for the recital tomorrow. I had enough. I jump on my bed and grab a book. ‘’To kill a mockingbird’’ by Harper Lee. I read it a thousand times already and I wouldn’t mind reading it all over again. I loved reading, singing and dancing. I was the artistic twin. My parents always picked on me, I wasn’t even sure they actually loved me, it was all about Ali.  Ali, on the other hand, was the brains of the whole family. She was into science and maths, and the thoughts of those made me want to puke. We were seventeen. In only a few short months, I would be out of here.

''Come here Ariana! I want to show you something! Come quick!'' said Aliana, my twin sister.

Ugh what does she want again? I sigh and let out a big groan until I finally decide to stand up and make my way to her bed across the bedroom we share.

''What is it, Ali?''

''Come here! One Direction is on the TV again!'' she had an excited tone in her voice.

Oh no, not the fangirling again! I hated that band with a passion. I would much rather listen to Simple Plan or Hedley. There they were, the four British and one Irish boys, in front of me. I had to admit that the one with the brown short hair –was it Liam? - was kind of cute. I could never tell that to my sister though. It has to remain in my head.

On the TV was their latest music video, Kiss You. Not my type of music, at all. Sorry sis.

I got back in my bed and took my pink furry blanky to cover myself up. I was so cold, even if we were in mid-spring. There was a knock on the door. I didn’t feel like moving and nether was Ali so the door opened by itself. It was Tyler, my boyfriend. I smiled to him as he sat on my bed. Ali quickly left the room, pretending to have forgotten something downstairs.

I look at Tyler with questioning eyes.

''Did my dad let you in?'' I ask, curious.

''Yeah, he did.'' His voice was shaky.

''I missed you'', I say, out of the blue.

He came closer to me, took my chin in his hand and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

''I missed you too, sweety'', he said, gently.

He had been away for the weekend to visit his family in Charlotte, North Carolina. His grandfather was in the hospital.

''So, what are we doing now?'' I said, playfully while massaging his back.

''Listen, Ariana, I need to tell you something''

He looked worried and it made me panic.

''What’s wrong Tyler?''

''Well, you know this girl, Jade, right? From my hometown? Last night she came to my grandparent’s house and told me she was in love with me. And…we kissed.''

I couldn’t breathe. I’ve been with Tyler for almost two years now and he just told me he cheated on me? I had to calm down before saying anything because I knew I would just explode.

''And…do you love her back?'' I say, tears starting to fall from my eyes.

''No, of course not! I love you and only you''.

''Well, at least, you were honest and told me the truth I guess.''

''I’m so sorry babe, I had no idea she would try to go that far!'' he looked really sorry.

''But why would she do something like that? She knows you have a girlfriend, right?''

''Yeah, I know.''

I was really upset. I was starting to get dizzy. There was a weird smell nearby…it smelled like…peanut butter. I am deadly allergic to peanut butter.

''Tyler, did you eat peanut butter?''

''What? No! I know you’re allergic, I’m not stupid…oh wait. Jade had been eating some yesterday and I fell asleep so quickly I forgot to brush my teeth.''

''I bet she did it on purpose!''

I had enough. I wanted to roll in a ball and cry myself to sleep. I made myself comfy into Tyler’s arms and burst into tears. He didn’t say anything; he just massaged my back and played with my long blonde hair.

 To be honest, I was ready to end this relationship. I loved him but I don't feel like he's committed into our relationship anymore. Only time will tell...

ALI’S POV

I came back in my bedroom to find Ariana and Tyler had fallen asleep in each other’s arms. They were so cute. I quickly jumped in my bed and whispered them a small goodnight before closing my eyes. Tyler was such a liar, I talked with Meghan, Jade’s best friend, and she told me Tyler and her have been going out for like three months. So basically, he was cheating on my sister. The One Direction boys would never do something like that! I looked at the poster that was beside my bed. I said goodnight to Liam, Harry, Niall, Zayn and Louis before falling in a tormented sleep.
