Torn Apart (1D Fanfiction)

Chapter 3

ALI’S POV

Today was the day I finally meet my idols. I had to make myself pretty. I took a long shower and blow-dried my think blonde hair and let the natural curls loose. I chose some dark skinny jeans and a long sleeveless white shirt. On top of that, a purple Jack Wills hoodie that my aunt got me from her trip to London. I loved that shirt since Harry had the same one. I blasted the ‘Up All Night’ CD to get me in the mood. Well, I was already in the mood. I just blasted their music because I wanted to. I applied some make up, grabbed my purse to pick up my iPhone and texted Tori, my best friend. Her real name was Victoria but she hated it. She was the one coming with me at the concert.  

-Hey Tori! Ready to go? :D

-Yep, we’re in Max’s car and leaving now! OMGOMGOMG I’M SO EXCITED!

-ME TOO!

I was beyond excited; there were no words to describe my excitement. I was worried about Ariana though. It’s been two weeks since she and Tyler broke up and she wasn’t feeling any better. I try to change her mind and cheer her p as much as I can but nothing will do. She loved him and only time will heal her scars. I never had a boyfriend for more than a week, so I never really got attached to someone like these two were. I feel so bad for her. Wish I could help her. Before leaving, I went to see her. She was listening to her usual Simple Plan with her iPod and almost jumped when she saw me.

-Hey you, what’s up?

-Well, my boyfriend cheated on me, and my life is practically over, and you?

-Don’t say that! You’ll find another one, one who won’t make you cry and who really loves you.

-Yeah, but how, Ali? Have you noticed I only attract jerks? What is wrong with me?

-There’s nothing wrong with you! Society is f**ked up and guys…will be guys…

We could hear Alexander running in the hallway, trying to break a wall or something.

Like I said, guys will be guys…

-Ali, what if I never find anyone who loves me ever again?

I didn’t know how to answer that. But I knew, deep down my heart, that she will find the love of her life someday. And this weird feeling inside of me tells me it could happen way earlier than expected…

-Trust me, you will. You just have to be careful, but remember, you can’t fly unless you let yourself fall. That quote was our motto. We have it both tattooed on our wrists. I gave her a quick hug and left. Tori and Max were probably here now, anyways.

I rushed downstairs and almost tripped.

-Hey there, be careful! It’s gonna be packed with tons on people you know.

-Yes mom, I know.

-Alright dear, I think your drive is here. Have fun! I’ll go check on your sister.

-Bye mom!

I went outside to see Max’s big yellow Hummer. I jumped in and we drove all the way from Brooklyn to New York to what was going to be the best day of my entire life. When we left out street, I saw a familiar face walk on the sidewalk: a familiar face that looked exactly like mine actually. Ariana.

ARIANA’S POV

I had to get out. I had my earphones plugged in and just walked. I didn’t know where I was going; I just knew I needed to get out. I wore some light skinny jeans, a black leather belt, a simple blue t-shirt and a bright yellow hoodie. The voice of Pierre Bouvier into my ears and my head, I forgot everything for a little while. I walked for what looked like days but when I had a look at my cellphone; it had only been two hours and a half. I was in New York City. Right in front of the Madison Square Garden, actually. There was literally millions of screaming girls all over the place…but why? Oh yeah, there was a One Direction concert tonight…I should’ve known…

I slowly make my way across the hurricane of screaming girls. I can’t believe my sister is there somewhere. I go to the back of the building, where the tour buses are and sat down against the brick wall. I bring my knees to my face and start crying. I hated Tyler, but at the same time, I wanted to forgive him and live happily ever after. But that wasn’t going to happen so I continued crying until someone sat near me. I paused my music but still left my earphones in so I could hear what was going on without them knowing.

-I tell you, Liam, leave her alone! An Irish accent said.

-No, replied Liam. If she needs someone to talk to I’ll be there.

-Liam, are you coming? A soft British accent shouted.

-Wait a moment, Harry. I want to talk to her.

Liam, Harry...Irish accent… OH MY GOD. I WAS IN PRESENCE OF ONE DIRECTION.

I freezed for a second. I slowly take off my earphones and give my full attention to Liam, who was still sitting beside me.

-I’m Liam, he says, with a big smile on his face. Up close and in real, he was much more handsome than I thought.

-Leave me alone please? I ask firmly.

-Can you please tell me your name? He asked, still giving me his beautiful smile.

-I’m Ariana Parker, I say, playing with my earphones. I really wanted him to leave.

-Well nice to meet you, Ariana. Are you coming to the show tonight?

-No, I replied, being on my last nerve.

-What’s wrong? Do you want to talk about it?

I was getting really annoyed. However, I couldn’t resist his smile and decided to give him a chance.

-Yeah, I guess I can tell you… my boyfriend…well, my ex-boyfriend, he cheated on me and I don’t know what to do anymore. I really loved him and I can’t stop thinking about him, even if he broke my heart.

-Oh wow, Liam said, calmly. I’m really sorry for you. He’s a jerk. I would never do that to a girl, especially a girl like you.

OMG, DID HE JUST SAID I WAS SPECIAL OR SOMETHING?

Okay, Ariana, breathe. He’s just some guy from a boy band you can’t even stand.

-Well thank you. Even since it happened, I felt lost. It feels like a part of me is gone, you see what I mean?

-Totally. It happened to me before, but my music is what kept me going on.

-I listen to music all the time! I shout, happily.

-How about our music, he asks teasingly?

-To be honest, I don’t really enjoy it that much. But my sister is a freak!

He laughed loudly. He had a beautiful laugh. It made me feel better.

-Would you like to come to the concert? You could meet the boys and we could go out afterwards if you don’t mind?

I didn’t really wanted to go but I had nothing better to do so I said yes. I got up and followed Liam into the arena and thought to myself: I think I may like him.
