True love

I was left crumbled and broken that day, but I keep to myself alot. Oh who am I kidding, he took my heart with him. The name is Ashley and this is my story.

Niall and I were sitting on the couch have a popcorn fight.

"Would you two be quite?" My mom yelled

"NO" Niall and I yelled in unison

5 minutes later I was bored and all the popcorn was gone anyway

"So what do you want to do now? We threw most of the popcorn, and we ate the rest."

"Its still okay" Niall claimed through a handful of popcorn "But going to the park would be nice!"

"Fne let's go" I said, but he was already out the door

~at the park~ 

 

"Ashley, I have something to tell you."

That's never a good way to start a conversation I thought

"Just don't freak out okay?

"Okay I won't just spit it out Niall!" By now I was starting to get worried.

"Well, okay then. I - I signed up for the X Factor."

"Niall, that's amazing! Why didn't You tell me sooner?"

"Well, I'm going to have to be away from you for a little while. Like I mean it's not like we're dating or anything but..." he stopped and stared at his feet

"You'll Come back though right?"

"Of course!" Niall quickly exclaimed! " I could never just pick up and leave!"

Then it hit me. Hard.

"What if you win? I'll be happy for you, but the tours, fame, and concerts..." I thought couple of seconds " That's why you're worried isn't it?

He hung his head and nodded

"We can get through it though. I mean we haven't been friends since grade 1 for nothing!" I'm pretty sure I was just saying that to comfort me more than him

How was I going to get through this?

"When do you leave?"I asked shakily

"Tomorrow afternoon"

"Wait, so you're telling me that this is are last day together!"

" Just for a little bit, and I can come and visit between shows."

I was shaking my head and crying

" No you can't go! Please don't go you can't go!"

I ran into his arms and we both just sat there silently crying and comforting each other. Without saying a word we both started to walk back to my house. I just kept thinking that this was it. All those years of being there for each other, over. I don't know if I can do this!

" Well, I guess this is goodbye."

" Not goodbye Ashley, just see you soon. Wish me luck."

" good luck" I managed to say between tears and quick breaths.

He kissed me on the forehead and was gone. That was 3 years ago, and I still haven't gotten over it. Scariest part is I don't think will ever see him again unless it's on the tv. Was I ever wrong!
