Torn Apart (1D Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

a quick chappie here :)

NIALL’S POV

What the hell was it already September? Where did the summer go?

I would be turning 20 in a week. That’s old, if you ask me. It has been a few weeks since Ariana was living with us. At first, I was skeptical because I thought she would freak out over our weirdness but it turned out perfect. Liam was in love, I could definitely feel it. And by having these two always happy together, it made us all happier. But sooner or later, the fun’s gotta end, right?

We were going back to the UK tomorrow.

I didn’t want to leave; I wanted to stay in New York my entire life. But at the same time, I kind of missed home. I wanted to lie in my own bed and have a shower in my own shower and eat food from my kitchen. Okay, I’d eat any food. Food was good.

I shove my iPhone in my pockets and left the kitchen. I walked in the living room. Liam and Ariana were snuggled under a blanket and watching a movie on Liam’s iPad. Louis was talking to Eleanor on Skype and arranging a date for tomorrow, while Harry was making funny faces at her behind Louis’ shoulder. Zayn was asleep on the floor beside Liam. I found an empty spot on the couch and squeeze in beside Liam. My cellphone rang in my pocket, I pick it up. It was Paul.

OH SHIT

I hang up quickly and turn to Liam:

‘’Mate, I need to talk to you, Paul just called’’, I say, panicking.

He immediately felt that something was wrong so he pulled apart from Ariana and we went to the kitchen.

‘’What’s wrong Niall?’’ He looked worried.

‘’The paparazzi. They know about you and Ariana. And they want an interview’’.

‘’Oh, great’’, he said, sarcastically. Now what?

‘’I don’t know Liam, I really don’t know.’’

‘’I don’t want her to be in the spotlight! Imagine how much hate she is going to get from the fans! ‘’

I heard something from the living room so I decided to look. Ariana had my guitar in her hands and was playing ‘’Kiss Me’’ by Ed Sheeran.

Settle down with me 

Cover me up 

Cuddle me in 

Lie down with me 

Hold me in your arms 

Your heart's against my chest 

Lips pressed to my neck 

I've fallen for your eyes 

But they don't know me yet 

And the feeling I forget 

I'm in love now 

Kiss me like you wanna be loved 

Wanna be loved 

Wanna be loved 

This feels like I've fallen in love 

Fallen in love 

Fallen in love 

Settle down with me 

And I'll be your safety 

You'll be my lady

It was beautiful. We all stood there, silent, like hypnotized by her voice. It was flawless, it was pure, and it was perfect. After she was done, we all cheered for her. I didn’t know she had such talent. I whispered something to Liam and he nodded, giving me a big smile. We had a plan. As soon as we get in London, I would arrange a recording session with Ed for her. It would be her birthday gift. She will be 18 two days after my birthday. It will be perfect.

ARIANA’S POV

I can’t believe it. It literally was a love swap. Only few months ago, I hated One Direction and my sister was crazy about them. Today, I’m dating one of them and living together while she didn’t even care about them anymore. Harry felt so bad for rejecting her but, as he explained, she was getting on his nerves and pushing her away radically seemed the only possible way to make her understand his feelings. He was such a nice guy, he was hilarious. I had fun with all of them. Zayn was like my big brother, always making sure I was okay and protecting me. Louis was the clown, the one to make me pee in my pants laughing. He always managed to put a smile on my face in my darkest days. Harry was an amazing friend. Like I said, he was hilarious. He and Louis together were…indescribable. We always had a great time together. Finally, Niall. He was my best friend. My confident, my shoulder to lean on when I was in trouble. I liked him a lot.

As a friend here! Don’t get me wrong! I love Liam with all I have.

And tomorrow we were moving together.

He had asked me last week, while we were out on a date. They purchased a complex with four apartments and we would take one, as well as Louis and Eleanor, Zayn and Perrie and Niall and Harry would live together also. It was going to be fantastic!

It would be my first time ever taking a plane. The only place I have been beside New York is San Francisco so I was super pumped to go to the UK. The boys had an interview in London early in the morning the day after tomorrow and they needed to get to the studio to write some new songs for their third album. It will be called ‘’Freedom’’. I had the chance to hear a couple of songs already and-

‘’Ariana!” Liam shouted from the kitchen.

I stood up and went to find him. He was sitting on the kitchen counter while Niall was scanning the fridge. He grabbed my hand slowly and led me to his -our- bedroom and closed the door.

‘’Listen, he said, nervously. ‘’We need to talk’’.

What was going on? I was confused. He started:

‘’I think it’s time to make our relationship public. Well we kind of don’t have a choice actually. The paparazzi saw us earlier this week and we’re all over the news. They want an interview with us, but only if you want to. ‘’

‘’That’s alright, anything for you baby’’ I didn’t care ONE BIT what everyone would think of me. I was happy and in love and nobody could ever take that from me.

***

We arrived in London and made it safely to our new home. It was perfect. The exterior was all brick with some white shutters and it had a country feel to it. We were on the ground, with Louis and Eleanor above us and Niall and Harry beside us. Zayn and Perrie were on top of them.

Louis and Zayn were so happy to see their girlfriends, it was obvious that they missed them and they were jealous of Liam and me. After we were finally settled down and unpacked, I jumped on our kind bed and buried my face in one of the fluffy pillows we had just bought. It smelled good. It smelled like Liam. Speaking of him, he entered the room at the very moment I was smelling the pillow. Awkward.

LIAM’S POV

I entered the bedroom to find Ariana lying on our bed, face in my pillow. I loved her so much. I was glad she was mine. I jumped on the bed and sat next to her. I played with her blonde wavy hair for a bit and she fell asleep. It was a peaceful, beautiful sleep. I carefully lied down and she moved to rest her head on my chest. I circled her body with my arms and we both fell asleep just like that.

ALI’S POV

OMG what I have done. Ariana was nowhere  to be seen and would not pick up my phone calls. I needed to talk to her, I needed to explain… I screwed up so bad. What was wrong with me anyways? I need to find her, Now.
