Torn Apart (1D Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

LIAM’S POV

So… this may sound way too early but I just got a promise ring for Ariana. It’s not a proposal, just a promise that we’ll be together for a long time and be faithful to each other. I want to give it to her now. Yes, now, at 10 a.m. in Louis and Eleanor’s flat, with all of them as my witnesses. That sounds creepy doesn’t it? I just want her to know that I love her and that I’m not ashamed to tell the entire planet that I love her. We were all gathered in the living room, except for Niall and Ariana. Where were they? I looked around the house, peeking in each room to see if they were there. Finally, in the last bedroom, which happened to be the guest room, I found them. Niall was sitting on the bed and Ariana was sitting…on top of him. And they were…kissing. They suddenly stopped and turned around to look at me.

I stood there, speechless, for like five seconds and stormed out. I rushed to my car and turned the radio up. A very familiar song came on…

Girl, it should be me 

Driving to your house 

Knocking on your door 

And kissing you on the mouth 

Holding on your hand 

Dancing in the dark 

Cause I was the only one 

Who loved you from the start

But now when I see you with him it 

Tears my world apart 

Because 

I’ve been waiting 

All this time to finally say it 

But now I see your heart’s been taken 

And nothing could be worse 

Baby, I loved you first. 

Had my chances 

Could've been where he is standing 

That’s what hurts the most, 

Girl, I came so close 

But now you’ll never know 

Baby, I loved you first

Well, that was ironic. I pulled off the driveway and left the street, with nowhere to go. I probably had like 10 missed calls already but I didn’t give a shit. I pulled my cellphone out of my pocket, looked at it for a second and threw it out the window. Nobody would find me that way.

HOW COULD THEY DO THAT TO ME?

I mean … they were both the persons I trusted the most in my entire life. Had this been going on for long? Ugh, I need to change my mind. I need … I need… There was a man on the side of the road, hiding between two buildings. He had a small bag in his hands. Exactly what I needed. I slowed down and the man came to me.

‘’What can I give you, young man?’’ He asked, with his toothless grin. He was wearing a dark green long coat, red ripped pants, a yellow used jumper and a blue beret. It was a weird combination.

‘’Oh, anything you have’’. I didn’t care. I just wanted to forget what just happened. He handed me a small bag with eight white pills and I gave him 250 £ and quickly drove off. I found a small park not far from my parent’s home. Wow I drove like three hours without noticing. Anyways, like I said, I was in Wolverhampton and found a small, deserted, park. I used to come here when I was a child with Nicola and Ruth and we would play hide and seek for hours. I always won because I knew a perfect spot where no one would ever found me, and that’s exactly where I was going. I got off my car and threw the keys in the nearby ditch. I ran to the park and made my way to my secret place. It was a small tunnel under a bridge, which was accessible by going down a very steep hill. I practically jumped down. I hid in the tunnel, with a little stream of water passing by. I sat down, bought my knees to my chest and cried my eyes out. It was late at night when I finally stopped crying. I took off the little plastic bag from my pocket, as well as my iPod. I selected an Avenged Sevenfold playlist, turned the volume to the maximum and took the eight little pills in my hand, looked at them carefully and shove them all in my mouth. I started to feel dizzy quickly. Then, hallucinations, or I think it was something like that. Finally, what I have been waiting for: darkness. I could not see anything but was still able to hear a little. Or was I?  Soon after, nothing. It all went black.

NIALL’S POV

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

FUCK.

Liam was going to kill me.  

I felt Ariana pull apart quickly from our kiss so I turned around to see what was going on and I saw it: Liam. I ran after him but he had already stormed out of the apartment. I decided to leave him alone for now; I would have time to explain soon anyways. If he ever wants to talk to me again…what have I done OMG I’m so stupid…stupid hormones…stupid feelings…I needed something to calm me down. Nando’s.  I gave Ariana a small smile and left the room.

I went back to my flat and grabbed my keys before leaving for Nando’s. I ordered and while I waited for my food, I quickly texted Ariana:

Don’t worry; everything will be alright, xxx

ARIANA’S POV

‘’ Don’t worry; everything will be alright, xxx’’

Everything will be alright my ass, you just ruined my entire relationship with the love of my life, dumbass. I was so frustrated, I couldn’t hold in my tears anymore. I let them out and soon, I felt a pair of warm hands encircling my body and massaging my back. I cried even harder. I turned back and buried my chest in Louis’ chest. I felt another pair of hands trying to comfort me, it must be Eleanor. They sat there with me, not saying a word, comforting me the best they could. We must have stayed there for at least five hours; I had no time notion at all.

‘’I don’t want to go back to my place’’ I manage to say, tears still falling heavily.

‘’It’s alright love, you can stay here as long as you want to’’, Louis said with his warm calming voice. I was truly blessed to have such amazing friends like them. They stayed with me for a while, trying to change my mind, and finally, after hours of tossing and turning and thinking about Liam, I fell asleep.
