I'll Fix Your Broken Heart (Lawson Fanfic)

Chapter Two - Erin's Choice

(Erin's Point of View)

Oh god. I was dreading today. It's been three months since we split up. I don't know what it was but I just felt like I needed a change. We'd been together for two years and I don't know to be honest, I think I was just getting bored of Andy. He's a lovely guy and he was one of the best boyfriends I've ever had but our whole relationship just became repetitive. What we did, where we went, what we said to each other. It was just one unbreakable cycle. Well technically breakable since we broke up. I haven't seen him since the break up but here I was, waiting by the pier where he brought me on our first date. I leant against the railing and took a deep breath of the salty air. I loved the pier because it held so many memories for me. Not just with Andy but of family holidays. I guess that's how I first met Andy, on a family holiday when we came down here two years ago. He was working in one of the cafes that we went to and not to sound like a total cliche but it was love at first sight. I instantly fell for him and went back to the cafe every day for the rest of the holiday to see him and speak to him. After that it was a long distance relationship seeing as he lived in Liverpool and I lived up in Scotland. I was brought out of my memory by someone tapping my shoulder.

   "Erin?" the strong accent spoke and I took a deep breath before turning to face him.

   "Hi Andy," I said in a small voice. I felt horrible for our break up because it was because of me and how I felt that we did.

   "Wanna go into the cafe? Warm up a bit you look frozen." he said. I nodded and walked alongside him up the pier and into the cafe which held so many memories for us. Andy's old boss smiled at him as we walked in. I headed up to a booth in the back whilst he went and got us drinks. I slid into the booth and pulled my coat off and set it down next to me. Andy came back with our drinks and sat across from me and slid my drink across the table. I smiled in thanks and took a sip.

   "So why did you want to see me? We haven't spoken in three months since you know..." I trailed off and looked away from him. 

   "Well I just wanted to let you know I'm moving to London. I'm gonna try get somewhere with music and singing. I didn't really just want to leave without saying anything to you." he explained. I was happy for him. He'd always wanted a career in music and now he was finally doing something about it. However I couldn't help but feel hurt and upset that he was leaving Liverpool.

   "I'm happy for you Andy! It's what you've always wanted and now you're doing something about it." I said with a smile plastered on my face. Don't get me wrong, we're no longer together but you never forget you're first love and Andy was mine. He'll always be a part of my life no matter what. "I just hope we can still be friends despite everything that happened between us. Cause you mean a lot to me whether we're a couple or not and I'd hate to lose that." I said to him. He gave me that charming smile I loved and reached over to take my hand.

   "Course Erin. I'd hate to lose it too." I felt a weight lift off my shoulders after that. We'd gotten past the awkwardness that was the aftermath of our break up. I could now move on to someone else if I wanted and so could he yet I still had him in my life. 

   "So tell me how you're gonna get famous?" I asked and relaxed a little more than I previously had been. We may have spent three months of not speaking after the break up but here we were, moving past it and being friends.
