The Only Way I Know (a one direction fanfic)

Old Friends

****1 month later****

 

Carmen's P.O.V.

I sit at home.  Well at least, that's what I call it now. Actually it's my friends' house. Caitlyn. In the past she was always there for me, but I left her because a better deal came along. I know what I did was completely wrong, but she's not perfect either.

I think way too much of that night.  I know I need something to distract me for a long while.  I blame myself for everything that happened.  If I hadn't insisted on trying to run away from home, my mother would still be alive.

****FLASHBACK****

"Why cant you just let me go, mum," I exclaimed.

"Honey, I know your fathers death wasn't the best, but that doesn't mean you have to push me away.  I love you," my mum camly explained.

"You never loved me and you never will," I screamed while running out the door with only a hoodie and some sweats on.

Eventually, it started to rain lightly, then a heavy downpour took over.  I don't exactly know where I was going, but all I knew was I that I had to get away from that hell hole.  My mother was always drunk or high after my fathers death.

I slowed down to a steady walking pace. I had my hood on my head and I was thinking that people probably thought that I was some shady robber.  I was walking past some houses in my neighborhood when I heard a low engine creep up behind me.

The window rolled down. It was my mum and she was pleading for me to just get in the car.  I refused at first then finally decided to just get in and get it over with.  Her speech was slurred when trying to speak and instantly realized I should not have gotten in the car.

She made a U-Turn and started to slowly drive back to the house on the now slippery road.  Apparently she was driving too slow for the driver behind us. He honked and she sped up a little.  He was right on our bumper so mum hit the gas and all I heard were the tires spin.

We hydro-planed into the car behind us because he wasn't fast enough to hit his brakes. We hit the car and spun until we were abruptly stopped by hitting a tree.

 

****END OF FLASHBACK****

 

My thoughts were interrupted by someone walking through the front door.  It was just Caitlyn.  I carefully examined her as she walked in.  I was so jealous of her.  She had long natural bleach blonde hair that raised just above her hips. With turquoise eyes and the smoothest skin I've ever seen.

I noticed the she still wore our bonding necklace.  I still wore mine, but it didn't mean much anymore since one of the group was gone.

My little Nialler. He was perfect. But then Caitlyn had to go and snatch him away from me.  We had a perfect relationship, we were best friends. We had been, for our whole lives.  Then she took him from me. Took my happiness away and the only thing that kept me from going crazy.

After that, he left for the X Factor.  Just straight up left with no warning or goodbye.  Now he's famous in a band called One Direction.

 

***5 months later***

 

I hear Niall is in town which kinda pisses me off.  But I have more important things to worry about.  I get to leave finally!!!  I'm leaving my once best friend to go live in my new home.  I am glad that I am leaving anyways, because she was never home. Always with some guy at his house or a motel.  I despised her for that because I knew Niall liked her before he left. He said goodbye to her and the way he looked at her. You could tell he wanted to be all over her.

I finally drive up to Caitlyn's house to tell her the good news.  The door was unlocked which surprised me a lot.  I walk inside.  "Caitlyn," I anxiously call. No answer. I decide to look around. I walk into the kitchen to find nothing. 

I head into the living room to see what I feared most.  She was lying there dead on the floor.  I screamed and then noticed that the bonding necklace was gone.  She never took it off, not even in the shower.

****One Week Later****

I'm sitting at Starbucks alone, when I get an unknown call. I decide not to answer it.  The number calls again and finally I answer it.  "Hello," an all too familiar accent says.  I would know that voice anywhere. I quickly hang up, anxiously waiting for the next call.
