Fixed (Sequel to Broken)

8

I jumped up from the couch instantly.
"Where is she?!"
"Down town."
I ran as fast as I could. I had to get my girl.
At one point I was mobbed by the paps. Questions thrown at me left and right. My eye was caught by a magazine. I grabbed it from the persons hands.

SARAH ABANDONED AT HOTEL FOR 3 DAYS

I chucked the magazine to the ground and pushed threw the crowd.
Eventually I saw Sarah through the window of Starbucks. I rushed over to finally reach her walking out the back door.
I almost caught up to her until I slipped on the turn when a small down pour hit.

"Sarah!" I yelled. She turned at the sound of my voice. I saw her breath shake.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean what I said! please do you forgive me?"
Sarah opened her mouth but said nothing. "I was stupid and i let you slip away too easily. I'm lost without you! I could be dying and it wouldn't be this painful..... I can't live without you, cause without you... it hurts. And there's no one else I could ever be with. there's no one else that I could ever love." Sarah still said nothing. "Please just say something!"

•••SARAHS POV•••

"Please just say something!" Niall called over the rain falling between us.

"You didn't come after me."
It's all I could think about. He let me slip threw his fingers like sand. I thought we were done. And i don't want us to be done. The pain was real. the struggle of possibly letting go. I've never been good at goodbyes.

"I didn't know you wanted me to." Niall walked closer.
"It's all I wanted." I told him eventually wrapping my arm around his neck.
"I'm sorry." He whispered and pressed his head to mine. "I'll never make the same mistake again."
Our lips connected. There they are. The sparks I thought were gone.

"I love you." Niall whispered in my ear, "can you please forgive me?"
i pulled him in for another kiss. "Does that answer your question?" I giggled.
Niall picked me up and spun my around in the rain.
His smile faded. His fingers brushed over my bruised cheek.
"I'll never forgive myself."
I took his hand away from my face.
"... I know."
"Niall?" I looked up to his beautiful eyes, "I love you too."
He frown turned into a smile. His beautiful smile.
We locked hands and walked back to the hotel.
When we walked into the room both of our expressions changed when we saw Ben sitting on the bed.
"H-how did you..." I stopped when Brynn walked into view, nervously biting her lip. My question was answered. Brynn let him in.
Niall squeezed my hand and began to trudge towards Ben.
"Niall." I held him back "not again."
His breath shook. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked into the room with Ben and shut the door.

"Sarah-" Ben started
"No. I'm gunna talk and you're gunna listen!" I demanded.
"I honestly thought that we could still be friends but..." I stopped to smell the air. Something was toxic. I could smell the lingering sent of both smoke and alcohol. "H-have you been drinking? and smoking?!"
"N-nnnoo." Ben slurred.
I grabbed his face an pointed it to me. His eyes were blood shot.
"What the hell, Ben, you're high." I scoffed and pushed him back. He flopped down on the bed with a small cough.
"Are you drunk too?" I was so pissed at him right now.
"M-maybe a l-litt-ttle." He choked.
I grunted in annoyance.
"Sorry. You just left, I got worried and depressed." Ben used to have a drinking problem, this is not my fault!
"Are you fucking serious?!" I shouted "i did nothing! you almost cost me my relationship!"
"Oh come on."
"I honestly thought we could still be friends but clearly not!"
"Come on babe." Ben grabbed me by the waist and pulled me on top of him.
"Ben stop. Let me go." I struggled to get away.
Ben pushed me under him.
"Ben I'm serious!" I tried to push him off.
But then he began to strip off my shirt and kiss at my exposed skin.
"NIALL!!" I shouted. "NIALL HELP!"
The door bursted open. Ben was yanked away and thrown harshly to the wall.
Niall didn't even bother to beat on Ben, he rushed to my side.

•••NIALLS POV•••

I turned to Sarah.
She sat on the ground with a frazzled expression.
Frightened.
I'm not sure of me or Ben.
I walked over to her and helped her up. Her breath pattern came back to normal. She wrapped her arms around my neck and squeezed me in a hug.
I held her tight to my body.
"I'll never let you go." I spoke through her hair "I love you so much."
"I love you too." She kissed my cheek and separated from the hug.

We both held each other and left everything silent.
"S-Sarah." Ben slurred while he stumbled up from the floor. I stepped forward only to be pulled back by Sarah.
Sarah approached Ben with a look of ferocious rage.
She yanked him to his feet by the collar of his stained shirt. She forcefully pushed him against the wall.

"We're not friends anymore! I hate you!" She began to slap at at Ben.
"You never learn!"
Ben began to cover his face from her flying fists.
"Sarah stop!" Ben pleaded.
"This is your fault!" was Sarah crying?
She is!
I rushed over and pulled her away from Ben.
She collapsed into my arms and continued to sob.
I picked her up and carried her out of the room.

***ONE HOUR LATER***

I walked into the room Ben was still in.
"You need to go." I said with a stern voice.
"Can I-"
"No."
"But-"
"No! you can either leave now or with a bloody nose. Your choice."
"I-"
I grabbed Ben by the shirt and yanked him out. He stumbled behind me, his eyes didn't leave Sarah.
"Can I at least say goodbye?" he begged.
"No!"
Before I pushed him out the door I was stopped.
"Wait!" Sarah shouted.

•••SARAHS POV•••

I shuffled over to Ben. I took him outside the room. Niall grabbed my hand and gave me a longing look.
I gave him a look and he let my hand go.
Ben and I stepped out.
I fought back the tears when I saw his eye begin to water.
"Please don't do this." He pleaded.
"You did this Ben. Not me." A tear slipped.
"I just want you to know I never planned for any of this to happen. Please just give me one more chance."
"I can't do that... it's hard for me too."
"Yeah, it's hard... cause I'm losing the most amazing girl out there." A tear fell down his cheek.
"And I lost my best friend."
"I'm your best friend?"
"Besides Niall... you were."
"I was?"
"You've changed. The old Ben, he was my best friend... not this. I lost my best friend a long time ago."
"I'm gunna miss you."
"Goodbye Ben."
Before I could turn back into the door Ben pulled me in for a hug. I couldn't help but squeeze him back.
In all honesty I'll miss him too.
A minute later, we pulled apart. Ben had tears streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry, but this is the way things have to be." I couldn't risk anything with the tension between him and Niall. He couldn't control himself. And at times Ben did have drinking problem, if this is the way he wa going to act when he was drunk I can't be around this. I can't handle being his friend. He's too possessive. He didn't learn. He did this to us. Not me.
"Sarah please, I'm sorry! I was a jack ass! but please please-"
"No ben!" I shouted. "...Goodbye." I walked inside and fell into Niall's arms.

After 30 minutes of tears Niall finally spoke to me. "How are you?"
"I just lost my best friend."
