Back to the start

This isn't happening.
This can't be happening.
But it is happening.
He's marrying her. He's marrying the girl who was 'just a silly mistake'.

Oh god I'm going to cry.
No Hannah, pull yourself together. It's been 2 years since you last saw him, he's been with her all that time. You've got to let him be happy.

Unknowingly, I took a seat beside my brother at the breakfast table and forced myself to read the article.

He took her to Disneyland. That was my thing! I always joked to him that if he ever wanted to propose to me then he better do it in Disney or the answer would be no.

I felt a couple of tears slowly leak from my eyes and make tracks down my face. Louis stood up from the counter and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug.

I let the tears fall out, sheltered by the protective arms of my big brother.

A few seconds had passed before I felt more arms wrap around me, and when I eventually managed to stop the tears and lift my head, I found myself in the middle of a one direction hug, with Esme stroking my hair from the back.

I smiled weakly at them all, wiping my face with my sleeve.

"That bastard" Harry cursed, reading the front page of the paper. He pulled me into his chest briefly, not saying another word of comfort. He didn't need to, everything he could've said was translated in that hug.

I pulled away from him quickly, not meeting his eyes.

"Please let's not make a big deal of this" I turned back to address the whole group. "It's happening, I need to deal with it"

Everyone nodded in assent but with pursed lips. Lou looked furious as he threw the offending newspaper in the bin.

"Why don't we do something today, all together?" Niall suggested in an attempt to lighten the mood.

"We could go to the beach? It's a nice day for it" Esme offered.

Everyone looked at me for input. To be perfectly honest I just want to crawl back into bed and cry myself to sleep, but how is that going to help?

"Sure" I gave a half hearted smile, suddenly feeling self conscious at how much of a mess I must look right now.

"Han, do you mind if I have a quick word?" Liam asked shyly.

"Erm, yeah sure" I agreed quizzically as everyone else ran upstairs to get ready.

Liam led me into the living room and sat down on the sofa, gesturing for me to take a seat opposite him.

I sat down and looked at him expectantly, it's not often that Liam gets nervous so this must be something big. I immediately began to worry, thinking of all the worst possible outcomes of this situation.

Really though, I needn't have worried.

"So erm,I know you're not staying here long, and you've got uni to think about..." he began awkwardly.
"And me and the lads are starting our second album, but we're kinda under a lot of pressure because the tour has been booked and it's due to start in December and everything we've come up with is shit and Simon has hired so many top songwriters but we still haven't got anything we liked and you wrote so many amazing songs for our first album and like I said I know you're so busy..." I smiled to myself at his nervous rambling and cut him off before he had chance to work himself into a stupor.

"Li, it would be my honour to write you guys some more songs" I smiled at him reassuringly.

He let out a sigh of relief.
