One Shots

Two Years Ago {od}

It was two years ago. Everything happened two years ago. Two years ago, we were friends. Two years ago, we were dating. Two years ago, we broke up. Two years ago, we were in a band. Two years ago, our band finally broke up. And two years later, I finally found the need to express my feelings.

After two years, I thought I would have gotten over him. I thought by now, his curls wouldn’t mean something. But all I think about, is what it would feel like to run my fingers through his hair again. I can’t stop thinking about his lips. I can’t stop thinking about what it would be like to kiss them again. I can’t stop thinking about if he was happy, with his family. I can’t stop thinking about if he would be happier with me.

I can’t stop thinking of him.

It was the anniversary, the anniversary of our first day as a band. The first day we formed. We always come together on this day, even though we’re broken up.

Everyone had a family to go home to. Everyone had a job they loved. Everyone had someone who loved them back.

Louis had Eleanor, which was surprising, since they broke up for a few years, and got back together suddenly. They got married not long after, that part wasn’t shocking. They said they were pregnant, and couldn’t wait longer to get married. They had a son, Eleanor’s hair – which was different, because it looked like Louis – and Louis’ blue eyes. Cute baby, may I add, but Theo’s cuter.

Zayn had Perrie, which was nice, because when we broke up, Perrie’s band, Little Mix, was already broken up due to everyone being married. They had a kid, not long after Little Mix broke up, and he was a handsome kid. Similar to Zayn, but also Perrie. And then last year, they finally had another kid, a girl. She is pretty; she looks a lot like Perrie, but with Zayn’s eyes and jawline.

Liam had Sophia, which was surprising, because I always thought it would Danielle. Not that it matters, because he’s happy. He’s happily married, and still talks to Danielle. Sophia didn’t care, because she didn’t have to worry – since Danielle was already married with a kid of her own. Liam and Danielle talked about Loki, who was still a happy dog. Sophia had a girl, two years ago, we found out a week after the band broke up. Now she’s pregnant again, and Liam thinks it’s a boy – more like hopes.

Then there’s Harry, he has a fiancée, and a son. Too bad, he always said he wanted a daughter. I remember everything that he’s said. His daughter was like him, despite the dirty blonde hair that was like his fiancée’s. His fiancée was so nice, that it was too hard to hate her. Despite the fact, I still loved him, I couldn’t help but be happy—and sad on the inside—that he was with her. They were getting married, in three months, and I couldn’t help but hope they would suddenly separate or something.

“Hey mate, can’t wait.” Harry’s text worried me, because it made me happy and sad. He called me mate, not like he doesn’t do that already, but it’s the fact we dated that makes it harder. It’s the fact I was in love with him, that it hurts.

“Yeah, me neither.” I texted back, with a frown on my face – I think. I looked at Twitter – I was surprised at how many fans were still there, after two years.

“I’ll see you later, Ni. Can’t wait to see you again x.” Harry texted. I don’t know what it was, but Harry was the only person to call me Ni, and not make me cringe. I know he does it as a friendly thing, but that stupid ‘x.’ thing he does, makes my heart flutter. Now I sound girly, and it’s just my thoughts…

“Yeah lad, can’t wait.” I texted back. I still frowned, I was happy, but then I think about the memories that could have happened.
