Two months. Two painful months survived without him. Hardly lasting.

It's been so hard, I've loved him more and more every day we've been apart.

I've managed, not acting too depressed, but every time I heard his name, my heart shattered again.

At school, we've passed glances, not really knowing how to act, but slowly pulling through each day, trying to seem normal.

"MABEL! I've been calling you for the last five minutes. GET HERE NOW" mum yelled up the stairs.

I slowly got up, every inch of my body trying to look happy.

"Sorry. I couldn't hear you." I sighed.

"Obviously. Anyway, we are going to see your grandparents, are you coming?"

"I don't think so, I'm going to bed." I said, sounding drained.

"Just because you and your silly little boyfriend have had a break up, doesn't mean you can take your pain out on us. Just get over it." she shouted walking out, slamming the front door behind her.

I knew she was right, but I still cried. I cried for hours, on and off. I didn't even know I had that much water in me.

Just as I was getting into bed, my phone started vibrating on my bedside table. The picture of me and Katrina in Disney land flashed up on the screen.

What could she possibly need now.

"Hello" I tried to put on my happiest voice.

"Hi, I was wondering if you wanted to come round tomorrow? I know it's Sunday, but..."

"I'd love to, what time should I be there?" I asked, finally I can get out of this room apart from going to school.

"Around eleven?"

"Sounds great, see you then"

"Okay, bye hun, see you tomorrow"

NIALL'S P.O.V

Two months. Two painful months survived without her. Hardly lasting.

It's been so hard, I've loved her more and more every day we've been apart.

Sunday, again. How the hell have I managed? I depended on her so much, yet two months have gone past without any contact.

Why did this have to happen to us? We were doing fine, we had everything every boyfriend and girlfriend needs until it all went in a matter of minutes.

I still send her messages, saying good morning and goodnight but nothing comes from them, she obviously doesn't feel the same way about me anymore.

My phone vibrated in my lap, pulling me out of my thoughts. Harry.

We never used to call each other, but now, we always talk on the phone.

Slowly, I picked the phone up, every inch of me trying to sound as happy as I could.
