When They Fell

Chapter 1: Hey there Carmen

Turkey.

Turkey I thought to my self. Why in the hell is there fucking wild turkey in the middle of the street?

Whatever. I don't have time for this anyways I have to get there before dark. God, I hate driving at night. The bright lights hurt my eyes and its pretty hard to see wild turkey when you can't even see the trees.

"I want you nah nah drunk in love!!!!!! We be all night!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Who cares? I'm the only person in the car.

"Okay. Now is it 184 West Rowley? Or 184 East Rowley? Shit." I mumbled to myself while trying to reach for the directions in my purse.

"West. Okay." Why am I driving in the middle of nowhere at 7 pm on a Tuesday? Do you really want to know? Okay. Well see my best friend Carmen's boyfriend proposed right? Well he broke up with her a few days ago. He said he wasn't ready to commit. Well this was about 2 maybe 3 days ago.

So I'm driving up to freaking Maine to comfort her. Well I've been on the road for about 2 days and today I get a call from her saying THEY FREAKING MADE UP. Well at this time I was already in Rhode Island so I just decided to keep driving and I'm just gonna help her with some bridesmaid stuff cause this chicka is the maid of honor.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" she squealed. "I knew I recognized that baby blue Bronco" Carmen said with her hands on her hips. There's no hiding her rich country accent. We were both born and raised in Alabama with hopes of moving up north. She just got there before I did. I don't want to live in Maine anyways. New York is more my style.

"So. Why haven't I heard about Lucas recently? Or about any guy?"she asked quietly. Trying not to upset me if anything happened.

"We broke up." I replied trying not to sound upset. I really wasn't it just sometimes came out that way.

"Oh honey. Well come on in Todd wants to finally meet you!!" Carmen squealed while jumping up and down. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into her house.

"This is nice." No it wasn't. It's crowded and messy.

"No it's not. This isn't my house anyways." Oh my gosh. Is she breaking and entering? She has done it before. "This is Todd's late grandmother's. We are just living here until they finish the floors in the pretty house." She smiled at me and began folding clothes.

"Oh, I thought..." She cut me off.

"No I told you. I stopped that." Carmen threw the shirt to the ground and sighed. "Besides I have enough on my plate right now and that, that happened in high school."

"So, anything exciting happen recently?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Not anything to rough. Besides Todd and I are doing amazing!" She smiled convincingly but I just glared. "I mean other than that rough patch we are doing amazing."

"Well that's just one of the many, many bumps in the road that all couples have." Oh shit did I just say that? "Not that you and Todd will have a lot of bumps."

"Oh, well we will be together for ever honey." She smiled. God she was so optimistic. Too optimistic. She always hoped for the best. But I know that it won't work out. No relationships ever work out.

"Well I have a surprise!!" Carmen exclaimed in a sing song voice. "We are going to see One Direction tonight!!!"

"What?!?! You have to be kidding me!!" I can't believe it "Remember when they first became famous when we were little? I can't believe they're still performing!"

"Yep honey and guess what? Larry finally came out!!" Woah. I knew it was real but wow. It took such a long time. I can't believe it. Louis and Harry ARE together. I knew it I always knew it and thank god they're together. They were made for each other.

"Rebecca?" Carmen asked while I dazed off. "Rebecca, are you alright?"

"Yeah. You haven't called me Rebecca since we were twelve." I didn't go by Rebecca anymore. Everyone called me Bec. But whatever Bec, Rebecca, what's the difference?

"Sorry sugar, I had to get your attention. Yep Larry's real. They came out came out yesterday. It's all over the news." It took 13 years. Including 2010, the year of X-factor. I'm 21. It took 13 years.

Why the fuck does management work like that. They should've come out years ago. Fuck them!!

"Well when are we leaving for the concert?" I asked Carmen hoping it was soon.

"Right after you meet Todd sugar!" she replied very ecstatically. "Todd!?" She called after him.

Wait. Is that who I think it is? Houston Todd Russell. We went to school together. I've known him since second grade and we dated in third. Carmen didn't know this. Even though she was my neighbor, she was homeschooled so she barely knew anyone besides me.

"Rebecca Katherine McLendon? Is that really you?" Houston asked me in disbelief.

"Wait y'all two know each other?" She asked with a lump in her throat.

"Yeah, we went to school together." I replied with a smile hoping not to set her off.

"Yep" Todd said "We dated too!" Why. In. The. Hell. Would. He. Say. That. I shot him a death glare and he just flashed me a devilish smile.

Houston's POV

I can't believe THAT hot piece of ass is Rebecca. I mean she was always pretty but now she's fucking sexy. Wait. I'm getting married to her best friend. I cannot be thinking this. But damn.

Okay back to the story.

"It was third grade. We dated in third grade." I flashed her a quick grin to assure her that it was nothing too serious.

"Oh. Okay" Carmen smiled. Wow she was such a blonde. If I were in her situation I would have freaked.

"Well Houston er uh Todd, I'm stealing your lovely bride for the night." I exclaimed.

"Yep babe we're going to a One Direction concert. I'll see you when I get back. I love you!" Carmen screamed while running out the door and she dragged me along by my hand.

"Love you too?" He shouted back.

I assume we're taking my car because Carmen hopped in the passenger side of my bronco without even discussing it.

"I'll assume I'm driving then?" I asked more of a statement then a question.

"Yep, I love the way your car revs up right when we start it, you learned to drive when you were eleven so you're MUCH better than me, and you have a GPS that looks like you haven't used in a decade. Did you use it to get up here?" Carmen asked.

"Um no." I replied. "Now what's the address for the concert?" I asked hoping she would reply properly.

"Well does Maddison Square Garden answer that question?" Carmen asked sarcastically while putting on some lipstick. Maddison Square Garden?!? I get to see One Direction perform in Madison Square Garden?!? Oh I didn't even need an address for that I knew right where it was.

God I love New York. Once I save enough money I'm moving there. I went there once as a little girl and I swear to god it was the best place on earth.

I can't wait for One Direction. I wonder what it's going to be like now that Larry's out. Will they perform differently, pun not intended. Will they kiss during the show? I hope they do that would be so cute. Will they act the same or more nervous?

But it didn't really matter. They were made for each other. As long as they're happy that's all that matters.

Wow the only single guys are Niall and Liam. If I ever got the chance I'd set my sister up with Niall. They'd be cute together plus my sister is in love with him.

Then there's Liam. Oh god Liam. Just the thought of him made me get goosebumps. My heart starts to beat faster and faster. I would love to have Liam. All to myself no one else can touch him. He's all mine.

Oh God thinking about him made my hands shake and my lip quiver. He did things to me that no one else could. I needed him he made me feel so complete. So happy. And so turned on.
