3...2...1...Happy New Year (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Unbearable Company

A/N: Hey guys this is Audrey! I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it :) It's my first time writing a Fan Fiction, let alone anything, unless you count school. Anywhoo, tell us what you think! Bye.

                                                                     Arabelle POV:

*Beep beep beep* my alarm screamed at me as it approached 6:30 a.m. Half asleep; I rolled over and shut off the alarm. Just a few more minutes won’t hurt. Just as soon as I turned over to go back to sleep, I heard my door open. Oh no. I pulled the covers over my head and started grunting.

“Oh don’t be such a sour puss!” Sapphire, my roommate and best friend, shouted.

“Don’t you have a face to paint or something?” I remarked.

 “Well good morning to you too, sunshine.” She said sarcastically.

“I’m sorry,” I said softly as I sat up in bed, “it’s just been a really long week. Jordan called me last night…”

“And?” she said arrogantly.

 “Well he, uh, well he wants to talk things over. He invited me to dinner on Saturday.” I said, unsure of her follow-up reaction.

Sapphire stared at me blatantly as I told her about the situation. “You’re not honestly thinking about going…I mean after all that he’s done to you! Belle, that jerk broke your heart.”

Tears began to stream down my face as I reflected on the past week’s events. I sighed, “I know, and I’m sorry. Now isn’t the time to pity myself. I mean, we have so much to do with the masquerade ball coming up and all.” I said playfully.

 “And don’t forget,” Sapphire started, “we need to go— SHOPPING!” I exclaimed with her. Wow we are such girls,I thought as we laughed in harmony.

“Well, I’ll leave you to getting ready. You’ve got one hour,” Sapphire said jokingly, “so you’d better make the best of it.”

“It takes me thirty minutes just to take a shower!” She glared at me with that don’t-give-me-that-bullshit look.

“Then I guess I’ll have to shorten the water supply,” she said as she left my room. It took me a second to process what she had meant.

“Wait. You were just kidding…right, S?”

No response.

 She had better be joking. I mean, she wouldn’t really shut the water off on me. Would she? I ran into the bathroom and began stripping before I could find out. When I got out of the shower, I checked the time. 7:05. Shit. After drying my hair, I tossed it up into a sloppy bun. 7:15. I ran into my bedroom and looked through my closet for the outfit I picked out.

“Oh my gosh it’s not here! I swore I had seen it in here last night. What am I going to – huh?”I glanced over to my bed and saw the outfit I was searching for. http://www.polyvore.com/day_at_ecc/set?id=50915854   Thank goodness. Sapphire was in the kitchen flipping through fashion magazines. Typical S. I noticed the cover of a magazine lying on the table. It was One Direction.

Ah, One Direction. The biggest boy band since The Beatles. It’s amazing how five boys who were complete strangers could come to be best friends in such a short amount of time, all because they shared the same dream. I’m not sure I’ll ever find someone who shares the same hopes and dreams as me. Besides, I would never be able to let anyone get that close to me or at least…never again. Not since…

Sapphire took notice of me standing there wordlessly. I had hoped she wouldn’t ask me what I was thinking. She looked up at me. “Wow. Not too bad for being ‘rushed’.”
