My Lucky Charm (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-Three

**OK! Magazine**

Nucie? Over?

Yes, you heard us Directioners. Reports are One Direction's Niall Horan has split from his girlfriend of nine months, Lucie Taylor, after he found her kissing a stranger in a club on the night of his recent birthday (Low, right)

Witnesses state that they saw Horan approach Taylor, with a look they described as 'sheer heart-brokenness'. They say the couple had a short, but intense discussion, which led to Taylor bursting into tears and running out the clubs, and Niall begin binge drinking.

There have been no sightings of the couple since then, and both have been exceptionally quiet on Twitter.

So what do you think Directioners? Is this much-loved couple really gone for good?

LOUIS' POV:

"Niall?" I spoke through the door. "I'm going to the shops."

No answer.

"You wanna come?"

Silence.

I sighed.

"C'mon buddy. It's been two weeks. You can't stay in there forever." I said.

"Fuck off Louis."

I shook my head, sighing sadly. This whole situation was so upsetting.

"Okay." I said, before I walked away from his door, going outside.

Recently, the lads and I have been re-enacting Frozen. Niall, is Elsa. He just stays in his room, all the time, with the door locked, refusing to see anyone. The rest of us are Anna. Every morning, we go and knock on his door, trying to tempt him out. Next time it's my turn I might just sing the fucking song to him.

The local Co-Op was pretty empty when I got in there, and so there was only one person in front of me in the queue. A young, dark haired woman with a little girl standing next to her. I looked away from the girl and read the headlines on the newspaper, until the child caught my attention.

"Lucie?" She said. I froze, and sure enough turned to see Lucie was standing in front of me. My jaw fell open and I gasped.

"Lucie!" I echoed the younger girl. Lucie's eyes widened as she turned around to look at me.

"Hi, Louis." She said, and I felt my heart constrict at the sight of my former good friend.

She looked a mess, and skinnier than before. Unhealthily so. Her hair was scraped back from her face, and she had absolutely no makeup on. Her clothes hung unnatractively off her usually amazing body, and as she stood, she slumped over. Clearly, she was just as affected by this break-up as Niall was.

Now that I looked, I recongnised the younger girl as Lucie's younger sister, Emma. I'd met her at her Dad's funeral, and she really was a lovely little girl.

The cashier called Lucie's forwards, and she shot me an awkward smile before she moved forwards.

*************

As soon as I got back from the shop, I stood outside Niall's bedroom door and knocked on it rapidly.

"Niall. I know you won't answer me, but I saw Lucie at the shop. Dude, she's just as messed up about this as you are. She looked awful. I know what she did was wrong, but trust me buddy she's regretting it. You know, maybe she was being honest, and that guy really did kiss her first. We were all so wasted who can be sure of what we saw? I know I'm no relationship expert, but I really think you have to let some things go, in order to be happy together. Hell, if half the couples I know broke up every time one of them made a mistake, they honestly wouldn't last more than a week! I'm not forcing you to do anything buddy, none of us are, but please think about what you really want. You can't live like this forever dude, you just can't."

I finished my speech, and there was no answer. However just before I turned to walk away, the door was thrown open and Niall stood there.

"When's our next concert?" He asked. I grinned.

"Tomorrow." I said. Niall nodded.

"I'll be there."
