NIALL'S POV

I sat up on the edge of  my bed. I had had another dream about Beth. It was more like a nightmare. It was that she left, and she never came back. I rolled over, expecting to see Beth curled up beside me, my heart sunk, she wasn't.

I realized it wasn't a dream, and that she actually did leave. And that she was never coming back. Every morning I woke up, expecting to see her. Only for reality to hit me in the face and tell me she's gone.

I crawled out of bed and walked down the hallway into my kitchen. I pulled out some left over pasta from last night and ate it cold.

The memories with Beth came flooding back into my mind, I tried to push them away but I couldn't. Sitting across from Beth at Nandos, which we did every Saturday. Watching movies with her next to me. Laying in bed at night with her head rested on my chest.

Then more memories came, but not good. Flashbacks of the multiple times I had caught her with Harry. After the concert. In the back room at the club. At the recording studio. On the plane to Ireland. All those times I had caught her, but pretended not to see anything. Until the last one, at Harry's house. Even after everything I'd seen her do, I still loved her. Deep down there was somewhere in my heart where Beth Price still was, and would always be.

BETH'S POV

I pulled up my hood and slipped on my sunglasses. I didn't want the paparazzi to recognize me. I walked down the sidewalk and passed a news stand and glanced at a magazine, the headline was, 'One Direction's European Tour: Officially Cancelled!'. I picked it up and handed it to the cashier, handing her a ten.

She handed me my change and the magazine, "Have a nice day!"

I nodded in response and continued down the busy sidewalk. I reached my apartment building and went straight up to my room.

I opened the door and found Olivia on my couch, talking on the phone.

She turned to me. She smiled and waved, "Hey Angel, I gotta go, talk to you later, girl!"

She hung up the phone.

"Hey Livs." I said, walking into my room. I flicked on the light and cringed as I saw all my One Direction pictures. I threw myself on my bed and opened up the magazine.

Olivia walked in and stood in the doorway of my room, "Wanna go out tonight?" she asked, "It''s ten-o-clock, the clubs will be amazing right now!" I shook my head. "Come on, Beth. What's wrong with you lately?" I shrugged and continued to read my magazine.

'Fans are shocked about One Direction's recent announcement:

"Our 2013 European tour is cancelled due to unexpected events, and will be rescheduled as soon as possible.'" -Liam Payne'

I chuckled to myself, 'unexpected events' I thought.

"Beth, seriously. What the hell is wrong with you?" I heard Emmi's voice say

I looked up and Emmi was standing beside my bed. I guess I hadn't noticed she had come in.

"I just don't want to go anywhere, okay?" I said, annoyed.

"You never want to go anywhere anymore. And you've been acting like a total bitch." Emmi said, clearly irritated because Emmi never swore. And she just did, twice. " You've changed so much in the last month that you aren't even you anymore!" she said, yelling now.

"Yeah well, people change, Emmi." I said bluntly

I looked back down at my magazine. I kept it  cool on the outside. But inside, I was broken. Completely broken. Everything was wrong. I just needed time alone. But being a 'star' now, I never got that. Cameras and fans followed me everywhere I went. I was so angry at everyone. I just felt like I hated the world.
