Broken (a one direction fanfic)

Chapter 1

The loud music buzzed in my ears and I could feel my eye vision going blurry, I knew I shouldnt of had anything to drink. My best friend, Laura, who was supposed to be reminding me this, was with some hot blonde guy in the corner of the club.

I continued stumbling my way through the sea of people, I had been looking for Harry for ages, he told me he would meet me here, I thought to myself before nearly tripping over my feet, woah, I grabbed onto the closest thing to regain my balance.

"Well hey cutie." A beach dyed blonde slurred at me from beside. "You looking for a good time?" She continued to purr, her beer breath going on my face.

She was wearing what looked to be underwear it was that revealing.

"I'm er-not lesbian, no thank you." I stuttered, my eyes still looking behind and around people to find Harry.

"Well then get off me you misleading slut!" She screeched over dramatically and before I could even react she slapped me hard across the face. I looked down and saw my hand resting on her thigh..Shit.. I removed it like it was hot and I could already feel my right cheek burning up from the slap.

She shoved me away and I made my way through the crowd towards the exit door, the music was ringing through my ears making them hurt and I couldn't continue trying to find Harry, he hadn't even attempted to text me back where he was. I just wanted to leave.

My cheek was throbbing as I made my way across before I saw someone in the right corner, It was hard to see but I instantly could tell who it was by his chocolate brown wavy locks. It took me a moment to notice the brunette next to him, desperately running her hands up and down his body while he kissed up and down her neck. I saw her leg go up against his waist as she pushed him up against the wall.

My eyes went blurry again but this time not from how much alcohol content I had drunk, from the tears that were forming.

"Harry?" I said and even though my voice was barely audible he unlocked himself from the girls grasp and turned around, our eyes locked for a miller second and i saw an unreadable emotion flash upon his face. I could still see that he was shocked though before I dashed outside, my heels rubbing against my heels and my tears pouring down my face in the process, causing my mascara to smudge. Ugh. Why did I make such an effort in my appearance for an asshole!

I heard my name being called behind me but there was no way I could even bare to look at him right now.

I kept on running until I reached the apartment Laura and I shared.

I closed the door and slid down onto the carpet?, arms wrapped around my legs with my shoulders bobbing up and down from my sobs.

Graces POV

I sat on the couch watching the Simpsons with a bag of crisps on my lap when Laura walked through the front door, "Hey where have you been?" I asked her turning my attention away from the tv, my program was nearly finished anyway.

"With Carl" she giggled, placing her coat on the chair.

Carl was the blonde guy from the club ages ago, he had gotten her number and I guess the rest is history, he was actually really nice and had become one of my best friends, I could trust him with practically anything, Laura doesn't mind our close bond; she knows I would never make a move on him. Especially when my past with relationships don't always end in happy endings.

"He's gonna come round in an hour so I'm just going to have a shower." she said before skipping down the hall to the bathroom.

I smiled at her happy mood before facing the tv again, grimacing when I saw five faces, one being particularly familiar staring back at me. No I don't want to hear your song, I thought as What makes you beautiful started playing.

I grabbed the remote and switched the tv off before sighing and leaning back on the sofa.

Yes my ex best friend and crush for five years straight was now in a big worldwide boy band, and last year when I FINALLY told him how I felt and he had asked me to meet him at the club and then dinner after, my heart nearly jumped for joy, but I had left that night with it broken into a million shatters.

It was hard trying to forget about him when his face was plastered on the tv all the time.

We used to be best friends, Harry and I, we always sat together at school and everyone knew us as 'harryandgrace'. Even the teachers knew to put us together in seating plans or groups otherwise we would fight until we had it our way again.

Things changed though.

When I told him how I felt about him last year and he asked me to the club, I couldn't help but feel like my heart was breaking in two when I caught him making out with that girl infront of me.

After that things seemed to change between us, he went off to London to audition for that x factor thing and came back with 4 new best friends. I was just a friend from the past.

We stopped talking to each other like we used to and then when he started getting more and more famous he had to be taken out of school, then he got his number changed because people were leaking it to fans and I havnt seen him since, apart from on tv about how successful his life is while I'm just sitting here jobless and sad..

Good thing I've still got Laura though, we met at a summer camp that I went to because my grades started to slip when I first met harry, we would always talk so much and never get much work done. I was sitting alone at a table when she just walked straight up to me, sat herself down and introduced herself. We have clicked ever since then.

I'm so glad of her confident attitude because without it she would have never approached me with such a big smile and made me sure that we were going to be great friends.

We still stayed friends after summer camp and she helped me get over my sadness with Harry for abandoning me after that night.

There's one problem that keeps him from leaving my mind completely... Laura just so happens to be a huge Directioner..
