Josh's P.O.V
I sat on the cold stone wall of the bridge, my feet dangling over the edge. I heard the splashing of water below. The sky was opal, pinks and purples merging together in the early hours of dawn. I took another swig of whiskey from the glass bottle wrapped in a brown paper bag.
The world was spinning and my eyes were unfocused from all the alcohol I had consumed. I was alone. I needed to be, especially after that... show, last night. Pictures flooded my head, making me feel sick. Or maybe that was just the alcohol.
I reached into my hoodie pocket and pulled out a small black box. I opened it up revealing a small platinum ring with an opal diamond placed neatly on top. I was going to give this to her. The night she went, I was going to come home from work early, cook us a meal, decorate the house with flowers, roses, her favourite kind. Well I guess that plan's out of the window now seeing as how she's with him now. To think I ever called him my friend!
I was probably closest to Harry out of all the other lads. I could trust him with everything. He was there for me when I fucked things up a few months ago. How could I have been so stupid? Cheating on the most perfect girl in the world! I guess knowing that I had cheated makes the fact that she cheated a little easier to bear. None the less it still hurts like a bitch. Harry was there for me you know? He covered up the fact that I had cheated by saying that the girl was another one of his one night stands. I still can't remember her name, Rosie? Ruby? I don't know, I don't really care at the moment.
Why does love do this to people? Why does it make us go crazy? Do stupid things? I grunted and snapped the ring box shut, slamming it onto the stone beside me. I gulped down the rest of the bottle and threw it into the water as tears streamed from my eyes.
I heard car tyres screech behind me. I stood up and turned around. Zayn, Liam and Niall all jumped out of the car. "Josh, get the fuck down from there!" Niall screeched, edging nearer to me. "NO! DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE YOUR HEART RIPPED OUT BY THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS THEN WATCH HER FUCK YOUR SUPPOSED BEST FRIEND? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN COMES FROM KNOWING THAT YOU LOVE SOMEONE DEARLY AND THEY DON'T LOVE YOU BACK? WELL DO YOU? I DO, AND IT FUCKING HURTS, I COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT ANYMORE, I'M TIRED AND HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LIVE FOR!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, apologetic looks apearing on the boy's faces.
Tears flooded my cheeks, I bent over and picked up the ring box. "I was gonna give her this the night all this crap happened... too late now!" I scoffed and threw it into the water, a splash echoing a few seconds later. "Josh..." Liam started and stepped closer."Don't 'Josh' me" I yelled at him making him wince.
"Come on mate this is getting ridiculous! Just calm down and get the fuck off that bridge!" Zayn said sternly. "There's only one way I'm coming off that bridge and it's down there!" I staggered backwards as I pointed down to the water. I felt my sense of balance disapear as I slipped, grazing my shin on the pebledash stone on top of the bridge. The boys screamed and ran to look over the edge as I fell.
Arianna's P.O.V
"I think we're just going in circles now!" I sighed and stopped. My leg seemed to be getting better and I could walk without Harry now, although I was still limping. Things between me and Harry have been amazing, despite our creepy surroundings, the air was less tense. I still feel really bad about Josh though, while he's sat at home worrying about me, I'm trapped in a never ending hospital with one of his best friends who I just happen to be falling for.
We have agreed to not do anything about our feelings untill we can sort things out with Josh, and only if he was okay with it all then we would see where we could take our relationship but if Josh felt uncomfortable with us then we wouldn't go ahead, we would just end things and go to being single. I know I want Josh to be okay with us but deep down I know he won't, he'll find it awkward and will do everything he can to stop us being together.
