Unbroken (One Direction/Demi Lovato Fan Fiction)

Chapter 6

There was an extremely uncomfortable silence in the room right now. I'm scared to look around and see everyone else's reactions. I finally took a glance around and started with Harry. He was looking at his hands, playing with a ring. I next looked at Louis who seemed to be having a silent conversation with Elena. Then I looked at Liam who was looking at Niall with a pleading look as if to say, "just calm down". Finally I looked up at Zayn who was looking right at me, not knowing what to do.

Finally, Liam broke the silence.

"Niall, calm down now." He said calmly.

"How can I calm down Liam? How am I supposed to be calm when I walk in on my two best friends snogging!" He screamed at Liam. Poor Li, he was only trying to make the situation better. But what bothered me is the fact that Niall even dared to still call me his best friend.

"Excuse me, but what do you mean "best friend". I asked him rather rudely.

"What's the matter Demi? We are best friends!" Niall cried looking shocked and hurt at my reaction.

"You really think I still consider you my best friend after what you did to me? Niall, you stopped talking to me! I haven't spoken to you, or gotten a message from you or have seen you for two whole years! Our friendship was done the moment I realized that you'd probably never speak to me again. "I barely said, fighting my tears that threatened to fall down my cheeks.

Niall looked taken back. The look on his face broke my heart but I knew I was saying these things for all of the right reasons. I was finally saying those words out loud to the person that needed to hear them the most.

"You don't think I wanted to Demetria!!"

I cut him off before he could finish what ever other rubbish he was going to try and make me believe.

"Don't you dare call me Demetria! My name is Demi!" I yelled. The way he called me Demetria really broke me. He's the only person who's ever said that name out loud, and I haven't heard him say it in forever.

"No, you're wrong! Your full name is Demetria and I will call you it if I want too!" he yelled back. I hate doing this. It tears me apart.

"So now we're just going to argue over my name? This is ridiculous. All I want to know is why you never kept in touch with me Niall? You left me alone to face some of my darkest days all alone. I had no one. You were the only person in my life that I could talk to or ever trust. My life has been shit ever since you left Mullingar and I've finally turned my life around. I don't need to be surrounded by my past." I spoke very quietly. I was done with screaming. It wasn't doing anyone any good. I felt the hot tears slide down my face and a few dripped onto my hand. I wiped my face not even caring if I ruined my makeup, because that didn't matter right now.

"What are you talking about?" Niall looked confused.

"Niall, don't push it. She's been through enough; she doesn't need to explain herself. You do." Zayn spoke up. I felt Zayn's shoulder wrap around my body comfortingly.
