The Fault in our Food •Ed Sheeran•

2. Realizing How

•Harry Styles•

I never knew he was capable of doing something like that. He hit a girl. He hit Marie. His fucking girlfriend. He sat there on the floor, sobbing.

"I messed up man." He managed to choke out. Liam waved us over. He said Sophia texted him. Ed screwed up. Really bad.

"C'mon man, get up, we're leaving" I said and grabbed his arm, Louis had helped me picking him up.

We drove back to his flat. Got inside so lazily. His eyes were bloodshot. We just made him sit on the couch and tried to stop him from doing anything stupid.

"We need to talk" He was about to hear his speech of the lifetime.

"She's just tired, let her rest" Eleanor rested her hand on my shoulder. I still couldn't figure out how Ed could do that. A few tears just went out here and there, mainly because I blamed myslef for what happened.

"Stop blaming yourself, please"

"I can't" I sighed. I won't hear the end of this unless they get back together.

"Please, just calm down"

"I can't" I choked out a sob. "He likes me, My best friends boyfriend likes me! I ruined what they had! She'll hate me forever"

"She won't, okay darling?" Perrie shook me out of my misery

"Its not our fault he wasn't loyal" We sat on the sofas just trying to find strenght

"But its not the same."

"I'm not liking this drama" Sophia huffed. She stood up and started looking for a decent film we could watch.

"What are you doing?" Eleanor looked up from where she was sitting on.

"Creating diversion" Sophia said

"I still don't get Ed" Perrie said, the confusion is evident in her facial expression.

"Me neither" Eleanor said as she mimicked Perries expression

"He said he loves her, how could he do that?" I was still very confused

"M-maybe he got so mad when he heard the cheating on him thing, he made something up?" Sophia suggested.

That could be possible. They can still get back together. She won't hate me for taking her happiness.

"If thats true..." Eleanor started off

"They need to get back together" I got up and started thinking about how I can talk to Ed. He kissed me. That was the weirdest thing ever. That just makes things awkward for us.

"Okay, lets hear Ed's side of the story" Perrie suggested.

•Marie Anne Dawson•

I woke up. But I didn't open my eyes. Not yet. I didn't want to face reality. He likes someone else. I started crying again.

Yeah, thats right, just go and kill yourself already, he doesn't need you

"Fuck you" I mumbled as I got up. I went out of the room, carefully avoiding being seen by my friends. I didn't want them to worry. I went inside the bathroom. I closed and locked the door.

Get the razor, just do it

"No" I whispered. I opened the cabinet and took my toothbrush. I washed my face and started brushing my teeth. He can't ruin my life.

Yes he can. And he's already done it.

I realized that this voice was telling the truth. He was my everything. And he ruined all of that today.

I thought his love was true. I thought what we had was real. I, Marie Anne Dawson, was clearly wrong.

•Edward Christopher Sheeran•

"I--" I wasn't able to finish

"You never hit a woman, Ed, ever" Liam said with a disapproving look on his face.

"You're supposed to treat a lady like, how you respect your mother, Ed. What have you done?"

I stood up from the sofa, leaving them there. Watching every move I made like hawks, I grabbed a bottle of beer, opened it and chugged the content down my throat.

They quickly stood up and tried to take my only escape. I fucking love her and I messed it all up.

"We're not done yet, Ed"

"Whatever" I said as I raised the bottle and let it connect with my lips, the liquid just went directly down my throat.

"What about the Melanie thing?"

"I got so mad at her, I couldn't think of anything else" The bottle had no more liquid in it. I had to get another one.

"So you made it all up?!"

"I got so mad, I love her! When I heard she was cheating on me I freaked out, okayyy?" I was on my fifth bottle now

"Stop drinking and sober up before you fix this"

I heard the door close with a slam.

"Don't do anything stupid!"

I laughed at myself for being such an idiot and grabbed another bottle.
