You & I (A Niall Horan and Selena Gomez fanfiction love story)

Chapter 15: Fast forward

At some point you have to realise that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life...

3 years later

Year:2013

"Haaazelll" A high pitched voice screeched which was followed by the door being banged shut and me getting a horrible start which resulted in, chocking on my coffee and spitting some on the laptop which sat on my lap.

I looked up and saw a very excited neon pink head waltz into my room grinning happily and waving two strips of paper which looked like tickets.

"Wassup girlie? Why so happy?" I asked without looking up as I continued to clean the mess that I, technically Alex had made.

Alexandra 'Alex' Parker, a pink haired, tanned brown, dimpled chick  with a fully charged battery that never got exhausted and  was always bursting with life has been my roommate for roughly three years now or to make it simpler ever since I moved from Bradford to California.

Yes, I left my old peacefully boring life back home my darlings Stacy-Andrew, tonnes of memories happy and sad and just shifted to California with a distant cousin of mine after my so called brother was shoved into a correction home for some idiotic thing that he had done.

But I soon left the comforts that my rich and generous cousin had provided me... cuz well I didn't want to be obliged and take advantage.

So here I am a professional photographer with a degree, a luxurious flat, a cray bitch best friend cum roommate, and a well settled life from outside.

Perfect no?

No, the only snag in my oh-so-perfect life is my stupid heart.

Not that am a heart patient. On the contrary my heart is medically fine.

But my abstract heart which is full of shit aka feelings is shattered and bruised and wounded and god knows what not.

The reason behind it was none other than my so called ex boyfriend.

Oh and asshole best friend too.

And partly my fault too but that's like 5% or less.

"Guess what I got?" She cooed. And I screwed my face.

Must be something stupid. I thought

Aloud I said- "what?"

"Guess idiot" she said scowling slightly.

"Can't just say it" I blanched back irritated.

Yeah I'm still short tempered.

"Concert tickets" she squealed as she landed with a bounce on my bed once again spilling my coffee and I groaned in annoyance before giving her a resounding slap on her arm.

"Ouch" she winced and rubbed her arm tenderly.

"Get off my bed" I said pushing her off my bed

"Yeah whatever" she said annoyed as she slipped off my bed like she had suddenly lost control off her limbs and landed with a thud on my plush bedside carpet and gazed up at me with puppy eyes like I was a villainous person who had just refused the cute puppy.

I couldn't help but giggle at her expression and soon she joined too altering our moods.

"Ok what concert? " I asked after we had completed our laughing and I had decided to join her on the floor.

"Oooooonnnneeee-" she screamed dragging the words and pausing with a expectant and gleeful look on her face.

Oh no this doesn't sound right.

"Republic? " I questioned hoping that I was right and it wasn't what I'm afraid of.

"Correct" she said triumphantly but soon did a double take and went-

"Wait what?"

"One Republic?" I questioned meekly shrugging my shoulders.

"Are you stupid? " she asked me face distorted with disgust.

"Maybe" I murmured under my breath.

"Its One Direction Hazel" she squealed shaking me by my shoulder and I could almost hear my teeth rattle as she did so.

Crap.

"And I got front row tickets" she screamed once again, this time  giving me a huge hug making me lose my balance.

Crap on top of Crap.

"We're gonna be sooooo cloooseee to them" she said fangirling. And I mentally face palmed.

More and more Crap.

"Ok great" I said trying to cut her excitement a little. "So when's it?"

"This week Saturday" she said bouncing up and down.

"Saturday?" I asked in a fake tone of alarm. "What time?"

"Ummm we reach there at 4:30 concert starts at ummm" she started to scan through the piece of paper on her hand. "5:15"

"Oh my god Alex I'm so sorry I can't make it" I lied.

"What? Why?" She yelled visibly annoyed.

"I-um I gotta go see uh Clara" I said cooking up a story about visiting my rich cousin. "and I gotta assignment which James um wants me to.... uh...get over with"

"You know you're a pathetic liar? " Alex asked with a wicked smirk on her face and my eyes widened slightly.

How did she see through my convince able lie?

FML.

"I um what? I-I-" I stuttered lamely but she silenced me.

"Save it Mckenzie,  you comin' by hook or by crook" she smirked.

Man her smirk reminds me of Zayn's stupid smirk which always made me feel mad with irritation.

Past Hazel, get out of it.

"I- James- Clara" I blabbered only to be laughed at. "What?" I asked Alex.

"You're so bad at lying sweetheart, I pity you" she said laughing till she teared up while I sat their scowling at her for ruining my perfect lie.

"Listen Hazel you are coming even if that means I need to strap you to the bonnet of my dad's car" she said patting my cheek slightlyand I slapped her hand away. She chuckled and got up before cat walking towards the door.

"Choice is yours babbbyyy" she said faking sone accent I'm not aware of before cackling with laughter and banging shut my door which made the poster on my wall fall off revealing a small picture of our little group back in Bradford. It had me sitting on Nialls lap and Stacy sitting on Andrew's lap while Zayn stood in the middle pouting and in general acting like his old wierd self.

As I stood their staring at the picture and looking into the happy past o realised that I had tears streaming down my face which soon got converted to big sobs

I had completely forgotten about this picture.
