The Story of Us

Run

As amazing as Holmes Chapel was, I couldn't wait to get home and sleep in my own comfy bed. I know Harry would be the happiest person in the world if we could just move there, but neither of us could. I've got school, and he's got the band. I could see it in his eyes that he was devestaded when we had to go home, but he couldn't stay here. Not with 10 million people waiting for him to do something.

 -Hey...- I lifted his head in the car back home. -Holmes Chapel isn't going anywhere. We'll go back. Don't worry.- I saw the corner of his lip rising to a shy smile. Instead of a respond, I got a kiss. 

  I opened our front door wide open after a 4 hour drive back to London. He put our bags next to the couch and grabbed my wrist, drawing me into his grasp.

-When I first saw you, I fell in love.- I blushed. -And you smiled because you knew.- His forehead gently clashed with mine. The moonlight breaking trough the curtains was lustering against his eyes, making me blind.

-William Shakespeare.- I gasped, while his lips were breaking away from mine. His ringtone ruined the moment. He sighed.

-Zayn...- He said while looking away from the screen. -Hello.- The other line was so loud, I could hear it from the hallway. 

-What is it?- he was taking his jacket off the hanger while I was climbing down the stairs.

-I have to go!- His voice was full of panic.

-What's wrong?-

-It's Liam... I didn't really understand that much, because Zayn was screaming into the phone, but... I think Liam and Danielle broke up.- Those words crushed me. I remembered the VMAs, and how she hugged him when the boys won. How I hugged Harry... Liam and Danielle. The perfect couple. The two people no one thought had an end. 

''Payzer was like the Titanic;

No one doubted it.

We all thought it was too incredible 

to fail.

But, out of nowhere,

It sank. 

It was the ship of dreams.

Now it's somewhere at the bottom

of the ocean.

Just like my belief in love.''

 He rushed out the door without another word. I sat on the couch in desperation and reflexly grabbed the phone.

-Eleanor...- I whispered with tears in my eyes.

-Sara! Did you hear-

-I heard...- both of our voices were quiet. -Should we go there?-

-I don't know, maybe. But, if you were in her shoes, would you want your two happily in a relationship with your ex boyfriend's best friends friends near you?- She had a point. If we go there, it would look like we're relishing. I love Danielle, and I love Liam, and I just don't want to see them sad. 

I called her a million times, but all I got was voicemail. Harry spent that night at Liam's, just like all of the boys have. Perrie and I went to Eleanor's, in a failed attempt to clear out the situation.

-I really don't know what should we do... If we don't go there, it would look like we don't care, but if we do...- 

-I know, Perrie.- we were lying on her bed looking at the ceiling. It felt... wrong without her. 

-Louis?!- Eleanor screamed at her phone. He was on speakerphone, so we could all hear him.

-How is he?- I said with my eyes locked on the phone.

-He's a little bit better. He's actually moved from crawling on the floor to crying on the sofa.-

-Louis!- now Perrie was the one who screamed.

-Sorry. He's not doing good. I'm worried.- when Harry and I were seperated, this is how I imagined what he was going trough. Exept now, I was on the other side. I knew exactly how Danielle was feeling. Left out, scared, sad, heartbroken... So many emotions I couldn't name them all.

-What should we do about... Danielle?- El continued quietly, like she didn't want Liam to hear her.

-I don't know.- I heard Zayn's voice from the other line. -I have no idea how she feels... None of us do.- In that moment, in the exact same second, El and Perrie turned around to me. It looked like a scene from one of those zombie horror movies when the main charcter finds out her friends have been zombiefied. And I was a million per cent sure Zayn and Louis did the same thing.

-Sara...- Lou's voice woke me up from my day dream. -What would you want us to do... You know, since you... ehm...-

-Have been there? Felt the same way? Heartbroken? Alone?- I didn't even realise I was screaming. -Torn?-

-Yes...- The four of them said together,  with Perrie and Eleanor looking at me like I just commited a murder.

-Sorry, I just know how she feels. We're her friends, we're supposed to be there for her. But we're also Liam's friends, and we have to be there for him. But, right now, I think she needs some time alone to clear her head out. And I think Liam does too.- Perrie sighed.

-What is it?- I asked.

-It's just that, when I first started dating Zayn, I didn't think we'd last long. But, the more we did, the more I looked up to the two of them. They seemed to have it all, and now it's gone... Forever.- Payzer... That word was echoing around my head, tied in a mist, and lost forever. 

  Hours, days, nights, weeks... They passed in a flash, but with a positive affect on the both of them. As unbelievable as it was, it seemed that they have moved on. The tabloids were full of rumors and lies, but they ended it as friends. And so did we. Eleanor, Perrie, Danielle and me still spent time together. Sure, it wasn't like before, but she was still my friend. They all were.
