[on going.] [slow updates.]

I always give people the option to leave.  It doesn't matter how long I have known you, I will constantly remind you that you can leave at anytime you want. I'm sure you're wondering why I give this option. It's simple really. I don't want people to think that I'll be hurt if they leave.  I know how much of a burden I can be, and don't blame anyone for wanting to leave.  And with this option, they don't have to stick around and pretend to like me. Because pretending to like me, hurts just as much as leaving.

Now, this is my story.  My best friend made a promise that he would never leave. But just like every other promise in the world, it was broken. It crushed me more than ever because he was all I had, well besides my mom. But even then, she left me too. Now in this crazy story I call my life, I am going to be internally fighting with myself. Regretting on decisions I made, or didn't. A good majority of this is my fault, I know it is. But there are some moments when I blame him. He is part of some stupid boy band that has currently taken over the world. And he somehow comes back into my life, after leaving.

Warning: This story will contain mature content and it may be uncomfortable for some readers. Warning will be given in the beginning of the chapter.

Soundtrack: "While The World Let Go" - A Rocket To The Moon; "Wipe Your Eyes" - Maroon 5; "Over Again" - One Direction

[ b o o k t w o ] "You promised I'd be your wife. You lied. You promised you would never let me go. You lied. You promised you would never be the one to make me cry. You lied. The worst part? I believed all your lies." It's been two and a half months since he broke all his promises by breaking her heart. Two and a half months of torturous nightmares. Two and a half months of pain and regret. Two and a half months without the one she loves. Niall had broken so many promises that he made to Aimee, just by breaking up with her. "I promise to get over you and never let myself fall for you again." That was the promise Aimee made to Niall and herself the night they broke up, and that's exactly what she intends to do. Everything still hurts though, and everytime she gets close to getting over him, she is reminded why she fell for him. They have now started the 'Take Me Home' tour and seeing Niall everyday is getting really difficult for her. She now has a 'friends with benefits' relationship with Harry, since he is the only one there for her. Niall claims that breaking up with her was the worst thing ever and that it had to be done, but she doesn't believe him. She doesn't trust him after all the promises he broke. She has a bad temper now, getting angry at the simplest things, but can't help it because everyday she is reminded of the pain he caused her, and now she wants him through that pain. Will she ever forgive him or end up crushing him? Will the promises always be 'Broken Promises'?

I scrounge around the magazine section and look past the little girl magazines that I used to read. Seventeen and teen vogue and twist all filled with that boy band. Ugh... I flip through them, laughing at what they until I get to the one direction section in Seventeen. Harry, Zayn, Louis, Liam, and Niall. Niall...I flip through it quickly and smirk at all this and put it on the shelf and start to walk away. My brain finally, some how clicks. "WOAH... WOAH WAIT WHAT?!?!" I scream and realize some little kids are in front of me. I give them a small smile at them as they scream and run the other way. I turn and run back to the magazines in a rush. I sit against the wall and pull that magazine back out again. Niall... Niall... He looks exactly like he does. How does he NOT tell me this stuff when I hang out with him? "How am I that stupid." I whisper to myself and groan and hit my head repeatedly against a wall. Maybe I can knock some sense into my own head if I do this. Nope. Still feel like an idiot. How can I be so stupid? How do I not notice this sort of thing? I mean they are all over! -------------------- Let me tell you a bit about myself. I hate one direction. I really do. But this obviously fake dyed blonde haired boy saves me from a directioner going a concert and then he asks me if I would want to go out with him?! What kind of question is that? Let me tell you about the adventure of finally picking up the broken parts of my heart and letting go of my past and moving on from the bad and onto the new. You never know who would be the one to actually save me.

NIALL: What in the world just happened? I choked at seeing this girl? And did a spit take when I actually got a good look at her? What the hell is wrong with me? LOUIS: I turn around because I'm sure that would have made Summer laugh. But she remains silent. Her hands are still doing something with my phone and the stereo. Her face is blank looking at Niall with her eyes slightly squinted. That's weird. Summer has laughed almost every time one of us does something funny. ZAYN: "But you're One Direction." I hear her mumble. She sighs. "And that matters because?" She doesn't need to be so insecure around us. She just needs to be herself. I know that's what Niall likes. She turns around, giving me a look and with her hands on her hips. "Do I need to explain it to you?" She says sassily. Then she giggles turning back around. HARRY: "Where do you want to go?" The way her American accent blends in with her awkwardness and sassiness is attractive. And it's also funny because Niall hasn't taken his eyes off her the whole time. Mission accepted. Niall and Summer. LIAM: I look at him with a smirk on my face. He furrows his eyebrows at me. "What?" "Summer will be here soon and with all of us busy with our interviews. I thought Niall could occupy her." Zayn squints his eyes at me and comes right up in my face. "What?" I back up laughing a bit. He backs off. "You're quite the mastermind." He gives me a nod of approval. SUMMER: Man, how are we living in a world where a normal teenage girl can't fangirl anytime and anywhere? This sucks. Please forgive the minor bad fanfic moments, such as where they meet, falling in love in a short period of time, and a couple of small character cliches.

!!!!!UNEDITED AND CRINGY AFF!!!!!! ______________ I take slow, unsure steps towards him and place my hands on his tense forearm and he softens at my touch. Only now could I hear the small sobs coming from him and it broke my heart even more listening to the pain and agony in his cries. His back was facing me but his body shook with his cries. "You h-hated me even if it was just for that split second and it hurts to know that I did that to myself because of myself. It h-hurt to hear you from the o-other side of that door, listening to you c-cry all because of me! I couldn't even comfort you because you hated me. I always fuck up and it still confuses me as to why you still choose to stay with me" he says and heaves in a breath "Because I love you Niall and I don't hate you. I don't think I ever will" ___________________________ Moving from another country was smooth for Sasha all because of that unmistakable person sitting beside her on the plane to her future Naturally, they both fell in love and things started getting complicated. Bullying, jealousy and trust issues try to break them apart but will they stay together. . Or will all those promises be broken? No copyright! This is an original idea of mine! But beware it might be a bit carroty since it's my first Enjoy!

"Why do you keep pretending you're afraid of me?" He hissed, obvious anger in his eyes. "Because Louis; if I'm not afraid of you I'll end up loving you!" I shouted. "And that means I'll get hurt...because that's just the way you are!" I said, hoping he would correct me. "You're right." He said simply after a long pause. "You're right." She was new; he was jaded. She was oblivious; he knew all too well. She was innocent; he was everything but. And anyone who looked at the two would know just how wrong they were together. Yet there was no denying the obvious fire that seemed to heat every time they were near each other. This isn't the typical "boy loves girl- they fall in love" etc. etc. This is about heart wrenching confessions, breath taking encounters, love shattering secrets,and two people who so desperately want to know just what love is.
