Broken (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

80

I had gone to all of Sarah's favorite stores and called her several times.

I was getting worried.

I saw two people with big cameras leave Starbucks.
Paparazzi.

I was jogging down the street, I stopped at Starbucks.
I swung the door open and looked around the empty space.

I spotted a head of dark brown locks.

Sarah.

I walked over to her, curled up in a ball.

"Hey." I quietly spoke.

She looked up to face me.

Her mascara was running down her cheeks.
She had red, puffy eyes filled with tears.
All I could see was sadness, despair, pain and regret.

"Did Niall send you?" she mumbled.

"Yeah." I took the seat next to her.

"You wanna tell me what the fight was about?" I asked as she uncurled.

"I saw a picture of him kissing another girl last night." Her voice shook.

"I'm sorry." I placed my hand on hers.

"He was drunk though..."

"I'm not taking sides but if he was drunk don't you think it was the alcohol influencing his actions?"

Sarah gave me a small nod.

"Don't let this come between you and Niall."

"That's not all that happened..." Sarah's voice was barley audible.

"What else happened?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I... ummm... I told him I was in love with him."

"What's so bad about that?"

"He... He didn't say it back." I could see Sarah trying to hold back the tears.
"He doesn't love me." A tear escaped down her cheek followed by sobs.

Sarah leaned into my shoulder.

"This isn't right." I almost whispered, more to myself.

"W-what do you m-mean?" Sarah took her was from my shoulder, still crying.

"Niall's crazy about you! How could he not love you?"

Sarah just shrugged her shoulders.

This doesn't make sense.

Niall and Sarah are soul mates.
A match made in Heaven.

Why wouldn't he say it back?
He has to be in love with Sarah!
I see the way he looks at her! He's "in love, I know he is!

"I-it really hurt." Sarah brought me out of my thoughts.
I just looked at her with a questioning look.

"I t-though N-Niall was the o-o-one. But h-he d-doesn't even l-l-love m-me." Sarah's tears fell harder with each word. "I w-want t-to g-g-go ho-home."

My eyes widened a little bit.

"Sarah, don't leave... Don't go home. Niall needs you." I looked into her watery eyes.

She gave me no answer.

"You need to stay."

"It'd be s-so easy."

I see where shes coming from. We were going to be right by our houses.

"You say that now but it wouldn't be."

"Why not?"

"You're not just leaving the tour. You're not just leaving behind the bus, the shows, the drives and everything else... you're leaving behind Niall."

***SARAHS POV***

She's right.
As much as leaving Niall would hurt, it also hurts just thinking about him.
I know I still love him, but I know he doesn't love me back and it hurts to realize that.

"Please just go to the concert." Bo begged, "and if you still want to leave... I won't stop you."

"Fine."

Bo gave me a halfhearted smile.

I switched on my phone, just to send Niall one text.
My phone blew up!

Niall: I know your mad, and I'm sorry! I'm scared shitless right now! I don't know what you're thinking about but I feel like you're going to leave me. I don't know if that's even a thought to you but if it is please don't! please just at least come to the concert tonight! Please don't leave, I can't loose you! I'm worried to death, please just call me or something. Please please please!

I sent Niall one text.

'I don't really know what to think right now. I believe you about the kiss but right now all I can think about is what we said. I'm a complete mess of emotions. I'm sad, upset, lost, hurt, but mostly confused. I'm having thoughts of leaving tonight. I'll come to the concert... I'll decide if I'm going home after... I'm sorry that this has to happen.'

I sent the text then turned my phone off again.
Niall would know I meant me telling him I love him and not hearing it back.

I was set on leaving but and the same time couldn't handle the pain of leaving Niall behind.
But the pain of being with someone who doesn't love me was so much worse.
