We Can't Forget About You

Rachel's P.O.V.

As soon as I got home I plopped down on the couch.

Really? We were going to a One Direction concert?

Of all things to have to go to, why a One Direction concert? Why them?

It had been so long since I had seen Niall.

My mom and his mom were best friends so of course we ended up being best friends too.

I went to his x-factor audition with him. That's where I met the girls. They were each there with one of the other boys.

I was delighted when Niall got through. I was so proud. But after that audition everything changed.

His life was suddenly a blur of pictures, autographs and screaming fans.

And there seemed to be no time for me anymore. He did try at first to keep me involved in his life, but it was just so difficult.

The way he had left things between us was terrible though. I still remembered the last time I had seen him so well.

"Do you have to go?" I whined, pushing out my bottom lip.

He chuckled slightly at me.

I was sitting crossed-legged on his bed, watching as he packed his bag.

He was leaving for his Up All Night tour the next morning and though I was messing around with him, I was truly heartbroken.

I couldn't imagine being without him for that long. Up until x-factor we had been practically joined at the hip.

Now I would hardly ever get to see him.

"Rach, we'll keep in contact. I promise" he told me, sitting on the bed in front of me.

"I'm gonna miss you so much Niall" I whispered, instinctively leaning closer to him.

"I'll miss you too" he whispered back.

He gulped before closing the distance between us.

His arms wrapped around my waist as his lips moved against mine.
Words couldn't describe how amazing it felt.

I had kissed Niall before. We had tried it out in the park before, just to see what it was like. And we had kissed a few times in games like truth or dare and spin the bottle.

But this was different. There was something else going on.

He pushed me down so I was lying flat on my back and he was hovering above me.

"Im gonna *kiss* make sure *kiss* that you don't forget me *kiss* " he whispered.

I nearly laughed at that. As if I could ever forget him. Little did I know it was him who'd forget me.


Ilost my virginity that night.

And I never saw him again. Okay, scratch that, I saw him everywhere. Television, magazines, posters. Heck, you could even get a Niall Horan quilt cover.

He did try a bit to keep in contact but because of the different time zones when he was in America, one of us was either busy or asleep.

It took me a while to move on from Niall. He was such a big part of my life for so long. And now he was just.. Gone. It was like he had left a hole in my heart.

It sounded cliche and sappy but it was true.

I had moved to England not long after and that's when I became best friends with the girls.

Since I had met them at the x-factor auditions, so much had changed. None of us had kept in contact with the boys, but at least we all had something in common. We mourned the lost of our best friends.

We had gotten through it together and it made us closer than ever.

I couldn't believe that after everything that had happened, we had to go to their concert now. Don't get me wrong, I loved Brooklyn's sisters but couldn't they have chosen a different concert to go to?

I don't know if I could stand seeing Niall again. Seeing him so happy, without a care in the world about me or about our long forgotten friendship.

It certainly wasn't going to be easy.

I found myself drawn to my piano.

This is how I dealt with my emotions. Playing.

I could play the piano for hours on end.

I let my fingers wander over the keys for a minute before I began to play one of my favourite songs.

The next two days passed surprisingly quickly. Before I knew it, it was Wednesday -the day the girls and I had arranged to go shopping on.

I got up early and decided to go for a run.

I set off with my iPod. My earphones blaring Ed Sheeran.

It had been so long since I had seen Niall in person. And as nervous as I was, I wanted an amazing outfit so that (if by any chance) he saw and recognised me, he could see what he was missing out on.

Once I had finished running I got a shower and got changed into this.

I had literally just finished getting changed when I heard a car beep outside.

Lily was picking us all up to go shopping together.
