Paralyzed

FLASHBACK 3 YEARS AGO-

I hear another round of the loud knocks on my door as I rush through the kitchen to answer the door. I quickly unlock the door and open it to see Niall with his arms wide open. I jump into his arms and he holds me tightly to him. Niall was leaving for England tomorrow to audition for the X-Factor. Niall and I were best friends ever since he was 6 and I was 5. Now he was almost 17 and I was almost 16. I released myself from the hug and let Niall walk inside. My parents were both still at work, and wouldn’t be home for another hour. Niall and I walked up to my room and once we got inside, we both jumped onto the bed. I sat back up as did Niall and the serious talk started
up.

“I’m gonna miss you Niall.” I whisper.

“Yeah, me too. I don’t know what I’m gonna do without you.” He chuckles.

“Same here. Miranda and I are going to go crazy without you.” I smile.

Miranda was our other best friends. The four of us are really close, so Miranda was just as upset as I was when I found out Niall was leaving.

“I promise though, with all my heart that I will never let you go Betty. I’ll call, text, email, skype, anything I can, every day. I promise.” Niall assured me.

I could feel the tears building up in my eyes, and finally I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I burst into tears, basically having one of my meltdowns. Niall pulled me into a tight hug and held me closely to him.

“I’ll be back sooner than you think Betty. I’m not going to be gone forever.” Niall barely whispers.

“I know, but what am I going to do without you?” I cry back.

“You’ll figure it out, your Betty.” Niall smiles.

I couldn’t help but giggle a little at his comment. Niall let go from the hug and looked at me carefully.

“I love you Betty.” Niall grinned.

“I love you too Niall.” I reply.

He gives me a kiss on the cheek before standing up to leave.

“I’ll see you soon, I promise.” His last words.

PRESENT DAY-

"I’ll see you soon, I promise."

Those words echoed in my head over and over again. It’s been three years and I haven’t talked to him since. He never called, texted, emailed, or Skyped me ever since. He broke his promise, that he would never let me go. Every day I think about Niall, and there’s not a day that goes by in which I’m not heartbroken. I’ve waited for Niall for so long, and I’m growing old of it.

“I’m home! Betty come down here I have a surprise for you!” Miranda calls.

I groan to myself and climb out of bed. I slump down the stairs and make my way to the kitchen where Miranda was waiting for me.

“Whattt.” I moan.

“I have the biggest surprise in the world!” Miranda squeals.

I raised my eyebrow at her as she pulled an envelope out of her purse. She handed it to me and I took it, opening it up. Inside were two tickets to a One Direction concert. I put them back in the envelope and handed them back to Miranda.

“Return them.” I say rudely.

“What? Why? I thought you would love them! And you get to see Niall again!” Miranda said surprised.

“I’m not going to go to a concert to see Niall and some assholes sing. I’m not interested” I clear up.

“Betty, think about it, you get to see Niall again! You’ll finally be reunited!” Miranda cheers.

“You don’t understand Miranda! It’s been three fucking years since Niall left. Have I heard from him since, no I haven’t! I don’t want to see him again! I’m moving on from the past, and that includes forgetting about Niall. He forgot about me, so how hard can it be to forget about him? I don’t want to see that shit talker again, alright? Get it through your head.” I yell.

Miranda gave me a startled look. I had never really yelled at Miranda so I could see why she would be startled.

“Fine, but the ticket place had a policy of no returns, so will you please just come with? We’ll go to the concert, quick do the backstage V.I.P after then leave. I promise, and you can avoid the boys if you want.” Miranda offered.

I sighed, knowing she wouldn’t give up if the tickets weren’t returnable. I happened to notice the tickets were second row, and with the V.I.P backstage each ticket was £1500. I told her I would go, but we would leave right after the backstage meet to go back to the hotel. She smiled and squealed with delight. I rolled my eyes and walked back up the stairs, plopping down on my bed. This was going to be the worst day of my life.
