Chapter 1- So much love.

Rachel's POV

"Rach, I love you. I love you so much. You have no idea. I would give my life for you a million times over. I will never stop loving you, not ever. I just really wanted you to know that." Danny spoke those words, those beautiful terrible words, and I knew what should happen next. I should look into his eyes and I'd tell him that I loved him too and we'd share a perfect kiss and we'd live happily ever after. Unfortunately, life isn't always like in the fairytales. All Danny's words did was cause me pain. As amazing as he is, I knew I could never return his love. I'd been with Danny for four months. At the start of our relationship I'd been happy. I'd loved everything about the cheeky Boltoner: his hair, his smile, his gorgeous accent, his six pack, his muscles and, most of all, the way he treated me, like I was the most special person in the world. But after a while I'd realised that I wasn't actually in love with Danny. There was no passion in our relationship- at least, not on my part anyway. I saw him as a best friend, a brother. However, one of Danny's best friends, someone he treated like a brother, held the key to my passion, to my love. Someone who I could never have but still dreamed about every night.

"Rachel?" I was startled out of my thoughts by a gentle voice. "I-oh-sorry," I stuttered, dazed. Danny was looking at me expectantly. Confusion and hurt were clear in his eyes. I couldn't do it; I could break the heart of this wonderful man. "Sorry, that was just a lot to take in. I can't believe someone as amazing as you could genuinely love me!" I plastered on a fake smile. "Wait," Danny asked, looking hopeful, "does that mean-"

"Yes Danny," I interrupted, "I love you too!"

Dougie's POV

I sat in my room and cried my heart out. How did I let myself get this way: so sad, so lonely, so depressed, all because of one person? One person that could never love me back, that I shouldn't even be allowed to love anyway? It wasn't right. I used to be such a party animal, never caring too much about anyone. Never getting in too deep. Everything I did was for the banter, the laugh. I had flings, one night stands, then never thought about them again. Not any more. I can't remember the last time I had a fling. Hell, I can't even remember the last time I laughed. All my thoughts are about the person that I love. And I really do love them, more than anything. I try not to let myself say the name, even in my head. I can't bring myself to face the terrible truth.

I don't want that dreaded three-letter label stuck onto me.

Harry's POV

Man, it's not fair. Why does he get such an amazing, perfect woman?

I want Giovanna. I need her. I love her. She's beautiful. All he cares about is freaking time machines and stuff. I could give her so much more. I would brighten every day for her. I would fetch her the sun if she asked for it. I would give her everything I own. I would buy her a present every single day.

Just as I was deep in these thoughts, a One Direction song came on the radio. More Than This. Tears stung my eyes as I realised how much the lyrics related to my situation.

I'm broken

Do you hear me

I'm blinded

Cause you are everything I see

I'm dancing, alone

I'm praying

That your heart will just turn around
And as I walk up to your door

My eye turns to face the floor

Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say
When he opens his arms

And holds you close tonight

It just won't feel right

Cause I can love you more than this, yeah

When he lays you down, I might just die inside

It just don't feel right

Cause I can love you more than this

Can love you more than this

I turned off the radio.

Tom's POV

"Giooooooo," I shouted down the stairs.

"Yes darling?" came the reply.

"D'ya fancy going to that new nightclub tonight, see what it's like? Strobelight, I think it's called. I'll ask all the other guys too."

"Sure," Giovanna answered excitedly, "can't wait!"

I set to work ringing everyone up.

"Hey Danny mate, you wanna go to that new club tonight? Bring Rach too, of course."

"Yeah, yeah sure. I'll be round at nine."

Harry seemed a bit off with me, I'm not sure why.

"Har, coming to Strobelight tonight? Be at mine for nine yeah?"

"No I've got better things to do than- actually wait, who's going?"

"Me, Danny, Rachel, Gio, everyone, y'know."

"I-ok. I'll be there."

Dougie took a bit of persuasion.

"D-dawg junior, how're you? Want to go partying tonight? Remember all those wild times we used to have!"

"Sorry, not in the mood."

"Aww, c'mon Doug, you're never in the mood anymore! You need to get out of the house for a change! Everyone wants you to be there!

"No I'm fine. Who's everyone?"

"Me, Gio, Danny, Rachel, Harry and you hopefully!"

"Well I don't really want to but... okay. Just this once."

I punched the air. Oh yes. Full house. Boy, we're gonna have some fun tonight.
