This is my new story, a sequel to the x factor life. It's called "365 letters" and you have to read the first one to make any sense of this one. So hear it is, one year later.
One year later, Cher's POV
It was the Brit awards. I walked up the red carpet, waving to those screaming my name, posing for a few pictures. I followed Rebecca in to our seats. Her, Adriana and Louis were the only ones from X factor I kept in touch with. Not one letter from Liam. He promised me a letter every day we were apart. I never received one. "Come on, I want to catch up with Adriana," Rebecca said, dragging me in. "What? She's here?" I asked. "Yes. It's the Brit awards. One Direction is practically the pride of the U.K. for the love of god," she said impatiently. "So they're all going to be here?" I asked hesitantly. "Yeah, I thought that was pretty clear." "This is just great."
I walked in and sat down and to my luck, the seats next to us were reserved for One Direction. Louis walked in with a smile on his face and his arms out. He greeted me with a hug. "Hey Lou," I said pulling away. "What's up Cher bear?" he asked laughing. "This is it," I answered sitting back down. Next walked in Zayn, who went right for the hug with Rebecca even though they weren't together any more. "Vas happenin'?" he said chuckling. "Hi Zayn." Next came Niall with his hand locked with Adriana's. "Hey!" they said walking in. "Hi guys," I said waving. Last came Harry and Liam. I waved politely and ignored Liam's presence until the after party.
I walked into the after party with Rebecca and my friend Jessica. Eventually they abandon me and left me alone where Liam took the opportunity to approach. "Hey are you okay? You seem a little angry with me," he said turning me to face him. "Go away Liam," I hissed and turned away. "Woe, calm down. Cher, what did I do?" he asked clueless. "How about I write it to you in a letter," I said sarcastically and walked away. I could feel his eyes on me as I left. I picked up my phone and called my boyfriend Craig. "Are you okay love?" he asked as I got in the car. "I'm fine, just drive."
Liam's POV
I walked into my apartment, heading straight for the desk. I began to write another letter. It was a page long as all my others were. I pulled out the drawer and picked out my box that was filled with almost 390 letters. All addressed to Cher, but never given. I couldn't send them because they were all wrong. I don't know why or how to make them better but they weren't expectable. I realized while writing, what Cher meant. I promised her those letters, and never sent them. I never called or contacted her. Thought the more I thought about it, the more I realized that she hadn't kept her part of the deal. She never visited me once. Never did I get a call. It was a two way street that neither she nor I ever went down.
I flicked through the channels lying on the couch. The door opened and Zayn burst in. "What the hell did you do tonight?" he demanded taking the remote and turning the TV off. "What are you talking about?" I asked sitting up confused as hell. "Cher! She left with some guy after we saw her talking to you. Everybody saw it. They think you're a jerk," he shouted. "What? She left with another guy? I didn't do anything. I asked why she was mad at me and she got all angry and stormed off," I explained. "Yeah well Rebecca said it was her boyfriend Craig. Look, you best apologize because this is going to end badly. I can feel it."
There was only one way to make immense was to give her the letters. I wrote a note on the box and left them with the clerk at her apartment building. I couldn't see her that was too much pain right now. I wasn't sure what she was going to think but I felt exposed and vulnerable. All my deepest thoughts, feelings, and secrets were in those letters. She was the only I could trust with them. Walking out of that building was a horrible feeling. I sat in the car and before I drove away, I could see her face in the window.
