pinky promises | n.h. (discontinued)

3.0

*Present*

Right now, we are at one of the biggest parties of the school year. By 'we' I mean Niall, a few of my other friends, and me. We all seem to be having a good time, but niall seems distant. He hasn't been himself for the past couple days and doesn't seem to be enjoying him self tonight. I keep asking if anything is wrong but he keeps blowing it off as nothing and he is just tired. This ends here and I will find out now.

I tapped on his shoulder and he turned around, "hey Brooklyn, having fun?" still seems distant...

"yeah about that, actually can I talk to you for a minute?" "erm yeah sure. Is everything ok?" I pulled him to the side to talk.

"That's what I was going to ask you. Are you ok? I mean, you seem distant and have been the past few days and I know you keep telling me you're tired but im sick of that excuse. I know you, and you're hiding something from me!" at this point I was getting a little impatient and I just want answers.

"Umm.. c-can we not do this here? I just wanna enjoy tonight and I don't want to ruin your night. I know im not having the best time, but im not going to let how im feeling ruin your night." "no leprechaun, im not having the best time ever either. Im too busy worrying about you because your not being your self. Lets just go home and talk."

"ok. Fine." Niall grabbed me by the wrist and we walked home in silence. Not an awkward silence, but a very comfortable one.

We arrived home about 20 minutes later. We went to his house and walked up to his room. He flopped down on his be and let out a loud sigh as I sat down at the end of his bed. He sat up and motioned me to come closer to him. I scooted over and laid my head on his shoulder and we just sat there for a few minutes, not talking. Finally deciding to break the silence, "my dear leprechaun, whats going on? Please tell me.." giggling while asking he didn't answer for a few seconds.

"im scared. Nervous. I don't know what to do." I lifted my heads off his shoulder and looked at him.

"what are you talking about?"

"I think im going to try out for the x factor."

I jumped up off the bed and started prancing around the room like and idiot.

"Oh my god are you serious?! I have been trying to get you to do it for the past 2 years! DO IT LEPRACHAUN DO IT!!!"

He laughed at how excited I got but his face soon fell and looked at the ground.

"whats wrong? Come on you have to try out! Don't back down, you can do it!" he looked at me still with a slight frown on his face, "I have to leave tomorrow morning."

My face soon fell to and I got back up on the bed and we didn't talk, just sat there.

After about five minutes of not talking, I spoke up.

"go for it."

He looked up at me with confusion on his face, "what?"

"I said do it. Go for it. You will make it. I'll be here to cheer you on and support you. Go."

"but that means I have to leave you. And what am I going to do without my best friend?" I didn't speak but just stared at him for a little while. Then he spoke again,

"Come with me."

I didn't say anything but instead I jumped up and gave him a tight hug. He leaned down and planted a sweet kiss on my forehead. Just a friendly kiss on the forehead. I mean we're best friends. He does it all the time, it doesn't mean anything. We're just that close.

"help me pack! Come on! We don't have much time!" I grabbed him by the wrist and started pulling him down the stairs over to my house.

We started pilling random clothes and other stuff in my suitcase not caring what stuff went in. I ran down the steps to meet my mom in the kitchen

"bye mom see you in a few days. Maybe. Ok gotta go, love you!"

"and where do you think your going young lady?" she raised her voice at me, uh oh not good.

Niall and I simultaneously turned around slowly.

"im going to London with leprechaun over here. He is auditioning for the x factor. But don't worry mom, ill be back in a few days ok see ya!"

Not waiting for an answer Niall grabbed my suitcase for me and we booked it out of the house and running over to his.

We got to his house and went up to his room yet again.

"eww I need a shower and im wearing your clothes. Ok bye!" I went to nialls draw and pulled out one of his t shirts and a pair of basket ball shorts and skipped into his bathroom. I came out about 20 minutes later throwing my hair into a messy bun not caring what a look like. I skipped over to his bed and belly flopped on top of him resulting in his iphone ninja attacking his face.

"Jesus, watch it woman! At least warn a guy before you body slam him." Holding his forehead groaning in pain from his phone hitting it.

He leaned over and switched off his bed side lamp.

"Night night leprechaun."

"Sweet dreams lyndy." We both giggle at his new nick name he had recently given me, and with that, we both fell asleep instantly.

~ Niall's POV ~

I turned off the bed side lamp and Brooklyn fell asleep instantly. I just sat there thinking. What if they don't like me? What if my audition sucks? What if I don't make it through? What if, what if, what if? I looked over and it was now 2:00 am. I have been pointlessly wondering about tomorrow for 4 hours. I need sleep. I was about to fall asleep when looked down at Brooklyn. She is honestly so beautiful. Wait, what am I saying? I cant think like that! She's is by best friend! But who am I kidding; every guy is all over her. She really is that gorgeous. Her long, dark brown hair. Her gorgeous blue eyes that i get myself lost in whenever i talk to her, her slim figure, flat stomach. Stop thinking like that Niall! I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt her small, fragile body shivering next to me. I pulled her closer to me as she snuggled closer and laid her head on my chest and I wrapped my arm around her waist. I place a gentle kiss on here forehead, "goodnight beautiful." I fell asleep almost instantly.
