When Everything is Nothing. (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Broken

"What about Jared?

Or Izzy?

Or Ben Boogie?"

"Just you."

"Than no." I stated firmly. I crossed my arms and shifted in the firm wooden chair I was expected to sit in.

Hellen glared at me, taking the side of her glasses in between her thumb and index finger, sliding the frames further down her nose, then leaned across the desk.

"If you want to get adopted, you need to do as I say," she spat, her face a bit too close to mine for my liking.

I paused for a moment, contemplating my situation.

What other choice did I have?

I sighed in defeat before standing up from the chair and pivoting on my heels towards the door.

"You have half an hour to gather up your stuff before the bus comes," she called from behind me.

Without a single word reply I reached for the doorknob and stepped out, slamming it behind me.

"Brodie what's wrong?" I could hear Jared call from behind me as I continued to tread down the corridor.

I refused to even turn around and acknowledge him.

Maybe I should've that day; maybe I should've had told him that I was leaving to go to a new home, a new life, a new family, and maybe we might still have kept in touch. Maybe I should've told him how I truly loved him and that I was holding it in all these years.

But at the moment I did exactly what I did to every other person I ever cared about,

I shut him out, too.
