"Shit." I said when I heard the door slam.
"Did he just leave?" Harry asked.
"Yeah I think so."
It was quiet for a few minutes, in hopes that Niall would come back and apologize and say that he will be there for Ellie but there was nothing. Just silence except from her heavy sobs.
"Maybe you should go." I said to Harry.
He nods his head in agreement and gives me a kiss.
"I'll go find Niall and talk some sense into him." He said.
"You don't have to do that." I said.
"I'm his friend. I need to make him realize he needs to be there for her." He said with a stern look.
I smile a little and give him one more kiss before he leaves. I took a deep breath and head out into the living room to see Ellie sitting on the couch while hugging a pillow and crying into it. I went to sit down next to her and she completely avoided eye contact. She stared off into space while I searched for the right words to say.
"So what happened?" I decided to ask.
"He said-said that he was not ready. That he liked me and all but was not ready for a relationship, let alone being a father." She said. I saw her mascara running down her face and it broke my heart seeing her in so much pain.
"He might change his mind." I said.
"No. No he won't. He said he was sorry but he was not going to be here for me. He said he has his life ahead of him and he would not risk loosing his career over-over-over somestupidonenightstand." She said the last words in a rushed sentence while holding back the tears. I was shocked that he had said such cruel words to her. I put my arm around her and she rested her head against my shoulder. She quietly cried while I was silent, not knowing what to say.
"Well I guess we will raise him or her together. Unless you want to give him or her away. What are you going to do with it?" I asked nervously.
"Adoption. I can't be a mom! I am not cut out for that job! The child will end up hating me!" She said.
"The child will not hate you! You would be a great mom! But I understand if you don't want to keep it. It's you're decision."
She looked at me and I realized that I had never seen her so sad. Her eyes were sunken in from the pain and I could tell that this situation will alter her life forever.
"Adoption. It's the only choice I've got." She said and then got up and walked straight in her room and closed the door.
I looked around the flat and see how it's so clean. She loved cleaning when she was upset. I couldn't believe she was going to give the baby up for adoption. I had to agree with whatever she wanted but deep down I was hoping she would keep it because I knew she would regret it one day.
I thought of the cruel words Niall said to her and it actually made me so mad at him. I got off of the couch and grabbed my jacket. I left the apartment and walked in the direction of Niall's flat. It was a cold night and I wrapped my arms around my waist and thought of what I was about to do.
A few minutes later I showed up to Niall's flat. Harry opened the door and was in shock to see me.
"Brooke." He said with surprise.
"Where is he?" I demanded.
"Love maybe another time." Harry said while taking a step in front of me.
"Harry let me see him."
"Babe seriously another time."
I rolled my eyes and pushed past Harry. He sighed and followed me. I walked into the kitchen and saw Niall sitting down with his head in his hands.
