*****Brooklyn's POV*****

I wake up at 8am, my brown hair matted all over the place and covering my light blue eyes. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Brooklyn Riley Matthews, born on October 13th 1993, born and raised in Mullingar, Ireland. But before you ask, I don't know Niall Horan, but apparently my dad is friends with his dad. I climb out of bed and take a quick shower.
I walk downstairs to hear chatter from the living room and head in there. "Brooke. Good, you're awake." My Mom says as I sit beside her. I sigh and grab my book. Someone clears their throat and I look up to see a family sitting around. "Brooklyn, this is the Horan family. Bobby, Maura, Greg, Denise, Theo and Niall. Our families will be joining soon." Dad says. I stifle a giggle. "You mean the dog will be marrying?" I laugh, saying my slightly older brother, Blake, was a dog. Mom shakes her head and my eyes widen in horror. "I refuse to marry one of them!" I say, standing up. I look at the Horan's and see Niall staring at me sadly. "It's too late. The contract has been signed and the wedding planned for next month." Dad snaps. Tears fill my eyes and I take off upstairs.

I hear a knock on my door and open it to reveal Niall. He pulls me into a hug while I cry. "Brooke. Don't worry about a thing. I'll get you out of this situation." He says, trying to sooth me. I shake my head. "It's no use, Niall. My dad will stick to this and we'll be married." I cry. He sits us on the bed and stares down at me. "We could work together and try to pull our relationship off." He smiles, wiping my tears away. I smile and nod. "We can try." I agree. He leans in slowly and places his lips on mine. I kiss back and wrap my arms loosely around his neck while his go to my waist. Fireworks start going off inside of me and the butterflies swarm around. We break apart for air and I look away, blushing. "We better tell our friends about us getting married." Niall whispers. I nod and we head downstairs. As I sit down, loud knocks sound at the door. I run and swing it open to reveal three men standing there. "Mom?!" I call out. Feet come running and Mom and Niall come over. "Lads?! I told you to stay in the car!" Niall complains. "But it was so boring out there! Plus we want to meet the fiancé you texted us about." The man with brown hair and blue eyes whines back. "I'm guessing this is her?" The man with long brown hair and green eyes smiles at me, winking quickly at me. I'm pulled away from the door, towards Niall. "AUNTY CATHERINE! I'VE MISSED YOU! OH! AND LITTLE BROOKIE! IT'S BEEN FOREVER!" The blue eyed man screams. "Louis? Will you calm down, please? We don't need a repeat of your last visit." Mom says. Louis hugs me tightly while I stand beside Niall. "Let me go! I have to visit my friends!" I squeal. I'm released and I take off to get ready.

"BYE PEOPLE!" I yell, taking off on my dirt bike. I speed down the streets as fast as I can to the dirt track.

I pull up and pull my helmet off, causing my hair to fall over my shoulders. The girls run over and we have a group hug. "Ready for the competition?" Annie laughs. I pull my backpack off and pull out my gear. "I was born ready!" I smirk. We giggle and head to the changing rooms.

I stand in my dark blue gear and matching helmet in my hands. The girls wheel my now fuelled up bike over as the other competitors walk over. I look over to the crowd and see the boys sitting with my parents looking for me in the crowd of racers. I pull my helmet on and pull the eye shield down. I grab my bike and thank the girls. They smile and run to the crowd.

I walk towards my parents and the boys. I flop onto the bench beside Niall and keep my helmet on. He stares at me in confusion because he can't see my eyes through the eye shield, it's shaded. "What are you looking at?!" I snap in a deep voice. He looks away and I wrap my arm around his shoulders. He yelps and falls to the ground. I giggle uncontrollably and lift the shield. He stares at me in shock and the boys stare at me. I remove my helmet and their eyes widen. "Hi!" I giggle. Niall climbs up and wraps his arm around my shoulders. "Don't scare me like that again." He complains. I nod and he places a quick kiss on my lips.
