Brooke's POV

The past few days only Luke has been talking to me. Mack was still mad at me because Ethan kissed me. Niall, well I tried to dodge him every chance I got. Right now we were all on the way to the airport to get to Chicago. It's always been Mack and I's dream to go to Chicago together. But since she's not talking to me right now so I don't really think we will be touring around Chicago together. After around a 20 minute ride to the  airport we were finally there. I got of the car and I was swarmed by both the bands fans. They kept shouting rude things at me. 

Like, "How could you cheat on Niall?"

"What does Niall see in her? She's hideous." 

They were right. What does he see in me. I let my thoughts get the best of me and I just stood there and let the crowd me. Then I felt someone grab my hand and pull me through crowd. I can't see who it is, but I assume that its Luke. I mean he's the only one that would help me. When we got in the airport I was able to see who helped me through the crowd. I was surprised to who was the one that helped me through. When I looked I saw Niall's face. 

"I thought I told you I didn't want to talk to you." I said calmly to Niall. 

"You looked like you needed help. That's why I helped you." 

"Niall, I don't need your help! I get what I did to you was bad, but what you did to me was way  worse." 

"I know and I'm sor-" 

"Save it." I cut him off and walked away.  I didn't know what to do. I really liked Niall and I still might like him. I went the the security section of the airport. I gave the security guard my carry on bag and I walked through the metal detector. It didn't go off so I took my bag and walked to the nearest Starbucks because  we still had an hour and a half until our flight. After I got my coffee I went and sat in the chairs by my gate. Everyone else soon came to sit down all of them making little small talk until our flight number was called. I got u and was the first one to get on the plane. We got first class so I was able to get to my seat pretty quickly. I got comfortable and then Mack came and sat down next to me. She looked at me and rolled her eyes and faced the other way.

"What is your problem?"I asked a little louder than normal.

"What is my problem? You kissed Ethan when you were with Niall!" Mack yelled and people started to stare.

"He kissed me! But why does it matter to you? I don't get why you get the right to be mad at me!"

The plane ride was finally over. We all got off the plane and made our way to the car. There weren't as many fans because of the time change so I got to get in the car a lot easier.  When I got in the car I sat all the way in the back and hoped that Luke would sit next to me because otherwise it would be awkward. Of course with my luck, Niall got in the car right after me. I tried to sit as lose to the window as possible.  

"Brooke can we please talk when we get back to the hotel?" Niall said. 

"Why would I want to talk to you?" I replied. 

"Just please?" 

"Fine." I'm mad at myself for saying yes but I really want to know what he has to say. We were in the car for another 20 minutes before we got to the hotel. Once we got there I was the last one out of the car. This time around I got my own hotel room. Probably because Mack asked if they could separate us. I got my room key and got in the elevator to get up to my room. When I got there Niall saw me walk in and quickly ran to get here so we could talk. He walked in and sat on my couch. 

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked.

"I wanted to say I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what? Sleeping with my friends?"

"Yeah." He said looking down at his hands. 

"Why'd you do it Niall?"

"I was upset the you kissed another boy. I needed someone and she was there. It just happened."

"Niall I liked you I really liked you."

"You don't like me anymore?"

"How could I fall for someone I don't trust? Someone who betrayed me."

"You betrayed me by kissing your ex!"

"He kissed me, but I didn't sleep with him. You slept with Hailey!" 

"Please Brooke. Please give me another chance."

"Niall, I don't know if I can trust you anymore. Because of you I lost all of my friends. Including my best friend. They all hate me but they don't even know what you did."

"You haven't told anyone yet?"

"I've only told Luke. He's the only person that will talk to me."

"Will you please go on a date with me Brooke? Let me make up for everything."

"I can't Niall. You need to go."  As I said that I showed him to the door. "Good bye Niall."

Once he left I decided that I needed to win Mack back as my best friend. I decided that since shes pregnant, her cravings must be over the top. So I called room service and ordered their biggest crab, three servings of Bob Evans mashed potatoes and three tubs of Double Fudge Brownie ice cream. While I was waiting for the food I decided to watch a couple episodes of Gossip Girl. It took the food about two hours to come. As soon as it arrived I took the cart of food over to Mack's room. I knocked on her door and waited a few minutes.

"What do you want?" She said as she opened the door.

"I want to give you a peace offering." I said as she let me walk past her into her room. She looked at everything and nodded in approval. "Can we just talk about everything please?"

"What is there to talk about. You hurt Niall and he was nothing but perfect to you." She said trying to stay calm. 

"You don't know half the story Mack! He was perfect to me in the beginning, but in the end he betrayed me. Yes, I get what I did was wrong but what he did was worse." I said losing my cool. 

"Then enlighten me Brooke. What did he do that was so bad?"

"He slept with Hailey! The night he found out I kissed Ethan, he slept with Hailey."

"Oh my god, are you serious! I'm sorry Brooke. I over reacted about the whole Ethan thing."

"It's okay Mack. All I want is for us to be best friends again."

"Me too." She said and we hugged it out. "I missed you Brooke!" 

"I missed you too Mack." 

"Okay now I'm going to eat all of this food you bought me."She said while laughing.  She wasn't lying she actually did eat all of the food. Every last bite of it. While she was eating we sat and watched Mack's favorite movie, The Last Song. We sat and cried together at every sad part. I really missed my best friend.
