I'm Arranged To Marry Him?!

Chapter 10

*****Niall's POV*****

I wake up to my alarm going off at 8am. I roll onto my back and turn it off. I hear chatter from downstairs and climb out of bed. I quickly change into some day clothes and run downstairs. I walk into the kitchen to find Brooke on the phone while the guys eat some pancakes. Louis looks over to me with a smile. "She got a call for the job she applied for last year." He explains quietly. I nod and serve myself some breakfast. "Okay. Thanks. I'll see you after the winter break." Brooke says and hangs up the phone. "Morning Nialler. Have you signed the kids up for daycare like I asked?" She smiles, messing up my hair. "Yea. They start in the new year before we go on our tour." I say. She nods and sits down. "Are you going to tell me what school you went to while I was busy around the world now?" Louis whines. I roll my eyes and turn to my wife with pleading eyes. She shakes her head and sighs. "Men are so needy these days. But fine. After high school, I went to teacher's college for English and Drama. I applied last year and heard back today." She smiles widely at us. My eyes widen in shock. "That's amazing! I'm so happy for you!" Louis screams happily, pulling her in for a hug. The other guys hug her too. "Niall? Are you going to say anything?" Brooke asks. I shake my head and look into her eyes. "I don't want you to do it." I state. Everyone freezes in horror as Brooke's face turns cold. "What do you mean by that?!" She snaps at me. "I said I don't want you to do it. I'm already bringing money home and I'll continue doing this even when I'm on tour. You don't need to earn any money because I'll pay for everything." I state. "MAYBE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO! I CAN DO THIS AND YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO LOCK ME AWAY IN THIS HOUSE! THE ONE THING YOU DON'T REALIZE IS THAT THIS IS MY DREAM JOB! YOU DON'T SEE ME TELLING YOU TO QUIT YOUR MUSIC CAREER!"  Brooke yells at me. Louis quickly pulls her out of the room and upstairs.

I watch in horror as Brooklyn storms out of the house with her bag. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! YOU HAVE KIDS TO CARE FOR!" I yell. "THEY'RE YOUR KIDS TOO! TRY BEING THERE FOR THEM LIKE I HAVE!" Brooke yells back, climbing into her car and taking off.

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

I storm into my parents house and head straight into my mother's arms. I burst into tears and burrow into her shoulder. "Sweetie. What happened?" Mom asks, rubbing my back. "What did Niall do now?" Maura asks, standing beside us. "I got a job as a teacher and Niall doesn't want me to do it. He wants me to be a stay at home Mom." I cry. Maura scowls and soon the front door slams shut.

I lay cuddled into my mother when the front door opens to reveal my brother. "Blake?" I whimper. He looks over to me in shock and rushes over. "Brooke? What did he do to you?" He asks quickly. Mom sighs. "Niall doesn't want her to become a teacher." Dad says from his seat across the room. I'm quickly lifted up and carried upstairs. Blake grabs my bag and drags me to the bathroom. He cleans my face and tells me to get into some sports gear.

We walk into the gym and I look around. "Why are we doing this?" I ask. He wraps an arm around me and pulls me over the elliptical. "You need to relieve your stress and the way I do that is by working out at the gym. Get on this and we'll see who can go the longest." Blake explain. I nod and put my headphones in and blare Blink 182. I climb onto the machine and grab onto the handles. I quickly start walking slowly before picking up my speed.

I laugh as Blake falls onto the ground after the weights. I pull a headphone out and help him up. "Are you okay?" I smile. He nods and I pass him a water bottle. "We should head back to the house now." He says, looking at the clock. I nod and we head outside. Cameras start flashing and I quickly cover my eyes from the light. Blake does the same and quickly pulls me over to my car. We climb in and I quickly drive off.

I walk into the house to see Mom watching TV. "Is Niall Horan's marriage going down the drain for a soccer player? Today, Brooklyn Horan was see at the gym with soccer star, Blake Matthews. The two seemed very close inside and quickly got in the car to go somewhere. We'll see you tomorrow with our interview with One Direction. Goodnight." A voice says through the screen. I place my hand on my head and head upstairs. I flop onto my old bed and fall asleep.

I wake up to my phone ringing and quickly pick it up.  "Louis?" I ask. "Hey Brookie! We're at an interview and the lady wants to ask a few questions. Is that alright?" Louis cheers. "Yea sure." I say. I hear fumbling on the other end and sigh. "Brooklyn Horan? This is Alice Collins." A woman says. "Hey Alice. Fire the questions at me." I say. "First question is, who is Blake Matthews to you?" Alice says. I burst out laughing at the question. "He's quite literally my brother. My twin brother to exact." I state. I head downstairs and see my family sitting watching the interview. "Why were you with him most of yesterday?" She asks. "Well, I was upset with Niall because he practically said he wanted me to be a stay at home Mom when I got accepted for a job. So I packed a few things and took off to my parents place. Blake showed up and he took me to the gym to relieve stress, which worked." I explain. Niall looks down at his lap in shame. "Niall? Why don't you want her to have a job?" Alice asks him. "I-I-I told her I was capable of bringing or sending the money she needed for the kids, herself and the house while I was working. She told me the job was were dream and that she wasn't stopping me from doing my dream job." He says. The interviewer gasps in horror. "That's the one the you don't say to a woman!" She says. He nods and keeps his head down. "Well that's all we have time for today. Bye Brooklyn, Bye Guys!" Alice says. "Bye!" I say and hang up. The guys wave and walk off quickly.

I sit leaning on Blake as we watch home movies, when the front door swings open to reveal Louis and Liam carrying Cody and the twins. "Niall locked himself in his room so we brought the kids here to see you." Liam says, passing Cody to me. I smile down at the boy with cubby cheeks in my arms. He bursts into giggles as I run my hand through his brown hair. "Momma!" He squeals with joy as I place a light kiss on his forehead.
