Chapter 16: You're Going Places

Brooklyn's pov.

"Let's go inside." Sarah sniffed, but nodded and followed me in. She agreed to go to the drug store with me to get a test. So that's exactly what we were going to do. Once I got dressed. I ran into my room and locked the door. I picked out some jeans and a sweatshirt and opened the door back up, Niall stood in front of me. I gasped and jumped back.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" He asked. I glared at him.

"I'm not. But I do need to be somewhere, I'm hung over, I'm sick to my stomach, and I'd rather not stand around right now." He stared at me for a second. I didn't break the eye contact, making sure he knew I wanted him to move.

"You didn't mean what you said last night did you?" I frowned.

"What are you talking about?" He sighed.

"You told me you only called me that night, because you wanted to get back at Harry." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, then crossed my arms.

"It wasn't not the truth." His eyes fell to the ground. I let out a breath.

"I liked you Niall. You made me happy, you did. But it's always been Harry. I was drunk that night. And I'd caught Harry sleeping with Kendall, and Justin almost..." I trailed off. He furrowed his brows. "Never mind. But my point is, it's true. But I didn't mean to hurt you. Neither of us meant to hurt each other..." I said softly. "It just happened." He looked back up at me.

"I shouldn't have taken advantage of you that night. I didn't have the right intentions and-" I cut him off.

"I don't want to talk about that night okay? It was a mistake." He made a face that looked as if I'd just jabbed a knife in his side.

"Why did you want to do that? I wasn't really expecting it, and I'm not complaining, but why?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.

"I thought that because I'd been with you for a while that I was in love with you. And I thought since we were in love, that I needed to do that. It seemed like you wanted to...but little did I know you were cheating on me, or that I was still in love with Harry."

"I'm sorry it had to be like that." He whispered. I looked behind him, wanting to be anywhere but there. But that talk needed to happen, I knew that.

"I left a piece of myself with you that night...and I can't get it back. I'd always wanted my first to be Harry, I'd promised myself and him that it would. It didn't turn out that way."

"I shouldn't have let you. I was an idiot."

"So was I, but whats done is done. There's no going back now. It's not going to undo itself. But we can't ignore it either. It did happen, and that's always going to be a part of me, of both of us. We need to acknowledge that." There was a long pause. "I've learned a lot about honesty, and keeping secrets. This is one I don't want to keep. If someone asks me, I'm going to tell the truth. That includes Harry. And I want you to be truthful about it too." He gave me a weird look. "What?" I asked.

"He kind of already asked...and I denied it." I groaned.

"Niall."

"But in my defense, he said he was going to kill me, and I didn't feel like dying that day." I sighed and looked away.

"Whatever. I'll tell him if he asks. If he kills you, that's on you." He nodded.
