BROOKE'S POV

"C'mon Brooke! Were gonna be late!" Harry yelled from downstairs. I finished putting the back on my earring and went downstairs. Just as I stepped off the bottom stair, Niall turned the corner and almost ran into me.

"Well don't you look gorgeous!" he said, giving me a quick peck on the cheek. I was wearing a little black dress (see what I did there?) with red heels, my hair was in lose curls and I had a red clutch.

"You don't look to bad your self!" I returned. Niall was wearing a black polo with khakis and Converses.

The rest of the boys met us at the door and we left. It was a short ride to Ed's house, his huge house. Niall helped me down from the car and we walked hand in hand to the door.

Once we got inside, I looked around and saw a couple of faces that looked familiar, from magazines and publicity, but no one I actually knew. I squeezed Niall's hand and he gave me a reassuring look, "You'll have fun, trust me."

We made our way through the crowd of people and went straight to the kitchen. Niall got a beer, but I stuck with pop, I'm not legally old enough to drink in the States and I never got invited to parties so I never drank. But who knows, maybe I'll loosen up and have a drink or two...

Louis has dragged me into the crowd of dancing people, and even though it's really hot and people keep elbowing me, I must say it's pretty fun. Louis and I are just having fun and dancing with different people. I started talking to this girl named Casey, she seems really nice.

Casey and I decided to take a break from dancing so we headed back to the kitchen for a drink.

"So, you're from New York?" Casey asked, getting something to drink.

"Yeah, and you're from..." I asked.

"Here in London!" she happily responded.

"Cool! so what do you like to do?"

"I swim occasionally for competitions and I really love traveling!"

"You would love my friend, Skyker. She's back in New York swimming in a Grand Prix. But where do you like to travel to?" I said.

"France, I know French really well," she answered.

"That's cool, I've always wanted I go there!"

"So are you really Harry's twin sister?" she asked.

"Yeah, my parents didn't tell me I was adopted until last year!" I said, then continued to tell the rest of the story.

"Wow! Well I should get going, I have work tomorrow," she said rolling her eyes, "Here, let me have your phone, I'll put my number in it!" I handed her my phone and she punched in her number and gave it back to me after she texted herself, and left.

I saw that the time was 12:30, and decided to look for Niall. I looked through the crowd, in the kitchen and then outside. He was in the back, talking with a group of guys. I walked over to him and stood next to him, "Hey!"

"Hi babe," he said, kissing my head.

"Who's this?" someone our age said, clearly drunk, looking me up and down. I gave him a disgusted look.

"Back off man, she's mine," Niall defended, putting his arm protectively around me.

The guy put his hands up in the "I'm innocent" gesture. Niall and I started walking away from them and back to the house.

"When are we gonna leave?" I asked.

"I don't know," he answered.

"Oh..."

"Why? do you want to leave already?" Niall asked.

"No I was just wondering," I replied. We went inside and more people came to talk to Niall, so I just awkwardly stood there while he talked to them.

I decided to play on my phone, since I didn't know anyone that Niall was talking to. I texted Skyler first,

Me: Helppppp!!!!!!

A few minutes later I got a reply,

Skyker: What's wrong?!?!

Me: I'm at a party and don't know anyone here...

Skyler: What's Niall doing?

I looked up to see what he was doing, for Skyler, just in time to see some girl kiss him!

Me: Uhh gotta go

"What the hell?!" I screamed as I went over to him.

"Babe, relax she's an old friend," Niall tried to cover up.

"Oh, old friends kiss each other?!" I said giving him less than a second to respond, "Yeah, I didn't think so."

"Who even are you?" the girl slurred.

"I'm Niall's girlfriend!" I said, puting emphasis on 'girlfriend,' "Or soon to be ex-girlfriend." And with that, I stormed out of the house and started walking in the direction I think we came from.

I wasn't even half way down the block when I heard someone call my name. I kept walking, not wanting to deal with anyone right now.

"Brooke! Stop!" they said again, I wasn't paying enough attention to figure out whose voice it was. I started walking a little faster, hoping they would get the message to leave me alone. I clearly want walking fast enough because whoever was calling my name, grabbed my arm and turned me to face them.

Harry.

"Where are you going?" Harry said confused.

"Home," I said angrily.

"May I ask why?" he asked calmly.

"No you may not," I sassed, and turned around, only to me turned back around to face Harry again.

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want to talk about it," I said, not making eye contact.

"Well I do, and what exactly is 'it'?" he pondered. I don't want to even think about it, let alone tell Harry what happened.

"Just nothing..." I said, tears forming in my eyes.

"Brooke," his tone softened, "Tell me what's wrong."

"Niall," I said, getting choked up at his name.

"What about him?" Harry continued.

"He... a girl..." I didn't have to go on any longer, because, thankfully, Harry cut me off.

"That little... I'm gonna... Simon told him directly not to do this!" Harry fumed. This is exactly why I didn't want to tell Harry, because then he gets pissed off and then it's liked that first party all over again!

Harry tried storming off back to the house, but I caught his wrist just in time to stop him, "Harry, just forget about it, I'll deal with it in the morning."

"Well you're not walking back home," Harry said.

"Yeah I am, it's not that far," I returned.

"Why do you always have to argue with me? I'll call you our driver," he said, taking out his phone and dialling a number.

Shortly, a range rover came and I claimed in.

"Don't do anything stupid when you get home, alright?" Harry said before I closed the door.

"I won't," I replied. And then we were off back to house.
