Mine ~ Lee Hinchcliffe (COMPLETED)

Third wheeling sucks.

Brooke's POV

"Brooke, Steph's here." My mum yelled up the stairs. I grinned, jumping off my bed to open up my bedroom door where Stephanie stood. She squealed and pulled me in for a hug.
"I've missed you." I said before pulling away to look at her.
"Gosh, look at you. You've gotten taller." I frowned, realising how short I was compared to my best friend.
"I was only gone for two months." Steph laughed, walking passed me and falling down on to my bed. I smiled and turned to face her.
"2 months was too long." I replied, laying down beside her.

"Have you seen Jake recently?" She asked and I shook my head.
"We've spoken but haven't actually seen each other since you left." I explained.
"Do you and Jake become strangers once I leave?" She asked and I laughed, shaking my head.
"No we've just been pretty busy. I've been to a few meet ups and don't forget that I was supporting that singer around England the other week." I said and she shot up.
"Oh yeah. How'd that go? Girl we need to catch up." She giggled and we began to talk about everything that's happened in the past two months whilst Stephanie was on holiday.

"So no new lover?" She asked and I shook my head.
"No. It's going to take me a little while to get over Louis." I sighed and she rolled her eyes.
"Babe, Louis cheated on you a year ago. You have to let it go. Sometimes holding on does more damage than letting go." She said and I looked at my hands, fiddling about with my fingers. Dang that got deep quickly.
"I know but he was the first boy that I've properly ever liked." I said.
"Someone will come along. I promise you that." She smiled and I grinned.
"I hope so." I sighed before standing up.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"We are going shopping." I smirked.

-------------------
"Oh please." Stephanie said, begging me as I looked through the clothes on the rails.
"Third wheeling sucks." I frowned.
"Jake said that his friend from up north is staying with him for a while, plus, we never leave you out and if we do, you go and talk to Eloise." She said as I picked out a top and held it up to myself only to decide that I don't like it so I hung it back up.
"You've been back for what, not even a day and you're already thinking about spending time with Jake?" I asked.
"When you get a boyfriend, you'll understand." She sighed as she followed me to the shoe section.
"Do you like these?" I asked, picking up some black pumps.
"Stop changing the subject B." She huffed. B was my nickname that Jake and Stephanie made up a couple of years ago for me.
"I'm not changing the subject, I'm just thinking." I sighed, running my hand through my hair.
"What's there to think about? You're either coming or you're not." She said.
"Please, please, please, please, please-" she repeated, over and over again and I rolled my eyes.
"Alright, fine." I groaned and she squealed, thanking me. I laughed and we walked out of the shop to costas.

------------------
"So is this 'friend' of jakes, a boy or a girl?" I asked as we sat down at the table.
"Do you seriously think I'd let him invite a girl to stay with him whilst I'm not there?" She scoffed.
"It's a boy then." I laughed and she nodded.
"I'll go get the drinks." She said quickly before getting up and walking over to the till.

I sighed and pulled my phone out of my bag to text Jake.

TO MITCHELL
Oit Jake! Your girlfriend has forced me to come up to Hereford with her in a couple of days. Will there be enough room for us all?

I got a reply back almost instantly, which never really happens from Jake unless he's talking to Stephanie.

FROM MITCHELL
Oit B 😋 what do you mean she forced you? Don't tell me she abused you again? 😂 I can't wait to see you both, one problem... I don't know if there will be much room because Lee from up north is staying in the spare room. I guess he could kip in with me and you and Steph could share the spare room? It's up to you :)

TO MITCHELL
Nope, no abuse used this time 😂 oh great, perfect. Sharing a room with Stephanie will be wonderful. Note the sarcasm Jake. She'll be moaning all night because she can't sleep in the same bed as you 😂

FROM MITCHELL
We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it then! It'll be fine. See you in a couple of days :)

I didn't bother to reply as Stephanie had already come back with the drinks. I thanked her and looked down at my drink with a grin.
"Hot chocolate. You know me well." I giggled as I scooped up some of the whipped cream on my finger and popped it in my mouth.

"Who were you texting?" She asked.
"Nosy much." I smirked and she rolled her eyes.
"I'm kidding. I was just texting Jake to tell him I was coming with you. He didn't seem to mind, he only said that we might have to sort out who's sleeping where and things." I explained and she nodded.
"That's fine." She smiled.

Thinking about it, I'm quite excited to see the Mitchell's again. I haven't seen them in ages.
