More Than Anything (Niall Horan/One Direction fan-fic)

Chapter 9

Brooklyn POV:

--------------------

After Harry and I got finished with the dishes, we headed out to the sitting room where we

found the rest of the boys sitting down watching a soccer game that was playing on the tv. Zayn

and Liam were calmly sitting down, paying attention to the tv, occasionally looking down at

their phones, Niall and Louis were a different story though. Niall was on the edge of his seat,

looking at the tv intently, as if he were to blink he would miss something important. Louis was

standing, hands behind his head, clearly getting nervous. I was about to ask what was

happening when all of a sudden, cheers came from the tv, followed by Niall standing up, arms

flying into the air. "Yes!" He screamed, jumping up and down. Louis just sat down, clearly

disappointed in what had happened.

"Whatcha guys doin?" I asked, making my way to sit down on the couch.

"I made a bet with Lou in which team would win, and i won! Pay up Louis." Niall said, reaching

his hand in front of Louis, waiting for his money.

"I still think they cheated." Louis mumbled, grabbing a 20 dollar bill from his pocket and

"Uh Niall, I need to get going, I have work later on tonight and well, Audrey is probably getting

ready to call the police to file a missing persons report." I said, laughing to myself at the mention

on Auds over-protectiveness. I flash of sadness was seen on Nialls face, but it disappeared just as

fast as it had appeared, him clearly not wanting to seem clingy, Harry, however, showed

curiosity.

"Who's Audrey?" He asked, raising his eyebrow in a quizzical kind of way.

"Oh, she's my best friend, we share an apartment together, just fulfilling one tiny bit of our

teenage dream I guess." I said. When we were in high school, Audrey and I always talked about

getting an apartment together when we went away to college, and honestly, that's just what we

did. Sure, we don't go to the same college, but they are both very close to the apartment, so why

not. I will say though, freshman year of college was pretty lonely.

"That's cool." Harry said. "Hey Niall, why don't I come with you to take Brooklyn home?"

"Sure mate, is that ok with you Brook?" Niall asked.

"Sure, I don't mind." I said with a smile, and with that, Niall took me to get my stuff and we were
