We have it in an Essex Way. (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Miles apart.

"Girls, tomorrow will be a busy day, since you have an interview on BBC in the morning and then you're performing the new single on Red or Black," Steven had said this morning.

It's March. We released the first single and the album at the end of February, 2 weeks ago or so. We've been busy ever since. It's good, though. That way I almost have no time to think about Niall and whatever it is what we got ourselves into. I mean, I enjoyed the bowling and the couple of days we spent watching movies and stuff, but he's gone to America, and I'm here promoting the new album. We text and tweet everyday, and we've talked on Skype a couple of times. But that's it. And that's pretty much what we did when we were just friends. Well, before we kissed, because I don't really know what we are now.

"I think I'll ask Lara to move in with me after the tour," Dougie said.

"Okay."

"Maybe I'll marry her."

"Good."

"Because she's pregnant with twins."

"Great."

"You'll be the Godmother of one of them."

"Alright."

"I broke up with Lara."

"WHAT????"

"I knew you weren't listening to me!," he said, throwing a couchon at me.

"I'm sorry! What were you saying?"

"That I may ask Lara to move in with me after our tour."

"That's great Doug! But you shouldn't have told me, you know I speak to her quite often and I won't be able to keep that as a secret!," I said laughing and hugging my friend to congratulate him.

2Hey, don't be so happy. I haven't asked her yet, and we don't know what she'll say!"

"Dougie, don't be silly, she'll say yes for sure! You're both in love, and there's no way I'm letting you lose Lara!"

"okay okay, I get it, you like her! Hahahaha anyway, how is it going with the blondie? It's been a while since we last talked about him."

"Well, yes...I don't know. I mean, he's in America on that tour with Big Time Rush and I'm busy with the new album and stuff," I heard something beeping, "hey Doug, I think that's my phone."

"Yep, Twitter," he said, and a grin appeared on his face as he handed me my phone- speaking of the Devil.

Niall Horan you can never get enough of @EssexWay's new album! It's just sick! btw @BrookeHolloway, @Harry_Styles says he misses his fiancée hahaha

These lads will never change.

Brooke Holloway @NiallOfficial cheers buddy! tell him I called off the wedding! how's Narnia? xx

Niall Horan @BrookeHolloway hahahaha I'll tell him! Narnia's as crazy as you told me! how are you? xx

Brooke Holloway @NiallOfficial I'm pretty good, busy with the promotion and stuff xx

Niall Horan @BrookeHolloway that's great! Skype soon? :)

Brooke Holloway @NiallOfficial Definitely! I can't tomorrow 'cos we're on Red or Black, but I'll let you know whenever I'm free! :)

Harry Styles @BrookeHolloway and @NiallOfficial count me in for the Skype thing! btw Brooke, I can't believe you called off our wedding! We'll have a serious talk when I get back to England!

Brooke Holloway @Harry_Styles sure love, I'll be waiting for it! xx

"You're just crazy!"

"At least I'm not weird," I said, obviously trying to tease Dougie.

"Sorry?"

"Well, not as weird as you, love."

"Whatever. That's what friends are for! And don't change the subject! We were talking about you and the blondie!"

"Oh yeah, that... well, I don't know. He's miles away and you know we talk quite often, but I don't know...I think we should've talked about it before he left."

"He's coming back in 2 weeks, it's not that much, B."

"I know, it's just, I knew I'd miss him, but I thought it'd be like the other times one of us has been away, and it's not. I really miss him. And he'll only be here for a week, then he's off to Australia."

"Well, you miss me too when I'm on tour."

"Yes, but, it's different."

"YES! I got what I wanted! You're falling for the blondie...if you haven't already!"

"Arrghh I hate you when you're like that!"

"If I wasn't like that, you wouldn't love me, admit it!"

"Whatever."

"Admit you're falling for the Irish blondie and I'll stop teasing you."

"I may be falling for him, happy now?"

"Not what I expected, but yes, enough for now."

The day after

"I think I've never been so happy to be on my pijamas, sitting on the sofa and watching TV," Charlie said.

"And eating chocolate ice cream," Kirsten finished.

"So Charlie, how are you doing with Zayn so far?," Haley asked.

"Well, I knew it'd be a little bit difficult, but I think we're pretty cool, you know, we are still as we were before he went to America, so it's good," she said, smiling. She always smiles whenever she's talking about that boy, "what about you and Niall, Brooke?"

"Erm..I don't know, we speak almost everyday, but we haven't really talked about where we are now in our relationship. I don't know.. by the way, I have to text him, he and Harry wanted to skype soon."
