Brooke sat in a restaurant in Manchester, with a few of her friends from work. They were all giggling and discussing about what was happening on the set and with each others lives. She then saw a familiar face walk into the restaurant with a pretty brunette on his arm. They stood at the bar and got served some drinks, he paid for them like the gentleman he was. She stared at them, he looked good, she loved how he had grown his hair out naturally. It was now curly and he had a more defined face that he had a year back. One of the girls nudged her arm "you okay?" she asked "yah, it's just uh Nathan is over there with Demi!" she said "Oh shit, we can get the bill and go" Sacha said "No it's fine" Brooke smiled faintly. "Demi Lovato, hasn't got a thing on you" Faye said, Brooke nodded softly, trying to smile a bit. As much as she wanted to believe this she knew she wasn't. Demi Lovato was adored by millions, she was an international popstar and actress, she was a sex symbol. From what she had read, they had been dating for the last six months . However, she knew that Demi would never love Nathan like she did.
She then saw her ex boyfriend walk over, he walked past the table to go to the toilets on his phone not noticing his ex was sitting there. A few minutes later he walked out of the toilet. He made eye contact with Brooke, "Brooke? Hi" he said with a slight smile, seeing him up close he looked more handsome than he did a year ago. He had grown stubble and he just looked more defined. She smiled "hey" she said "how are you?" he asked "I'm great, yeah still on corrie and I'm also on dancing with the stars" she said "Oh great, yes my mum said you were on there. That's amazing she said you're really good" he said "how about you" she asked "Good, yeah this is the first time I've been in the U.K for a while. I'm mainly based in L.A now! But yeah working on the next album and yeah everything is going great" he said "how's Demi" Brooke asked "Oh, she's awesome yeah. Showing her around Manchester today, but yeah I better get back. It was really nice to see you" he said with a genuine smile as he turned around and walked back to his table.
Brooke looked over at the table, he kissed her hand as they chatted. She laughed at what was probably one of his really bad jokes, that he used to tell her. She was beautiful and Brooke couldn't deny that, what hurt was that Nathan looked at her with no spark or glint in his eyes like he used to, he now looked at Demi with that admiration. He kissed her cheek as she cuddled his chest in a private booth. Brooke wondered if Demi made him feel wanted like she did, if she held him the same way. What they talked about, if he was truly happy with her. She really wanted him to be happy, more than anything in the world. She wondered if he ever thought of him.
However the collapse of the relationship, was on her. She was the one who ended things. Things got tough and she ran away. But now looking at Nathan happy with someone new, all she could think was she's not me and she will never be me.
