I Wish You The Best

Chapter twenty three; I Wish You The Best

Niall and I were on the couch watching films. He was sitting up, and I was lying down on the couch with my head in his lap. We heard footsteps outside our front door, but the neighbors have been hosting parties lately so, we thought it was no big deal. The door burst open and in ran Aibreean with a red face and tear stained cheeks.

"Hey, I'll be right back..." I told Niall.

"I wanna come with, she's my step-sister."

We ran down the hall to Bree's room and knocked on the door.

"Hey babe. Can we come in?" I said. It was quiet. Niall reached in front of me and opened the door. We walked in and rushed over to her bed. Bree was lying on her bed with her face buried in a pillow. I pulled back her hair so it was out of her face.

"What's wrong?" Niall asked.

"Can I talk to Bella, please?" she managed to mutter. Niall got up, patted our backs, and left the room.

"What happened? Weren't you at Alex's?" I asked.

"Yeah. But I got a text. From Zayn. God, Bella, I don't know what to do!" She lifted her head from the pillow to face me. I wiped the running makeup from her cheeks.

"What did it say? Was it that bad?" She handed me her phone, which had the message pulled up.

'Aibreean, those songs I sang on the first day of our tour were meant for you. I want you to know that I was NEVER with Perrie. I wanted you. Never her. I know I was always the kind of 'stand off-ish' type, but I'm shy. I would be willing to come out of my shell, just to be with you again. I feel so lost in my little world here. Going on our first American tour was something I wanted to experience with you. All of this probably meant nothing, but I had to let you know everything. Everything that would make you consider atleast talking to me. I can love you more than this. Bree... I Love You.'

I almost teared up. THAT WAS SO SWEET!! I know Zayn's story, and I would love to tell Bree everything that he's told me, but I really can't.

"Bree, trust me on this one. Zayn meant every word in that message. This was the only way for him to get through to you." Huh, never thought I'd be the love doctor here.

"I love Zayn. I really do! But Alex has been the best boyfriend ever. What do I do?!" she begged.

"Well, there's a saying. It goes, 'If you love two people, go for the second one. Because, if you really cared for the first, you wouldn't have fell for the second.' it's up to you whether you follow that."

"I think I'll break it off with Alex. I'll wait a bit to talk to Zayn. I don't wanna be that freak who dumps someone then gets with another guy, two seconds later."

"Do whatever makes you happy."

"Thank you so much." she pulled me into a hug.

"Anytime." I replied with a smile.

"Will you tell Niall that I'm fine?"

"Yeah, but whatever you do, do it soon." I said, walking out of her room.

I sat back down with Niall and reassured him that Bree was okay. We finished watching '21 Jumpstreet', then plugged in season one of 'Full House.' It's days like this that I'm glad to be a 90's kid.

"You don't understand! That's not what I meant to do!" I heard Aibreean yell. No one else was here besides the three of us, so she must've been on the phone. Niall got up and went to check on her. A few minutes later, he came back.

"She wants you." he said, scratching the back of his head. I walked over to her room and slowly walked to her.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I broke up with Alex. He thought I was using him." she wasn't crying, she just had a sad expression on her face.

"Well, do you wanna talk to Zayn soon? We're going to the studio tomorrow, you can talk to him there."

"You don't think it's too soon? I don't want things to be awkward..." she trailed off.

"I think that this is what he's been waiting for."

"Actually, I think I'll go talk to him now. Thanks Bella." she hugged me again, then smiled and left.

I hope everything works out.
