LOVED YOU FIRST // N.H.

Chapter 11

Brooke's POV

As soon as I entered my apartment, I broke down in tears. I couldn't believe he would do such a thing to me. He betrayed all these fucking years of our friendship. I was down on my knees crying when Alex walked out of our bedroom, shock written all over his face. He immediately walked over to me getting on his knees too. '' Baby what's wrong, why are you crying? Please don't cry.'' He pulled me into his arms, rubbing my back trying to calm me down. '' I e-ended m-my f-friendship with N-Niall. '' I barely said through sobs and tears. He let out a sigh.

'' What happened? Let's get up, yeah? I'll make you some chamomile tea to calm you down. '' we got up and he told me to sit down on the couch and wait for him to make me tea. Soon he joined me on the couch as he placed the tea on the coffee table in front of me. '' Drink some tea, It will calm you a bit. '' I took a sip of the tea and took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. After a few seconds of silence, I spoke up. '' Niall and I haven't talked since the last time he was here on his break. I thought 'alright maybe he's busy with his tour coming to an end ' and I understood that. But then today when I surprised him at the airport, we talked and he told me that he met some girl. So I asked if that girl was more important than his best friend, he said that I don't understand , that she's amazing and if I've met her I would've thought the same. And that's when I was starting to get tired of our fights and I told him that our friendship is over and that he doesn't need to bother coming to our wedding. '' My eyes started tearing up again and the tears were rolling down my cheek. I furiously wiped them away, before continuing. '' And you know what he said to me? '' I laughed. '' He said not to worry because he wasn't planning to. '' Alex pulled me back into his arms, letting me cry. '' I'm sorry for being such a crybaby, but I can't help it. '' I laughed dryly. He wiped away the tears from my cheeks, making me look at him. '' You're not a crybaby. It's completely understandable that you're upset about this. You've been friends for so many years and I was completely surprised when you told me that you ended your friendship. He's been there for you when no one else was. Including me. '' He smiled softly at me.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Brooke was truly heartbroken and that made Alex even sadder. He hated to see her like that. He couldn't help it but feel little relieved that Niall was no longer a threat. Don't get him wrong, Alex loves Niall and they are very good friends, but he was no fool. He knew that both of them have feelings towards each other that are crossing a line of being a love you feel towards a friend, but he didn't mind it as long as Brooke still loved him. Sounds a little selfish if I may say so. But who can really blame him? He knew that if Brooke were in a situation to choose between him and Niall, she would've chosen Niall and that's why he's so insecure when he's in the same room with Niall but he didn't want to show it. Let's talk about how Niall's doing, shall we? Well you see, Niall was also heartbroken, but he understood her and her actions. A little smile was brought on his face when he remembered the first time the boys and he met her. It was four years ago when Brooke was still working at Entertainment Weekly. She was assigned to write an article about One Direction, but before writing it she, of course, had to interview them first. She was so shy about meeting them because she as well was a big fan of them. Her inner fangirl was well hidden during the interview. Niall was entertained by her and he thought that she has a great sense of humour and he couldn't help but think how beautiful her smile was. She was so nervous and with only one thought on her mind; don't mess it up. The boys and their fandom already knew she was a big fan since she likes to talk about them on her social media. But what fans mostly appreciated about Brooke was that she would always communicate with her followers on social media. For example, for today's One Direction interview she asked the fans what questions they would've asked the boys if they were the ones who were doing the interview on the twitter. Only a few seconds passed before her phone was blowing up from all the notifications she was receiving from Twitter. That day went something like this...
