LOVED YOU FIRST // N.H.

Chapter 20

Brooke's POV

Ever since Alex and I talked and I gave him the divorce papers, we tried to spend these days together as much as our busy schedules could allow us. Jenna and I haven't seen each other since the lunch we had together with my parents and I kind of started to miss her annoying ass. Outside was still kinda hot even tho it was already the beginning of the October. Alex was busy all day so I called Jenna and invited her to come to the beach with me. After she agreed to come with me, I packed myself things I needed the beach. It took me an hour to pack things and dress for the beach. Grabbing the car keys, I made my way to the beach where I was meeting Jenna. Beach wasn't very far away so I got there pretty quick. We agreed to meet next to the small shop at the beach. When I got to the shop she was already there, waiting for me. " Finally you're here. " She rolled her eyes as she embraced me in her arms. " You're being dramatic. I'm only a minute late. " " Yeah yeah whatever let's go get some tan and chat. I have so much tea to spill. " We walked towards the spot where we could spread our beach towels. After we found the spot, we laid down on our towels, just after we put some SPF on us cause we learned our lesson about going to the beach without putting some SPF on us. It was a beautiful day, children were running around playing with sand, parents were trying to relax while still keeping an eye on their children. " So what's the tea sis? " Jenna broke the silence. " Bitch you're the one who said that you have so much tea to spill. " She chuckled. " I do, but I really wanna know how it went with Alex." She looked at me, begging me to tell her how it went. " We're having a trial at the end of this month, then it's over. " " How did he react? " She asked me. " We started arguing about it but then we realized that we're only making it even harder than it already is. That's why we're gonna remain to be friends. We also agreed that I'm gonna help him find someone else. Someone that could give him his whole heart, something that I couldn't..."
We talked for a bit more, enjoying our sunbathing. A bit later we took a few dips inside the sea before we called it quits and decided to go home.

30th of October, 2019.
Third person's POV

The day both Alex and Brooke were mostly scared of, finally arrived. They agreed to meet at the courthouse as if they both needed some time to mentally prepare for it. Brooke didn't know what to think. Would she be a bad person if she was glad that she'll be single again after 4 years of being together with Alex. She couldn't help but let her mind wander off to Niall. That boy always finds some way to creep inside her mind. The way his blue eyes would look at her, makes her melt into a puddle. Her heart would skip a beat anytime she would hear him laugh. It's like he was her drug and she couldn't help it. Brooke was crazy about him and she didn't want to admit it. Just like in Hercules, she won't say she's in love even though it's completely obvious. She won't deny that she has feelings for Niall, cause there is no point in that. But to admit that she is in love? It took her too long with Alex even to admit it to herself. She was so hurt in the past that she was scared. Her thoughts were interrupted when her taxi driver told her that they have arrived. She paid the driver and walked inside of the courthouse. Alex was already there with both his and Brooke's lawyers. When she noticed them, she approached them. They had a small chat before it was their turn to go inside. 

~ 1 HOUR LATER ~ 
BROOKE'S POV

It was done. There was no longer Mr and Mrs Clark. I was again just Brooke Roberts. Since Noah was back at the movie set, Jenna told me I could stay with her. So that's where I went after we were done at courthouse. It took me about half an hour to get there. When I arrived, Jenna was waiting for me, with our favourite ice creams in her hands. I smiled softly at her, glad that she knew exactly what I needed right now. My favourite ice cream and my best friend.

After a couple of hours of just laying around, watching movies and eating ice cream while also drinking wine, I came up with an idea that we should go to the karaoke bar. But when I suggested it to Jenna, she said that we could do it here at home since she has a karaoke machine. And that's how our wine drunk karaoke night began. The first song we sang was You're still the one by Shania Twain. Let's just say that we're not really the best at singing. Next song was Me! by Taylor S. and Brendon Urie. I really felt that we ruined that perfect song, but we didn't care. Two bottles of wine later the brightest idea came up to me. We started singing Let it go, jumping around the house, pretending to be Elsa. After the song ended we started giggling like crazy. My mind started wandering off as we laid down on the floor catching our breaths from all the dancing. That's when the voice I haven't heard in a while, started singing. My heart started beating fast because it was the song I never heard him singing or even him mentioning it.   '' We never finished what we started...'' tears were in my eyes as he sang that line. 
'' It's his unreleased song. '' Jenna spoke. '' Fans assume it's about One Direction's hiatus, but if you're asking me? It's about you two. '' I slowly nodded my head, trying not to cry even more. Jenna pulled me closer to her, hugging me tightly. '' Want some more ice cream and wine? '' she asked me softly. '' Yes please '' and that's how the rest of our night went on. We kept eating ice cream and drinking wine, while music played softly in the background.

Hello guys! It's been 5 months since I last updated oops. Honestly, I was finishing up school and my inspiration was at zero. I just wanted to finish up this chapter I've been writing for months. I have the entire story planned, but I just have to find the right time and inspiration. Please leave a vote and comment. It takes you only a second to do it, but it means so much to me.
