LOVED YOU FIRST // N.H.

Chapter 28

Niall's POV 

It's been a couple of days since Brooke's party happened. Most of them knew I'm not coming, and not because I didn't love her, on the contrary, I couldn't love her more than I do. The reason I didn't show up was that I knew that at the end, somehow I'd hurt her. She deserves the world, and I'm afraid I'm not able to give it to her. She hated me, and it's something I had to do. If she knew the reasons I know exact words she'd say to me. That it's not my call to make decisions for her, therefore I am not telling her the truth about this, and something's telling me that Noah's and Jenna's wedding is the last time I'll see her unless we have to do another interview. Today was the day before the wedding and everyone's head was everywhere. Jenna asked me to take care of Noah today since I was the best man. It still felt surreal that those two are finally getting married and in Vegas!! I made sure Noah had his suit ready for tomorrow while he was finishing up his vows and practising them. Everything had to be perfect for tomorrow. 

Brooke's POV

When Jenna and I finished with everything that had to be done for tomorrow, I made her watch High School Musical with me. Let's just say it didn't go as well as I thought it would.
In the middle of the movie, when Gabriella started singing When there was me and you, for some reason made me start crying, leaving Jenna comforting me even tho we should be doing literally anything, but of course I just had to start crying.

After we finished watching the first movie, I remembered I had some wine in the mini-fridge that I bought two days ago. A few glasses of wine later, we were a giggling mess since it was some cheap wine that could easily get you drunk, we played Never Have I Ever like it was such a good idea. 

// THREE HOURS LATER // 

Regret. That's what I'm currently feeling, as my head feels like it's about to fall down off of my shoulders. We fell asleep during the game, but I woke up with the sound of my phone ringing. When I looked up to see who was calling, I was surprised when I saw that it's Louis.  

'' Hello? '' I answered the phone. '' Sorry did I wake you up from your nap? '' Louis asked '' No, don't worry I've just fallen asleep because I drank way too much wine. Anyways, what did you call for? '' I rubbed my eyes '' Oh I was wondering if you'd want to come for a walk with me? I need someone to talk to, but all of the boys are busy so I thought of you. '' '' Sure, I'll be ready in five minutes, just let me change and sort out my hair. Wanna meet outside or should I come to your room? '' I got up from bed ''I'll meet you outside, see you in a minute. '' he hung up, leaving me to change quickly and to sort out my hair. Five minutes later I was down in front of the hotel, Louis already waiting for me. I gave him a quick hug before we started walking. 
'' How are you? I barely got to see you during this mess. '' I started the small talk. '' Oh I've been good, yeah yeah. How are you after everything that happened with Niall? Are you good? '' He asked me. I nodded my head. '' Yeah I've gotten used to being let down by him by now. Nothing new. What did you want to talk about, it seemed quite important? '' Louis took a deep breath before speaking up. '' I am confused...'' he paused before continuing '' I'm confused because I think I have feelings for Jenna. Which is insane I know, because we all know what happened at yours and Alex's wedding when Niall confessed his feelings he has for you. And look where that brought you and Alex. You both could've been one of the happiest couples I know, but he ruined that for you. Which lead me to promise myself I'm not telling anyone about those feelings because I don't want to ruin what Jenna and Noah have. They are perfect for each other, they found themselves in the other one. But it was killing me inside not telling anyone. So here I am, pouring my heart out to you because once I do this, I know I'll feel better. '' His words left me in shock. I saw the signs, but I never gave a second thought to them. '' Niall confessing his feelings towards me didn't ruin my marriage with Alex. Yeah it was one of the reasons, but if I didn't return those feelings to Niall, I'd still be married to Alex. But if you feel like you need to keep those feelings down, I completely understand you. Whatever you do, I'll support you. '' I gave him a hug, wanting to let him know that he was not alone. He hugged me back. We walked for an hour or so before we decided to go back because it was getting dark outside. Jenna was still asleep from when we drank wine, so I just softly woke her up, letting her know that it's time for a final dinner before the wedding.

'' What time is it? I feel like I've slept through my wedding. Ugh. '' I chuckled as she slowly got out of the bed and changed into something different. A couple of minutes later, we went downstairs, most of the crew already waiting for us. We took a car and drove over to the restaurant that wasn't so fancy, just casual restaurant. Once everybody arrived, we ordered some food and talked until the food arrived. Jenna and I ordered some coca-cola while everybody else either also ordered some juice or a beer. And that's how the rest of the night went by. Just casual talk and relaxing our minds before the big day tomorrow.
