LOVED YOU FIRST // N.H.

Chapter 32

Niall's POV

It was the next day. I've left Brooke's house soon as we were done with our conversation and I've never felt more broken hearted than I did that after leaving her while both of us were crying. But I did what was best for us right now. If I've learned anything in these past few years knowing Brooke, if it's meant to be it'll be. I'm sure that if faith has anything in plans for us, we'll meet each other again. 

I decided that I'm done with getting drunk every single day just because I'm heartbroken. So I did what I do best. I poured all of my feelings into my songs that probably won't ever be recorded since they're way too personal for me to share them with the world. But can you blame me? I don't think that there will ever be another person who could make me feel like Brooke did. Maybe it'll be close or almost the same, but I just know that there'll never be another Brooke.

Brooke's POV

Yesterday was eventful. From me waking up in the middle of the night by Niall serenading me while drunk to us finally ending everything that has been going on with us. I've been handling it better than I expected myself to handle it. I've cried myself to sleep but when I woke up this morning I felt like all those feelings I kept  to myself were weighing me down. Deciding on handling it the best way I can - writing all my feelings into my unfinished book whom I hope to publish one day. But it's a far fetched dream. I'm happy with being a journalist and with writing only when I'm feeling inspired and  not all the time just because of a deadline.

Guess karma really is a b*tch and it's giving me back for what I did to Alex and I don't blame her. I deserved it all for breaking that man's heart just because of my selfish needs. 

1 YEAR LATER

I'm finally moving back to London after almost 2 years of being in New York. Jenna said she'll pick me up from the airport and drop me off at my new condo I bought for myself in center of London. Currently I was at John F. Kennedy airport waiting to board on the plane. It was 5:30 am New York time which meant it was 10:30 am in London, Jenna woke up around 8 am London time and was keeping me company while I'm waiting for my flight. About 15 minutes later people started boarding onto the flight and soon I was boarded onto the plane and was sat on my place. I pulled out my earphones and plugged them into my phone, playing my favourite spotify playlist I created. 8 hours later I was back in my favourite city - London. Jenna said she was waiting for me in her car at the parking lot. As soon as I was out of the plane and I got my suitcase back, I was rushing to find Jenna and give her a big hug. We haven't seen each other in 3 months which is probably the longest we've been apart. About two minutes of searching for her car, I finally spotted it and put my suitcases in the trunk and finally got inside of a car, startling poor Jenna with my bear hug but she quickly hugged me back and drove me to my new condo where we decided to watch a movie and get drunk on wine. It was like usual. And that's how pretty much the rest of my day went. Jenna and me watching Disney + and drinking wine while catching up on everything that happened. 

Niall's POV

A year. For a whole fucking year we haven't spoken to each other. In that entire year I've written an entire album about our relationship and published it because my management obviously doesn't care about my feelings but just about earning money on my pain and heartbreak. The only thing is I hope she doesn't listen to it and realizes it's about us. And now? I'm preparing for world tour. I'm gonna sing all the songs on that album publicly every night to fans who don't know anything about Brooke and I. Fantastic, isn't it? Remembering that Noah told me Brooke is moving back to London only made me even more nervous because during my world tour, I'm performing two nights in a row in London so there's a small chance of me running into her during all that madness. Hopefully no one will notice the tears in my eyes while performing all those songs and thinking about her. I really could've had everything I've ever wanted by now with the woman I love by my side supporting me all the time. But I had to fuck up every last chance I had with her and that's the biggest mistake I've made. You must think now ' Niall why don't you beg Brooke for another chance? She would probably give it to you. ' I wish it fucking worked like that, but it doesn't. I promised to myself I'll stay away from her not causing her even more trouble than I already have. I've went out with a couple of girls who had a potential of being the one. But neither one of them wasn't what I looked for. With the tour coming up and all of the album promo, I've been super busy, barely having time to stop and breathe for a second. Everything was a mess. 

6 months later

Brooke's POV

My life was back on track ever since I moved back in London. Of course, I was used to New York's crowds all of that, but London is where I feel at home the most. All those rainy days and constant smell of people making themselves tea brings this certain warm fuzzy feeling in my chest. I was on my way to my sister's house since I was now an aunt to a beautiful little prince called Tobias. It was my turn to babysit him and I couldn't be more excited to do so. I never thought I could adore such a small creature that I haven't even created. Last time I was babysitting him, I promised him we'll go out to get some ice cream the next time it's my turn to babysit him and I'll keep that promise with Jenna joining us. 10 minutes of walking and I arrived at my sister's house. As soon as I entered the house, a small human being run towards me, almost knocking me down onto the floor. '' Hey little guy. How are you? '' I picked him up and carried him in my arms to the living room where I placed him down onto the couch, giving him a small kiss on the head. Tobias giggled and slowly got down off the couch, picking up his toy and showing it to me. '' Ooh you have a new toy? It's very nice my love. '' He completely started ignoring me and gave all of his attention to the toy. That action made me laugh so I decided to make us some normal food before we go out for ice cream. '' Toby, baby wanna go eat some ice cream later? '' He looked me with such a happy look on his eyes and it's just made me melt. How much cuteness can one child have? He must get it from me. '' Ice cream, ice cream '' he kept repeating and I just chuckled. A little while later, I cooked us some chicken with mashed potatoes on side. I putted a small portion onto Toby's plate and a slightly bigger portion onto mine. I set it on the table and we ate.

An hour has passed since we ate and Tobias was currently taking his afternoon nap and once he wakes up we're gonna go get some ice cream with Jenna accompanying us. Couple of minutes later, a tired toddler came out of his room, rubbing his small eyes trying to wake himself up. He climbed onto the couch next to me and cuddled up into me. I gave him a small kiss onto his forehead. " Did you have enough of your nap, buddy? Ready to go get some ice cream? " " Yeees auntyy. " he was now running back into his room, making me run after him to help him change into different clothes. As soon as he was ready, I texted Jenna to come and pick us up.
Fast foward to when we arrived at the Ice Cream place and we all ordered the flavour we wanted. We were sitting just talking when I noticed that Tobias wasn't in his seat anymore. Panic immediately got the best of me and I got up looking for him when I saw him running after a bird making me run after him. Little did I know how funny faith can be and that my little nephew would be running into the one and only Niall Horan. Me screaming after Tobias to stop running wasn't very helpful either. " Tobias for love of God please stop-" before finishing the sentence the only guy I thought I'd never see is now crunching down in front of Tobias, talking to him. " Hey little guy, I see you're already making women chase after you, huh? " Tobias giggled and I was now completely frozen, not knowing what to do. Niall looked up and saw me. He smiled softly at me and got up. Tobias turned around and ran to me. " Aunty " He pulled my shirt because my eyes were glued to the man who stood in front of me. I looked down and saw him holding his hands up, waiting for me to pick him up so I picked him up and my eyes were back at staring at Niall.
" Hi. " He said.
"Hi. " I said back.

THE END.
