Always In My Heart (Sequel To Love Hurts)

Chapter 51

"I'm sorry." Harry hugged Niall so tight after he heard what got him running out of the house after he got a call, "I'm so sorry.."

"It's not fair.." Niall hiccuped crying on his shoulder.

"I know. But we can't stand staring at Brooklyn's home for another half an hour, the neighbours might notice if tbey haven't already.." Harry looked around the quiet suburban area.

When Niall made him drive to Brooklyn's house without explanation, he hadn't question him seeing how upset his friend was. And Brooklyn losing the baby, Harry was not expecting that.

"I just need to see if Brooklyn is okay.." Niall wiped his tears looking at the house.

"Shawn said they're home, knock on the door and we'll soon find out, yeah." Harry said.

"Yeah." Niall took a deep breath, "Let's go." He led the way walking towards the house, knocked on the door..

"You could have just pressed the bell, Niall, I was just generalising when I said knock_" Harry paused talking when Niall raised his brow at him, "knocking is good too.." he added nodding.

Shawn didn't give them the welcoming support Niall was hoping for, denying them entrance into the house after he opened the door.

"What do you mean I can't see him?" Niall asked nearly in tears again. How can Shawn be so together after telling him the devastating news.

"Just following orders" Shawn said arms across his chest.

"What are you on about, who's orders? It's my baby!!" Niall shouted.

"Was.." Shawn regretted saying that immediately, "I shouldn't have said that I'm sorry, its your baby too. But you need to understand Brooklyn is in a bad way."

"And I'm not? Do you even know how much this means to me? I need to see him. No, I have to see Brooklyn. I have to, Harry.." Niall said agitated, on the brink of breaking down.

Harry threw his arm over his shoulder for comfort.
"Niall, please relax mate.." He said trying to calm him down, "Shawn come on what's this about, huh? Why can't he see Brooklyn?"

"Brooklyn doesn't want to see anyone, it's nothing to do with me. I'm sorry.."

"I'm not anyone, I'm his boyfriend. Can you please talk to him, Shawn, I beg you. He's lost our baby, I can't lose him too. Is he okay?" Niall pleaded.

"He is okay, well as okay as he can be.." Shawn sighed, he was feeling sorry for Niall but his brother is his first priority and his safety too. "I'll see what I can do. But can you do me a favour and wait by your car?"

"What?" Niall asked confused.

"I need you to wait over there.." Shawn said pointing at Niall's car, "away from the door"

"Fucking unbelievable, are you hearing this, Harry? Did he just say wait away from the door?" Niall asked getting pissed by the second. He was in the anger stage of his grief now..

"You want to see my brother don't you?" Shawn said not backing off. "Go wait by the car."

"Niall, settle down mate." Harry grabbed him by the arm as Niall squared up to Shawn, "Just do it. Please"

Niall groaned frustrated as much as he wanted to punch Shawn in the face he wouldn't, that would make Brooklyn pissed. And of course Shawn would probably snap his neck given that he's a marksmen and trained to kill. So Niall backed off and walked back to his car, "This is fucking ridiculous.." he complained to Harry.

"Tell me about it.." Harry agreed leaning against the car. They stood next to each other in silence watching and waiting for the door to open again..by Brooklyn hopefully, "I'm really sorry you lost the baby.."
