Betrayal and Secrets

Chapter 12

~3 weeks later~

Teegan’s POV

Well Brooke is awake now… And she’s taken a liking in Louis. Which is a little weird so me. But it looks like he has taken a liking in her too. I haven’t really been with the guys very much, since what happened with Harry. I still can’t believe he kissed me. what was he thinking. Anyways, lately I’ve been spending my time on the balcony of my room playing my music and other artist’s music. Especially Ed Sheeran who is my most favorite artist of all times. Besides the Beatles. Who of course cannot be beaten, ever! But I was lost in my world of playing and singing and of just being lost in the music I didn’t even notice Niall walk onto the balcony. I was playing the song I wrote a few weeks ago. I called it last first kiss. And I loved it. Niall looked at the page. “Where are you?” I pointed quickly and continued playing, he then joined in with singing. When we were done singing. He looked at me. “That was beautiful. Could I show Simon? And also why have you been ignoring all of us?” I paused, dreading to answer that question. “thanks, yes you can tell Simon, and well something happened between me and Harry and I don’t know how to respond to it.” I explained. “What happened?” he asked. I looked down “Well… he, umm, sorta, kinda, umm, kissed me. And told me he liked me.” I fully explained. Niall’s face turned red. “HOW COULD HE!!! I TOLD HIM I LIKED YOU, BECAUSE YOU WERE DIFFERENT AND WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON!!” He yelled. I was scared. Then without warning he ran out of the room screaming Harry’s name. “Harry!!!!! We need to talk now!!!!” I brought my book inside along with my guitar and put them on my bed and followed him out there. when I got to the living room Niall was on top of Harry screaming in his face and trying to punch him. The rest of the guys were fighting to get Niall off and to calm down. “HOW COULD YOU?? YOU PROMISED YOU’D LET ME HAVE THIS! YOU SAID YOU’D BACK DOWN!!” Niall yelled. Then punched Harry, I was crying cause I hate violence, I have a deep secret that ive never told anyone, not even Brooke. And seeing Niall beat up Harry brought it back. “Fuck how could you!!!” Niall yelled again. “Please! Please stop!!! No!” I fell to the ground crying my eyes out, whispering to myself that it was all in my head and there wasn’t fighting. Meanwhile there was still screaming and yelling and fighting. “GUYS STOP LOOK WHAT YOUR DOING TO TEEGAN. I THOUGHT YOU BOTH CARED FOR HER! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO HER!”  Louis yelled. He walked over to me and hugged me trying to calm me down. I was still crying uncontrollably. I could hear that the screaming had stopped. And there were more people hugging me. I was terrified of fighting. Mainly because when I was younger there was a time in my life when my dad was a drunk and he beat me. Yeah, my life has never been perfect. And any type of yelling, screaming or violence bothers me. “Guys back away, she has these moments sometimes she just needs space.” I heard Brooke inform. Everybody backed away and Brooke picked me up and helped me walk to my room. “Here honey, sleep it off, okay. When you wake up nobody will be fighting and everybody will be friends.” I didn’t say anything else. I was just emotionless.

Brooke’s POV

     After getting Teegan in bed, that sounds weird but I don’t mean it that way I mean I got her to fall asleep. I walked into the living room, everybody was looking all stressed, confused or mad. “What the hell was that?” I asked, raising my voice a bit. “Ask Niall, why don’t you. Cause I don’t have a clue.” Harry said. Niall started getting upset again. “Ask me? Ask me? they should be asking you, you filthy liar!” Niall exclaimed. There was a silence then I spoke. “Well somebody answer. We need to know to figure out what to do.” Harry looked down. “I may know what’s going on.” He paused then continued. “While we were at the hospital we were talking and Niall mentioned how he liked Teegan. And I told him that I liked her too. But Niall kept going on about how much he liked her, and I didn’t think I liked her as much but I said he can have her. And that I would back off. And let him have her.” I was pissed at those words. “You talk like she’s something you can buy and own! And that’s not how this is going to work. If you want her Niall you have to win her heart, make her fall for you, and not break her heart.” I said sternly. Then Harry continued. “Well as I was saying. We discussed that he could have her. But when we got back and I talked to her alone I realized that I really did like her, and I may have possibly kissed her.” He finished off in almost a whisper. We were all stunned. “You did what?” Liam asked. Shocked, that’s the only word I could use to describe what I felt. “Niall? Is that why you were so upset?” I asked while walking closer to him. He just backed up, tears in his eyes. Then he walked out of the room. Last thing we heard was a door slam.
