Forever?

Chapter 6: Admit It

Bryanna's POV

Holy shit! Sydney's pregnant with Harry's baby. This is a lot to take in.

"Bre Baby? You ok?" Lou questioned quietly. I nodded staring at the floor. I'm so excited for them. It's just Sydney's like my sister and Harry's like my brother. Do you know what I'm getting at?

Ok force that thought out of my mind. I shook off the thought and got up to hug Sydney.

"Congrats Syd. I'm happy for you guys." I told her while engulfing her in a hug.

"Thanks Bre." She beamed hugging back tightly. Times like this are what I wait for. I wish they lasted forever. A yawn escaped from my lips.

"Tired are we?" Lou asked. I nodded and sat down next to him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I leaned my head on him. This day is exhausting.

My eyelids grew heavy by the second. All I could hear were muffled voices.

Niall's POV

"I got her Lou." I picked up a sleeping Bryanna and carried her to his car. God she's beautiful. Why did I let her go?

"Hey Lou?"

"Yea?"

"Can I stay at your place it's late?"

"Yea, of course. What about Elise?" He said her name in disgust. I sighed.

"I know you don't like her, but could you try to be nice?" He huffed. "Anyways we got in a fight. She's not home." He nodded his head.

"Alright. Well you can come over anytime you need to." I smiled at him. He got in the car and started it up. "I'll see you at my place." I nodded and got in my car.

"Niall! That's awesome!" Lou exclaimed.

"Shhh!" I scolded him. "Quiet. I can't do anything about it anyway. She's with Jc and I screwed up. But God I still love her Lou." He slapped his hand on my shoulder.

"She still loves you man. We can all see it. She just needs to admit it to herself." We both sighed.

"Now that my friend, will not be easy. She doesn't want to hurt him." Lou nodded smiling like an idiot. "I need to go, but I'll be back."

"Alright mate. I'll see you later." I left the house, going to the diner that I'm meeting Elise at. She sat in a booth at the back of the diner. As I approached the booth her face remained straight. Shit I'm breaking her heart.

"You actually showed. Surprising." Her voice was emotionless.

"What are you talking about?" I questioned.

"You didn't come home last night. Where were you?" What the hell.

"You said you weren't gonna be there. And if you really wanna know I stayed at Lou's." I felt the frustration build inside me waiting to hit the top.

"I came home Niall. Thought I was being rediculous. You didn't come home." She snapped back at me. "Anyway. I packed all my stuff. I'm going back to the U.S."

"So we're done?" She nodded.

"Niall, I'm pretty sure it's mutal. It just wasn't meant to be. Have a good life Niall." We both stood up.

"I'm sorry El."

"It's alright. I promise." She smiled and I pulled her in for a hug. We pulled away and she started walking away. She stopped abruptly and turned to look at me.

"Oh, and good luck with Bryanna." She smiled.

"Bye El."

"Bye Ni." Just like that she was gone. Honestly she was a great girl. Just not the girl for me.

Lou's POV

Now that Niall's gone. Time to put my 'plan' in action. By plan I mean talking to her about Niall.

"What Lou?" Bryanna asked looking at me across the kitchen island.

"What do you mean? I haven't said anything." She raised her eyebrows.

"You've been staring at me for the past 5 minutes, idiot." She threw some french fries at me. I gladly shoved the salty covered deliciousness into my mouth. Her mouth dropped open. "You ate my fry." She stated quietly in disbelief.

"Yup." I smiled at her. "Anyway. I do need to talk to you about something."

"Let me guess." She tapped her finger against her chin. "Niall." Her eyes twinkled a little bit when she said his name. I nodded with a big grin on my face. "Lou there's nothing going on with us. I have Jc and he has Elise." She stated.

"No" I said. "You have Jc. Niall doesn't have Elise anymore." She looked at me confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"They broke up this morning. It was mutual between them and she left for America after they talked." Her mouth made an O shape.

"Oh... umm uh.... wow." She didn't know what to say. I nodded at her.

"Bryanna?" She looked up at me. "i want you to be completely and utterly honest with me. Alright?" She was hesitate at first, but then nodded her head. "Do you like Niall?" I looked her right in the eyes.

"Lou-"

"Don't lie to me, I know when you do."

"No, I don't like him! I love him Lou! But I don't want to hurt Jc. It's so fucked up!"

"Listen to me. Tell Jc the truth. Guys want it straight not sugar coated. He'll understand and I know he will. You need to tell him." She shook her head.

"No! I can't he'll hate me!" I grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

"Bryanna Juliet Evans! Listen to me! He won't hate you because he already knows that you love Niall! Everyone does!"

"Are you serious? Maybe this wasn't a good idea to come back to England." She got up and left the kitchen. God what have I done.
