Double trouble
Chapter 10
Emma's POV
We were all done re-packing up. That was even an exhaustion. I zipped up the matching suitcases and smiled. When all of a sudden Niall said.
"Do you girls want a ride?" I looked at Brooklyn, knowing what she would say.
"You know what, were good, but thanks anyways." I said. Niall sighed.
"You can tell us what's the address and we can meet you there?" Brooklyn added to make a positive spin.
"Sure." He wrote it down on a piece of paper and gave it to Brooklyn, then smiled.
"So, what bus should we take?" I said. Niall looked shocked.
"You-, wait, you're not driving your own car?"
"Nah," I said. "We'll come and pick it up after."
"Okay, but what if someone takes your car?" He was debating the conversation. I rolled my eyes and shook the keys. His mouth , made an "o".
"Okay then," he said. "I'll let you two be. Bye Brooklyn!" He waved goodbye as we got to the bus stop.
Brooklyn's POV
I waved goodbye to Niall, then starting walking to the nearest bus stop. I was excited to see Niall's flat. It was nice of him to lend it to us. All of a sudden.
"Brooklyn, wait!" It was Niall. I turned around and walked back.
"Brooklyn, we're gonna be late!" Emma said. I ignored it. I kept on walking back. Emma followed me.
"What Niall." I said, approaching him.
"There's something you forgot." He pulled out the two matching dresses from "that night".
"Thanks!" I said grabbing them from him. I zipped back open my suitcase as fast as I could and shoved the two dresses in. I zipped it back again. I lifted up my head and there Niall was, leaning in for a kiss. I pushed away.
"Sorry Niall, but we're just friends." He leaned his head down. "I have to go, meet you there!" I lowered my voice each time. I ran back over to Emma and said.
"Let's go." I grabbed her wrist and her suitcase went rolling.
We finally arrived on the bus, I dropped my change in and got a bus ticket in return. I sat down, where Emma was right next to me. The bus started going.
"What just happened there?" Emma said.
"I-I don't want to talk about it." I stared off into the distance. She tilted my head towards her face, where a giant smile slid across it.
"Um, yes you do." She said.
"Okay, Niall tried to kiss me, I mean, were just friends, right?"
"Really! Well, did you let him down?" I nodded, a guilty smirk on my face. "Come on Brooklyn! Give him a chance! What's up with you lately?" I finally had to tell her. I pulled out my diary and flipped to a page.
"Read this." I said. She looked.
*beginning of diary*
"March 25th 2013,
Hey, Brooklyn here again. I'm not sure if I should date this "Niall". I hardly even know him. I don't wanna reveal to him that I'm going through depression, after I left mum. I've always hated dad. He always hit me ,abused me, and screamed at me whenever mum wasn't there, and it left these bruises, these battle scars I hide.
Anyways, I don't know if me and Niall are this intimate relationship yet... I'm going through this depression, and he doesn't know. I keep this smile on my face whenever I see him. Of course I always have a smile on face, he's so darn cute! He's just really positive too, I'm not the best when it comes to that, I'm more shy.
So if I find another guy who's a little better than Niall, I'll go for him. Depends who he is and his personality. But I love Niall, I wouldn't bear to loose him. He's like my brother that I've just got to meet. Anyways, bye! ~Brooklyn.

Brooklyn's POV
I closed the book and stared at Emma. She was shocked. Tears started rolling down my eyes.
"Oh my gosh, I never knew you felt like that, how come I never knew about dad?" Emma said in a low, caring voice.
"Dad threatened me, if I ever told anyone, that I would pay up." I sunk my face down into my legs. Emma pulled me up, and wiped the tears off my face.
"I'm so sorry.." Emma said. I didn't respond.
The tears finally stopped coming, and my face cleared up, after a couple bus rides, we finally arrived. I looked at Niall's flat. Outstanding. One thing that made me happy. We got off the bus, but we weren't the only ones. A man in a long, black coat and a hat followed us off.
"Stay with me." Emma whispered. I held on to her hand and was about to walk in, but it was locked, the man came closer. We stopped. Officially creeped out.
