I woke up by the morning light through the window and realized I wasn’t in my own bed, I looked around and saw Niall sleeping in a bed next to me and suddenly everything came back to me again. I’m always confused in the morning it usually takes some time for me to catch up with reality again. Niall opened his eyes and met my gaze, he stretched and smiled at me.
“Good morning beautiful” I smiled back and thought to myself that I’m probably not that beautiful right now, I bet my hair looks like a haystack.
“Good morning!”
“Slept well? No monster visits?” I stretched out my tongue against him like a five year old but he deserved it. He did back at me and we ended up laughing at each other for being so childish.
“Breakfast?” He said happily.
“Always hungry as usual” I said and got up from the bed without thinking of that I still wore that tiny nightwear. Niall looked approvingly at me and bit his lip; I have noticed he does that every time in situations like this.
“Niall! Stop it!” He laughed and got up from the bed not caring of what I said and now it was my turn to bite my lip, I got to admit it he’s definitely someone worth looking at. He went to stand right in front of me and took one hand behind my back and dragged me closer to him. It was only inches between us now and I was well aware of that and had to tell myself to keep breathing in and out slowly. He leaned forward and I putted my finger on his lips.
“Keep dreaming boy” And dragged me out of his arms with a big smile. He just stood there still a little bit chocked and the shook his head and laughed and I could hear him say very quiet something like.
“It’s crazy what you do to me girl” I laughed o myself, took my bag and ran away to the toilet to change clothes and brush my hair. When I got out I met Niall in the hall and together we walked down to the kitchen.

His mum was already up and had made us breakfast so we sat down directly and started to eat. Niall looked at me the whole time and every time I met his gaze I smiled and then had to look down because I was blushing.
“Carly your dad called before, he will be here in an hour I think he misses you at home already” She said and gave me that ‘mum smile’. If he has been living without me the last couple of years then what’s the difference now. But I didn’t mind, I had a lot to think off and I also wanted to search and find out more about Niall and his band but I will not give him that profit and tell him. It’s strange to think that so many girls in the world would have given up anything to sit here in the kitchen with Niall; it’s a little bit scary too. I wonder how far his fans will go, how crazy they are. Niall interrupted my thoughts by saying.
“When are you starting school here?” Oh God I had already forgotten about school.
“I start on Monday, which means tomorrow” I said and grimaced.
“It’s actually a really good school; the people there are really nice! You will see it’s not s bad as you think”
“Says the superstar who doesn’t need to go to school!” I answered and winked at him, he just rolled his eyes at my comment but I saw a little smile twitch in the corners of his mouth. We sat there and talked about the school until my dad chimed outside to tell he was here! Niall ran up to get my stuffs and when he got down he asked.
“So when will I see you again?”
“We’ll see okay?” He grimaced
“I guess, but I’m not letting you go don’t forget that” he said and then hugged me and kissed me on my cheek which by the way made me blush again, like usual. I smiled at him and said goodbye to his mum then ran outside to my dad’s car and jumped in. I told him about the weekend at Niall’s but left out some parts that would have given him some bad ideas which were pretty much of the weekend.

At home I ran straight up to my computer, typed in and searched ‘Niall Horan’. I scrolled down the page to find an interesting link to press and found one that made my heart stop.   

This is only a dream, I will wake up soon. Only a dream Carly, stay calm. Those lines went through my mind over and over again. I closed my eyes and pinched myself in my arm hoping that when I opened my eyes this would be unsaid. But unfortunately the only thing I saw was Niall sitting right against me waiting for my reaction.
“You told me you weren’t like everybody else” I was hurt, he had lied to me. And I did surely not wanted to get any attention of any kind of media. Being with Niall would make that inevitable.
“But Carly please understand me, for the first time since we got famous I could hang out and get to know a girl knowing she would be with me because she wanted to now because she wanted to get attention.” I noticed a tear slowly run down my face and quickly dried it away.
 
“And for how long did you think you could keep it? Because if Alexis hadn’t talked to you today, you wouldn’t have told me now” The tears kept streaming down my face as I speak, I looked in another direction to hide it but he noticed it anyway. He got up from his chair and walked over to me and sat down in front of me.
“Please don’t cry Carly, I meant everything I’ve said to you. This doesn’t have to change anything” He said and tried to take my hand but I pulled it away. I saw the hurt look in his eyes but I didn’t care.
“This changes everything Niall! What if paparazzi already have noticed us? I’m not interested in getting any hate at all from your ridiculous fans” Now he looked even more hurt.
“They haven’t and our fans will understand and they who don’t aren’t real fans!”
“Do you really think that it’s that easy? I’ve met your fans before and to call them crazy is an understatement, I hate getting attention and being with you will get my more attention than I want. I’m sorry Niall but it’s too much for me to melt right away”
“I understand that but please give it some time and try to understand, please don’t give up on us yet, give me a chance” His eyes were all shiny and he looked really hurt and I know that I would hurt him anymore by saying this but I had to both for his and for my account.
“Niall there is no us and there will never be any us, I’m sorry” It felt like a stab in the heart saying that and it made me cry even more. He got up and walked over to the kitchen counter and leaned on it and said.
“I’m not giving up you know that right?”
“I’m calling my dad and telling him to pick me up” I said and took my phone up to dial the number, he answered in seconds and I just told him to pick me up and that I didn’t want any questions.
“So you’re running away?” I gave him an angry look
“I’m not running away” I mumbled. I got up from my chair and walked towards the hall but he stopped me and made me turn around to face him.

“Then explain to me what you’re doing now?” I shook his hand of me and turned around not answering him. Because honestly I had no answer on that question.
“You don’t have an answer huh? Thought so, but sure if you’re too afraid to face the problem and give me a chance then fine leave then” I growled, he knew exactly how to piss me off. I picked up my phone and called my dad again and told him that he didn’t need to come he got a bit surprised and confused but accepted it, I’m staying. And when I turned to Niall he had a hard time not laughing.
“You’re still not forgiven” I said shortly. He was just about to say something but we heard his mum walk up to the door and open it.
“Hello?” She said in a questioning tone.
“We’re in here” Niall said shortly, he was clearly annoyed that we got interrupted but I couldn’t be happier. She walked in to the kitchen and came and gave me a hug, a little bit surprised I hugged her back.
“It’s so fun to see you again Carly!” I have to admit he had a really sweet mum.
“It’s fun to be back here!” I was fun to be back here until I found out that Niall is a celebrity, it sounded so strange. Niall cleared his throat and got our attention. I had a feeling that I knew what he was going to say so I shook my head at him behind his mum back but he didn’t care.
“I told Carly about me and the boys mum” She turned around and looked worryingly at my face, I think she saw that I had cried.
“I just want to say that I’m so glad that Niall have met you, I understand if you’re mad but please try to forgive him and understand” Why did he put me in this situation.
“I know it’s just a bit hard to melt” I said and swallowed.
“I can understand that, but think before you do something you might regret” she walked over to Niall and the turned around again and continued “Are you two hungry?” Niall looked at me and I shook my head.
“No we ate before, Carly made pasta!” He smiled and walked over to me.
“We’re going upstairs mum” He said and took my hand to lead me out of the kitchen and up to his room again.  

“Okay tell me about the band, the boys, how it all started. I want to know everything” He smiled at my interest and for the rest of the night he told me everything, how they applied on their one but got put together as a band and the release of their first single and then he told me about his band mates. I could see that he cared about them a lot and the seemed to be pretty nice guys, and i knew now that what I said to Alexis about them before I left London wasn’t true. We stayed up late and I asked him tons of different questions and he answered all of them happily. Soon I could barely keep my eyes open and Niall noticed that.
“Do you want to sleep in here or I the guest room?”
“After that freaking movie I’m definitely sleeping in here” I said with a smile. He smiled and walked out of the room and came back with an extra bed. He pulled it out on the floor and then went to get the sheets, I was just about to stand up and help him but he stopped me.
“Sit, I can handle this. And I’m taking the extra bed; you can sleep in my bed since it’s more comfortable” He was such a gentleman but I refused to steal his bed from him.
“I’m not going to steal you bed from you, I can sleep in the extra bed”
“Forget it, this is not negotiable” He said and winked at me. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and change to my pajamas. A black lace nightdress, of course my dad putted that one down for me. I bet he took what was on the top, if I got to choose I would have chosen something more casual. When I walked into his room and he noticed me he just stood there looking at me and biting his lips.
“Say one word and I will kill you” I said to him, he just laughed and walked pass me to the bathroom, I crawled down under the blanket and minutes later he was back. He walked over to me and leaned forward and kissed me on my cheek and said.
“Goodnight sweetie and I have to say that you look very sexy in that nightwear”   

When the movie had ended we just laid there both quiet until he broke the silence.
“I told you I would protect you didn’t I?” I smiled.
“I know, and here I am still alive”
“So why don’t you trust me then?”  I had to think a while before I answered.
“Ever since I was little I have learned not to trust people, trusting someone always leaves you hurt in the end.”
“Is it because of your dad you’re so afraid to trust?” Even though we talked about pretty sensitive things for me it didn’t felt as hard as I thought it would be. He took my hand in his and I realized that he asked because he cared, not only out of curiosity.   
“I don’t know maybe, but it’s not just my dad that has let me down it’s everyone around me and I think that is what made me put this wall around me, if I don’t trust and don’t care then I don’t get hurt.”
“You do realize how sad that sounds huh? Just because people have let you down before doesn’t mean that I’m going to do the same.”
“What makes you any more different than everyone else?” he had to think a while before he answered.
“I care about you for real, that’s what makes me different.” I wanted to believe him but I couldn’t, but he is right, he’s different than everyone else he is better than everyone else; he is too good for me.

“Are you hungry? Maybe we should get down and make something to eat?” I’m glad that he changed the subject right there because I didn’t know what to say anymore and I were also scared of saying too much.
“Yes sure but only if you’re hungry too because otherwise I can wait” We raised up from the bed and he laughed and said.
“There’s one thing you must learn about me, I’m always hungry!” I laughed at him and we got down to the kitchen. He walked over to the refrigerator and then just stood there looking into it as I sat down on one of the chairs.
“Are you waiting for the food to jump out all done from there or what?”
“Ha-ha very funny! It’s just that I’m not very good at this.” I jumped over to him and he took one step aside so I could see into it.
“We can make something simple as pasta carbonara if you have all the ingredients?”
“Great idea! Say what you need to make it and I will help you!” I said all the ingredients and he walked around and got them for me. Then I told him to sit down and let me do the food. He protested a bit but gave up at least and sat down on the chair I sat on before, looking at every single step I took.
 “What?” I said after a while. He shook his head as he had been in some trans.
“Is it done soon?” I laughed at him.
“Patience, it’s done when it’s done.” He rolled his eyes and went up from the chair to stand next to me instead.
“Just because you’re staring at it don’t make it finished faster you know?” he just shook his head and took down two plates, glasses and four cutleries and laid them on the table. I checked the pasta and saw that it was done and I guess Niall saw that too because he came over to the stove, took the stove and sat it on the table.

“You’re a good chef” He said when we were done and had dished all the kitchen tools we had used.
“Thank you” I said and we both sat down again. I looked at the clock and realized I should have called Alexi thirty minutes ago.
“Shit!” I said out loud and took u my phone. Niall looked confused at me.
“I was supposed to call Alexi thirty minutes ago” He looked even more confused. “My best friend in London” I filled in and dialed the number. Seconds later she answered, I bet she had been sitting there next to her phone waiting.
“Don’t worry I’m not mad” was the first thing she said. She told me everything I had missed in London and then asked if I couldn’t log on to my computer instead.
“I’m not home at the moment and I will not be home until tomorrow.” Niall smiled when I said that.
“Where are you then?”
“At a friend’s place” I said hoping for no detail questions. But she saw through me.
“What’s this friends name then?” I swallowed, crap.
“Niall” I said and Niall looked up at me listening to what we were saying.
“Carly! Tell me everything right now!” I sighed.
“Alexis please”
“Forget it you’re not getting away with this, but wait what was his name again?”
“Niall?” I said once again.
“Full name?” What was she going with this? Did it even matter?
“Niall Horan?” Niall looked questioning at me and Alexis started to scream in the phone.
“Hand him the phone right away!” Why did everyone wanted to talk with Niall instead of me, am I that boring? Anyway I handed him the phone and i could hear Alexis scream when he got the phone. He laughed and they talked for a while, now it was my turn to look questioning at him. He smiled the whole time but at one point he lost that smile and instead looked worried and just said.
“No I haven’t done that yet, I’m afraid of what she might think.”

When they were done talking and I got the phone back I tried to ask Alexis what the hell was going on but she didn’t say anything. After I had hung up I looked at Niall waiting for him to start talking. But he was just quiet and avoided my gaze. I was starting to get a little bit pissed and said.
“So are you going to tell me what the hell is going on?”
“If you promise to not be mad at me and let me explain everything before you judge me.” What? This didn’t sound good but fine.
“I promise”
“You know how you said you have a hard time trusting people? Well I have that problem too but in another way. It’s har for me to know who really wants to be with me for the right reasons that’s why I didn’t tell you before. And since you didn’t know it I wanted to get to know you a bit first.”
“I don’t understand?” He swallowed.
“I’m a part of Britain’s biggest boy band called One Direction.” No fucking way, what are the odds?

Just when he had said that we got interrupted by the ringtone of his phone. He looked at the display and said.
“Sorry, I have to take this call.” I gave him a smile in return and then he answered the phone with happy “hay”. I just sat there and listen to what he said and tried to hear what the person on the other line were saying but I couldn’t hear so instead I tried to figure out what he could have said out of Niall’s answers. They talked for a while and then he mentioned me and I quickly looked questioning at him and he gave me a smile and said.
“She’s really beautiful and yes you should be jealous.” And I didn’t hear what the other person answered but Niall started to blush and angrily said.
“Shut up, it’s none of your business!” Later when he had hung up he said.

“Sorry, it was one of my best mates Harry, he told me to say hello to you from him.”
“Okay! Tell him I said hi back or something I guess?”
“So what do you want to do now?” 
“I still want you to tell me more about yourself!” He sighed and bit his lip.    
“I promise I will tell you later, not today please” I wondered why he didn’t wanted to tell me, but I can’t force him so I just nodded.
“Do you maybe want to watch a movie?”
“I would love to! But only if it’s not a horror movie!” He got that mischievous look again.
“Why? Are you scared?” I hit him lightly on his arm.
“What if I actually am?” I said quietly because I hated to admit it.
“But sweetie you don’t have to be, I’m here to protect you no matter what. Thought I told you that before?” Was he actually flirting with me or just joking? I would bet on the last one even though I hoped on the first.     
“But I will not be able to sleep tonight if we watch a horror.”
“Why not?”
“I told you before, I am afraid! I get paranoid when I’m alone if I watch horror movies.“ He laughed and I realized how stupid that sounded and started to laugh with him but then he got serious again and said.
“But if you sleep here you will not be alone?” I looked surprised at him, sleep here?
“Like my dad would allow that.” I said avoiding a directly answer.
“How do you know if you haven’t asked?”
“I don’t, I’m just guessing.” He took his phone up and handed it over to me.
“Call him and ask” I looked strangely at him, I thought he was joking? Does he really want me to sleep here?
“But I don’t have any stuffs” He sighed and smiled at me.
“That’s easy fixed; just tell your dad what to pack and my mum will pick it up before she comes home” He really had solutions on everything. I felt the butterflies in my stomach come back when I thought about it.
“Are you really sure you want me to sleep here?” I said a bit uncertain.
“Why wouldn’t I want to? Just call your dad now!” He said and literally pressed the phone in my hand. I dialed the number and bit my lip nervously waiting for him to answer.

“Hello?”
“Hello dad, it’s me”
“Oh hi Carly! What’s going on?”
“Um I was just going to ask if I maybe could sleep over here?”
“Can you hand the phone to Niall please?” I’m screwed I thought, but I handed the phone over to Niall and he happily took it.
“Hello?” I couldn’t hear what dad was saying to him but Niall just answered yes to everything and when I looked questioning at him he just smiled at me and winked. Could he at least give me a clue of what my dad was saying? But shortly after he hung up, smiled big and said.
“You’re sleeping here tonight” I did not expect that!
“Did he say yes?”
“Of course, I just promised him I would take care of you and that I wouldn’t do anything stupid”
“Do you notice what affect you have on people?” I was still in chock that he actually had approved it.
“And that is supposed to come from you? Do you know what affect you have on people?” Like that’s true!
“I don’t have any special affect on people; if I have it’s surely not a positive one.” I said and laughed sarcastically.
He putted his hand on my cheek and I looked up at him, that made my heart jump a beat and then speed up.
“You affect me in a way no one has ever done before” I started to blush but I couldn’t break eye contact, I was stuck in his beautiful blue eyes. And if what he said was true it couldn’t be compared on how he affected me.
“I don’t understand” I stuttered. He took the hand he had on my cheek and putted it on his chest where his heart was and I could feel that his heart was beating nearly as fast as mine did. And that scared me, I did not know anything about this guy but on the same time it felt like we had known each other for so long. And I was scared of where my feelings were going, I was not supposed to feel like this. I took away my hand and said.
“What happened to the movie?” He said something very quiet to himself and it sounded like he said so insecure. He stood up and walked over to the TV.

“It’s coming right away! Do you mind if we watch it in here or do you want to watch it down in the living room?”
“We can watch it here, and I’ve warned you that I’m going to be scared so be prepared.”He just laughed at me. He started the movie, and turned off the lights then he walked back to the bed and sat down and leaned against the wall.
“Come here” He said and patted on the place next to him so I did as he said and sat down next to him. The movie he had picked was called ‘Unborn’ and just a few minutes after the movie had started I was already scared and jumped a little bit closer to him. After ten minutes I nearly sat in his lap, he took his arm around me and moved me so I leaned against him and not the wall anymore. Through the rest of the movie he whispered different things in my ear when I got scared that calmed me down. He told me that he was happy that he had met me and how beautiful I was, I was lucky he couldn’t see me blushing. And he even told me a little bit about himself, about his family and school, I also got to know that he loved to sing and play guitar. After a while I had a hard time concentrating on the movie, my mind and heart only concentrated on him.
Niall James Horan what have you done to me?

I woke up by the signal of my ringtone from my phone and slowly opened my eyes thinking who the hell had the gut to wake me up this early. I searched for it under my pillow where I always kept it during the night and looked at the display and saw that it was Niall, my brain slowly started to re connect of what really happened yesterday and I answered with a tired “Hello?”
“Hay!” He said happily.
“What time is it?” I asked and I heard him laughing at me.
“You’re still in bed aren’t you?”
“How did you know?”
“Not hard to guess babe, you do know that you’re supposed to be here in about 1 hour right?” Shit I thought to myself and jumped up from the bed and quickly said to Niall.
“Up now, be there in an hour! Se u then bye!” Once again I heard him laughing at me and I growled quietly.
“Great! Se you soon babe!” He said just before I hung up and with a big smile I jumped because of my foot into the shower. When I got out I got dressed, fixed my hair and makeup and jumped down the stairs to my dad.
“Dad can you drive me to Niall please?” He looked a little bit confused at me but then answered
“Sure but don’t you need to eat breakfast first?”
“No I’m okay!” I said, I wanted him to hurry up because I really wanted to see Niall now!
“Okay let’s go then!” We got out and he helped me to get in the car. I noticed that the feeling in the car had changed since yesterday, it wasn’t as pressed anymore it was more of a comfortable silent now. I looked out the window the whole way to Niall and tried to memorize and remember the way, it can be good to know it just in case.

Just when my dad stopped outside his house Niall came out and ran up to my door to help me out, he was such a gentleman, even though that it bothered me that I had to get help to get out from the car. I liked better to take care of myself. He opened my door and took my hand to help me keep my balance but it didn’t help, when I was almost out I stumbled and fell right in his arms, way to go Carly!
“Its okay I got you, I won’t let you hurt yourself again!” He said and smiled. I felt how my cheeks turned all red and heard my dad laugh in the car before he said.
“Alright then I know you will take care of her, have fun and call me later Carly when you want to come home, bye!” And then drove away. I straightened up and looked down avoiding his gaze.
“Don’t look away, you’re beautiful when you’re blushing and it’s nothing to be ashamed of!” he said and putted one finger under my chin and lifted my head up so I looked directly into his eyes. Once again he overwhelmed me and I felt my heart speed up and blushed even more. What was he doing to me? It was not okay for me to fall for him; I wasn’t good enough for him. I can be his friend nothing more and i should be happy with just that I told myself over and over again. I had to look away once again scared of what he might see in my eyes, afraid to expose myself. He shook his head and said.
“Guess we’ll have to work on that then, shall we go inside?” I just smiled at him and nodded and seconds later he had lift me up starting to carry me inside.
“You did not just do that! I thought I made it clear that yesterday was a onetime experience!” I said and growled quietly.
“Apparently I did not care about that! You just have to stand the thought that I’m going to be very protective of you for a while now since you’re not capable of doing it yourself.” He knew he had it a sore spot and waited for my response with a big smile but I just gave him a deadly look and his smile became even bigger and that teased me a lot so I had to bite my lip to not say anything that I would regret later.

We got inside and he carefully putted me down.
“I can handle myself you know, I don’t need you carrying me around.”
“I can see that” he said and looked accusatory at my foot.
“Just shut up now Niall.” I said and winked at him, showing that he fight was over. I looked around waiting for his mum to come out from the kitchen or something bit it was all quiet in the house.
“Where are your mum by the way?”
“Oh she’s at work; she’ll be home later tonight!” He smiled first but then he got something mischievous in his eyes and continued “you’re not afraid to be alone with me right?” Oh god he made me blush again.
“Um no of course not!” He smiled back and we got up to his room, he helped me up the stairs of course. His room was not small but not very big either it was just the right size, I went over to his bed and sat down.
“You didn’t tell me much about yourself yesterday” I said and thought back to when we sat in the kitchen and he asked me tons of questions about my life, now it was my turn.   
“There is not much exciting to know about me.” He said and avoided my gaze.
“Like there is so much more exciting to know about me?” I said and raised one eyebrow.
“There’s so much more to know about you, you surprise me all the time.” I didn’t really understand what he meant but kept pushing him to tell me more.
“Hey, you got to ask me tons of questions yesterday now it’s my turn, tell me about yourself!” He sighed and went to sit down next to me. He looked down at the bed and then with something uncertain in his eyes he said.
“Do you really want to know everything?”

Chapter 5 Butterflies Part 1! 

I thought my dad would be mad at me for making him worried and ground me or something; I definitely know my mum would have done that. But he actually didn’t even got mad; he was just worried about me. I think he believes that this will make my hate Ireland even more but he can’t be more wrong. Meeting Niall made Ireland a whole lot better, I don’t know if he was honest about wanting to meet me again but if people on Ireland are just a little bit like him then I think I’m going to like Ireland believe it or not.

When we got home I said goodnight to my dad and ran straight up to my room turned on my computer and then waited for Alexis to log in. I took my phone up and was just going to text her when I got a text from an unknown number

Hi Carly!  
Just wanted to make sure you’re okay, did your dad got very mad at u?
And I’m also wondering if u maybe wants to do something tomorrow?
xx Niall

I couldn’t help but smile, I added his number as a contact and then quickly answered.

Hi Niall!
haha believe it or not he was just happy that I was okay, he wasn’t mad at all!  
Sure I would love too! Your place? Time?
xx Carly

I heard a noise from my computer and saw that Alexi was calling me on Skype so I answered. Just hearing her voice made my cry again, I missed her so much already! I told her everything about Ireland but I kept the part about Niall out, I don’t know why but I wanted to wait before I tell her about him. We talked for one hour then she had to go but we promised to talk every evening from now! When she had logged out I turned off my computer and got ready for bed but checked my phone first and saw that Niall had answered.

Great! Was worried I got you in to problems, my place 1 pm then?
xx Niall

I’ll be there!
Good night, se u tomorrow!
xx Carly

Just a couple of minutes later I got an answer again.

Can’t wait to see u again
good night sweetie!
xoxo Niall

Those few words got the butterflies back in my stomach and I feel asleep with a big smile that night.

I'm so sorry! I promise I'm going to get better at updating but right now i'm working on my english essay and writing on that and I have to get that done before I can finish the new chapter. But I will try to get it done tomorrow!

And once again thanks for the lovely comments it makes me wanna finish the chapter faster for you!
xoxo

I recognized his name but from where? Silly me, I’ve never meet him before so how could I?
“I’m Carly, Carly Wilson.” I answered with a smile. He looked strangely at me, like he waited for me to say something more.
“What?” I asked starting to wonder if there was anything wrong with what I said or something. He looked away and shook his head.
“Oh no nothing” he answered and I could sense a smile on his lips.
“You should enjoy carrying me now because this is the first and last time you will ever do It.”
“My moment of victory huh?” he said laughing “And you shouldn’t be so sure of that, you never know what accidents you will get yourself into going around in that speed.” If looks could kill he would be dead by now. But I didn’t have time to respond because we were right outside his house and his mum came running out from the house with the worried mum look. I laughed to myself, every moms specialty is the worried look, seems like every mom can do it.
“Niall what happened and who is this?” Niall sighed and I laughed at him.
“Mum calm down, this is Carly a little accident happened” he said and smiled at me. “I think she has broken her foot.” If his mum didn’t panic before she definitely did now. Poor woman, her son comes home with an unknown teenage girl and tells her she has broken her foot, that doesn’t happen every day I can understand her panic.
“Calm down! We have to take her to the hospital Niall!” I swallowed; I would do anything to avoid the hospital.
“No it’s okay; please I really don’t need to go to the hospital. It’s probably just a sprain no need to worry!” Judging by the look they gave me they didn’t believe me.
“Okay bring her inside, you can at least let me take a look at it okay?” she was really nice so I couldn’t say no and I couldn’t walk home so I had no choice.
“Okay then Mrs. Horan” I said and sighed a little bit.
“That’s good sweetie and you can call me Maura.”

We went in and Niall carried me o the kitchen and then carefully put me down on a chair. His mum came in with a bandage and sat down in front of me. She took of my shoe; my foot was really swollen and went in a blue and green color. I groaned when I saw it. His mum looked up at me.
“No hospital please?” I begged. Niall took a chair and sat down next to me.
“Why are you so afraid of the hospital?” He said.
“I’m not afraid I just don’t like it.” Niall looked at me and then he started to laugh.
“What?” I said and couldn’t help but smile too.

We looked at each other still smiling for a moment and then I looked away blushing. I saw that his mum looked at us and smiled too, wow awkward moment.
“Since we’re not allowed to take you to the hospital you can at least let me do s much as I can for you and wrap a bandage around your foot.” I smiled at her and nodded and she started working with the bandage.
“So are you going to tell me how this happened?”
“It was my fault!” Niall and I said exactly at the same time and burst out into laugh.
“No mum I was actually my fault, I didn’t look where I was going and went out right in front of her when she came in full speed with her skateboard.”
“Liar.” I said and they both looked. “It was my fault, I shouldn’t have gone so fast and I should definitely pay more attention to where I was going.” Niall looked at me and shook his head.
“She’s lying mum don’t listen to her.”
“I’m not lying! And I’m not going to let you take the blame for something that was my own fault!” He looked into my eyes and put his hand on my leg and said.
“Don’t worry babe, I met you so it wasn’t that bad after all?” And once again he made me blush and I had to break the eye contact. What was this guy doing with me?
“Except for your foot.” He added with a smile.

I looked down at my foot and saw that Maura was done.
“Done! But don’t think that you can jump around or skate in the next weeks, you need to rest. I bet Niall will be glad to give you some company while you’re getting better” she said with a smile.
“Thank you so much, and it would be fun if he wanted to do that.” I said and smiled at Niall, he smiled back and answered.
“I would love to spend some more time with you.”
 
“But Carly, where do you live? Your parents must be worried by now?”
“I live with my dad at uhm, I actually don’t know the address yet. I actually just moved here today from London.” They both looked surprised at me. “But I can call my dad so he can come and pick me up.” I took my phone up and dialed dads number, he answered almost directly. I told him the situation and where I was and he promised to come and pick me up. While we waited Niall asked me about London and basically pretty much about my life. I told him about Alexi, my mum and I don’t know why I did it but I told him about the situation with my dad too, about what happened and how I felt.  I have never o told anyone about it besides Alexi, and I think I opened up more to Niall than I’ve ever done to Alexi, it was something with him that made me feel comfortable but in another way so insecure.
