Memories

Chapter 9

*Niall's POV*

I woke up the next day, all I could think of was my mom and Steph.

Tears fall from my face as I remember the funeral.

"Niall?" Harry said as all the boys walked in. I look up to see them with their luggage.

"Niall, we're heading to London now," Louis told me, I nodded slowly.

The boys took turns hugging me and headed out the door.

I waved goodbye and watched them get in their taxi from my window and then plopped down on my bed.

"Hey," My brother said entering my room and sitting down next to me.

"Hey," I let out softly.

He patted my head, "Good news, they're not selling the house to someone else, I decided to keep it, and maybe you'll eventually have it."

I look up and pull a forced smile. He gave me a weak smile and walked out my room.

"Mum! I made you some toast," I heard Stephanie say, I stand up and look out the window.

Her mom looked sad as she bit down on some toast. Her mom catches my sight and waves her hand motioning to come down.

I see Stephanie look up, we stared at eachother for the longest until she broke the stare.

I brush my teeth and fix my hair a bit and headed next door.

"Niall, honey!" She exclaimed, she pulled me in for a hug.

"How are you feeling Mrs. Regan," I asked letting go of her hug.

She sniffled, "I'm doing alright, I miss your mother already."

I nodded in agreement and sat down next to her.

"So, you know Stephanie here lives in New York now," She added.

"Oh really? I didn't know," I stated, I look up to see Stephanie come outside.

She was beautiful.

She had a fitted shirt with some shorts and her brown hair laid on her chest.

My gaze was interrupted with an angry face coming from Stephanie.

"It's true, she has her own place too, isn't it wonderful?" Ms. Regan asked Stephanie.

"Um, yeah. It's great, nice and roomy," She stated, sitting down next to her mom, glancing a few times at me.

*Stephanie's POV*

I was still angry at what Niall had said to me, but I had to brush it off.

"Maybe you should go with her over there!" My mom said with all smiles.

"No!" Niall and I said in unison, I gave him a hard look.

"Don't be silly, oh! Theres your dad, I'll go ask him!" My mom exclaimed, before I can say anything she was already there.

Niall looked at me, "This won't work out, my dad will say no anyways."

I chuckled, "Obviously, I wouldn't want to live with you, that would be hell," I shot at him.

I heard my mom squeal in excitement and she ran over here before Niall could say anything back at me.

"Pack your bags Niall, you're going to New York City!"

Our mouths dropped.

He looks at his father, "Listen to her, go get them now." He demanded.

Niall slowly got up and walked to his house, he looked back at me still in awe as I was also.
