My Best Daddy

1: heartless misery

"I'm so sorry for what had happened to your parents, Kate." John Stadford, my best friend, said it in a rush. It makes me repeats of what happened last night. Again.

*flashback starts*

It was 8p.m. that i'm going to Alice's house along with John. We were just going on a chit chat or whatsoever doing nonsense stuff.

Me, John, Alice and Samantha. I know it sounds hilarious that John was the only guy there, but he says he prefer hanging out with us because we're "psycho peeps".

Then it past 10oclock and i got a call from my neighbor and she said my parent's died. Due to the fire explosion. When i heard this, i just stared and i don't really know what to do.

I told them and they brought me home. And yes. My house is on fire. Big one. And my mum and dad bodies got burned inside. Which means there's nothing left. All those precious memories were gone.

*flashback ends*

And i cry hard. I can't even sleep well last night. John lend me his room to sleep. I can't thank him much for that.

"That's okay. Don't have to say it again." I try to hide what i wanted to say.

"I know you're not, Kate. Who loves the feeling of being left?" Okay. John spoke that too honest.

"Yeah. But i'm better than last night."

"I guess i won't go to school for some time." I continue.

"You know what? I know a friend."

"Yeah, so?"

"His cousins will be willing to adopt you, Kate." John suddenly smiled.

"What?! Are you crazy?!"

"No. The truth is, he's a member of a boy band and that means he is rich. He can feed you, guard you and help with your school fees and stuffs."

"Hey! I'm 17 and i don't need someone to feed me! I can find my own way!"

"Really? You know you can't stay in my house forever. And you haven't even graduate." So that's his point.

"Fine. I'll go back to my house. If that's what you want." I roll my eyes.

"How? Your house is completely turn to ashes. Nothing's left."

"I don't know, John, but i do know you don't want me to stay at your house for any long. So i'll go now."

"Hey. That's not what i mean. I mean, he's capable of taking care of you. So why not?"

"What's his name?"

"Niall Horan. He's an irish guy." His name sounds familiar actually. Where did i hear that?

"What if he refused?"

"He won't. He's not that kind of person."

"How do you know?" He says that as if he knows him so much.

"Well, i just knew." He winked. Odd.

He continued. "I'll make an appointment between you two to meet and talk."

"Okay." I'm going to have a meet and greet with a pop star.

________

"Morning John." I said as i went to the dining room. He was eating pie.

"Morning Kate. How's your sleep?"

"Good. Getting better." I scanned the room and i asked him, "Where's aunt Joe?"

"Mum is probably still having her sleep."

We talked and gossips, just like friends would do.

"I should probably be going to school now, Kate. Is it alright that you'll be here alone?" He look concerned.
