After countless hours of late night walking, a thought popped into my head as I opened the door to the house I was supposed to call home, for the time being anyway. Why was Niall up so early? He texted me at four in the morning. I wanted to text him, I wanted to see his face again, I wanted to hear that perky little accent of his. You don’t even know him, my subconscious adds.

“Where were you young lady?” Tracy shouts from the living room with disappointment filling her eyes.

“I-I couldn’t sleep,” I tell her with an innocent look spreading across my face. My movements holt by the door, unable to move myself.

“Look I know you’re here for a short time,” five months is more than a ‘short time’ “but you can’t just do what you please, we are your guardians and we need to know where you are, at all times.” she finishes with a stern look on her face and her hands resting at her hips.

Tom walks through the door leading to the living room. Tracy stares me down, as I stay standing, frozen in place.

“Let the girl off the hook, it was her first night here and she’s been through hell,” I felt my chest tense up as he referred to Brett. “Here, take these,” His eyes gestured towards the four familiar pills on a napkin and a half empty glass of water resting on the coffee table. I timidly took the napkin from his hand a gulped all the pills down in one swallow.

I could feel the tension in the room swarming between Tom and Tracy. I didn’t want to intervene, so I back up out of the living room, up the stairs, and into my room.

“Alex!!!” I can barely comprehend the noise coming from the little girl before she wraps herself around my waste.

“Good.. uhh.. good morning Ashley,” I stutter, I was confused as to why she was so affectionate. I hate affection. I never should’ve hugged Niall like that, it wasn’t… I wasn’t thinking clearly.

“I knocked on your door this morning but you didn’t answer! I was worried,” she pouted.

“I’m sorry sweetie,” I bent down so our eyes were at the same level, “how about we play a game!” I always loved children, but sometimes they just annoy the hell out of me.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Ashley pranced around the upstairs hallway. I couldn’t help but smile at the young soul, I envied her. I wanted to live that carefree life that was cut short because my dickhead of a father.

“Do you have any games in mind?” her face lit up as she ran into her room. She came back seconds later with a box labeled ‘Candy Land’.

“Let’s play in my room!” she yelled and grabbed my arm, pulling me towards her princess themed room.

We played the game for, what felt like, hours. I lost almost every time, but she was happy and thats all that mattered, right? Soon enough Tracy steps into the room with a plate of tiny sandwiches and fruit. We gobbled up our lunch and I said goodbye to Ashley, retreating to my room.

I arrived in my room, I had nothing to do and no where to go. I pulled out my phone and texted my only friend, at least I thought he was my friend.

Me: Heyy

Not even seconds after I greeted him, he responds.

Nialler xx: Hey!! I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime? You don’t have to if you don’t want to…

His insecurity made my cheeks flush.

Me: I’d love to! Does tomorrow work?

Nialler xx: Oh.. are you available tonight? I’m a little busy tomorrow.

Me: Ya i’m available

Nialler xx: Great! pick you up at 6:30 :)

My stomach filled with wild butterflies, circling around in my abdomen. They day flew by, I ended up going on another walk around the neighborhood, then I just stayed inside and read. It was 5:45 and I decided to prepare for my first real date with Niall.

I looked at my closet, I had nothing to wear. I sifted through my whole wardrobe at least three times before settling with a plain white summer dress with a brown belt and matching sandals. Anxiety coursed throughout my body. My stomach fluttered as my phone vibrated on the bed.

Nialler xx: im here:)

I ran down the stairs faster than imaginable. I took a quick glance at myself in the mirror. My hair fell in loose waves and black lines circled my eyes. I hoped I was properly dressed, Niall never mentioned to me what we were doing.

I glanced over my shoulder before I exited the house, no one would’ve cared if I left anyway. I stepped out to the driveway and saw Niall dressed casually, leaning against his black Range Rover. I couldn’t help but smile as I walked towards him. He made me feel so.. bubbly. Must’ve been the Irish in him.

“You look gorgeous.” He blatantly checked me out, but I didn’t mind because I did the same to him.

“As do you,” I smiled at him and stepped into the passenger side of the vehicle. “So, what exactly are we doing anyway?” I asked him.

“You’ll see.” He gave me a cheeky grin, and I couldn’t help but blush. We drove in silence, but it wasn’t awkward or uncomfortable, it was… pleasant. I scanned his fist that clutched the gear shift. It was marked with red blotches across his knuckles. I didn’t think much of it, I just kept imagining where he was taking me.

“You like chinese?” he questioned.

I laughed slightly at his random break in silence. “Yeah, I’m not too picky.” I shot him a smile but he was too focused on the road to see. He kept getting faster, maybe we’re late for reservations or something, I thought. I just prayed we wouldn’t get caught by one of those idiotic speeding cameras.

He pulled the car into an empty lot, surrounded by lush foliage. He jumped out of the car and ran to the trunk to grab a basket and a beer stained picnic blanket.

“Hope you like star gazing,” he smiled and I tried to help carry something, but he refused with a smile
