PROLOGUE
"Niall?" Someone asks me, and I look up, frowning.
"What?" I ask, seeing that everyone was staring at me. I shift a bit in my seat, uncomfortable. There's an awkward silence, and it's obvious I missed something.
"Didn't you hear what Paul just said?" Liam asks rather awkwardly, and I chew on the inside of my cheek, slowly starting to blush as I shake my head. Harry laughs rather awkwardly, and I sit there, waiting for someone to tell me what the hell I just missed. I glance at Zayn, meeting his eyes. Finally, someone clears their throat, and my eyes flicker to Paul, sitting at the head of the table.
"Niall, your father is coming to visit." He says, and I realize why everyone was acting so awkwardly. My father and I had always had a rocky relationship, and I had shared a bit of what went on between us with the lads, but not a lot. I frown, nodding.
"Is that it?" I ask. I didn't really get why we were having a 'meeting' about it. I mean, I know that since we all live in one house, it has to be alright with all the lads if anyone visits, but is a meeting really necessary? Paul frowns slightly, running his fingers through his hair uncomfortably.
"Well, the lads just wanted to make sure you were ok-"
"I'm fine." I cut Paul off, standing up. "There's nothing wrong with my father coming to visit. Sure, we had a rocky relationship, but we've sorted things out." I say, my eyes flashing to Zayn again, and just the sight of him makes my heart ache. He looks so... concerned. I hesitate, needing some fresh air.
"Is that it then?" I ask, looking around. I force a smile, nodding. "Alright then, I'm going to go get some Nando's." I say, briskly walking past everyone, grabbing my car keys. I walk outside, and get into my car, taking a deep breath as I shut the door.
You're okay, you're okay.
