Nobody Compares

Chapter 36- Ireland <3

"If I ever have to, I'll be here for you. That's all I ever want to do. Be here for you. 

If you ever ask, yes I do, I really do love you. Yes, I really do. 

If you ever wonder, how much I love you, just look to the sky,

You don't even have to ask me why, because you are my world,

And that's exactly why. And thats exactly how much, I

Love you." The words jumbled up together in my brain. I never made a song with the words, and I didn't even copy it off anyone. The world popped into my head. I leaned down and kissed my boyfriends ear. 

I kept petting the side of his head, brushing blonde and brown hair out of eyes. I kept doing that, but I put my head on the headrest. I focused my attention on the movie playing. It was a childrens movie, The Rugrats Go to Paris, but I still watched it. I always loved cartoony type movies. The Rugrats movie ended, and the Spongebob Squarepants movie started. I giggled all through it. 

"We are landing, please buckle your seat belts in." Niall didn't even move. 

"Niall...." He still didn't move. "Get up, babe." He let out a quiet snore. "Niall, we are landing. Don't you want to see your parents?" 

"Hmph." He just turned over. I leaned down to whisper in his ear.

"Niall, wake up for me?" He didn't do anything, and the attendants were checking the seat belts. "Niall! We're in Dublin!" He jumped up, banging our heads together. "Ow!" I clasped my hand to my forehead. I'd have a bruise, definetly. 

"Oh are you okay? Let me kiss it! I don't want you to be in pain, oh I'm so sorry! Piper, am I forgiven?" The boy killed my with questions. 

"Put your seatbelt on, I'll be fine." He quickly buckled himself in, and turned to me.

"Are you okay, Piper?" I nodded, but I belt major pain. I took my hand away from my forehead, and smiled at Niall.

"See I'm fine," I lied. He kissed my forehead, like when I kissed his on the back of his head. The attendant looked at us, and walked away. "I'm fine, Niall, really. Do you have a bump on your head? Did I hurt you?" I felt his forehead, but there weren't any bumps. I put my hand on the back of his head and felt around. No bump. "You're a lucky boy, Horan. You could've been really hurt."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to see my family!" He smiled, his big, blue eyes showing how excited he actually was. 

"Niall," I began to say, glumly. "What if they don't like me?" Everyone had those jitters. What if they don't like you?

"If I like you, they'll like you, and I love you! Piper, are you ridiculous? They will absolutley love you!" He grabbed my hand, holding it. "They will love you." He didn't let go of my hand until we had to get off. We walked through the tunnel as he told me about his family. "My dad is Bobby, my brother is Greg, my mum is Maura. My mum and dad are divorced. My dad will come over my mum's for dinner though." I nodded, listening and understanding. "We're going to West Meath, Ireland."

He took all four suitcases, two his, two mine. I carried our carry on's. We walked outside, him talking over his neighborhood. I listened the whole time. He listens to me, doesn't he?!

He hailed a taxi cab swiftly. He loaded it up with our luggage as I climbed it. Niall told the appoxamate adress, and the driver drove off. I silently watched the houses pass by, and soon Niall had to ask. "What's wrong? Is it your head?" I wanted to tell him no, it was just meeting his parents, but I couldn't. 

"Uh, yeah," I mumbled, looking into his eyes. I put my head on his shoulder, and just thought, if Niall didn't like me back, I'd be dead right now. He saved my life, literally. I pulled my phone out and clicked text Gemma and Harry at the same time.

To Gemma and Harry: Niall and I just landed in Dublin, heading to West Meath now! Xx

I looked up to Niall to see he was looking out the window. I looked back out my window just as we passed a 'Welcome to West Meath Ireland!' sign.

I closed my eyes just as Niall whispered, "We're here, princess. I can get you ice now." I nodded, and out of the car. We were in front of some red townhouses. They were huge, though. Niall grabbed the four suitcases, and scolded me when I tried to carry mine. "No! I'm the man, I'll carry them." He took the carry on's and put them on top of the luggage. He began rolling the luggage in front of me as the cab drove away. 

Niall got to the big blue door, and knocked quietly. "One second!" An Irish woman's voice rung out through the house. Foot steps hit the floor, and soon the door swung open to reveal a blonde haired woman. "Niall!" She hugged Niall, and turned to me. "You must be Piper. Niall has told me a lot about you." She hugged me, and I realized where Niall got his kindness from. 

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Horan." I nodded. Niall rolled the suitcases into the house. A wonderful aroma filled the house. Niall put the suitcases by the stairs, turning to me when he was finished.

"This is my mum, mum this is my girlfriend Piper." Niall put his hand around my back, and his hand on my waist pulling him close. 

"You are very beautiful Piper. How old are you?" 

"I just turned 21 a few days ago, Ms. Horan. Your hair looks very beautiful like that, by the way." 

"Oh, you're too sweet. Call me Maura though! Anyway you two can go up to Niall's room. You don't have THAT long for anything intimate..."

"Mum," Niall groaned.

"Just saying!" I smiled at his mother's innocence. "I can make you a lot more embaressed. Piper, did you know that when Niall was 9-"

"MUM!" Niall turned a deep red, and began stomping up the stairs like a drama teen.

"I'm sorry, Maura, I'd love to hear the story but I suppose Niall doesn't want me to hear it." She laughed a Horan laugh. You could tell they were related.

"No problem. You go get him, girl." I smiled and followed Niall up the stairs. I pressed the door open to see Niall standing in his room. When I pressed my hands to the door I heard Maura whisper, "Always knew he'd get all those pretty girlfriends."

"Hey." I put my hand on his shoulder and turned him around. 

"Hi," Niall murmured blankly. "She didn't tell you - did she?" 

"I didn't let her since you didn't want me too." He smiled. He sat on the bed, pulling me next to him. He flung his legs over the edge and laid down. He pulled me down, so we were laying down together. I put my head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. It calmed me down. We laid there for a few minutes, just listening to each others heartbeats.
