Nobody Compares

Chapter 44-None Of Them Feel This Way

"Aw, we're so cute together!" I smiled, and held the posters in one hand. When we got to the room, I quickly put the posters away in my suitcase. I slid the suitcase back under the loveseat in front of our bed. I looked down at the fans who screamed whenever Niall or I came to the window. I waved at the girls down there. There were only about 10 girls, and I had about 11 posters. 

"Sign these," I ordered, thowing the magazines of us or him or the boys in his face. He nodded, autographing each one. I autographed the ones I was in, and soon, almost every single poster was signed. I put my phone in my pocket, making sure to check it when I got in the car. I rolled the magazine up and put it in my oversized purse. I pulled a chair to the window and waited for Maura. We had a view of all Ireland, but I could see the parking lot below. All the fans were there. Soon a blue van drove up behind the screaming girls. I didn't bother to get security. 

I kissed Niall's cheek and left, bolting down to the elevator. I got to the doors and took a deep breath. The doors glided open, and the girls went crazy. "Who likes Taylor Swift?" A few girls raised their hands, but the one up front was closest. I handed her a poster of Taylor Swift. I did that until every girl had a poster, and they backed away. It was like feeding a mean dog. Give him food, he backs up. 

"Excuse me?" I looked down to see a little girl with her bigger brother behind her. She held the One Direction poster with Niall's signature. "Thank you." She hid behind her brother who looked about 15.

"I'm sorry, she's really shy. It's her birthday today, and she doesn't get many presents. We live in an orphanage. But anyway, thank you for the present." They turned to leave but I stopped them.

"Do you have a twitter?" He nodded. "What's your name?" He told me his name, so I whipped my phone out, copying it down. "Come here, would you like a picture with me?" The little girl nodded, as I crouched on my knees. She hugged the poster and smiled. I took the picture and uploaded it to Twitter, tagging her brother. PiperClark: just met this amazing little girl outside my hotel. @herbrotherstwittername.

Soon I had thousands of retweets and favorites. I saw that Niall retweeted it. I smiled and looked up at the highest window. I could barely make out Niall standing there. I waved, and he waved back. I blew a kiss, and ran off the the blue van. "Oh, Maura, I am so sorry. I had to give out autographs, and pictures." I climbed into the passenger seat, as she reved up the engine. 

"It's perfectly fine sweety. I know how it is.  I mean I do have a world famous son! Even I get asked for pictures and autographs." She drove through the crowd forming, as I buckled myself in. "So I hear you're going to a wedding, how nice. Bobby's sisters, right?" I nodded. "I'm going, too. Me and Rachel, his sister, used to be best friends in high school. That's how I was introduced to Bobby. Oh, those were the days. I wasn't a mother, nor married, and I wasn't for sure getting ready to be a grandmum! Oh!" She gasped at the thought.

"Greg's having a baby?" I asked curiously. "Er, Holly is?" She didn't deserve Niall. For what she did. Niall must've loved her, but she cheated on him with his brother! How corny is that? Niall is way better than that. Niall deserves better than that. He deserves better than me.

"No, I meant you two!" I began wondering why everyone thought I was pregnant. I'm not. I'm 100% sure I'm not. "Niall talks about you all the time, and I do mean all the time. And you guys are in one hotel together! I might be older enough for the senior breakfast, but I certainly remember that. I remember when I'd go to visit his parents. We'd stay at a hotel and tell them we weren't doing anything, but we were." She laughed as she pulled into a parking lot. "Thats how Greg was made." 

I felt like I was in sex ed. I didn't need to know everything. I didn't need to know anything from him, frankly. "Wow, oh are we here?" I asked a little to quickly. 

"Yeah, we're here. There are fancy dresses, and regular dresses. I need a dress for the wedding."

"Me too," I nodded in unison. We both went to fancy dresses first. They were beautiful dresses, breath taking actually. Even though they were all beautiful, two were special. One of the two was a long, light purple gown. It had a blue sash, but it was perfect. I pulled my size off the shelf, and went to look at the other one that caught my eye. It was short, but pretty. It was a nice hot pink color, and had sparkles all over it. I picked out my size, and decided I was ready. Ahead of me I saw Maura was paying for her stuff. She grabbed the bag and stepped aside. i placed my two garments up on the counter, and he bagged it. I paid, and we were off. 

"Are you hungry, darling?" 

"A little," I answered truthfully. 

"Have you ever eaten here?" I looked at the brightly colored sign. I shook my head. She pulled through the drive through. I ordered one small cheeseburger and fries. As a drink I got a Mountain Dew. It was my favorite soda. When I got the food I realized how large it was. My eyes bugged out of my sockets. I quickly pulled out my phone, and checked my messages. I forgotten about that. I had 22 missed texts. 5 missed calls. 

Jess: definetly! Your parents miss you. Your mum always plays your music. You should contact them sometime. (Adress inserted here) thats their adress, write them a letter or something. I have got to go, text you later?

My parents... ? My mum is dead. She's been dead for almost 10 years. 

Eleanor: Remember, stay safe! Or not. Whichever. I call godmum!Xx

Dad: I'm keeping it on your bed.

Harry: you know you are. Don't lie. 

And the missed calls, and rest of the texts were, of course, from Niall. 

To Jess: My mum is dead & had been dead for years. 10 years. Are you okay? Xx

To Eleanor: -_- I'm not pregnant, and if we were ... you know ... I'd be safe. Seriously though. Xx

To Dad: Thanks, love you! Xx

To Harry: just shut up .-. I'm a Clark,, not a style. Haha, get it? Xx

To Niall: I'm with your mum, we're eating. Calm down, love you, okay? Xx

Niall: You're safe right? Be careful. 

To Niall: You're worse than Harry .-. Xx

Niall: Wah, I love you, kay? Tell my mum I said hello.

To Niall: yeah yeah yeah. Bye xoxox Xx

I shut my phone off, and told Maura her son said hello. We talked for a while, but soon we were off on the road again. She dropped my off at the hotel, but hardly anyone was there. Tonight was the special dinner so I hurried to get up the stairs. I squeezed into the gown, and had Niall zip it up. While Niall was getting ready, I began to read the magazine. I flipped to the back, and there was the You Tweet It! sections.

@Twittername: if that article about Piper and Jake is true, I love her again.

@Twittername: Piper, you're my hero.

The same things were repeated. I felt angry at the people. About 3 weeks ago they were calling me a whore and a slut. Now that they knew I had no choice in dating Jake, they called me their hero. I'm not special. Just because I was hurt doesn't mean you have to say I'm your hero. I'm no different than anyone else.
