Angel's POV (One year later)
"Angel! Time to get up." I heard Niall yell for me. We were touring for the next two months, and I was exhausted after yesterday. We spent the whole day doing things together, as a father and daughter. We both couldn't believe it's been a whole year, since he adopted me. As for school, I was being homeschooled by the boys, and each one, would take turns helping me, if I needed it. I liked being homeschooled, especially by them.

"Angel, are you alive?" I heard Niall ask, outside my bunk.

I groaned to myself. "Yes, dad, I'm alive. Geez, I swear, you worry too much." I said the last part, mainly to myself.

He's been very protective, and worried about me, after, a man, who claimed to be my dad, showed up one day, and hurt me. But, I guess, I can't blame him. At least he does love me.

"I'm just making sure, since I haven't heard from you, yet." He said, a bit hurt.

"I know, I'm sorry dad. I'm just tired. I didn't mean to sound upset."

"It's ok baby, why don't you come eat breakfast. I made you waffles." He said, then I heard him walk away. I got out of my bunk, and went to eat. I sat down at their round table in the bus, and Niall gave me a plate of waffles.

As I was eating, Niall started asking me a random question.

"Hey Angel, as you know, it's been a year since I adopted you. Which means, your birthday is coming up soon. What do you want for your birthday?" He asked, a bit nervous.

"I don't know, I have everything I want. I have a loving dad, and four godfathers, and a cat. So, I'm good. If anything, I want to go out for pizza." I said, honestly. But, by now, he should know that, pizza would've been involved.

"I should've known." He said, to himself.

"Yeah, you should have." I said, a bit rude. I didn't mean to sound rude, but I was still getting over everything we did yesterday.

"Angel, what is up with you?" He asked, a bit worried.

"I'm really tired, ok? I just want to sleep right now. I'm exhausted from yesterday. So please, just leave me alone." I said, trying not to cry from exhaustion. He just sighed, but left me alone afterwards.

I finished eating, then went back to bed. I slept till two in the afternoon. When I got up, I went to shower for fifteen minutes. Then, as soon as I got dressed, I went to the front of the bus, and cuddled with Niall on the couch.

He was watching a movie, when I came out, and cuddled with him. He wrapped an arm around me, and rubbed my arm.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked.

"Yeah, I just needed to rest more. I'm sorry about this morning. I didn't mean to snap at you." I said, calmly.

"I know sweetheart, it's why I let you sleep more. I knew you were tired." He said, then he kissed my head. "I love you Angel."

"I love you too dad." After I said that, we were quiet for a while. I didn't mind the silence. In fact, I loved the silence between us. After what that man did to me a year ago, I still haven't been able to get over it. I get nightmares at night, and sometimes end up having an accident, when I wake up. I haven't told Niall about it, but I think he's caught on. Especially since I have been washing my bed sheets a lot.

Around 4, Niall had me get ready. They were performing tonight, and he wanted me to be ready, before they had to go in the arena. I got some clothes, and went to the bathroom to change. Once I was done, we went in the building. The other boys were already inside, waiting for us.
