Life as Niall's Daughter

Family lunch

Angel's POV
The next day, we were getting ready to go back on tour. My mom decided to join us. Both Niall, and I, were very happy. Especially since things between them, seem to be going really good.

An hour later, we were getting on the bus. Niall had gotten his own bus, so the three of us could be alone. Liam wasn't too happy about that, but he couldn't say much, since it was Niall's choice.

I set up my bunk, then laid down for a bit. I was still tired, since we had to get up really early this morning. So, I took a nap for two hours, before someone woke me up.

"Angel, do you want anything to eat? Your mom and I are going to get some food, when we stop." I heard Niall say.

"Ask me, when we stop. I want to sleep." I said, annoyed. I heard him sigh, but he didn't say anything. He just walked away. I went back to sleep for another two hours. When I got up, the bus had stopped, and someone walked up to my bunk.

"Angel, we stopped at a gas station, that has subway, do you want anything?" Niall asked.

"Yes, but, I don't know what they have, since I've never been to subway before." I said.

"Well, get dressed, then meet us in the living room." He said, then he walked away. I jumped out of my bunk, got some clothes, and went to change. Once I was ready, I went to the living room.

"Ready?" He asked, with a slight smile.

"Yes." I said, then I grabbed his hand, and the three of us left the bus.

We walked in subway, and I took a look at the sign, to see what they had. I chose the meatball sandwich. Then, I was asked what bread I wanted, and toppings. This was all new to me. I got the flatbread, and added black olives, and cheese to it.

"You can get some chips, or a cookie if you want." Niall said, after he was done ordering what he wanted.

"Oh, ok." I looked at the chips, and cookies. But, couldn't decide what I wanted.

"Can I get both?" I asked, hoping he would say yes.

"Only one, Angel." He said, in a serious way. I sighed. This is hard.

"Fine, I guess I'll have some chips." I said, then I got some Cheetos, and went to sit down. A few minutes later, they came by the table and sat down next to me.

"Here's your sandwich." Niall said, as he handed it to me.

"Thanks dad." I said.

"You're welcome. What do you want to drink?"

"A sweet tea, please."

"Ok." He got up, and went to get me a drink.

"Are you ok, Angel?" My mom asked me, as soon as Niall walked away.

"Yeah, I just really wanted some chips and a cookie." I said, a bit upset.

"Sometimes, you can't have everything you want." She said.

"Yeah, I know, but I really wanted to get them both."

"Niall spoils you, doesn't he?" She asked, concerned.

"Sometimes." Before my mom could say anything, Niall came back with my drink.

"Here, I got you a sweet tea."

"Thanks Daddy. I love you."

"You're welcome, I love you too." He sat down next to my mom, after he said that.

We ate in silence, which made me uncomfortable, then left when we were all done eating. As soon as we got back to the bus, I took off to my bunk, and stayed there for the rest of the day.

Around 8pm, I got out of my bunk, to say goodnight to Niall. I walked to the back room, and was about to knock on the door, when I heard my mom, and Niall talking.

"Look, Niall, I know you love Angel as your own kid, but you need to stop spoiling her so much. You should've seen the way she acted in subway earlier today. It wasn't something I liked seeing." My mom said, slightly upset.

"I do love her, as my child, but i can't help spoiling her. She didn't get anything she wanted, when she was in the orphanage." Niall said, in defense.

"Well, lay off the spoiling for awhile. I don't want her getting use to getting everything she wants, all the time. Trust me, it's not a good thing for her to be so spoiled." After I heard that, I felt like crying.

I walked away from the door, and went back to my bunk. I'm not going to ask for anything ever again! This hurts me, a lot. I wasn't trying to be spoiled, I just wanted to have chips and a cookie. I've never eaten at subway before, and I wanted to try both of the side choices.

I was so upset, that I ignored Niall, when he came to say goodnight to me. I acted like I was asleep, until he walked away. I was up most of the night, cause of how upset I was. So when I did fall asleep, I wouldn't get up the next morning till around noon.

I went to the front of the bus, to make myself a bowl of cereal.

"Good morning Angel." Niall said to me. I just glared at him, got me a bowl of cereal, and went back to my bunk. I ate my food, and tried to enjoy being alone. But, as soon as I finished eating, I heard someone walk up to my bunk.

"Angel, love, can we talk?" Niall asked, worried. I sighed, and got out of my bunk.
"What's going on with you? Why are you acting like this?" He asked.

"Because, I heard what my mom said to you last night. About you spoiling me, and the the way I acted yesterday. I wasn't trying to act spoiled, I just never been to subway, and wanted to try the chips and cookies. I'm sorry if it came off as spoiled, it wasn't what I intended." I said, trying to keep myself from crying.

"It's ok, Angel. I told your mom that, but she thinks I'm over spoiling you, and she wants me to not spoil you all the time. But, if you looked in the food bag, you would have noticed that, I got you a cookie, while your mom wasn't looking. Your cookie is still in the fridge, if you want it. Just heat it up for a few seconds, and it will be good to eat." He said, trying to cheer me up.

"Thanks dad, but I don't think my mom has the rights to say how you can and can not treat me. She hasn't been in my life for nine years. So, why should she tell you how to parent me?" I said, a bit angered.

"Well, she is your mom, and she wants to be in your life. She loves you, and cares about you. Trust me, she does want, what is best for you. Just, give this time, ok?" He said, trying to get me to take his side on this.

"Fine, I'm going to get my cookie now." I said, then I went to the front of the bus, and got my cookie out of the fridge. I put it in the microwave for a few seconds, like Niall said, then I took it out and went to my bunk, when it was ready.
