Thank you to @teeloganroryflanagan for sending me this lovely prompt!

Summary: 12 year old Niall gets injured while his (very protective) brother, Louis is on tour with his mates.

~~~~~~~~

Niall sprinted down the steps, flying past his many sisters who screeched and gave him glares at his reckless behaviour. He stopped at the front door, quickly putting on his shoes and jacket.

"Niall?" He heard and his shoulders immediately slumped, of course, mom had to be in the way of his fun.

He turned around, giving his mother a glare as she walked into the hallway, dish towel in hand as she wiped her hands. She stared at him in confusion, looking down at his shoes and then slowly moving her eyes up to his agitated expression.

"Where are you going mister? It's family night tonight." She crossed her arms over her chest, giving him her "mom" face.

"I'm going out with Joey and Daniel." He grumbled, turning to grab at the door handle but his moms voice made him freeze.

"Did you not hear me? It's family night, and besides, I don't like those boys, they are too rowdy."

Niall just rolled his eyes, his mother raising her brows and looking offended at her sons snotty actions.

"Besides, they're already coming here. I'm not turning them away now, I'll make it up to you next Sunday" He quickly said, not waiting for an answer as he rushed out the door and slammed it behind him.

Joey and Daniel were just walking up his driveway when he got off the porch, both holding skateboards, his smile widened seeing his friends, they were so popular at his school and they both had girlfriends, Niall felt so cool hanging out with them.

"Yo, we got our skateboards and heading to the skatepark, let's go before it gets packed!" Daniel yelled, throwing his board down and getting on top of it. Niall thought maybe he should bring his bike, but was too lazy to go into the garage and get it, so, he just ran along side the two.

They got to the park way before him, Niall had to stop halfway when he was almost out of breath. Walking the rest of the way. But once he got into the park, he was amazed at Daniel and Joey's tricks, going along the steep concrete pool-shaped holes, zooming down slopes and skidding along railings.

He sat at one of the benches, jealous of the two boys who looked like professionals. He couldn't do that, he could barely ride his damn bike, let alone to tricks on it. He felt so uncool now.

Joey stopped and flipped his skateboard up, catching it in his hand. He walked over to Niall, a smug smirk on his face. Daniel had stopped also, doing the same thing Joey did and then walking over also.

"I heard your brothers back on tour again." Joey said, setting his board back down to play at it with his feet.

Niall rolled his eyes, he didn't want to talk about his brother. Louis, the oldest sibling in the family, all popular and rich, and when he got home he treated Niall like a three year old, acting like a overprotective dad all the time. Niall barely got to do anything.

"Yeah, left yesterday." He mumbled, picking at the hole in his jeans.

"So now your, like, free to do anything now?" Daniel asked, looking excited. And Niall had to be honest, he got a little jolt of excitement also, his brother wasn't here anymore to watch him like a hawk, he now can do anything he wanted to.

"What should we do?" Niall asked, jumping up onto his feet, bouncing on his toes in excitement.

"Here, try and do some tricks, go down that sick slope down there." Joey insisted, shoving the board into Niall's hands.
