thanksgiving break was only a week long, but everyone was excited for it. november and niall were already in ireland, and they were currently driving to niall's place, much to november's surprise. chloe and zayn were in las vegas visiting chloe's father and sister, and alexa was in her dorm doing nothing.

her family invited her to spend the holiday with them, but she politely declined, since she has work to do and would rather spend it with luke.

bri was with julius, obviously, discussing all things baby related.

harry and louis were waiting at niall's house patiently, drinking all of his beer and messing up his room. they didn't exactly care if november saw them acting like they were. liam was on his way from the airport.

november was nervous, to say the least. she had never met niall's family, so she didn't know what to expect. what if they hated her? what if she said something she shouldn't have in front of them?

"we're almost there, baby. are you excited to finally meet my mum?"

"of course i am," november half lied.

"are you excited to finally meet my friends?"

"harry and louis? yes, very. i want to know what happened between naughty boy and louis. oh, and of course i want to meet harry."

niall knew his girlfriend was nervous. he was nervous when he met her family, but they had been dating for nine months now, and she hadn't even said a word to her or greg.

when they finally arrived at the house, november was surprised it was as cold as it was. it was nothing like los angeles; it was overcast and drizzling. niall did tell her to wear warm clothes, so she did. thankfully, she put her hair in three french braids, not wanting her hair to get frizzy from the humidity.

"just be yourself, she'll love you," niall reassured.

november gripped onto niall's arm and followed him up the wooden steps and allowed him to pull her closer to him, since she was shaking from how cold it was. maura opened the door and pulled niall into a tight hug, then november.

"it's so nice to finally meet you! niall always talks about you and i always insist he flies you out here, but no," she squeezed her lightly before letting go and pulling her into the house.

"it's nice to meet you too, mrs. horan," she smiled.

"oh no, dear. call me maura. mrs. horan is my ex husband's mother."

november felt stupid, forgetting niall's parents were divorced, but niall insisted it was fine, so she tried her best to let it go.

"harry and louis are in your room, ni. liam called and said he was on his way from the airport. are you hungry, november? i can make you something to eat?"

since it was the morning in ireland, it was early morning in los angeles. having never even left the state, november had never experienced jet lag before, but it was hitting her now.

"i actually wanted to catch up on some sleep, if that was okay?"

"yes, of course! niall will show you to his room."

niall thanked his mother before showing a tired november to his room. as soon as he opened the door however, he looked away at the sight of harry and louis practically having dry sex on the small couch in the corner of his room. he cleared his throat, "guys."

november laughed at the sight but then yawned, wanting to go to sleep. niall's room was clean, but maura probably cleaned it before they got there.
