Skinny Love ~ Niall Horan FanFiction

Chapter 1: Remembering Sunday

Eliza's POV

I looked at my bright red hair and blue eyes one last time in the mirror before I left to my new house.

"Eliza! Come on we're going to be late!" My Dad yelled from downstairs. My Mum walked out on us when I was a young age, he's had girlfriends but they weren't very nice. Most of them were like the typical horrible step mother that you often hear in stories or watch on the telly. I've never really seen his new girlfriend before but I've heard her a lot. I know that her name is Maura and that she has a son one year older than me and one a couple years older than me. I looked around my old room before I closed the door shut.

"Are you ready to leave yet?" My dad cheerfully asked.

"Yeah Im ready." I grabbed my backpack and headed to the front door. This is going to be a long day.

What seems like forever, we pulled up in front of the house there was a women and I'm guessing Niall and Greg. I got out of the truck grabbing my backpack that was behind me.

"Maura this is my daughter Elizabeth." He said to her "Eliza this is Maura."

"Hi Elizabeth, I've heard so much about you. Theses are my sons Niall and Greg, but I'm sure you've heard a lot about them." She said after she hugged me, it shocked me honestly. Not many of my dad's "girlfriends" were that friendly to me. Must be an act.

"Hello Elizabeth. Nice to meet you." Greg said holding out his hand, I wasn't always good when it came to meeting new people so I just simply nodded my head. He seemed a bit disappointed when I didn't shake his hand in return.

"Hey Eliza, I'm Niall." He looked at me and smiled at me, I simply just gave him a small smile in return.

"Please call me Eliza. I prefer to be called Eliza than Elizabeth." I softly said to them. That was the name my Mum use to call me, while everyone called me Eliza she was the only one who called me Elizabeth.

"Niall why don't you show Eliza to her room since I'm getting ready to cook food, and Greg and Daniel unpack the truck." She said, he agreed and I followed him upstairs to my new room.

"Well this is your room here. My room is right next door, Greg's room is down the hall from us and Mum's and your dad's room is upstairs." He said showing me where everyone's room was. "Well I'll um leave you to unpack your things." He smiled and closed the door behind him.

"Thank you." I said softly even though I knew he wouldn't have heard it. I looked around the room until someone knocked on the door, I opened it to see my dad standing there.

"I brought your things up for you. Dinner will be ready soon." He said, I nodded and grabbed a box that he had in his hands.

"You'll like it here trust me." I was startled by someone, I turned to see Greg. I sighed in relief that it was just him and not another stranger that I was unaware of.

"Yeah, I'm sure I will." I muttered at him, he sighed knowing I found it unpleasant moving into their house. He closed the door and left, I just continued to unpack.

"Dinner's ready!" Ms. Maura called. I was a bit shy to walk into the kitchen, but Niall grabbed my hand and walked me in.

"Eliza you can sit here okay." My dad said, I nodded and sat down with him.

"The food is really good." I said taking a bite of whatever Maura had cook, I wasn't really sure what she had cooked but it was pretty good.

"I'm glad you like it." Maura said smiling at me.

"Boy's, Eliza. Maura and I have something to tell you." My Dad said as he looked at Maura. An unease feeling began to grow in my stomach as if it started to toss and turn. 

"We're getting married." Maura had finished, Niall and Greg had seemed happy and had congratulated them.

"You took everything away from me and now you're doing this too." I claimed, everyone looked at me with a shock expression on there faces from my out burst. I knew I fucked up, I excused myself from the table and went upstairs without saying another word. I just sat on my bed, I have to get out of this house. I grabbed my guitar and climbed out of my bedroom window.

How could he do this to me? I've only met her today and they're getting married! 'She'll be just like the last one, just as bad if not worst' the thoughts echoed in my head. I walked for what seemed like a while until I found a park that wasn't to far my old home. I sat on a swing and pulled my guitar out from the case, maybe strumming some note would help me calm down.

"He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes, started making his way past 2 in the morning he hasn't been sober for days."

"Leaning now into the breeze Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees. They had breakfast together, but two eggs don't last like the feeling of what he needs."

"Now this place seems familiar to him, she pulled on his hand with a devilish grin, she led him upstairs, she led him upstairs left him dying to get in."

"Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling, I'm calling at night. I don't mean to be a bother, but have you seen this girl? She's been running through my dreams and it's driving me crazy, it seems I'm going to ask her to marry me."

"Even though she doesn't believe in love, he's determined to call her bluff who could deny, these butterflies? They're filling his gut."

"Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces he pleads though he tries, but he's only denied now he's dying to get inside."

"Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling, I'm calling at night. I don't mean to be a bother, but have you seen this girl? She's been running through my dreams and it's driving me crazy, it seems I'm going to ask her to marry me."

"The neighbors said she moved away, funny how it rained all day. I didn't think much of it then, but it's starting to all make sense oh, I can see now that all of these clouds are following me in my desperate endeavor. To find my whoever, wherever she may be"

"I'm not coming back I've done something so terrible I'm terrified to speak but you'd expect that from me. I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt, now the rain is just washing you out of my hair and out of my mind. Keeping an eye on the world, from so many thousands of feet off the ground. I'm over you now I'm at home in the clouds, and towering over your head"

"Well I guess I'll go home now... I guess I'll go home now... I guess I'll go home now... I guess I'll go home."

My phone was going off like crazy. Text messages from 2 unknown numbers and my Dad.

Eliza is Greg. Please come back home, we're worried about you.

Hey it's Niall, what's wrong? Please come back, I don't want anything to happen to you.

Eliza where are you? Why did you just leave? You have a lot to explain when you come home.

I sat there for a moment thinking. Should I really go home? I know this might now seem like much of a problem, but everything is gone. I shook off the feeling and put my guitar away. I started to head home. Why does this home have to be so far away?
