Second Chances (Niall Horan Fanfiction)

Part 25

I woke up next to Niall and I couldn't keep the smile off my face. He had treated me like a princess last night and it was all so romantic! Especially the red roses. I never thought I'd get to go to Paris let alone see the Eiffel Tower and ride in a horse drawn carriage.

I got out of bed put my dressing gown on and went through to the lounge area where the balcony was. The view was amazing and it was so warm today making me want to go down to the pool. I got my bikini on and wrapped a towel around myself and ran down to the pool.

It was like one of those pools in movies. The water was the most amazing colour of blue and there was a lagoon serving drinks and palm trees were placed around the pool where there were deck chairs.

'Hey Madison.' A voice called. It was Poppy.

'Hey isn't this lovely.' I said looking around.

'Yeah, perfect isn't it! So what did you get up to once we dropped you guys off?' She asked curious.

'Niall treated me like a princess! Oh my god it was the most perfect night ever. So we were walking along the street and then he took me down to a boat that Niall rowed all the way down the river and then we stopped at the most stunning view of the Eiffel Tower which he reminded me I told him it was one of my dreams and then when we got off there was a trail of red roses up to a horse and cart which was another one of my dreams and it was all so perfect!' I said all in one breath and had a massive smile on my face.

'Awww sounds amazing. You're so lucky, Harry and I just drove back to the hotel and he lay on the bed and fell asleep.' She moaned laughing slightly.

'Aw haha now I need to get a tan so badly!' I said lying down putting my sunglasses on.

'Morning beautiful.' I heard a voice whisper into my ear. I suddenly sat up realising I had fallen asleep in the sun. I took my sunglasses off and looked to Niall.

'Morning Nialler.' I said nuzzling into his neck.

I then looked at my arms which were so red. 'Shit! I'm so burnt!' I sighed staring at the sun cream I forgot to put on. Poppy, Harry and Niall all laughed.

'Lie on your back and I'll rub it in.' Niall said squirting sun cream all over my back. I jumped as it was so cold.

'Do you want me to do your front aswell?' Niall smirked.

'No, I can do that myself thank you.' I laughed kissing him quickly.

'Who wants a drink?' Harry asked. Niall ordered a beer and Poppy asked for a cocktail.

'I wish I could have a cocktail but I'm a year too young.' I sighed.

'I could just get you one, you could pass for over 18 any day!' Harry said.

'Oooh okay Thankyou.' I laughed. Niall moved his deck chair closer to mine and took my hand holding it between our chairs.

Niall's POV

We were now home from France and unpacking our stuff. The last two days were fun Poppy and Maddie got a bit tipsy in our hotel room and started having their own wee party dancing about. Yesterday before our flight home we just spent some time sight seeing and looking at the independent French shops. It was a great relaxing break!

Madison's POV

Once I had finished unpacking I told Niall I was going to visit my dad at his grave he offered to go with me but I felt like I should go myself as I hadn't seen him in over three months and I felt so bad. I told Niall I'd take him the next time. I haven't moved on from my dad yet. I wasn't expecting to. People have told me that it can be two years before you can finally have a day without having someone that has passed away on your mind.

I made my way to my car. As I got closer to the cemetery I got shaky and nervous. I took a few deep breaths before walking up to his grave. I had brought some blue, red and white flowers and laid them just in front of his gravestone. 'Hey dad.. I'm so sorry I haven't come to visit you in such a long time, I've had my ups and downs lately. Niall and I have become so much closer and he took my to Paris for the long weekend. It was perfect. Mum and I are on better terms, and Alexa is getting taller and has started wearing pink ribbons in her hair every day and she looks so cute. I've not seen Amy for about eight months, I've texted her a few times but she's been really busy with work but I promise to visit her really soon.' I took a breath ready to go onto to a sadder subject. 'There has been a bit of sad news, about three months ago I had a miscarriage. I didn't know I was pregnant, the hospital had to run tests and they umm they told me that I couldn't have children..' Tears fell from my eyes.

'Niall has been amazing though giving me so much support and spoiling me. I just couldn't believe it that suddenly my dreams of having the perfect family were taken from me. I know there are other ways like adoption or surrogacy but it's different because then you don't go through giving birth and all the stages up to it.' I had to take a break to try and stop myself from crying. It was hard speaking about it.

'Anyway I'm happy right now and I got a place in a fashion college that starts next summer which I'm so excited about. So I've got a bit of a gap year between now and then. I better get going now, I'm going to go see Alexa and mum for tea tonight.... I miss you so much and I think about you every day, I still can't believe your gone and some days I just wake up and can't bare to think that I can't just call you up or pay you a visit. I love you and I promise to not wait so long until my next visit. Bye.' I said crying more and more. It's so hard to talk to him because I just end up missing him so much more, he isn't my biological dad but he was there from when I was three years old. My real dad walked off on my mum leaving her with Amy and I. Then my mum met dad and they were so in love.

I walked back towards my car when I saw Jacob. 'Hey Mads, you okay?' He asked hugging me as I kept crying.

'Some days I'm absolutely fine visiting him but others I just can't cope.' I cried more into Jacobs jacket.

'I promise it gets easier, I was just going to pay him a visit myself, he was a great guy so caring and funny and genuine.' Jacob said. My dad had helped him by giving him his first job and offering him to stay at ours when his mum and dad went through a really bad break up. My dads basically been there like a real dad to him.

'Yeah, he was lovely. I better get back home.' I smiled walking back to my car.

When I got home I was still crying, I guess because It had been so long since I last went to see my dad it just made it really hard this time.

Niall was watching tv so I took a seat next to him. 'Hey babe, are you okay?' He asked hugging me. I made a 'mhmm' noise as I sniffed and tried to wipe my tears away. I knew if I tried to speak again my words would come out in parts and my breathing would be mucked up.

'I love you okay. And I'll be here every time you feel down about your dad whenever you need someone to cry to please just talk to me.' Niall whispered rubbing my back. He then left kisses along my neck up to my lips.

'I love you. I want you to come with me next time I see my dad, you need to meet him.' I smiled 'I know it will be strange but I still feel he's here and when I talk to him I always hear him reply.' I laughed as if I was stupid.

'I understand. And of course ill come with you whenever you need me I will be there.' He said holding my hands kissing them one by one making me laugh. He never fails to put a smile on my face!
