They don't know about us (A Niall Horan Fanfiction)

Table of Contents + Chapter 1

It´s the worst when the own parents split up. So many questions like "should I live with mum or dad?" or "why?"  and they are all asked in the time the children are crying over it and try to handle it somehow. Caitlin had the same problem. She wasn´t sure if she made the right decisions but if she didn´t do the decision she made she maybe never got to know the love of her life.

She moved in with her father because she was more like him than her mother and they both had a really good relationship. She was ingenerally more than a boy and only a little group of people knew her other side...

And what happens when this lofe of her life becomes famous and they have to keep their relationship a secret? Will they stay together or split up? Will they live apart or go through highs and deeps together?

Chapter 1:

Caitlin´sPOV

I thought it was a normal day. It was the morning of the 9h of May 2008. The alarm-clock of my mobile phone rang and I tryed to touch the slumber botton. I tryed. I failed and fell on the floor. Well, now I was awake. It was 6 o´clock. I stood up and went into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and put my long, blond hair in a ponytail and cleaned my face. I looked in the mirror and thought the same as every day: OU! I´m so ugly!  But I never put any make up on. I was just 14 years old and I thought it would maybe look a bit more ugly than I was anyway. Ok, a bit mascara but that was the only thing I did.

I went to my wardrobe and put out underwear, a bra, jeans and a casual t-shirt. I put it on, grabbed my schoolbag and went downstairs to the kitchentable. My mum and dad were already there and we began to eat. I just drank a cup of milk like every morning. In school I would eat real.Yep, just like every other normal day. I didn´t knew what happened in the afternoon.

In first period I had English. I wasn´t bad in speaking English but I wasn´t the best and that was most because I was to lazy to learn the vocaulary. Jep, I wasn´t from any country where you speak English. I was from Germany and I was proud of it.

Back to Englisch: We had to make some presentations and could start in school. It was about ourselfs. Yeah! How I loved to talk about myself! And especially in front of others, in front of all those girls who were so different than I. I hate them. Most of them think they are the queen of the world and they always flirt with the boys. God, it was so annoying.  Yeah, I hated it! I hated to be in Focus.

I was happy when this period was over. The next were better and in our break I went with my BFF Eliza to the boys like everyday. We were pretty much the same. She was a bit more into boys.  I was more a boy than a girl and same Eliza. But we both had also a other side but beside our families and each other no one really knew about it and I was happy with that. We just chilled out with the boys before the next period started. All of the day went like that and I went home and started into the weekend.

That day my mum AND my dad were at home and they looked very serious what scared me. "Hey mum, hey dad, what´s wrong?" I asked. "Caitlin, please sit down, we have to tell you something" my mum said "and please don´t get angry with anyone." I was very confused and sat down. "Well, I don´t know where to start but we are so sorry and it really isn´t your fault! It really isn´t and we both love you so much and that will never change. We thought about ourself and our relationship much lately" my dad told me. Moment, what? No! They couldn´t say what I thought they were going to say now. That couldn´t happen! A tear rolled down my cheek. "we both came to the result that we don´t still like each other like it was once. We like us like friends but nothing more anymore. We´re so sorry honey! We really are! This is the hardest decision we´d ever made in our lifes and it will ever be. We are really, really sorry but we split up. We are so sorry honey!" He continued. That was exactly what I thought! NO! More tears were running down my cheeks and I started sobbing. I didn´t cry often, only if something were really serious and this was. My parents split up. It was horrible. It was a nightmare.

But somehow I understood their decision. We were sitting on our sofa for like half an hour of me crying. They were on both sides of me, rubbing my back and trying to help me somehow. I used all the time to think. I understood them. It wasn´t really what I prefered our Family to be but I couldn´t change it. As long as they were still friends. "W-will you still b-be f-friends?" I cryed. They both nodded. Ok, I could live with that. "Ok, if it´s better for us, before you both will fight over much things I guess this is the better way" Their both faces light up. "Are you serious?" My mum asked. "Yeah, I guess so." I smiled quickly.

"Caitlin?" My dad asked. "Yeah?" "wanna come out and play football (soccer)?" "YES!" "OK honey, let´s go!" He smirked at my reaktion. I loved footballing and he knew.

We went to the park near our house. We played a while and I thought it all through until a question popped in my head. "Daddy?" "yes honey" "who am I going to live with?" I asked. "We thought it would be the best to let you decide. Whoever you want to live with we both still love you and try the best that you can see the other parent as often as possible. If you want to live with your mum I respect it and I won´t be mad and on the other side is it same. But there´s one point, I´m going to move to ireland." He loved ireland just as much as I did. He ever wanted to live there but my mum didn´t and I was too young.

As we went back home in the evening I took a shower. I could think the best when cold water was running down my face and hair. I didn´t know what but anything or anyone took me over to ireland. Was this even possible?

Half an hour later -wow that was the longest shower I ever took- I went out, dryed my hair, brushed my teeth and took my pyjama on but it was nothing else than boxers and a tank top. I went downstairs in the living room. "Mum, dad can we watch a movie? PLEASE!" they laughed at me. "Sure honey, which one?" " 'MATILDA´!" Yes, 'Matilda´ was actually one of my favourite movies.

In the middle of watching the movie I remembered that I made a decision. "Mum, dad? I made a decision who I wanna move in with! Please don´t be mad at me -" "we won´t!" they interrupted me in unison. "Don´t interrupt me! And that was Kind of scary" I giggled "I think I´m going to move in with dad but mum, I love you two same!" "it´s ok honey, I´m going to see you as often as possible" We hugged a while and than pulled away. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and she did same.

"You wanna see our new house hones?" my dad asked. "YES!" I returned excited. We smirked, stood up and left. A few minutes later he came back with his laptop. He showed me the picture and I had to say it looked nice.

We decided to play 'Monopoly ´ while continueing to watch the movie and others like 'Hairspray ', 'the cat in the hat ' and 'over the hedge '. I loved them as well.

Afterwards I went back into my room and cuddled into my bed. A few minutes later I fell asleep.

The next day I woke up late. I loved sleeping and weekend was the best.

I went in the park and played... what else than football with the boys.

In a break we ate and drank while relaxing on a bench. I spoke to me best guyfriend Paul. "Paul?" "what´s up Catie?" Catie was his nickname for me. "My parents split up and I´m going to move to ireland with my dad when the holiday begins." He was shocked and than he hugged me. "OMG! Catie I´m so sorry" "it´s alright. I think it´s better than that they fight all the time or something like that"  "you´re such a strong girl" Maybe I was but I couldn´t stop a tear falling down my cheek. We hugged a long time until we realized the others were smirking and yelling "Oh, Look! Paul and Caitlin are in love!" We pulled away and I blushed while looking on the ground. "No, we aren´t! Caitlins parents split up and she´s going to move to ireland with her dad when the holiday begins!" Paul explained. The others were shocked as well but than came over to me for a group hug.

I was going to miss them all so much but I made a decision...
