"Mommy?" a cute Irish accent says. I sit up and rub my eyes, waiting for my eyesight to unblur. My 4 year old daughter stands at my bedside with her little stuffed frog that her dad won me at a carnival.
"What's wrong, Lucy?" I ask.
"I had a bad dream." she says.
"Would you like to sleep with mommy?" She simply nods her head and lays in the empty space next to me. After I sing her a song, she's fast asleep. I sigh and run my hands through my hair. Being a 19 year old mother is hard. But it's harder being a single mother.
Her father and I broke up when I found out I was pregnant. He was trying out for the X-Factor and I didn't want to stop his dreams with the baby so I ended the relationship. It broke my heart but I had to do it. And now he's in the biggest boyband in the world. Lucy's father is Niall Horan.
I hate talking about him because all the memories we had come flooding back to me. We had such an amazing relationship. All our friends called us 'The It Couple'. I really miss him and I want to call him and just tell him what happened and why we broke up, but I can't get myself to do it.
He has a concert here in London in a few days and I'm planning on going, but I have no money to buy tickets and backstage passes. I really want to see him and explain why I broke up with him but I'm scared. I'm scared that he doesn't want Lucy. He might not want to be a part of her life and it scares me. But I know Niall and he won't do that. Or would he?
The sun is now up and it's time for me to go to work. I slip out of bed quietly, trying not to wake up Lucy and head to the bathroom. After I'm done taking a shower and getting dressed, I wake up my little princess.
"Wake up babe. It's time to go to work with Mommy!" I say. I work at Starbucks and my boss and co-workers are okay with Lucy staying there with me while I work. She just stamds by me and helps me make drinks and greets costumers. Everyone absolutley adores her. I could just put her in day care but I can't stand being away from her that long.
After I'm done dressing Lucy, we head to Starbucks. I push the door open and Lucy runs to greet my co-worker/best friend, Emily.
"Hey Emmie!" Lucy squeals.
"Hello Princess!" Emmie yells. i laugh at the both of them and give Emmie a hug. I put on my green apron and stand at the counter, waiting for a costumer. Lucy stands by the door and waits for costumers too. I turn my my head to talk to Emily for a bit and the bell that signals a costumer is here.
"Hello!" my daugther yells.
"Why hello there cutie." a familiar irish accent says. The man is wearing a hood so I can't see his face but I'm pretty sure I know who it is.
"Niall?" I whisper.
