Finding Hope (A Niall Horan fanfic)

Ice cream has never tasted so good

I woke up due to the sound of my phone going off. I reached over and saw I had a text from James. He must have found my phone and got my number and put his in.

"WAKEY WAKEY! I will be there at 12:00 and well. Girls normally take a while to get ready. So yeah. Ummm eat breakfast and get ready! It's ten o'clock! Peace - James"

 I chuckled after reading the text. I put my phone on my side table. I walked into the bathroom and brushed my hair and teeth. I walked out of the bathroom and put my hoodie on. As soon as I opened the bedroom door I immediately smelt food. I walked down stairs and into the kitchen where I found Mrs.Fish- I mean Jenny cooking bacon, eggs and pancakes.

 "Good morning Love!" she said while flipping the pancakes and trying to dodge the grease that was flying ever where from the bacon.

"Good morning! How are you?" I asked feeling friendly all of a sudden.

"I'm wonderful! How did you sleep? Good I hope?"

"I slept great! Thank you again for letting me stay here! I will be out as soon as I can afford a hotel room or an apartment!" I said while helping her by setting the table while she was busy with the food.

"O dear don't worry about over staying. It gets lonely over here when I'm all by myself since Mr.Fisher is never home cause of business trips and James living on his own. You can stay as long as you like!" She sat down at the opposite side of the table and starting to put food on our plates. We ate in comfortable silence. Which I liked so I could eat since I haven't eaten for a day or two.

"So what are you and James doing today? If I may ask?" She asked with a wink

"He is going to show me around Ireland since I'm kinda new here and need to refresh my memory of my surroundings." I said to her while stuffing my face with some more delicious food. Gosh she is a good cook!

"What do you mean by refresh your memory?" she asked while putting her dish in the sink and washing it while I sat and ate.

"Well I lived here since I was three months old but then I moved when I was fourteen to Texas when my parents got a divorce." I said quietly not wanting to remember my horrible past.

"O I see! So why are you back? Visiting family or what?" She said not knowing I was trying my hardest not to cry.

"Well....... Ummmmm. I wanted. Too. Umm. See new parts! I wanted to visit again! So I moved here on my own!" I lied. I couldn't just tell someone I just met why.....

"O I understand that! Well welcome back!" She said. I don't think she believed me but she just let it go and got up to take care of the other dishes. I got up and started to help until she stopped me.

"Go up and get ready. He will be here soon!" She said happily and pushing me out of the kitchen. I thanked for the wonderful breakfast and ran up stairs to get ready.

~An hour later~ 

I finished getting ready and walked over to the mirror. When I looked in the mirror all I saw was the ugly alien looking thing staring back at me. I knew that ugly alien staring at me was my own reflection.....

"UGH why can't I be pretty for ONCE in my life!" I shouted then put my face in my hands hoping Jenny didn't hear my outburst.

"I think you're beautiful." A voice said behind me. I spun around and saw James leaning up against the frame of the door. I blushed and looked down towards my feet trying to hide my face.

"Don't be shy. It;s only the truth love. Sorry for intruding I came up to check on you cause you weren't answering my calls or texts." He said walking over to me. I walked over to my phone and picked it up. 10 new messages and 5 missed calls and two new voice mails. All from. James.
