Twenty : Awkward Family Greetings & Home

A/N : enjoy ! it's kinda short but I hope you guys like it !

Niall :

Well we've been home for about a couple hours now and my family has taken more interest in Callie then Jennifer and it's really awkward. Everyone in my family ran up to hug Callie and I then the awkward hugs came around for Jennifer. I introduced her as my girlfriend to everyone and they were quite surprised but were nice to her I don't blame them, I'm pretty sure everyone in my family knew I had a crush on Callie. I caught up with all my family and now Jennifer was sitting by me and I had Theo in my lap. I was playing with Theo and Jennifer started to play with him too.

"Hey is it alright if you hold Theo while I go talk to my mom?" I ask her.

"Of course yeah!" She says taking Theo from me.

I go into my room and find my mom sitting on the bed.

"Hey mom." I say joining her on the bed.

"What's wrong Niall, don't lie. You've been looking sad since I saw you at the airport." She said holding my hand. How did she know I just walked in, might as well tell her.

"It's just Callie. She's been acting so different. I know she's upset with me but she won't tell me that she is. I heard her talking to her mom on the phone the other day talking about how she was hurt that I didn't spend any time with her. Then at the airport she didn't say anything to anyone and did everything unannounced. Then the whole plane ride she said nothing to me, she just slept and listened to sad songs. What's wrong with her? I'm worried about her mom." I say trying to explain my feelings.

"Look Niall did you ever think how does she feel? All of us sudden you come and tell us you have this new girlfriend out of the blue. Which is alright because if she makes you happy then I'm happy. However, you need to consider how Callie feels. She probably feels replaced and hurt because you haven't been best friend like with her lately. And coming back here isn't helping her case because all she can remember is all the memories you two have made here. Why don't you try to look at things from her perspective and spend time with her during these three weeks. I'm not saying go ditch Jennifer but don't ditch Callie either. Find balance between the two." My mom explained. Wow mothers do give the best advice.

"Thank you so much mom, that helped a lot. I love you." I say hugging her.

"I love you too. Now go find Callie!" My mom says then walks out of my room leaving me alone.

I need to go find Callie and fix this. I walk downstairs to see that Jennifer was still holding Theo and Callie was still talking to everyone and right now she was talking to my grandparents, they've always loved her. She smiled at them then got up and walked out the door, where was she going? I decided the best thing to do was follow her.

Callie :

I'm not gonna lie that was really awkward because everyone in Niall's family talked to me and not Jennifer. I talked to everyone then went outside for some fresh air. I walk outside and take in my surroundings. I've missed my home so much and I miss the memories I've made here.

"I've missed it here too." Niall says behind me. Since when was he out here?

"You & I haven't been able to come back here as much as we would like to, now we can." Niall said walking closer to me, but my back was still facing him.

"Well you can stay here as long as you like in these 18 months, I can't. I have to go back to school again once these three weeks are over." I say not looking at him still.

"You have a point." Niall says then I hear him kick the snow around us. There goes the awkward silence again.

"I'm just gonna go to my house." I say slowly walking to my house, it's been awhile and it's only four houses down from Niall's so I wasn't going far.

"Callie wait up!" Niall yells running to catch up with me.

I don't wait up and continue to walk a little faster. Why was he like this? Shouldn't he be in the house with Jennifer?

I walk into my house and go up to my room. I've missed my house and it all still looks the same with that same fresh smell too. I hear the door close again, well there's Niall. I go up to my balcony then close the doors and remember our first kiss here. I hope he doesn't find me here, I feel a tear fall. I wish after that kiss I could've told him how I felt, but I didn't. I started to cry some more but not too loud for Niall to hear. I guess Niall knew where I was because the doors to my balcony open and Niall was standing right there staring at me.

"Callie what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Niall said coming closer to me. I don't look him in the eye, scared that I'll cry more.

"I'm fine. I've just missed home." I said looking at my hands. Little did he know I didn't mean home as in right here in Ireland in my house, but home isn't always a place but a someone. Home was Niall holding me, home was Niall spending time with me, home was Niall making me feel the like luckiest girl alive. Home to me was Niall Horan.
