Music Saves Lives

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Niall and I weren’t sure how we were going to announce our relationship, but we had to soon. Thanksgiving was coming up and people needed to know before then, since Niall was spending that time with me. So, he decided to send a tweet and let people figure it out

During one of our skype dates he decided to do it.

“I think I know what to say.” He ran his hands through his hair and picked up his phone.

I saw the light on his face as he typed away. “What are you saying?”

“Hang on.” He gulped. “Sent.”

I looked at his twitter on my phone and read his tweet out loud. “Celebrating me first American Thanksgiving this year!! Can’t wait!! x”

“Let’s hope this goes over okay.” He sighed.

“Even if it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter because we love each other right?” I bit my lip.

“Right, babe.” He moved in his seat.

“I can’t wait for you to come to my hometown.” I smiled.

“I’m nervous.”

“Why? It’ll be a good couple of days.” I reassured him.

“I know, but I’m afraid your dad won’t like me. I don’t want to screw up.”

“You won’t. Niall, you shouldn’t be nervous. Nothing that happens will make me think of you differently.” I scrunched up my eyebrows. “Don’t you know you are everything to me? I would give up the world for you. I love you. That’s all that matters. My dad won’t hate you and if by some reason he does, I don’t give a fuck.”

He laughed, he always laughed when I swore. “I love you too.”

“Good.” I giggled. “So, I’ll be going home on Tuesday and then your flight comes in on Wednesday, right?” he nodded. “Okay, then I’ll be picking you up at the airport.”

Later that night, the first article was posted on some gossip site. “Who is Niall spending Thanksgiving with?” It named a lot of his friends, but they were crossed off because they weren’t from America. “That only leaves Niall’s ex, (y/n), of Lovebird’s Cage. Could the two be back together?” I smile, hell yeah we are.

As the days progressed, the stories were adding up. Eve had finally been asked by a reporter if I was dating Niall and the next day her statement was in an article.

“(y/n) and Niall are indeed an item again. (y/n) has ended her previous relationship to pursue her relationship with Niall.”

It’s official now.

I got home yesterday and spent the day with my parents after they got home from work. I woke with a smile on my face. Niall was going to be here in a couple of hours. He flew over-night from Ireland to come celebrate Thanksgiving with me. I was excited, even though I was nervous about him meeting my dad.

I crawled out of bed and immediately went to take a shower. No one was home since they still had to work today. I took a long shower and made sure I smelled good. I wrapped a towel around me and blow dried my hair and applied my make-up. I walked over to my closet and found some of my old clothes. I threw on a blue V-neck sweater and dark wash skinny jeans. I threw on my gray boots and put on my black pea coat. I grabbed the car keys and drove my rental car to the airport.

I told Niall I would meet him at the arrival pick-up in a dark green Jeep. I drove through a couple times until I saw his head covered with a snapback that was put on backwards. I pulled over next to him and he smiled. I got out of the car ran around back to open the trunk. He walked over to me and tossed his suitcase into the back. We both backed away and he shut the door.
