They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 3

Niall and I walk up the steps. I knock on the door, and my mom answers.

"Hey Addison. What's wrong?" I sigh, and introduce her to Niall.

"Mom, this is my boyfriend. Niall loves me more than anything. I feel the same way. We've been dating for eight months, and I feel that you should be the first to know." My mom looks at me, and is speechless.

"Addison, eight months? You've known Niall for eight months, and you never told me? Is there anything else you want me to know? Are you moving out? Are you pregnant? Doing drugs?!" I'm heartbroken. My mom is questioning Niall. He's just standing there, not saying a word.

"No, mam. Addison is a very good girl. I'm strictly Catholic, and I don't believe in sex before marriage. Honest." My mom just shuts the door. She doesn't trust me.

"I thought she would understand. I thought she'd accept you." I cry into Niall's chest, and he walks me to the car.

"Let's go, babe. You're coming with me on tour. I want to introduce you to the lads." I nod my head, and sit down in the car.

"Niall, won't the fans see me if I'm on tour with you guys? I mean, meet and greets, and signings, and interviews?"

"No. I won't let them see you. Paul will protect you. So will I. The fans won't find out, I promise."

I sigh, and sit in silence for a few minutes.

"Can you tell me what the boys are like? That way it won't be awkward in a conversation."

"Sure. Which one of the lads do you want to know about first?"

"Hmm. Tell me about Harry. Many fans like him, I hear." Niall smiles uneasily.

"Harry? He's quite the charmer. He's had many girlfriends, and doesn't like to settle down. I mean, he's a good friend, but quite the party animal! When he wants to be serious, he's serious. He's a very good listener, and gives good relationship advice." Niall stares at the floor uncomfortably. As if I'd fall for Harry, and leave him behind.

"Come here for a second." I lean in, and give him a hug. He hugs me tightly.

"I want you to know something, Niall. I'm not the type of girl to play with a guy's feelings. Especially when I care about them so much. I'm faithful, and I never look beyond my dreams. You're my dream, Niall. No one else. I promise you." I kiss him softly on the lips.

"Promise?" He looks like his eyes are about to water.

"Promise. It's okay if you want to cry, Niall. You don't have to hide your feelings." He smiles, and wipes his eyes.

"I don't want to cry, and ruin your day. You're too beautiful to have your day ruined. I love you, Addison. With all my heart." He hugs me.

"Now, who's next?" He smiles.

"Louis. He seems funny." I say with a laugh.

"Yeah. Lou is a real joker. But, his heart is in the right place. Eleanor is his girlfriend of two years. They have to deal with distance, but they can survive it. I've never seen two people more in love."

"I'd love to meet him. Now, how about Liam?"

"Ah. Daddy D. Liam is the most sensible one in the band. He's from Wolverhampton. He's rational, and very cool. He just broke it off with Danielle a few weeks ago. It's been bothering him quite a bit. With tour, he keeps himself busy. We watch Toy Story with him on weekends." Niall laughs.

"Zayn. What's he like?" I smile.

"Well, Zayn is very unique. He's very cool, and just goes with the flow. He's dating Perrie Edwards. They've also been dating for two years. Do you know her?" I smile. Perrie Edwards! I love Little Mix!
