DAY/PART 1

I woke up to the sound of a door slamming and someone with a loud voice saying, "Ma'am you can't go in there" my eyes fluttered open and there I was face to face with the women who gave birth to me, the women I should love with all my heart, the women that ruined my life.

I was startled, I mean Niall had said that he had to call her but I didn't expect her to show up, I quickly sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes, hoping that it was possibly just having a bad dream but sadly it wasn't. She was here, she was really here.

"Allison" she said strictly, while sitting herself up strait.

I cringed at that name, my father and her were the only ones who ever called me Allison, I absolutely hated the name, I made everyone call me Allie since elementary school. The last time I heard them call me Allison was the day that I left, the last thing I absolutely remember is her saying "Allison I swear to god if you walk out of this house you will no longer be apart of this family, all of us will be done with you, you will not be my daughter anymore." Those words have stuck with me ever since, a part of me was terrified of her being here. I haven't seen her in almost 3 years and I have changed a lot, I cut off the long hair I was forced to have all though out my childhood, I pierced my noise which I probably would have never been aloud to do and I had gotten the matching LDN tattoo Harry had but I got it on the bone of my wrist so that I would see it everyday.

"Susan." I said shyly "What are you doing here?" 

"A boy called, he claimed to be your friend and said that because by blood I am your mother I had to be informed that you almost died." She said looking off past me.

"We'll I am fine and alive so you can go back home. Sorry for the inconvenience."

"Watch your tone with me Allison, what has happened to you, I mean look at you. Shot hair, and god forbid a piercing" she said throwing her hands on the hair, "Oh and that's that? A tattoo? Allison what has this place done to you." She said shaking her head.

"This place is my home, this place is were I fell in love and were I learned to love myself, were I learned to do things that made me happy and not others around me, this place is the first place that ever felt like home. So I am sorry if it isn't your cup of tea, I never asked you come and didn't want you to come, so you can hop back onto a plane and go home" I said raising my voice a little.

"Love?" she laughed, "Oh Allison you never fail to amuse me."

"I am, I am in love." I hissed.

"Oh really hunny, then were is this prince charming of yours."

As I was about to open my mouth and put her in her place the door opened and Niall came stumbling in, he looked sweaty and like he had run though the hospital to get here. 

"Excuse me who the hell are you." She barked at him.

He completely ignored her comment and rushed over to me and hugged me whispering in my ear,

"Al, I'm so sorry. I didn't think she would come, I am sorry."

"Hey it's ok, you're here now which makes it a little better."

"Oh so you're the price charming" she said interrupting us.

"Um nope, I'm Niall. I am Allies best friend." He said sticking out his hand.

She looked down at his hand and looked back up at him.

"I see, well it was nice of you to stop by but I was in the middle of a chat with Allison so please leave."

"Its Allie" he said looking down.

"Excuse me?" she sassed.

"I said its Allie, her name is Allie."

"Get out." She barked.

"No, Niall is not going anywhere. You can go; like I have said so many times now, you can go home. I have all the family I need around me and I don't need to hear all the bullshit coming out of your mouth. You could have at least asked me if I was okay or how I was feeling but you come in here telling me I am a disappointment. Well to you I might be a disappointment but to everyone else I am being the best me I possibly can and I am stronger now"

She kept her mouth shut for a moment and just stared at me.

"What do you mean family?"

I took a deep breath. "I have Niall, who hasn't left my side for 3 year and he is the like the older brother I never had, he always checks up on me and always has ticks up his sleeve to make me feel better, then Brinley who I don't have to say much about because she has been my sister for years, then I have Harry's family who treat me like I am one of them, they are the loveliest people I have ever met in my life. And then there is Harry, who has picked up every single fucking broken piece and made it into something better, he taught me how to love myself again and to let people in, he taught me its okay to be broken and things do get better. He is my absolutely everything and I know I am going to marry him and have a family with him."

I could see tears brim in her eyes but she was trying to keep it all in.

"And where is this Harry boy?"

"A week ago he was driving to Niall and I's New Years party, the roads were icy and he was in a car accident and has been in a coma since." I said quietly, and then the room fell silent.

"Oh, I am sorry to hear that Allison." She said, it sounded like she actually meant it. "You know Allison, I didn't come here to cause more pain, I wanted to actually check in and see how you are. I have felt guilty all these years for what happened and I thought this might be an opportunity to maybe fix things."

"It took you 3 years to realize how badly you hurt me? I don't know Susan, I finally love my little world and right now I cant have anything else go wrong, I cant add more weight on my shoulders, not until I know Harry is going to be okay. I need time to think about all of this because you can't just march back into my life after 3 years and expect a relationship just like that. If you'd like you can stay in town for a few days and ill think. But you have to promise me no drama of any kind because I cannot handle it."

"I promise" she nodded.

"Alright now if you'll excuse Niall and I."

"I will call in a few days. See you hopefully soon." She said standing up and walking out of the door.

"I'm proud of you Al, I can tell she's a piece of work but you did good, all grown up" Niall said giving me a light smile.

"I'm proud of myself as well."

"Want me to bring you some breakfast, none hospital food?"

"Please, fruit bowl, muffin and a coffee."

"I'll be back in half an hour and we'll eat together yeah?"

"I'll see you then, and thanks again for coming in and basically rescuing me." 

"Mhm you're welcome."


A/U Hi guys, I am sorry for not updating for a few days, I have been quite sick the past few days, I am going to try to update tomorrow again as well, I also apologies for kind of a boring chapter, I wanted to make it more dramatic at first with Allie's mother coming in but I thinks she has had it pretty dramatic for the past while so I cut it down a little.
