Just The Underdog (Niall Horan)

chapter 21

It has been a few months since X-Factor ended and I have only been home 2 times, me and the boys have been working as a band making music and getting to know each other, me and Emma don't talk much anymore maybe once every week or two. I miss her like crazy and I hate being away from her. I would get to go home again in a few days, all the boys are coming to meet my family and we will be staying at my house for a week. "hey Niall u have a phone call!" I heard Louis practically scream from inside. "Okay" I got up off the ground where I was sitting looking at a small pond and ran to the house "who is it?" I asked "I don't know take the phone and find out" he said rocking back and forth on his feet with a big smile across his face. I took the phone from Hus hand and he ran away. a weird one that boy is I'm telling u. I brought the phone to my ear "hello?" I asked curious of who it is since Louis home phone doesn't have caller ID. "Niall?" I heard the soft angelic voice "Emma??" my heat stopped I miss her so much "yeah, Niall I miss you when are u coming home?" she asked I could feel the frown she wore on her face even though I could not see it. "just a few more days love I promise!" a slight sigh came from the other end of the phone "okay Niall I'll see u then, I'll let u get back to the boys" she said "ok love remember just a few days" I said hoping it would make her happy her voice was so weak and sad, "yeah a few more days Niall" she sniff led a little "hey Em don't cry I love u! and I will see u soon, the second I get home I'm running to ur house the boys can wait till I see my babe" I said feeling bad "ok Niall, I love u too" she spoke so quietly "see you soon love" I said with a faint smile and she hung up. I can tell its getting harder every day for her to be away from me. I heard a little pitter patter of feet come into the kitchen so I turned around and saw Louis' little sister daisy standing there looking at me, I was crying a little so I wiped away my tears. "Ni are u otay?" she asked running up and hugging my legs I shook my head and picked her up "yeah daisy I'm ok" I said forcing a smile "is it that girl Emma u always talk about" she asked leaning her head to the side a little. I was a little embarrassed that she knew about Emma "yeah, it is" I said "well is she ok?" she asked seeming worried even though I'm sure she is just curious "I don't really know but I get to see her soon so it should be ok" I told her and she sailed "good when u see her tell her i said hi" I laughed and agreed. I kissed her cheek and she laughed and wrapped her little arms as far around me as she could "I love u Niall" it was the cutes thing. Louis had a nice family all very welcoming and sweet but daisy had to be my favorite. "I love u too daisy" she smiled I bet I can beat u back to the living room!" she said and I set her down "bet u can't" I said and we raced to the living room. of course being such a nice guy I let her win and she rubbed it in my face.

** few days later**

the boys and I said our goodbyes to Louis family and packed our things and headed out bit right before I left daisy ran up to me and hugged me so I picked her up"don't forget to tell Emma I said hi" she said and kissed my cheek I laughed a little. "I wont " I said she stuck out her pinky for me. "pinky promise" I locked my pinky with hers and repeated her words. she giggled I put her down waved goodbye and me and the boys were on our way to my house. I texted Emma telling her we had just left and would be there in a couple of hours and that I would call her when our plane landed.
