Niall's P.O.V

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

I slowly sneaked into her room without anyone noticing. I placed the bag on her bed while starting to take out clothes and other things she needed, putting each thing in it's place as fast as I could.

After I was done I held my bag and tried to sneak outside again but something grabbed my attention. I walked back next to her bed slowly, looking at the item laying on the soft white sheet. I held it and hid it in my pocket, sneaking out before I got caught.

I went in my room and closed the door. Sitting down on the bed, I started thinking

Yes, I did bring her things ever since she came to live with us; she never noticed. Maybe her mind was busy thinking about something else. Yeah, probably.

I hoped she liked the new shirt though. It was a white shirt with I ♥ Ni written on it.  I smirked to myself. She was going to love it

I looked at the side of my bed, there it was; my small photo album. My parents bought it for me when I was ten. I don't have a clue why do I still have it, but it makes me feel better, even if I stopped reading it a long time ago. Its existence makes me feel that they're still here.

I opened it and started looking at the pictures, there were so many of them. Me as a kid was the funniest thing ever, and my parents took advantage of it.

Not very manlike act, huh big boy?

Couldn't care less about what would people thought about me, I was gonna act like myself no matter how hate I would get.

As soon as the word hate came into my mind, Meg entered the room without knocking.

Bleh, ironic.

I looked up at her and then looked down again, I couldn't care less about her existence now.

"Hi." She greeted unusually while taking a look at the small book; she didn't comment though.

"Hey." I offered half a smile to be polite. Not like I really cared.

Her face softened for a bit, but then it got back to its original poker-face expression.

She walked closer and sat next to me, I looked at her funny, "where have you been lately? I didn't see you around."

"How nice, you care." She scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"You're in my house, you're my responsibility ." I stated emotionlessly.

"I went.. to pay a little visit to a friend." She said, "that's all you need to know."

I felt she was up to something, but I decided to go along with her.

"Niall.." She trailed off. I waited patiently until she found her words again.

"I.. I really want you to be happy, you know?" I was shocked by what I just heard. My ears are deceiving me for sure!

I looked in her direction, her sincere smile surprised me even more.

"What are you up to?" I asked, still shaken a bit.

Her green eyes darkened. Her smile wasn't there anymore, and her bangs fell and covered her right eye. All that in a matter of two seconds.

"Every time I try to be nice, you end up accusing me!" She hissed, "I don't have to be planning for something if I just acted nice towards you!" She got up and her back faced me.
