Apartment 12 | Niall fanfic/ Larry.

7: Stars

Niall was turning out slightly different to I'd expected, he laughs just as I thought, He talks just as I know and he eats just like the horse I expected him to eat like, but the way he acted with me was different...I mean, not different from my daydreams and the dreams I would slip into, but the realist thoughts that would hit me every-so-often usually consisted of him just awkwardly trying to start off a small conversation because we wouldn't get along. Instead, the conversations run and he couldn't be more flirty with me.

We got back into the Apartment safely without anyone seeing us sneak up the stairs. Harry was writing in his journal and Louis was no where to be seen. Zayn had told us earlier that he was going to the Stadium early to sort something out...I couldn't remember what.

"Do you want to go in there..." Niall looked towards the living room and then continued with "or in my room?"

"What?" I said, feeling out of place...I went a bit light headed even though that didn't mean what I thought it sounded like.

"Ahaha" he replied "we could just chill I have a little telly in there and I brought my laptop in from the tour bus, so we could watch some funny clips or something?"

"Ah, sure!" I wasn't going to let an opportunity to go into his room down.

Niall's phone started to ring an he handed it over to me. I looked at the caller ID and to my shock, it was Grace!

I wondered where she'd gone...but the plan before was that she would go home, as she wasn't aloud out for long and she had no phone and neither did her stupid foster careers. Well, I suppose stupid is too strong...or is it? Grace likes them, but I think they only do it for the money.

"Hello?" And that's when the questions came rolling in...

What are they like? Have you kissed? Have you kissed Niall? What is the Apartment like? I can't believe you're still with them! Have they said you can live with them forever? If they have, I'm living with them too! OH MY GOD! HAVE YOU MARRIED NIALL?!

" amazing, yes" I started trying to act calm as Niall was watching me "yes and It's gorgeous and I know...i need to tell you som-"

"OMG YES TO WHAT?!" She interrupted with excitement.

I told Niall to go into his room and I will meet him in there after I explain what's happened to Grace.

"Grace, yes I have kissed Niall!"

"Ahhhhhh-" I thought the screaming wouldn't stop.

"GRACE! I have something to tell you!" I start crying again, allowing myself to this time, I was used to Grace calling me when I needed her help to keep me strong, she would sing through the phone to me normally...sing covers of One Direction. "Grace stop screaming"

"If you're about to tell me that you and Niall are getting married then-"

I cut her off "My mum's in hospital Grace!"

"What?! How?" I can hear the shock in her voice and the happiness drained.

"She tried to commit suicide and-and I wasn't there to help and now I'm staying here, with One Direction until she gets better, but even then she might have to go into some home thi-"

"Cassie, calm down. None of this is your fault-" Grace started, she always knew what to say, with everything. I hope she knows that it's not just One Direction who saved me, it was her too. "You have always tried to help her, I remember. You know that you are her angel, and don't act like this is a shock to you because you've been saying your mum's showing more signs that would have lead up to what's happened. But she's strong, where do you think you get it from?" Everything Grace was saying was said with so much confidence I don't think anyone would try to disagree. "I can come and meet you if you like? I'm at a phone box near Maccies."
