Trying To Stop Dreaming (Niall Horan)

My unbiological brother

Attie's P.O.V-

We all sat there for a second until I speak up. "Sorry I left." I say and everyone looks up at me. "Attie, it's okay we understand. Just next time tell us where you are going." Noah says and gives me a forgiving smile, as does everyone else. "But wait! I have something amazing to tell you too!" I say and clap my hands. Brandon just laughed at my actions. "You actually answered your dad's phone call?" Maddie says sarcastically. "Maddie I said I had something amazing to tell you. I didn't say that a miracle happened." I smile and continue to talk. "While I was gone...I did NOT have any night-terrors!" I say with a smile and clap. Everyone's mouth dropped. "How?!" Allona says with excitement. I blush while remembering that me and Brandon were cuddling and fell asleep and that's how. "Attie why you blushing so hard?" Noah and Kennedy laugh. I look at Brandon begging him to explain. "It's because we both fell asleep on the couch. Like when she sleeps near me she doesn't have them." he smiles and grabs my hand.

"I praise you Brandon! Sorry Attie but you give me heart-attacks when you scream." Noah admits. Brandon just shakes his head and laughs at Noah. "Hey! Blame my mother!" I smile and Allona laughs. The One Direction guys just sit there confused. "Night-terrors run on my moms side." I say and they all say "Oh" and kind of understand it. I laugh awkwardly until we hear Brandon's phone ring. He answers it and walks out of the room. When he does that Asian freaks out. "I FREAKING NEW IT!" she says and points to me. "I TOLD YOU!" she says and everyone laughs. "I never thought you would be right."

"You doubted my Asian-ness?!" she says and points to me dramatically. I start laughing again. "Yes I did. Honestly I wish I didn't now." I smile and then Brandon comes back into the room. "Didn't wish what?" he says and looks around at everyone. "That I didn't doubt her Asian-ness." I say and he makes an 'o' shape with is mouth. "So who was calling?" Noah asks. "Attie's unbiological brother." Brandon says and my mind goes to Nate. I freak out but I know that Brandon and Nate don't talk. "Who?" I blink. "Kyl." he says and I smile. "CLOUSE?" Maddie yells. "CALVIN?" Asian adds in. "OHY GOD I WANNA SEE CONSTINE AGAIN!" I yell. "You guys still remember those nicknames?" Brandon asks. "Well yeah. We created them." Maddie says and Brandon shakes his head.

"Anyways what did he say?" I ask and turn around to look at my very handsome boyfriend. "It's a surprise. Well actually it's two surprises." Brandon smirks. "Oh come on! You know I hate surprises!" I say and frown. "Oh well that sucks doesn't it now babe?" he says and I nod my head yes. "Please tell me?" I frown. "Nope. Wait." he says and takes a seat next to me. I frown and turn away. He chuckles. Suddenly my phone rings. I look at it and it says that my father is calling.

"Your dad?" Kennedy asks. I shake my head and regretting that I hit the answer button. "Attalina?" coldly. "Hi dad." I say in my best I-don't0fucking-hate -you voice. "It's Spaghetti Sunday. Are you gonna cook for your drug dealer friends?" he says and I am already wanting to punch him through the phone. "Yes dad I am. They aren't drug dealers either. But sadly for you my friends don't use me." I smirk. I would do anything to see him pissed off or annoyed. "I was just wondering. Don't talk to me like that. You are still my daughter." he says coldly. "I think that Daniel would disagree. I'm still gonna change my last name. Bye." I say and hang up on him. I put my best smile on and walk back into the room.

"Dear god she's smiling." Maddie says and freaks out. "You're not Attie!" She adds on and starts looking around all crazy. "I'm happy because I get to carry on the one tradition from my dad's family that I like." I smile and everyone looks at me with confusion. "Who's hungry?" I say again and everyone raises their hands. "Good! I'm making spaghetti!" I yell and run to the kitchen. "Do have the ingredients?" Noah asks. "Dude I'm Italian. Of course I do!" I yell and start getting everything out. He walks out of the room. I hear someone else walk into the kitchen and I expect it was Brandon. "Hey babe." I say and turn around. "Sorry girly. I'm taking by your best friend." Niall says and smirks at me. "Opps. Sorry, I thought you were Brandon." I shyly smile and go back to preparing everything.

"So how did you and Brandon start dating?" Niall asks. "Well I was talking about why I left last night and we hugged and then we kissed and bam we were dating!" I say and through my hands in the air. "Well I only kissed you because you looked at me with your mesmerizing eyes." Brandon says while walking into the kitchen. I smile and walk up to him. I peck him of the lips and start talking to Niall. "Hey you okay bro? You look tense." Brandon says and I look at Niall. "I'm fine." the Irish boy answers. "So how did you and Allona start dating?" I say and start mixing the ingredients for the sauce. "Um well I was sitting on the porch just thinking she was doing the same. Then we started talking and well we just kissed." Niall says. He wasn't telling all of the story though. "Nice." Brandon says and eats a grape. "Hey you! What's the surprise?" I say before he tries to leave the kitchen.

"Yeah we're gonna need two extra plates okay Attie? Don't forget!" is all he says and I groan. "You really don't like surprises." Niall laughs. 'Nope. Cause then I can't be prepared." I say and turn on the oven. "But that's the point of a surprise. To not be prepared." he says and I smirk. "But I have to be prepared. Hence why I hate surprises." I say and start cutting the meat. "How did you learn to make all of this." Niall asks. He seems interested. "The only thing that was helpful that my dad taught me was how to cook this meal." I say and remember all the times he told me how to properly make it. "The only thing?" he says and I look up. "Yeah. The rest was all crap." I say and go back to cutting the food. "Okay. How come you never talk about either of your parents?" he asks and I feel a lump in my throat. "My dad lives in America same with my step-mom. I like my step-mom but I can't stand my dad. My mom died two years ago in a car crash. My step-dad lives in Portugal." I say and feel a tear roll down my cheek.
