I wake up at 11:37am and realise what day it is...CHRISTMAS DAY!!! I quickly get up and run out of my room not caring that I'm only in my boxers. I run to Louis' room. "Louiiiiieeeeee! Get uuuuuupppppp! It's Christmas!" I jump on Louis and wake him up (obviously) "good morning sunshine. Someone's happy today?" Louis said, more of a question. "I just feel different. Happppyyyyyyy!" I yell and run to Liam's room. "Liiiaaaaaaaaaaaamm! Wake uppp! It's your favourite time of the year!" I run up and jump on him. He groans and sits up. "It's my birthday already?" Liam asked. "No, moron! It's Christmas!" I skip out of Liam's room as Louis and him join me to Harry's room. "I'm up I'm up!" Harry says and puts his hands up in defence. "And I'm behind you." Zayn says "whoa. Mystic Zayn now are we?" Louis says as we giggle and walk to the Christmas tree and open presents.
In the end, I got a new iPhone cover since one of our fans tore mine off, new guitar pics, a Nandos' free 'dinner for 5' and a 5 leaf clover that has each of our names on each petal. We end up going to the beach were we catch up with our families. "Mum!" I yell and run from our group to my mum. "Hello Niall. Merry Christmas." She says and kisses my forehead. She hands me a rectangle shaped present. "Muuuuum. You didn't have to." I said but took it anyway. I took it out of the bag and looked at it. It was a photo frame of me and my family. Just a bunch of memories.
I gave Mum her present as she took it out of the little box and read it aloud 'I won't forget where I belong. Never. -Niall. xox :)' she smiled a big smile and hugged me. "Thank you thank you thank you Niall. It's beautiful." She said. It was engraved on a gold bracelet.
We soon made a barbecue that insisted on sausages, patties, chops and potatoes. It was a great catch up. Soon, the lads all went in the water. I decided to stay back for a while. "Hun, what's the matter?" Mum asked me, taking the seat beside me. "Nothing, mum." I said and smiled. "I know when something's wrong, Niall." She said and I knew she was right. "Well, I feel like no fans like me or want me. And if they do, I don't even know them or there half way around the other side of the world. And I feel lonely, too. I mean, the lads are my brothers. But I would like a girl to call my own for a while." I explained, Mum said nodding her head telling me she understood.
"How could no one want you, Niall? Think about it. You're a world famous Irish pop star. Girls and surely guys love you! Now, get in the water and have fun. It's Christmas!" Mum said . I thanked her and kissed her on the cheek before stripping my t-shirt of and running into the water.
We said out goodbyes shortly after and headed back to our apartment. It's sad that we don't get to spend Christmas with our families. But, yeah. The joys of living a pop star life. When we got back, it was only 4 o'clock. "Anyone up for a round of FIFA?" I asked everyone, grabbing a remote. "Im gonna whip that butt of yours." Louis said. "Like the time you played and fell and twisted your knee cap?" I asked, getting him back. "Irish boy here is gonna pay." Louis said as we set up teams.
We played till 8:30pm when we realised that we were actually hungry. "Alright Tommo. Call it a game so I can eat?" I asked Louis. "Nope. I'm winning this. Fair and square." Louis said in return as Harry came up and grabbed the tv remote and turned the tv off. "Harryyyyy! I was winning!" Louis yelled as he ran up to Harry and started to punch him until Harry bit his shoulder and started to sing 'Teenage dirtbag'
"I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby,
Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby." And we all laughed at Harry's little moment. "Anyone up for leftover fried rice?" Liam asked. He's always the one to cook. "Chinese!" Zayn yelled as we all ran to the table to eat. "So Niall." Harry started with food in his mouth, quickly swallowing it. "Talked to your Mum about life?" He finally asked me. "Yeah. She told me that I'm a world famous Irish pop star and that girls and guys love me." I replied.
"It's true."
