Limitless (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 11

(A/N:Hey sorry it's late, but I have been in London and didn't get back till late, thank you for reading :-))

Mia’s POV

I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face as I climb out of bed and go for my shower, I feel as light as a feather, so this is what people mean when they say that they’re on cloud 9. I’m on my way downstairs when I freeze. I can hear my parents talking and I don’t like what they are saying.

“So…what did they say?” I hear my mum ask my dad anxiously.

“Well, they accepted our resignations.” My dad replies. WHAT?!?!?!?! And he’s happy about this? They can’t quit their jobs! I run down the rest of the stairs and burst into the kitchen.

“How could you quit your jobs?!?!?” I yell at my unsuspecting parents.

“Well, honey, we weren’t going to tell you until tonight but since you already know half of it we might as well tell you the rest.” My dad says to my horrified face. The rest? The rest of what? And why don’t I think that I’m going to like it? “Your mother and I have been offered much better jobs. We will be working on ‘The X Factor’, helping out with the vocal arrangements for the contestants. They’re our dream jobs and they pay better.” My dad says, I know that if I look in the mirror I would be able to see the shock that’s all over my face.

“Ok…soooo?” I ask confused as to why they have their ‘bad-news’ faces on.

“The thing is honey, we have to leave in 6 days.” My mum says, reaching her hand out to try to comfort me, but I move away. Why does this always have to happen???? Now my summer’s going to be cut short and Niall and I…NIALL!!!! Without a word I run out of the front door and over the road and I’m banging on Niall’s door within seconds. I try to hold the tears in but I’m having no luck and they begin to spill down my face. I’m vaguely aware that it’s ridiculously early and that Niall’s probably still in bed but I need to see him. I need to tell him.

“Mia?” Niall’s sleepy voice says as he opens the door but his expression changes to one of concern within seconds. “What’s the matter?” He says, pulling me into a hug.

“I’m leaving on Friday.” I sob into his bare chest.

“What?” He says, but when I look at him, he doesn’t seem as upset as I thought that he would be. “But why?” He asks furrowing his brow.

“My parents got offered new jobs by whoever runs ‘The X Factor’ and they are really excited because they get to work with the x factor contestants and stuff, I don’t really get it but we have to leave in 6 days!” I cry. I half expect him to pull me back into his chest but what he says next changes everything.

Niall’s POV

I look at the girl in front of me in disbelief. Her parents are going to be working on the x factor? This is the best thing that she could possibly have said, but what if she thinks that I just want to use her to get through?

“Do they have anything to do with the voting?” I ask cautiously. She looks at me as though I have just sprouted a second head. “Please, just answer the question.” I beg.

“No, they just sort of help out with vocals and stuff behind the scenes I think.” She says, I can see the confusion in her eyes.

“Good,” I took a deep breath before continuing, “Because I auditioned for the x factor in May and it’s boot camp on the 16th August. Dad and I are flying over on the Friday as well.” I say. I’m holding her at arm’s length and I can see the realisation creep onto her face as the tears stop falling from her beautiful blue eyes.
