Limitless (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 12

Mia’s POV

It’s Thursday 12th August, one day to go before we leave for London and the house is chaos. My mum is completely manic, she always gets stressed when we have to move house. She’s yelling about boxes and she’s written lists for everyone of what they need to pack. Niall’s helping me since he only needs to pack some clothes, luckily my parents have agreed to let Bobby and Niall stay with us, Greg has decided to spend the rest of the summer in California so I haven’t met him yet, but he seems nice from what I’ve heard.

“Mia! Stop daydreaming and get packing we leave tomorrow!!!” My mum says, I roll my eyes before continuing to pack my belongings into a few boxes and most of my clothes into my suitcase.

“What were you daydreaming about?” Niall asks me with a wink.

“Actually, I was thinking about where to take you first when we get to London, should I introduce to the girls or do we go sightseeing first?” I ask.

“Well honestly I think that we should maybe spend what we have left of the day, tomorrow, sightseeing and then maybe you could ask your parents if ‘the girls’ are allowed to come for dinner, that way we can enjoy some time in London, just you and me before I have boot camp.” He says with a smile and I smile back while nodding in agreement. At that point my mum walks back into my room and I immediately get back to work since I don’t want her to shout at me again, Niall and I talk on and off while we packing up my bedroom, the off times were when my mum was around, she’s too polite to be rude to Niall but she has no qualms with being rude to me.

It’s now 1pm and we’ve been packing boxes since 9am and we’re all pretty tired so we stop for a lunch break.

“The pizzas ready!” My mum calls up to us, even though she has told us that we could have a break about 20 minutes ago. We haven’t bothered going downstairs so we just lay on my bed in each other’s arms, staring at the few small cracks that are on the ceiling. It’s nice to just be with Niall, we don’t need to be constantly talking, we’re happy to just be around each other…but parents are made to annoy us, so we slowly get off the bed and plod down the stairs. We all sit at the kitchen table and eat our pizza, my mum eats hers as fast as she possibly can because she’s eager to get going with the packing again, even though all of the upstairs is now packed and it’s pretty much just the living room and the study that need to be packed up. The rest of us, dad included, eat our pizza as slowly as possible, unfortunately pizza doesn’t take long to eat even if you are taking your time so 30 minutes later and it’s back to the packing, Niall and I start on the living room while mum and dad do the study. I know that Niall and I will finish long before mum and dad since there is hardly anything to do in the living room, just a few souvenirs that my parents insisted on buying in California as well as a few photos, one of which is of me surfing in a bikini only a few months previously. This picture is, of course, the one that Niall finds first, although I have to admit it is one of my better picture but also one of my more revealing.

“Can I keep this one?” Niall asks as he picks it up and shows it to me while giving me a cheeky grin.

“No, you most certainly cannot!” I say with a small giggle.

“Please?” He begs, giving me the cutest puppy-dog face that I have ever seen. I look at him sternly.

“No, but if you’re nice to me, it can stay in your room when we get back to London.” He pouts at the first part but the second made his face brighten. I chuckle at his cuteness. Having finally wrapped and packed everything from the living room we sit down on the sofa for a well-earned break, I cuddle into Niall’s shoulder and close my eyes.

I wake to a soft voice gently calling my name.

“Mia, Mia it’s time to get up, your parents and my dad packed everything into the car, we need to leave soon.” I keep my eyes closed and let out a small groan causing Niall to chuckle. “I know, I don’t really want to be awake at 3am but we can sleep on the plane.” I slowly open my eyes and pout at Niall causing him to chuckle again. “Come on, let’s go and get in the car and then you can sleep on my shoulder in the car.” I continue to pout but nod my head slowly, why do flights always have to be at such obscure times? Honestly, haven’t they ever heard of ‘daylight’ or did someone only tell them about ‘moonlight’? I don’t think that I have ever got on a plane when the sun is still up. Niall offers me his hand to help me to get up, I take it and slowly begin to walk towards the front door for the last time. I follow Niall out of the front door and walk to the street where the car is waiting with the engine on. There’s a ‘to let’ sign on display and I turn to look at the house one more time before getting into the car after Niall. Even after all that has happened in that house, I will still miss it and all of the happy memories that I have made with Niall there.
