A Summer's Job (1D)

25:"Mom Lies"

Christina's POV

My mom just told me that my father, whom I thought was dead, was actually alive. I now find myself...angry. That's the immediate feeling that I felt when she told me. I was angry, she never told me, and how long had she known? Why didn't she tell me? I was confused.

"Mom," I tried controlling my anger, "why didn't you tell me?"

"I just couldn't find the right time honey, I swear." she told me.

"How long did you know he was alive?" I asked.

"Since they took you to the hospital, before you woke up." she answers.

"Where is he?" I now questioned.

"He's in a veteran's home." she says, looking down.

"Which one?" it felt like I was a cop interrogating a witness.

"Sherville Veteran House." she spoke.

"Mom!" I shouted, "why there? You know that place never let's anyone visit, ever!"

"I'm sorry, but I wanted to put him in the best place their is!"she defends.

"How long is he staying there and did you tell him your secret?" I asked.

"For the rest of his life," she tells me, "and yes I did tell him. He didn't take it too well, he wanted nothing to do with me. He even wanted a divorce."

"D-divorce?" tears were brimming along my eyes.

I couldn't take this anymore, so I just ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door shut, ignoring everyone yelling my name. I just wanted to be alone, my life was currently swimming in a shit load of drama. Literally.

Someone was knocking on my bedroom door in the middle of the night, but it didn't matter. I couldn't sleep, maybe I just needed to talk to someone. I opened the door and saw Niall standing there.

"Hey," I greeted, "what are you doing here?"

"I'm going to take you out," he replied, "you seem very stressful."

"Where are we going to go in the middle of the night?" I raised my eyebrow.

"You'll see." he winked and grabbed my hand.

-

"A water park?" I gave Niall a confused look.

"This is a perfect place to just chill out," he defended, "c'mon, you'll have fun."

"Aren't we going to get in trouble for sneaking in?" I asked.

"Hey, it's their fault that they left the fate open." he spoke.

"I'm sure the judge will be amused to hear that." I rolled my eyes.

"Hey, we aren't going to get arrested!" he silently shouted, "plus, they wouldn't dare to arrest Niall Horan from One Direction."

"Playing the famous card, eh?" I shook my head.

"Whatever." he muttered.

He started walking away so I called after him. "Hey! Where are you going?"

"To turn on the rides, duh." he chuckled.

I groaned and reluctantly followed him. I don't want to do this, what if we get in trouble? Hell, we will get in trouble. If I get arrested, it will be the day Niall Horan died.

-

"Ready?" Niall asked, and I gripped his waist tighter.

The water slide was pretty big and steep, and I was feeling nervous. "I'm not sure..."

"Don't think about," he assures, "just let go and have fun!"

I didn't respond because we started going down the slide. I started screaming and held him tighter, as the water splashed on my face. When we finally got to the end, we fell into the pool, the cold water splashing against my face.

"That was actually fun!" I clapped my hands, feeling very joyous.

"See? I told you so!" Niall exclaimed and I rolled my eyes.

"You didn't say anything before?" I teased him.

"What? Yes I did!" he looked offended.

"Uh no, I don't recall." I shook my head.

"Then you must have a very short memory..." he mumbled.

"Actually I have an average 4.5 GPO, so ha." I smirked.

"You seem like a bragger, but at least I am 1/5 of the biggest boy band in the world." he crossed his arms.

"What are you talking about? You're not from The Wanted." I joke.

"No, I was talking about One Direction." he rolled his eyes.

"I never heard of them." I shrug.

"Really?" he raised his eyebrows in an 'Are-You-Serious?' expression.

"Let's see," I tapped my chin, "nope."

"You're dating one of them!" he pretended to be mad.

"I am?!" I pretended to be excited, "who?"

"The cute Irish one!" he batted his eyelashes and I bursted out laughing.

"Oh you mean, Neil Horane?" I twirled my hair with my fingers.

"Wow, you sound like a carrot..." he commented.

"WTF? How do you know what a carrot sounds like?" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"It's this thing where our fans...you know what? Never mind." he gave up trying to explain it to me. The things people make up today...

"Okay then..."

"Hey, I have a question for you." he spoke up.

"Ask away." I grinned.

"Why didn't you like One Direction in the first place?" Niall asked.

I thought for a moment, trying to find an answer that won't insult him, 'cause you know, I'm in a relationship with one of them. "It wasn't particularly you guys, I just thought you were the ones I should blame."

"What are you talking about?" he asked me, his face in confusion.

"Well, I have a mini fandom called the 'Laylies' and um, Directioners sorta had a fight with them. Then, your fans started sending me hate a trended '#Christinaaintfame', which to me was stupid and hurt my feelings. So I just started not liking you guys." I explained.

(A/N-Just so you know, I am not saying that Directioners are mean, they are like one of the best fandoms/families I have been apart of. And I'm not saying they start fights with other fandoms all the time, so please don't be offended please.)

"Wow I didn't know, I'm sorry about that." Niall said sincerely.

"It's fine, it wasn't your fault," I say, "I should be sorry, I just blamed you guys when I shouldn't have. I was just mad."

"Well I don't think it will happen again." he weakly smiled.

I swam over to him, and wrapped my arms around his waist. I rested my head on his chest, and whispered, "Thank you."

"What for?" he asked, although he knew why.

"For taking me here and getting the stress out of me. I'm really relaxed now." I said.

"I would do anything for you..." he spoke, and kissed my forehead.

We got back to my house at four o'clock in the morning. I was really tired. We even have to wake up at nine, because we have to go back to London. Ugh, I know I'm going to be cranky. But I am thankful that Niall helped me, I really appreciate it. I appreciate him.

I snuggled into bed, trying to fall asleep considering I will only have five hours of it. Oh, those boys are probably going to give me trouble.

I knew they were it when they walked in..ha! Get it? No? Okay then, nobody said I have a sense of humor. And apparently, I'm a carrot. Don't know why, I hope Louis doesn't eat me. (A/N ok you have to admit, that was a good joke, or whatever.)

Within 20 minutes, I finally fell asleep, somehow dreaming of water parks.

I know this chapter is full of crap. This story has been sucking for the last few chapters, and I don't know why. Maybe I'll end it soon, I don't know. Keep reading, vote, and fan! xx
