Denial~ A Niall Horan Fan Fiction

Chapter 5

When I next woke, it was around 3:30 p.m., and Niall was telling me we had to go to the airport in a few minutes. I nodded and went to the bathroom and made sure I had everything packed, and fixed my makeup. I grabbed my purse, and luggage, and Niall grabbed his own and Olivias, and all three of us made our way out to Niall's car. He told me that the boys would all be there to say goodbye.

We were quiet and still waking up from our naps, so the ride was pretty silent. When we got there, we were guided through a separate terminal because Niall was famous, and we would have been swamped had we been out in the open. A security guard led us to the gate where the boys were waiting for us. Olivia ran into Harry's arms, and I laughed. I hugged all the boys, and when I was hugging Louis, he whispered to me, " Follow your heart." I looked at him confused, and he nodded toward Niall. I shook my head. 'What?' I mouthed. He looked away, and first class seats were called, so Olivia said goodbye to all the boys, and followed Niall and I onto the plane. Niall showed Olivia our seats, and told her to sit by the window, and I sat in the middle. Niall sat next to me, and patted my thigh. I was nervous about seeing my mom, but also excited.

The plane ride was only 45 minutes, so we weren't on there for very long. But somehow Olivia passed out. At least she wasn't being loud, like most kids I've seen on planes. She was actually very mature and polite for her age.

I rested my head on Nialls shoulder and saw he was answering fan questions on ask.fm. One of the fans asked for a selfie, so he turned on the camera, and took a selfie of me and him. I smiled wide and let my hair fall to over my bruised eye.

I just kind of zoned out for the rest of the plane ride. Niall's mom knew that we were coming tonight, so she was waiting for us at the airport when we got there, she pulled Niall and I into the biggest hug, and cried a little bit. I picked up Olivia, and introduced her.

" Olivia, this is Niall's mommy, you can call her Maura."

" Hello, Maura." Olivia said shyly.

Maura almost cried. " Hello, Olivia."

We all talked about the wedding while walking to Maura's car. Since I didnt bring the car seat, Olivia went without one, but she was old enough now, I'd just been paranoid. When we stepped into Nialls mom's house, I was attacked by my mom and twin sister, Isabella.

We hugged for awhile, and I introduced Olivia to everyone. She was a hit, they all loved her. Niall's grandmother colored with her, so the rest of us, meaning me, my mom, my sister, Niall, his mom, his step dad, and his father, all sat on the patio, and caught up.

" What happened to your face?" Isabella whispered to me.

"I'll tell you, mom, and Maura later, just remind me." I answered.

I sat down next to Niall, and Maura poured me a wine. I thanked her, and took a sip. We all talked about how everything was, ballet, Olivia, One Direction and their tour, all that. After a bit, Niall, Bobby, and Chris went to play some football.

" So... What happened to your face? Why are you bruised?" Isabella asked.

I sighed. " So awhile back Eric and I had been talking about having a child, but since I'm a dancer, I'd I just so recently started my career, I didn't want to quit, so I had the idea to surprise Eric by adopting a little girl, Olivia, and when he came home from work to find his girlfriend and a little girl in his kitchen, he kind of flipped. I told Olivia to go color in the guest room. And then Eric started yelling about how stupid I was, and that he didn't want kids, especially a girl, and he started... hitting me, and told me to get out, and he left. So I packed up my things and Olivia's, and we drove to Niall's. Niall saved me, he's letting Olivia and I live there. He's like a father to her." I smiled as I looked out to the yard where Niall was dribbling the ball and then kicking it to his step-dad.
