And All Your Little Things [Niall Horan]

Chapter 32: Moving In

"Hey honey, how are you feeling?" My mom says, cracking my door open a bit.

"I think I'm feeling better. But it might come back." I say, trying to figure out if the icky feeling is still in my stomach.

"Do you want me to get you anything?" She asks with a smile. 

"Um, no, I don't think so." I say as I stand up and walk in to my bathroom. "I'm gonna take a shower." I shout out to her.

"Ok, I'm going to go change into some comfortable clothes."

I turn on the water, getting it to the perfect temperature and then step in.

After my shower, I look trough my room, trying to find a clean outfit. After about ten minutes of searching through my entire, very empty room, I learn I have no clean clothes here. I groan and rush into my mom's room with a towel around me.

"Mom, I don't have any clothes here and I need something clean to wear. What should I do?"

My mom opens her walk in closet and disappears. She walks back out with one of her smallest pieces of clothing. She hands me the hanger that holds a red dress. It's short with a very low v-neck. 

"Alright, thanks I guess." I say and go back to my room.

I text Niall and then start squeezing into the dress.

Hey, can you come pick me up. I don't want to trouble my mom, but I want to go set up my apartment.

After fiddling with getting the dress on, I go around my room and grab the small remaining things that are going with me to my apartment.

I check my phone and see Niall responded.

Be over there in about half an hour 

I smile and slip my phone into my backpack. I take one more look around my room, making sure I haven't forgot anything. I sigh, looking around at the room I've lived in for the last three years. I feel a small tear roll down my cheek. I rub it with the back of my hand and close my door.

I go out to the living room, sit on the couch, and pull out my phone again. I scroll through twitter for about twenty minutes. I look at the time and decide to go sit outside on the porch swing. After about fifteen minutes of swinging back and forth on the porch swing, Niall pulls into the driveway. He gets out of his car and helps me into the passenger side.

His eyes pop out of his head as he sees me. "Um, what's with the dress?"

"Well, someone took all my clothes to my apartment, so I had nothing else to wear. You don't like it?" I tease.

"No, I absolutely love it! It just doesn't seem like you to wear that fancy of a dress for such a small occasion." He says, eyeing the v-neck area of the dress.

"Niall James Horan!" I scold him and throw my hands over my chest.

"Sorry." He blushes

"Thanks for picking me up by the way. I'm gonna try to get a car this year so that I don't have to try to get rides all the time." 

"I don't mind! I love spending time with you!" He smiles and takes my hand, with his other hand on the wheel. 

After about twenty five minutes, Niall pulls up to the apartment complex.

"Do you wanna come in?"

"I would love to, but I have to get up early tomorrow. We're working on the new album, so the lads and I are supposed to be in early tomorrow." He frowns.

"Well, I guess I'll see ya soon then." I say as I hug him from the passenger seat.

"I love you." He says.

"Love you too." I smile and hop out of the car, going up to my apartment.

"Hey Allissa." I smile at the landlord who is siting in her chair in her office.

"Hey Allie." She smiles and sits up from her chair. 

"How've you been?" I smile.

"I've been really busy, how about you?" 

"I was sick. I'm going to go upstairs and lay down. See ya later." I close her office door softly behind me and head up to my apartment.

I open the door to see boxes piled around the apartment and a huge Welcome Home banner pinned across the living room. I climb over the boxes into my room and collapse on the bed. I look around for blankets, but I can't find the box that I marked 'bedding'.

I put my feet down on the carpet and decide I should start unpacking. I look down at the boxes at my feet. As soon as I open the boxes, I lose my motivation. I look around for the bedding box and finally find it in the kitchen. I pull out some blankets and pillows and go back to the bedroom. I throw the pillows on the bed and then put my blankets over my body.

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry this chapter is so short, I usually try to make it at least 1,000 words, but my friends were asking me to update and I just didn't really know how to continue it. So WWA Tour started today!!! And that stupid fake livestream got me so mad. Anyways, I have to go to bed and get my dog put away. 

Love y'all!
