Niall's Point of View

I made my way into the living room and sat down on one of the settees. Oh it's still so comfortable. Mum left the living room and went into the kitchen. Liam sat down next me and I let my head fall to his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around me and kissed my forehead.

"You hungry? It's about lunch time now." He asked. He took out his phone and hummed in agreement. 13:28 the time read.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I think I just want to relax for a bit." I said, trying to put the food to one side. 

"Anything for you, mister." He says and shifts about to get more comfortable. I soon drift back to sleep.

Unfortunately, it wasn't for long as soon there were multiple knocks coming from the front door which jolted me awake. "I hate people." I mutter and get up from where I was sleeping. Liam was on his phone doing god knows what. 

"Hmmm..." 

I walked to the door and opened it to see Harry, Louis and Zayn smiling brightly at me.

"Niall!" They shouted in unison. I jumped at how loud they were and rubbed my eyes.

"Hi there." I said and moved to the side of the door to let them in. 

"Yay you're home!" Harry said and hugged me. Then Louis hugged me and finally Zayn. 

"I know. I got back like an hour or so ago." I told them and followed them into the living room.

"Hey Liam." Louis greeted and the others said hey or hi to him as well. 

"HEY MRS H!" Louis shouted to her. 

"Hi boys!" She yelled back. 

"How you doing?" Zayn asked. 

"Better now I'm home. Li and I are going to the park later anyway. Wanna come?" 

"Sure! It's a beautiful day so-to-be evening." He says.

"Wait, what's the time now?" I ask.

"About 4." Harry replied. He checks his phone. "4 o' 5."

"Damn. Okay then maybe I got back 3 ish hours ago." I shrug.

"What time do you want to get going, Ni?" Liam asks me. 

"Up to you." I say.

"We could go now if you want?" 

"Sure. Let me just get changed." I tell them and run upstairs and back to my room. Oh, my room. Actually my  room. I remember where everything is still. I felt my heart ache when I saw my guitar on my bed. 

But that'll have to wait for later. I change into some denim jeans and a blue polo shirt then put a pair of green converses on. Nothing much really. 

I run back down the stairs, nearly tripping over a few times but eh, I managed.

"Okay I'm ready." I said, panting. "I flipping hate stairs."

"I think everyone does." Louis shrugs and we head for the door. 

"Be back for 6!" Mum shouts as I shut the door behind everyone. I held Liam's hand as we walked in silence to the park. The sun felt like a blanket on my skin and I don't know why but it just felt cuddly. Just as I remembered, the park was not too far away and as usual, it was populated quite a bit with children and adults and a few elderly people jotted here and there.
