The Irish Lad: A One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter 19

Katie's POV

I forced a smile as we walked to where we would be parting from Aileen. It was Friday, the end of the week, and she was traveling back to Mullingar. Zayn had her wrapped up in his arms. He would be coming back with Niall that last week before Leena and I left for uni, but so early in a relationship, I knew it must be hard for the two of them.

Leena broke away from Zayn, and I broke away from Niall, and we crashed into each other. I burrowed my head into the crook of hr neck, and I felt the tears stream down my face. I pulled back and looked at her. "Oh, Katie, don't cry! I'll see you in a week!"

"Then why don't you stop crying!" I told her.

"I don't know! You're like my third sister, dear!"

"You're like my only sister!" I hugged her tight. "Alright, enough of this shit." I pulled away and put my hands on her shoulders. "I am going to see you in a week. We will go and buy a ton of useless shit to put in our dorm at college, and we'll go out to our favorite pubs, and then two weeks later, Niall and Zayn will be with in Mullingar with us. And we'll have fun and play football and drink real beer and it'll all be perfect. Everything we've ever wanted. I promise."

"God, that's sounds absolutely perfect." She hugged me. "I love you, Cathleen O'Neill."

"Back at you, sister." She went and kissed and hugged Zayn a final time. She gave a final wave before boarding the plane. "Alright boys. And Katie. Let's get to our gate." Paul told us, and we made our way to the gate where we were departing to Canada.

Some hours later, I zipped up my Addidas track jacket and pulled on my Toms that were on the floor. We got off the plane and I put on my sunglasses. We got to the hotel and crashed into bed, determined to sleep until the next morning.

Niall and I got up the next morning and got dressed. I put on a pair of jeans and nude heels with a white pin-striped pink shirt. I left my hair down. My aunt, who lived here in Canada, was dropping off my three cousins to spend the day with Niall and I. We were panning on taking them out to lunch and going to a local building that a had a race track, bounce houses and such. We went down to the lobby, where we woould be meeting them.

Almost as soon as we got down there, my aunt appeared with my cousins. There were three girls; we had Emily,14,and the twins, Nora and Nellie, both 6. I outstretched my arms to my Aunt Carly.

"Aunt Carly! I haven't seen you in so long!" I hugged her.

"Same to you, dear, you look wonderful!"She tolde me."Is this Niall?"

"Yes, Aunt Carly, this is my boyfriend, Niall Horan." She shook Niall's hand.

"Alright, I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got a meeting to get to, so take care of the girls for me. There's a lot of paparazzi outside, will they be alright?" Aunt Carly sounded worried.

"Yes, Niall and I have it under control. The girls'll be fine. I promise. We'll drop them off at your house tonight." She nodded and hugged the girls one last time before leaving. I turned to them.

"Who wants to go to lunch?"

-----------------

We were walking back to the hotel and stopped at the corner. The paps and fans had multiplied by what seemed like a thousand. I stopped cold and looked to Niall. "What're we going to do? The twins can't walk through that".

"Umm. We'll each carry one of the twins." He picked up Nellie.

"Nellie, hide your face, I don't want you to go blind." I told her, and she buried her face in Niall's neck, and Nora did the same with me. I told Emily to stay close by, and we pushed through the paps to the lobby, finally safe.
