Silently in Love [Niall Horan]

Chapter Seven

Guess who's birthday is in two days?

That's the text I woke up to. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and sat up in my bed.

Yours?

Nope! Mine was in September, silly. It's yours!!

I sat up straighter, looking at the calendar. It was the 16th, two days before my birthday.

Oh.. you're right.

Do you want to hang out today? We can go see the boys again?

Um.. okay.

I'll be there in an hour to pick you up.

I put my phone down, rubbing my hands over my face. The other boys were nice, but I didn't know if I was as comfortable around them as I was with Niall. I jumped a little when I saw my mother at the door.

You look a bit stressed out, she signed, Everything okay?

I shrugged, Niall wants me hang out with his friends and I don't know if I'll be as comfortable around them.

Just be yourself. Niall's really sweet so his friends must be.

I smiled and reached forward, hugging her. She patted me on the shoulder, Get dressed, don't want to keep him waiting.

I got up from the bed when she left and went to my closet. Okay, I was meeting his friends so maybe I should dress nice..? I shook my head and reached for a long-sleeved shirt and jeans. I was pulling on my shoes just as my mother came into my room.

"He's here!" She mouthed. I could tell she was excited, I just didn't know what for. And she actually didn't sign it. I nodded and grabbed my phone before leaving.

I met Niall downstairs and he smiled before hugging me, "Hey."

I smiled and waved at my mother before leaving, she still looked excited. Niall led me over to his car and I got in, watching as he jogged to the other side of the car. He was wearing a beanie and a sweater and he just looked really cute.

When he got in, I made the awesome decision to look out the window. I almost freaked. I hadn't brushed my hair. It was still in that stupid ponytail from this morning. I groaned silently and took it out of the ponytail, running my fingers through it.

It was still somewhat straight from when I messed around with the hair straightener last night. After I was satisfied with it, I pulled my hair up again. A hand gripped my wrist before I could grab my hair tie.

"Can you.. uh leave it down. It's pretty," Niall mouthed. I slowly lowered my hand and nodded, putting my hands in my lap. Niall smiled and rested his arm on the console.

I looked over at him, seeing his lips moving. I thought he was talking to me, but then I noticed that he was bobbing his head. He was listening to music. I frowned and looked out the window. It was times like this that I wished that I could hear. If I could hear, things would be so much better.

Niall suddenly tapped me on the arm and I looked at him. We're here.

Sometimes Niall confused me. He would speak regularly but then switch over to signing. I didn't mind, but sometimes it was confusing.

I got out and Niall walked with me up to the door. Just like last time, I stood behind him. He walked in and I saw him throw out hand gestures.

The same boys I saw before came up and I cautiously moved to the side. The black headed one, Zayn, smiled and reached out to hug me. I accepted it, much to Niall's surprise, and awkwardly patted his back. All of a sudden, I felt more arms around me. They were all hugging me.

It became a little awkward so I pulled away and smiled at everyone, going back to Niall's side. His hand rested on my waist and he gave me a big smile. I knew he was happy that I was on the road to getting comfortable with them.

Maybe making some new friends wouldn't be that bad.

Alright so I decided to update this since it's been a while ((since september wow)) and I promised someone that I would so yAY. I'm sorry if it was really bad ((it's only 700 words I'm really ashamed)) it's 12:37 a.m. and I'm watching friends and I'm really distracted so again, I'm sorry. Hope you liked it.
