Falling for the Stars

Chapter 2

I felt some one shake me gently.

"Alanna. Honey, wake up. We're here." I opened my eyes to see my grandmother and Harry looking over me. As we walked into the station, my grandmother ran toward a person I guessed was her niece. Harry and I looked at eachother confused. My grandmother came over with the woman and a boy right next to her.

"Alanna, this is my niece, Bridget." My grandmother told me. I just gave her a kind simle.

"Well it's nice to meet you Alanna. You look just like your mother. But I didn't know you had a brother." Before I could say anything my grandmother was already telling her about Harry.

"Oh I'm sorry." She apologized. I just nodded. She introduced us to Niall, her son.

"Hello I'm Niall" He told us. Harry was the next one to speak.

"Hi I'm Harry and this is Alanna." We just smiled at eachother. 

The car ride to Bridget's house seemed like ages. I was smushed between Harry and Niall. Bridget and my grandmother in the front. When we pulled up to her house I saw a small park that reminded me of the park I have next to mine. When we walked inside it was warm compared to the freezing temperture outside. Niall led us up to his room. His room was a light blue with the Irish flag on one wall. He had a small tv in the corner of his room and a guitar right next to it.

"Well you can sit on the bed, on that beanbag, or on the floor whatever is more comfortable." He told us. Usually I was never really shy unless it came to Harry, but today I was. I just sat on the bed next to Harry.

"Would you like something to eat or drink?" Niall asked.

"Ummm could I have some water please?" Harry asked. Niall nodded then looked at me. I just shook my head. Soon it was just me and Harry. 

"Your family looks really nice." He told me. I just gave a little smile.

"Alanna what's wrong?" Harry looked at me.

"I don't know. I'm not usually shy like this." I said.

"Well you can tell me anything Alanna." Harry reassured me.

"Ok here's your water." Niall handed it to Harry.

"So do you guys know how to play guitar?" We both shook our heads.

"Ok then. How about some video games then?" He asked Harry and I. Harry nodded.

"I don't mind." I said. They played video games while I looked out the window. 

"NIALL! ALANNA! HARRY!!!" We heard some one shout from down stairs. We walked down stairs.

"Yes Mum??" Niall asked annoyed.

"It's snowing!" she said as we ran to the nearest window with big smiles on our faces.

"Would you kids like to go to the park and play in the snow?" Bridget asked us.

We nodded our heads eagerly. We put on our coats and ran down to the park. 

We had a snowball fight where I lost, made a snowman that was lop-sided, and snow angels that came out pretty good. We chased eachother around the park. It felt like we knew eachother for ages.

As we walked back inside we smelled hot chocolate. We ran to kitchen and drank it all up. But then came the sad part.... saying goodbye. We drove to the train station laughing and smiling remembering everything we did that day. As we said good bye to Niall and Bridget I couldn't help but laugh they were both children. They skipped out of the train station. On the ride back, Harry and I told my grandmother everything we did she just laughed.

"I can tell you kids won't give up on your childhood." She said as she hugged us both.

Even though Harry wasn't her grandchild, she still trreated him like it and I loved her for that.
