If I'm Louder, Would You See Me? (Niall Horan Fan Fic)

Chapter 7: My Future Step-Father

*Blaire’s POV*

This day was the most awkward day of all awkward days in the history of awkward days. I haven’t heard even a word from Zayn and Niall was ignoring me the whole day too. I just lost two of my best friends.

When the bell rang, every one ran out of the room and headed out to either their group of friends or outside the campus to go home. I took my time walking down the hallways going to our meeting place outside. When I went outside, everyone was there already including Niall and Kate.

“And she lives!” Louis exclaimed as he ran over to me and he gave me a tight hug. “Although you walk like a zombie.” He said after he let go of our hug. Everyone laughed and I walked up to them.

“So, what did I miss?” I asked.

“Nothing much, really. We were just planning our carnival trip this Saturday.” Liam said.

“We’re going to the carnival this Saturday?!” I shouted excitedly as I was jumping up and down.

“Well someone’s very excited.” Louis said while laughing at me. “Ok, calm down now. We’re getting dizzy.” I calmed down and we continued to talk about our mini-trip to the carnival this Saturday. After 30 minutes, Niall and Kate got up and told us that they have to leave already.

“It’s still early. Can’t you guys stay any longer?” Harry begged Niall.

“We’d love to stay but Kate needs to go home already. Her dad is bringing her somewhere tonight for dinner.” Niall replied. “See you guys, tomorrow!”

“Bye, Nialler!” Liam said and then he hugged him followed by Harry and then Louis. Zayn did not even move from his seat and I did not look at him the whole time they were saying their goodbyes. Jio, Lucy and Eleanor gave him a hug and then they left.

Second day in a row that he won’t walk home with me, well that does not surprise me. I mean I just confessed to my best friend that I liked him and then he likes another girl. Now I know how Zayn feels and it sucks. Why is life so complicated?

 We finished discussing our trip so we decided to talk about random things until I got a text message from my mum saying:

 Sweetie, can you come home now? We’re going out for dinner.

 I stood up and grabbed my bag and then I said my goodbyes to everyone. Zayn just looked up at me and then he smiled then he continued what he was doing. Whenever I see Zayn like this, guilt is building in my stomach; it’s like it's eating me slowly.

 I walked home alone just like how I walked to school earlier this morning. When I arrived at my house, Mom was already dressed up. “Where are we going and what’s happening?” I asked my mom curiously.

 “Go and dress-up nicely. You’re finally going to meet your step-father.” She said, answering my question.

 Oh great, I thought. “Since when did you have a boyfriend?”

“Since last week.”

“and you’re already thinking of marrying the guy?!” I asked, shocked.

“Well he’s a nice guy, he goes to work with me and then he’s also a single parent; his wife died in a car accident last year and I don’t see anything wrong with him so why not?” My mom said. “Now go and dress up! We don’t want to be late.”

I sighed then I walked slowly to my room and picked out a nice outfit. I wore my blue bandeau dress with a brown belt around my waist, my white blazer and my white platform boots. My brown bead cuff, brown feather earring and my brown satchel complemented my belt and pretty much my whole outfit.

I went down to see my mom waiting impatiently. “Finally! Let’s go!!” My mom exclaimed. “Geez, mum, I've been up there for just like 5 minutes. Excited much?” I asked then I followed her to her car outside.

We made our way to this fancy restaurant. Wow, my future step-dad sure has money, unless he would let my mom pay this date, I thought. We walked inside the restaurant and then a receptionist walked up to us. “Table for 2, ma’am?” She asked.

“No, we’re here with Mr. Miller, Justin Miller.” My mom said.

Miller?!, I thought. Kate’s last name is Miller. No, that can’t be possible. There are millions of people with the last name, Miller; her father’s not the only Miller here in Ireland, right? I tried to think positive that my future step-dad is not Kate’s dad. I don’t want Kate to be my step-sister.

I started to look around the restaurant and I did not see a Kate anywhere, that is a good sign, right? We walked to this table in the middle of the restaurant and a man went up to my mom and gave her a peck on the lips then a hug then he walked up to me and said “You must be Blaire.” He said then he stuck his hand out for a hand shake. I smiled at him and shook his hand. We took our seats and a waiter came up to us and we ordered.

After the waiter left, I heard a voice coming from my back. “You must be Mrs. Nicole Davis, my dad talks about you almost every time.” She said but I did not look back, I was scared to see who the girl was. She went up to my mum and hugged her. I did not see her face because her back was facing me then she turned to me after she let go of my mum, Oh shit. It was Kate!

“Hey Blaire!” she said then she sat down beside me. We were seated on a circular table so our seating arrangement was: me, Kate, Justin and my mom.

“You two know each other?” My mom asked.

“Yeah, we go to school together!” Kate replied.

“Yeah” I said under my breath and then I sighed.

I ate my dinner silently while the three of them talked. My mom was getting to know her future step-daughter and I did not even give a damn about my future step-father. Out of all the guys that live here in Ireland why does my mom have to pick Kate’s dad?! Well this is day is the most amazing day EVER. NOT!
