Chapter 29

Previously in When Love Conquers Two

Sarah and Niall arrive in Ireland for the Holidays. They find out that Harry is at the hospital with Louis for his health and will keep them up to date. Sarah meets Niall's parents the first formal time. She also records a video for her channel, signing Broken Home by Five Seconds of Summer and updating her viewers. Sarah tries to figure out why she fought Ray and think about Niall's reaction from Alvin telling him that she compared Niall to him. 
--------------------------------------------------------------

After 4 long hours of worrying, it's finally time to go to dinner with Niall's parents. We take separate cars because Niall wants to show me around town afterwards. So we follow Niall's parents to the restaurant. I keep bouncing my knee and tapping my fingers to try to release some of the nerves. "Would you relax?" Niall chuckles. "I can't help it. What if after this, your mom realizes that I'm not good enough for you or she hates me?" I say completely worried. Niall puts his hand on top of mine. "My mum is going to love you. She's just a little worried because we got engaged so soon and we're so young, but she'll realize how perfect you are for me. And even if she doesn't love you, it doesn't matter. I love you no matter what and nothing can change the fact that I want to marry you," he says. I look over at him. He still wants to marry me after what Alvin told him? He's either just saying that to calm me down or he truly means it. "I love you too," I say with a smile. Niall holds my hand the rest of the way there. Thank god he does because it calms me down. So what if his parents don't like me. My parents hate him and he doesn't care. So I shouldn't care if his parents hate me. Yea, I'm a huge mess and my past has come back to haunt the both of us countless times, but he still loves me. 

We pull up to a small Irish restaurant. It's nothing too fancy, just a small enough place that we won't get bombarded with fans or paparazzi. We get out of the car and walk into the restaurant hand in hand. I'm incredibly nervous to talk to Niall's parents more, but Niall is able to get me out of my head. We're taken to a booth towards the back, out of cite from the door. I go in first into the booth and Niall sits next to me, while Maura sits across from me with Bobby next to her. My leg's bouncing like crazy under the table. Dear god am I nervous. After the waiter comes over and takes our drink orders, Maura says, "how's the wedding planning going?" I look over at Niall as if to tell him to speak. I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing if I speak right now. "It's getting there. Kind of hard because of everything that's been going on, but Sarah's been really on top of everything," Niall says as I look back at his parents. "Well, we're always here to help if you two need anything," Bobby says. Dinner goes surprisingly well. Well, up until we're finishing dinner.

"So Sarah, I hear you're in a new band," Maura says. I nod my head, "Torn Silent, yea." "Being in a new band must be hard, especially with planning the wedding," she says. I have a gut feeling on what her next statement is going to be, but I respond calmly anyways, "it is, but Niall is extremely helpful with everything." Maura then asks what I exactly new what she was going to ask, "how do you plan on having a successful marriage with this band starting up?" Niall and Bobby are completely shocked and upset with her question. "Mum!" Niall says clearly upset. "What? It's just a question," she says like she meant no harm. "It's fine, Ni," I say putting my hand on his. "Ma'am, I know what you're thinking. That we're too young and that it'll never work with our crazy lives. I know we're young. And I know that we have insane lives, but your son is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love him so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I know you think he deserves better. I don't blame you for thinking that, but no matter what bullshit is thrown our way, he stays by my side," I say holding Niall's hand. I feel Niall squeeze my hand. I look over at Niall and smile at him and he smiles back at me. "Maura, look at them. They're so in love. Our little boy is all grown up and has found the one. We can't be in the way of them spending the rest of their life together," Bobby says quietly to Maura. The two of us look at Maura. "Do you love her?" Maura asks Niall. "With every fiber of my being," Niall says with a smile. "Well, if she makes you happy then she makes me happy," she says with a smile. I smile at Maura.

After we finish up at the restaurant, we head to our separate cars. I hold Niall's hand as we head over. "Be home by midnight, you two," Bobby says to us as we get by the cars, we parked next to each other. "We will, dad," Niall says as he openes my door. I climb in. He goes around to the other side. After he gets in he starts the car. I let out a sigh. I'm not sure if its of relief or not. This evening could've went worse. Thankfully, Niall and Bobby had my back. I look out the window as Niall starts to drive. I feel Niall's hand on mine. "You okay?" Niall asks. I look over at him, "yea, just thinking about what happened." I look back down at our hands. He rubs my hand calming me down, "it's okay. I don't care if my mum doesn't like you. I love you with all of my heart and all I want to do is spend the rest of my life with you." I look over at him with a smile, "I love you too." He looks over at me before looking back at the road. My phone rings before either of us can say anything else. I look and see it's Louis. I quickly answer it, "hey, Lou." His thick Doncaster accent rings through the phone, "hey, babe. How's Ireland?" "It's great here. We actually just got finished with dinner," I say. "Oh well, perfect timing then. I have to talk to you. It's about Harry," Louis says. My stomach goes in knots. "Is he okay?" I say with panic in my voice. "He's dehydrated. The doctor wants him to stay in the hospital for a couple nights," he pauses. "Sarah, the doctor said Harry's anorexic. Well not completely, but he's starting to. I'm scared, Sarah. I can't lose him," he says like he's on the verge of tears. "He'll be okay, Lou. You won't lose him. Can you put him on?" I say trying to stay calm. "Yea sure," he says. I look over at Niall who squeezes my hand. I look out the windshield as I hear rustling and Harry and Louis on the other end whispering. I hear a door close on the other end and Harry's British accent come through the phone, "hey, Sarah." His voice sounds weak and exhausted like he just woke up. "Hey, Haz. Louis filled me in on what the doctor said. What's going on?" I say worried. Harry bursts into tears, "I can't take it anymore, Sarah." I'm confused and completely worried. "Can't take what?" I ask. "Everything. I-I don't even know how to explain it. All I know is that it hurts and I don't know how to stop it," he says through tears. "Hey, it's okay. It'll be okay, Harry. Take deep breaths and think of something that makes you happy," I say as calm as I can. I hear Harry start to calm down. "Get Louis to come back in. You don't even need to say anything to him. Just hold onto him. Having him there will help you. When you're ready, explain to him what's wrong," I say once he's a little better. "I will," Harry says. "Do you want me to come back?" I ask. "No, you stay there with Niall. Enjoy a few days away from the public eye. I got Louis here, I'll be okay eventually," he says. "Alright, have Louis call me if anything happens," I say. "I will," he says. We say goodbye after that. I look down at my hand that's intertwined with Niall's. I stay quiet as Niall stops the car. He shuts the car off. He gets out of the car. I hear my door open. "Hey, what's wrong?" I hear an Irish accent ask. "Harry's dehydrated and anorexic," I say quietly. "Hey, look at me," he says. I look up at him with tears in my eyes. "Oh Sar, come here," Niall says ckearly upset seeing me upset. I get out of the car and hug him. That's when the tears start falling. "He's going to be okay. He's getting help. Harry will be okay," Niall whispers. We stay like that for a while, me hugging him like my life depends on it and him hugging me like he doesn't want me to break.
