Chapter 3

Niall's POV

Once I had gotten onto the airplane I had fallen asleep.

The entire way from Dublin to Philadelphia I listened to music and dozed off many times too.

I had been woken by somebody tapping my shoulder telling me to wake up.

At first I was taken by surprise that the person who was telling me to was a late 20s year old woman with long blonde hair.

I told her a thank you and got out of my seat and found my bag and carried it to where you can get extra luggage.

I prayed to God thank you that nobody had broke or took my guitar case because I figured that would be what I was doing all summer at my cousins vacation home.

I bet I know what your thinking.

Why the entire summer without your parents?

Well my brother was at a friends house all summer and that was because our mum was a total idiot. She and our dad split up when I was 3 and my brother Greg was 6 years old.

It was mainly because my my mum is freako.

Of course we still had to live with her because my dad passed away when I was about 7 which was heartbreaking.

I was born in my dads hometown Mullingar, Ireland.

But after my dad passing away we all moved to Dublin.

We moved to a rather decent part of Dublin but the kids in our neighborhood were plain mean.

My mum didn't care of course, as she never does.

After living in Dublin for a while I got used to it. But at first I was majorly bullied from some kids.

Actually, every kid. I had no friends. None at all.

From 7 to about when I was 11 everyone hated me.

I would sit in my room at night and be alone.

Whilst I would be a total loser.

Greg actually had friends. And his friends were rather nice.

But one night I was in Greg and my room one night sitting on my bed. Who knows what I was doing.

But suddenly Greg and his friend Dean Smith came in the room with an acoustic guitar. Greg had apparently been learning from Dean how to play, but Greg was terrible at it. Greg was absolutely good at everything. Him and I both played in the town Football (Soccer for ya'll Americans) league. I was okay. But Greg was amazing. Everyone cheered him on all the time. He was a total favorite of my mother.

But it was surprising how bad he was suddenly with something.

Dean was trying to help with Greg and he couldn't do it.

Finally Dean gave up with Greg and got sort of "done with it".

Dean started to flip out about it and said out of the blue, "I bet I could teach your little brother how to play it better than you!!"

Gregg didn't get hurt by this, but took it more as a challenge.

"OKAY THEN TEACH HIM DEAN!!" Greg hissed whilst pointing at me.

I was a shy quiet little boy at the time but I actually said something.

"Teach me Dean." I said.

After about 6 months of hour long sessions Tuesdays after school, with Dean, I learned how to play guitar.

At eleven years of age, I finally found a talent besides football.

Of course Greg was furious the first time I played in front of my mum.

Surprisingly she was interested. She actually was proud of something I did by myself. And I was proud.

Really proud.

After people found out about my talent, people actually talked to me.

It felt weird. For an actual person to say something to me.

I started to mature more and more.

Before I had been that little kid who was lost in the world and scribbled pictures in a small notebook, and slept too much.

Now, I was, cool?

It was really weird you know?

Girls started talking to me too. That was weird.

I had always since the day I met her when I was 7 till around 10 liked a girl around my age named Rosie.

She was a cute, talkative girl who would become friends with anybody.

Yeah, anybody except me.

She even made friends with Greg. But hated me. The kid with the dirty hand me downs.

When I was 12 she talked to me, and was actually being nice. Which really scared me. She even told me to come to her house and play her some tunes. But after all the pain for about 5 years I didn't want to even talk to her.

But it was really weird, girls flirting with me, for the first time.

I made new friends and some really good ones too. I made this one really good friend who moved from England to Dublin, due to his dads job. I became friends with his when I was about 12.

His name was Liam Payne, and was so much fun.

Liam himself had been sort of an out cast at his old school too, but had decided to change when he came here.

I tried to teach him how to play guitar, when I occasionally borrowed Dean's guitar, since I really couldn't afford one. But Liam really was terrible at it.

Me and Liam ended up growing up with each other basically.

When we were 13, we started to notice how much we liked girls.

Before school I would go to Liam's house a coupe of streets down and borrow his dads hair gel, and attempted to gel our hair and look good. She also borrowed his cologne.

We really started liking girls and I started to like a couple of them. So did Liam. Rosie seemed to fancy me slightly...... but who cares about her right?

Liam and I started dating them when we were 14. And we had many experiences.

Girlfriend after girlfriend, we started to loose control with dating them. by the end of year 10, Liam and I were the "hottest" boys of the school. We started not to date but hook up with them.

Girl after girl we brought home and maked out with, it was like we used all the girls in our entire school.

When we were 15, we started to realize it was wrong. Or at least Liam did.

Liam actually ended up with a girlfriend, like a real long term one when we were 16. Her name was Annie, and was perfect for Liam. She also was so sweet.

But i was still doing hook ups, till.... Faith.

Faith was the most incredible girl I had met yet, and was plain brilliant. I decided it was wrong to hook up, so I thought why don't I do what Liam is doing?

Me and Faith went out from the end of year 11, till a few weeks from this point.

It was terrible what my little Faith did to me I'll tell you.

I'll tell you that, what she did made me go to my aunt's this summer.

I'll also tell you this.

Never trust someone you think loves you.
