More Than Expected-A One Direction Fan Fiction {Completed}

Chapter Thirteen xCate

"H-hi mum!"I said awkwardly as I put my hand on the back of my head. I was in so much trouble. SO much trouble.

"Liah Renee Sheffield! What on earth is going on!?" I winced. She was pissed. She only used my full name when I was in huge trouble.

"Well....uhm...we all came here after the meeting thing and then everyone showed up! I'm so sorry mum. I didn't tell anyone our address I swear! I have no clu-"I stopped because I knew who had given it out. Dalton.

""Where's everone else?"she asked, hands on her hips. I scratched my head as I turned around to see a deserted living room. Cowards. I looked back at her and smiled sheepishly.

"Not sure..."

"Well who is here?"she asked.

"Alex, Louis, Niall, Harry, Liam, and Zayn."I said quickly.

"You brought boys back to our house!?While you're home alone!? Liah! If it was just Alex I wouldn't be mad! But five boys!? And why were the people shouting 'Niah!Niah!'?" I felt my jaw drop open. Shit.

"Uh....well...I kinda...may be dating Niall....."My voice got quicker and quieter at the end. I thought mum was going to explode.

"Liah!"she shouted.

"Yeah mum?"I asked like a little kid.

"You are in so much trouble."Her voice went flat. Not good. "We'll talk later."

"Mum, I'm so sorry but please listen to me! Please?"she fixed me with her green eyes."Mum, the whole me and Niall thing, that happened just today! And I-I think I can explain the whole address thing. Dalton gave it out. He's been sabatoging everything."

"Oh that was the other thing. I heard today that you admitted that he abused you!? All those times that you said you got the cuts and bruises from being outside or from p.e!? Liah!" Then she suprised me by smothering me in a hug.

"Mum?I can't breathe. Please let go."I managed to choke out.

"Why didn't you tell me!?"she was flustered I could tell. I saw tears brimming in her eyes.

"No, no, no. No. Mum don't cry. Don't you dare. I didn't tell you because....because I knew you'd act like this. I'm stronger than you think. I ended things with him. And he's out of my life."Lies. I mentally kicked myself for admitting it.

"Mrs. Sheffield?"I heard Niall say. I turned around to see him walking from behind a corner scratching the back of his head. She watched him intently. "I know this looks kind of bad. The whole being over here thing. And I know you're probably going to tell me that you never want me to ever see Liah again because of what Dalton did. But-"he paused and met my eyes for a second. I looked at him confused. Then he continued,"Hear me out here ma'am please. I'll never do anything to hurt you or Liah. She means everything to me and I-"he cleared his throat quickly and met my eyes again this time holding my gaze."And...I love her." 

I looked at my mom. She was still watching him. I saw her gaze soften. "You know....I believe you. I never believed Dalton when he said that he loved Liah. I never did....so....welcome to the family." I ran over and hugged her tightly.

"Thanks mum. You're smashing. I love you."I whispered. She hugged me back then released me. I saw everyone else come out from behind the corner. Then Harry jumped on Niall's back and ruffled his hair laughing. Then Zayn joined Harry and the three of them fell into a pile of arms and legs. Niall was laughing.

"Good job mate!"Zayn said sitting down by Niall on the floor. Harry sat ontop of Niall's stomach.

"Little Nialler's in love!"he exclaimed falling dramatically off of Niall and onto Zayn. I rolled my eyes and helped Niall up. Alex and Louis stood next to eachother, Louis with his arm around her waist. I smiled at them. Alex smiled back. I was so happy I can't even describe it. Niall hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek. I blushed scarlet only because my mum was watching. Or so I thought. She had gone into her bedroom, probably to get some work done. There was a knock at the door.
