*Lizzy's point of view*
"Lizzy!"
I heard a familiar voice call my name. I turned around to see Niall running towards me. As I stopped, he ran over me. He almost knocked me over.
"Excited to see me Nialler?" I said jokingly with a smile on my face. There was always a smile on my face when I was around Niall. He just had this aura around him that made everyone smile.
"You know that I'm always excited to see you, Liz." he said while bringing me into a big bear hug. "Are you going to hang out with the boys and me?" his bright blue eyes burned into mine waiting for a reply eagerly.
"Of course Niall. Are you guys rehearsing tonight?" I asked excited to hear Niall sing. His singing voice always calmed me when I'm upset or angry at my mom. If I could even call her my mom. My mom was sent to jail when I was 6. I was sent to my aunt's house in England. I'm an American trying to live in an English world. My mom was always drunk. I remember seeing her sleeping on the couch drunk off her ass. Niall was my first friend that I had when I moved here. My father died before I was born.
Niall's voice brought me out of my daze. "Liz? Earth to Elizabeth."
What Niall said last is what brought me out of my daze. No one ever calls me Elizabeth. Everytime I hear someone call me Elizabeth, I hear my mother calling me while she's drunk. When she called me, I knew that I was going to be beat. No matter if I did something. She always beat me for no reason. "Niall James Horan! What did you say?!" I said angrily.
"Liz. I-I-I'm sorry. It just came out. Come here.", he said pulling me into a tight hug.
"You know that no one is to call me that." I mumbled into his chest. Niall always hugged me when I was upset. He was always affectionate to me. "I have to go to class. I'll see you at lunch."
"I'll see you there." he said kissing the top of my head as I pulled away, and walked down the hallway to my class.
