{NIALL'S POV}

*December 3rd, 2014*

"Anne?" I asked quietly, my mouth dropped open.

"Hi Niall." She said again, turning her head to see Robin walking up the porch step's, luggage in hand.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, glancing nervously behind me. She furrowed her eyebrow's.

"What do you mean? We're here for our monthly visit with Harry. I talked about it with your mum just last week." She said. Then, she shook her head, smiling.

"Oh she must have forgotten to tell you." She chuckled.

"Do you mind if we come in? It's quite cold out here?" Robin asked with a smile from beside her. And before I could protest, they were making their way in the door, slipping off their snow covered boot's.

"Anne?!" A voice screeched. Anne froze, lifting her head slowly. Jay was now standing up, facing the door with an icy glare on her face.

"Jay?!" She growled. Mark stepped up behind Jay, placing a hand on each of her shoulder's, his own cold look on his face. Robin did the same to Anne, and my father and I stood and watched in confusion.

"Anne, Robin, what are you doing here?" My dad asked, taking a step toward's them.

"What are you talking about? I talked to Maura just last week about this! I think the real question is why are they here?! It's our turn to stay!"

"NO! I TALKED TO MAURA LAST WEEK!! IT'S OUR TURN TO STAY!!!" Jay yelled, talking a step forward. I stepped in between them.

"HEY! BACK UP!!!" I yelled, putting my hand's out as I tried to balance on my crutches. Suddenly, my mum walked into the room, a plate of cookie's in her hand's.

"Maura! What's going on?!" My dad exclaimed, confusion and shock written across his face. I was sure I held the same expression. She glanced around at each of us, before she sighed, setting the plate down.

"I just....I can't stand seeing any of us...our family....our One Direction family....fighting....It's tearing us all apart." She said quietly. I could see tear's welling up behind her eyes. She was right. It was tearing apart our family. Ever since Louis and Harry were sent away, there had been a huge rift between Harry's parent's and Louis'. And it was starting to take a toll on all of us.
