Putting Together the Puzzle: A Dark Niall Horan FanFiction

Chapter 1

"I never thought I would see you pacing because you were nervous about your wedding day."

I run my fingers through my hair, looking over at Harry in his tux. "I never thought you would end up being my best man."

"What can I say." He shrugs. "I look good in a tux."

"How much longer?"

Harry looks down at his wrist, "I guess we should head out there now." He walks over to the door, gesturing me out to the alter.

"Do I look okay." I turn to him one last time.

"You look fine now go." Harry pushes me and I slowly make my way out to the alter. The church is full. My family sits on one side in the front row. The row that should sit Charlie's family only holds Liam.

I take a moment to fix my suite before positioning myself so I am comfortable. Harry stands at my side along with Zayn and Louis.

The music starts and I can feel my body tense. Every nerve I have breaks as I try to keep my composure.

The doors at the end of the church open and out walks Iris in her red brides maid dress, a bonquet of white lilies. God those lilies.

Dani follows behind Iris along with Courtney.

They all reach the front and I can feel my body grow hot when the crowd stands.

I can feel the sweat grow on the back of my neck as the wedding music continues and Charlie still hasn't appeared. The crowd starts to murmur to their neighbors. I glance over at Harry and he gives me a worried look shrugging.

She can't do this to me.

*6 MONTHS EARLIER*

CHARLIE'S P.O.V.

"Do they even know we are coming?" I rock back on my heels as we wait on the front steps of Niall's parents. I am so nervous. Not just nervous for the fact that I am meeting Niall's parents for the first time but nervous for the fact that I don't know what to expect. Niall has always been so resistant when it came to his family and now he decided to pack up and come to Ireland.

"No." He answers and I give him a worried look. "But trust me they will be more then happy to see me. Probably more you than me actually."

"Niall, I don't know-" But I am cut off when the door swings open and there stands a taller man, similar in looks to Niall.

"Niall?" He question but he just stares at me.

"Yeah, can we come in? It's cold." He nods.

"Right, right!" The man steps aside, gesturing us inside. Niall takes my hand, leading me inside. He sets our bags in front of the stairs and grabs my hand again, leading me into the foyer this time.

I beautiful blonde women sits with, who I believe is her son, and who I believe is Niall's mother sits next to her.

"Uh mum." The man pipes up and Niall's mom looks up with a smile but it drops when she sees Niall and I. Not in sadness but in shock.

"Niall?" She stands up, looking between us both.

"Mum, I want you to meet Charlie." He places his hand on he small of my back, looking down at me. "My fiancé."

"Your what?" The women behind his mother stands up with her child in her arms.

"Hello." The man steps from around Niall, holding out his hand to me. "I am Niall's brother Greg."

"Lovely to meet you." I smile shaking his hand.

"Oh my god Niall." His mother steps over, hugging him tightly. I feel uncomfortable in my own skin, I don't belong here.
