Double Love

Chapter 11

Elli's POV

It was Saturday and it's been a week since I've met Niall. We've gotten pretty close. It was awkward at first, but I mean, he's so energetic and always has a smile on his face. Who doesn't want a friend like that? Anyways, since it was the weekends, we had to finish our weekly shopping. Even though there's three of us, we manage to eat quite a lot, (don't judge).

"Mum... Mum..Mum, when are we leaving?" I yell from my room. "Just a few minutes Elli, Mrs.Horan and Niall are also joing us, so I'm waiting for them."

My mum and Mrs.Horan became friends in an instant. Probably the fastest friendship I've seen after Soph's and I. We've already had dinner at there place twice and whenever the Irishman and I pass by them, they're deep into a coversation.

"We're going shopping with them... MORE FOOD!" I shout. Hanging around Niall has made me realize my love for food and how beautiful it is. Thank you Ni.

"Elli, go put your coat on, it's cold outside and they're here."

*Car Ride - Horan's car*

"A-B-C. ITS EASY AS 1-2-3" We shout as the radio was playing the song. Other cars could probably hear us but I mean, we're 6, there's no harm.

As we're singing, I hear our mum's laughing at how silly we look/sound. "Are you laughing at us?!" Niall says with a straight face. I didn't catch on what he was doing but he quickly turns to me and winks. He must be acting... yea, I'll go along with it.

"That's so rude, like all we wanna do is be famous singers but mummy don't like the way we sing." Niall says and breaks down into tears. He was totally laughing behind his covered face, but it looked real "Yea." I add on and join in with the tears.

Our mums look at each other and then look at us. I think they believe us. "Oh, I'm sorry dear, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Niall's mum says.

Niall's little plan worked out. They bought it. We both turn to look at each other and burst out in laughter. Our mum's look back at us and realized what we've just played on them.

"You two make the perfect team. Invincible."

*The mall*

After a ten minute drive, we've finally arrivied to the mall. This mall has everything. It has the grocery store, retailing, fast foods and probably more. Malls in America are just a bit bigger than England's from what I've seen. We have just finished our grocery shopping- for both families and now we're heading to some clothing stores.

"Why don't we head into H&M?" Niall's mum, Maura, suggests.

"Yes, the clothing there is amazing, great quality."

So that's where we were going. H&M. The mall was quite crowded today, as it was Saturday. Our mums were heading for the ladies section and Niall and I were running to keep up with them. Someone bumped into me and I bumped into Niall and we tumbled into a clothing rack. We got up so we could see which direction our mums went in but they were nowhere in sight.

"Niall, where did they go." I asked pulling on his arm.

"I don't know," He answers kind of worried. "What kind of parents leave their kids unattended." Niall says annoyed but jokingly.

"It's not their fault, I'm the one who fell and lost them." I say looking at the ground. See, I'm the kind of person that thinks of everything possible and in the end, I blame it on myself. I worry too much.

"Okay, you know what, I'm putting on the big boy pants and helping us find them. It can't be that hard, right?" he questions. I try to suppress the giggles from when he said "big boy pants" but I just couldn't any longer.

"No time for laughter, Elli, we're on a mission here- TO FIND OUR MUMS!" he yells. Literally everybody stops and stares at us. It's kind of awkward, having a bunch of eyes wondering what you've done, but hey, that's what kind of treatment you get while hanging around Niall.

Niall and I walk toward the ladies section. We look around to see if our mums were there. Ugh, we're so short and people are so tall, it's so hard to find anyone. We walk around everyone to get a better look. We literally looked through the whole store and we didn't find our mums.

"Niall, maybe they're looking for us." I say. "Well, where would they be looking?" He asks.

"Maybe we should just stay in one spot and they will find us, instead of walking in circles." I suggest.

From the corner of my eye, I see Niall looking tuned out. How rude, was he even listening?

"Niall! Did you hear anything I said!" "Elli, I found them..." he says with no eyecontact whatsoever "I found them! Now hurry, they're walking the other direction." he then yanks my hand and we're running back to the ladies section

"MUM, WE'RE HERE, WE'RE HERE!" I say while jumping up and down and waving my hands like a complete maniac. Totally normal. Our mums quickly turn around, with a look of relief on their faces. They quickly run to us and embarce us in a huge motherly hug.

"Oh, you're both okay. Any harm done? Are you hurt?" my mother says, bombarding me with a billion questions. "It's alright mum, Niall put on his big boy pants and helped find you all, while keeping me calm."

My mum smiled, "You too really are the perfect team."
