Mute - Niall Horan

20

When Louis and I finally arrived at nans we got our stuff out of the back and put it by the front door. Louis locked the car while I checked the time on my phone. 11:38pm. I knocked on the door and nan answered.

"Nellie, Louis, so nice to see both of you, I haven't seen you in ages" She said hugging us both and kissing our cheeks.

"Hey nan" Louis smiled.

"Hi" I added.

"Nellie! You're speaking again?!" She asked in shock.

I nodded. "I only began speaking about a week ago"

"Come in, you must both be tired," Nan said and stepped aside so Louis and I could enter. We said goodnight to nan and went upstairs to the spare bedroom where there was two single beds, one on each side of the room. I didn't bother changing I just layed on one of the beds and slowly fell asleep.

When i woke up the next day Louis was still asleep. I opened my suitcase and pulled out a pair of ripped jean shorts and a long sleeved grey top. I went to the bathroom and changed, rolling the sleeves of my top up to my elbows. I put my dirty clothes in the laundry basket and went downstairs.

Nan, Lottie, Fizzy, Daisy and Pheobe were all sat at the table in the kitchen eating breakfast. Grins spread across all of their little faces as i entered the room.

"NELLIE!" Lottie squealed and jumped up to hug me.

"Hi Lottie" I laughed, Lottie was the girl that i was closest to when we all lived with mum and dad.

"You speak?" They all said in shock.

I nodded. "Only started about a week ago" I said.

"Really?!" Fizzy said. I nodded. "How long are you and Louis here for?" she asked.

"I'm here for two weeks and Louis is here for a month" I replied.

"Where are you going after two weeks?" Lottie asked.

"I'm going over to my boyfriends family" I smiled.

"Who's the lucky chap?" Nan asked.

"Niall, you know Louis' band mate, the blonde one" I explained to her.

"Oh i love Niall" she laughed.

"so do i" I replied.

"Where's Lou! Where's Lou!" Daisy and Pheobe said at the same time.

"Still upstairs asleep" I said.

"oh" They both frowned.

"I said they had to wait till you both got up" Nan smiled. I shrugged.

"Girls, go and wake Louis" I said. They all cheered and ran up the stairs with me following them. We all went into the spare bedroom quietly before Daisy and Pheobe started jumping on him. You could tell they missed him.

Louis groaned as they jumped onto his stomach. He opened one eye and looked at me.

"Cheers Nel" he mumbled.

"Welcome, Louis they missed you now get up" I said.

"Hey guys" Louis said, sitting up sleepily. Lottie and Fizzy gave him a hug before the twins did. They definitely had a special bond with him, a close bond. A bond of love.

Once everyone was up and awake we were all sat in the living room. I got out my notebook and began doodling.

"What you drawing?" Lottie asked, peering over my shoulder.

"Just a cute boy from a recent anime I watched" I replied.

"You still into all that drawing?" Louis asked, I used to draw all the time as a kid.

"Yup" I replied popping the p.

"Do you still do speedway?" Nan asked. I nodded. 

"When's your next match cause you're okay now aren't you" Louis said.

"I think its tomorrow night?" I said slightly unsure, I had to text Dan and see.

"Who you against?" Louis asked.

"Surprising Doncaster at Doncaster speedway track" I replied.

"Can we go and watch her please nanny" Lottie begged.

"Oh it'll be too loud for me" Nan said.

"Nan, I'm going so I'll take them" Louis said.

"Are you sure, they are a handful" nan asked Louis.

"You have a night to yourself, watch soaps or whatever, you deserve it" Louis smiled. 

"thanks Lou" She said and the girls cheered.

"It's Harry's birthday tomorrow" I said, suddenly thinking about it.

"Oh yeah, shall we go shopping for him and post it? Skype him tomorrow as well?" Louis asked. I nodded.

"Girls we are going out, we'll be back in an hour" Louis said.

We left the house and got into the car, I drove this time into the town centre. We parked and got out, walking inside to all of the shops. After 40 minutes of walking we had gotten Harry a bottle of deodorant, a t-shirt, a beanie and a watch. 

"Lou don't you think we should get the girls something?" I asked him.

"Yeah but I suck at buying for girls" Louis frowned.

"That's why im here" I smiled as we walked into a girly looking shop.

We ended up getting Lottie a make up set.

Phoebe a jewellery box.

Fizzy a Furby,

And Daisy a little pink pony.

We put all of our stuff in the car before getting in and driving home. When we got back nan was making lunch in the kitchen and the girls were playing on the Wii in the living room.

"Hi" I smiled, sitting on the couch and holding two bags. Louis was holding the other two and we put Harry's ones at the bottom of the stairs.

"Fizzy, Lottie, here are your presents" Louis smiled, giving them their bags.

"Daisy, Pheobe these are yours" I said, handing them theirs.

The girls each opened their bags and squeals of delight erupted through the house. I grabbed the last bag and went out to the kitchen where nan was, leaving Lou with the screaming girls.

"What did you do to the girls?" Nan asked in amusement while draining spaghetti over the sink.

"We got them something each while we were out" I replied. "This is for you" I added, passing her the bag that I was holding.

"aw thank you" She said taking the cardigan from the bag. I smiled and gave her a hug before taking Harry's bag upstairs. 

I found a plain brown box so I put all of his gifts in there and wrote a note. I got Louis to sign it and also put it in with the gifts. I wrapped the whole box in birthday wrapping paper and wrote his address on the tag. I taped the tag to the box and got Louis to go to the post office to post it. I sat down on the sofa and let out a sigh of exhaustion. It was only 1:30pm.
