New Angel | N.H.

Chapter twenty-three.

Parker's POV- Day six

The sound of my phone buzzing besides me breaks me from my sleep. I quickly look over at Niall to see if it had woken him up too but thankfully he was a heavier sleeper than I am. I reach over to the bedside table and unplug my phone from its charger. The screen showed a photo of my mom and I letting me know she was the one who was calling. It was 6:30 am here. Meaning it was 12:30 am back home. She stays up later than I do most nights.

I quickly answer the call "Hello! Give me one second mom." I whisper into the phone. Lifting myself off of the bed and sliding my feet into my house shoes. I grab my oversized hoodie from my room as I make my way to the living room. I plop down on the couch, not bothering to turn on the tv for more light. The sun was beginning to brighten up the room through the small space between each curtain.

"Sorry mom! I had to leave the room so I wouldn't wake Niall. What are you doing up so late?" I say, louder now since I was out of the bedroom.

"You know I can never sleep. I just wanted to call and see how you were. I know it's a little early but I'm wide awake" She laughs quietly form the other side of the line.

"I'm happy to be up early if it means I'm talking to you. I miss you guys. It's been good here. You wouldn't believe who I met yesterday mom!" I got so caught up in the excitement that was meeting Harry I forgot to text her about it before I went to bed.

"Who?" 

"Harry. As in Harry Styles. The man himself." I thought I'd be over it by now but I am no where near over it. I am still shook to my core. "He was so nice, like inhumanly nice."

"That's so cool honey. At this rate you'll meet the whole band. I remember when you had your room covered with their posters and would play their music all the time. Look at you now! Speaking of now, what's going on with you and Niall?" She wasted no time getting to the good stuff.

"Well" I drew out the word for a while. I could practically hear her rolling her eyes at me. "We may or may not have made things official" I practically squeal once I finish the sentence. Covering my mouth when I remember that Niall could be up at any second and hear me fingerling over my own boyfriend.

"WHAT! Wow honey that's great but not surprising. He talked to you every chance he got before you went out there. I guess when you said "If my next boyfriend isn't Niall Horan I don't want him" you knew what was coming." She bursts into laughter.

"I couldn't settle for less. That is funny that I said that though. I must be psychic." I can't help the smile that takes over my face. My life was truly a movie these days and I was loving every second of it. 

"The other thing I wanted to talk to you about was what going on out here. I don't want to worry you because you'll still be out another full week. Things are getting bad over here again with the virus. There are talks of closing down travel into the country again but nothing is certain. They don't want to close everything down again considering they just opened it all up. I just want you to be aware. I doubt you two are watching much news over there." My heart drops at her words. The thought that I could be stuck here longer than I had planned gave me mixed emotions.

On one hand it would be so fun to be here longer and spend more time with Niall. On the other hand I would miss my family. They were so far away and not to mention 6 hours behind on time. Nothing was certain yet so I didn't want to stress over it, but I would have to tell Niall when he gets up. 

There's still plenty of time before the school year starts and I could always switch to all online classes if I was stuck here that long. The main thing is that I only have two weeks worth of clothes. Two weeks worth of everything. Nothing to do my hair with properly either. I would have to buy clothes and all of the other things I use normally. I already know it would be a pain trying to find all of my products here. I'd have to order them and who knows how long shipping would take.
