After having some of Harry's yummy homemade waffles, Niall headed home to go change and get ready for his first day back at school. As soon as he knocked, the door swung open, reveling a very tired and worried looking Maura.

"Oh, Ni Baby, you're okay!" She hugged him tightly. "Anne told me you were at her place, but I still couldn't help but worry-"

"I'm fine." Niall mumbled, pulling out of his mom's arms. Maura frowned.

"Niall, what's wrong? Is your knee-"

"Oh, nothing's wrong. Thanks for leaving me locked outside our house." With that, Niall quickly went up the stairs into the loft to ice his knee.

"Oh, Love Bug, I'm so sorry! I had totally forgotten that you didn't have a key, and by the time Lester and I got back you were already asleep at Harry's."

Niall continued ignoring his mom, upset. He pulled out his phone, checking his Instagram as he iced his knee. Maura sighed, climbing the stairs to the loft. She sat on the edge of his bed.

"Love, I really am sorry. I totally spaced getting you your own key. I feel terrible, Love. Really, I do."

Niall opened his mouth, ready to forgive his mom, but Maura wasn't done.

"I never want to abandon you, Baby. I brought you to live with me so I could be here for you, how your father never did. I love you so much, Ni Bear. I-"

Niall cut his mom off with a huge hug, burring his head in her shoulder.

"I know, Mum. I know you do." She smiled at him, ruffling his hair.

"How about you skip school today? Invite the boys over. Just have some fun."

Niall gave his mom a confused smile. "Mum, I haven't been at school since my first day and-"

"I know, Love. I'll excuse you from your classes. I want you to have fun today."

Niall grinned. "Thanks mum!"

"I have work in a couple hours, so I'll trust you not to burn the house down."

"You know I won't, mum." Niall said, smiling. Maura went back downstairs, and Niall immediatly texted the lads.
