Down Memory Lane (narry)✔

Chapter. 21

"Harry calm down," Niall grabbed his hand that was tapping his thigh. To anyone else it wouldn't draw any concern, but Niall knew Harry and he knew all his nervous habits. "If anything, I should be the one freaking out, this is your mum we are going to see." Niall smirked at his boyfriend.

Yes boyfriend.

Harry had asked him and even though he had been a little hesitant, he agreed because he still loved Harry and he knew the latter had changed for the better.

"I know I know, it's just..." He trailed off and sighed heavily. "You mean so much to me, Ni and I hurt you badly. I can't not tell my mum about what I did to you, her reaction is what has me freaking out."

Niall nodded in understanding. He did know how hard that was for Harry. Infact, he wasn't planning on telling his family what Harry had done to him, soon or ever. He knew how protective everyone was of him.

"You don't have to tell her now. Atleast wait until you gather enough courage to do so." Niall suggested to Harry.

"That's where the problem is, I'll never be able to gather enough courage to tell her so I asked Gemma to do it on my behalf. She already knows." Harry said and his heart missed a beat when he turned into his mother's street.

"Well then, you are fucked." Niall said and giggled when Harry gasped.

"Nialllll," he whined. "You are not helping." He quickly glanced at Niall and back to road, turning into his mother's driveway and parking the car.

"Sorry sorry." Niall raised his hands in mock surrender. "I mean at the end of the day, she's still your mum. What's the worst that could happen?"

Harry turned to Niall with furrowed eyebrows.

"Probably feed me to a shark and replace me with you." He said, making Niall burst out in laughter which earned him a sharp look from Harry. "I'm being serious here."

"I know, sorry." Niall giggled and covered his mouth. "A shark?" He asked with a smile.

"Yeah, well okay maybe a shark is too out there but you get the point." Harry said and wiped his sweaty palms on his jeans, he couldn't believe he was being this nervous just to face his own mother.

"Okay then, shall we go? I'm kinda hungry." Niall blushed and Harry held back a coo.

He nodded though and got out of the car, quickly moving around to Niall's side and opening the door for him.

"Thanks." Niall said and got out with a little struggle.

Harry held Niall's waist and pulled him towards himself. They walked to the door and Harry opened it, then let Niall in first.

"Harry? Is that you?" They heard Anne's voice call and Harry smiled nervously.

"Yeah mum," he said, just as she appeared from around the corner with an apron on and an oven mitt on one hand.

One look at her and Niall could clearly see the resemblance among the three, Gemma included.

Now that he was stood infront of her, the nerves kicked in. This was his daughter's other nan, he had to make a good first impression.

"Hi lovely, you must be Niall. I'm Anne." Anne said sweetly, pulling Niall out of his thoughts.

"Yes I'm Niall, it's nice to meet you, ma'am." Niall answered shyly, slightly hiding behind Harry.

"Awww," Anne cooed. "You can call me Anne, love." She said and Niall smiled at her.

She then led them to the kitchen and made them both a cuppa as they chatted about anything and everything.
