Niall had been terribly sick the entire night. He had been going to the bathroom about every half hour and so I thought it was best that I sleep on the couch. I went to make Nat and I some breakfast as I think she would enjoy a good morning like that after last night.

"Bread, cinnamon, syrup," I mumbled to myself as I got out those ingredients and a few others. I decided to make french toast and ice cream. I knew Niall would smell it and would want some but I don't think it will be the best when he's sick.

I finished the first two pieces of toast and Nat came out to the kitchen.

"What are you cooking?" she asked peeking over my shoulder to see what was in the pan.

"French toast," I grinned hopping that she would like my choice.

"Yum," she said licking her lips. "My favourite!"

"But I thought pancakes and bacon were your favourite?" I questioned.

"Okay, maybe French toast is my second favourite," she admitted.

"Good because I didn't have any bacon and that's the only reason I didn't make that for you."

"That's okay. I forgive you," she said hugging me.

I knew Niall too well because as I plated up the meal, he walked into the kitchen. I put my hand up in front of me telling him to come no further so he couldn't contaminate the food.

"Sorry Niall but there is no French toast for you," I apologized. "If you want, I can make you something else though."

"You eat your breakfast and then can you please get me some plain toast with nothing on it?" he asked with watery eyes from tiredness.

"I'll do it for you now," I smiled.

"Thank you," he said before slowly walking back to his room.

I quickly put some bread in the toaster and filled up a glass of water. Shortly after, the roast popped out and so I out them on a plate and took them with the glass of water to Niall and put them on his bedside table.

"Thank you," Niall mumbled.

"Now get that into your stomach and you might feel a bit better."

I walked back out of the room and joined Natalie at the dining room table where she had already devoured half her meal.

***************************

"Do you want to go to the movies today?" I ask Nat after I finish my last mouthful of breakfast.

"Yeah sure!" she said happily. "But what movie?"

"I'll get my laptop out and look up what's at the movies."

Nat gets up to put the dishes away and begin searching for movies in the 'Now Showing' page of the cinema website.

"How about Guardians of the Galaxy?" I ask.

"I've heard good things about that movie, I wouldn't mind seeing it," she says.

"Let's do that then," I smile before booking tickets.

*****************

We walked through the large arch and onto the red carpet and headed straight toward the candy and popcorn counter. Nat had told me she'd pay for the food because I payed for the tickets.

"Can I please get two medium popcorn and drink combos and some lolly snakes," she asked the lady at the candy bar.

"Yes sure, that will be twenty seven dollars fifty," she replied. We gave her the money and she started packing the food.

We thanks her as she hands over the food and walk towards the cinema. We show the ticket on our phone to the ticket people and they show us in the direction.

We find our seats and get comfy just as the ads start. The damn ads. They go for 15 minutes to half an hour. Too much movie time taken up people!! Oh how boring are they. And you eat the food during the ads and so you only have half the popcorn you had in the box left for the movie. I can't even. Well, I'm dramatic aren't I. Getting angry about the ads.

"It's starting! The movie is starting!" Nat whispered excitedly tapping my arm. I just laughed and sat back to enjoy the movie and the rest of the popcorn left in the box.

*********************************

"I loved that movie!" she squealed in the car. Even though she was a year and a half older than me, she loved her movies and she would get so excited if she found one she loved.

She continually talked about the movie the whole way home. Even if I had just seen it with her, I let her talk as I loved seeing her happy. That is the thing I love about my family. They were always so happy and loved getting out into the world. I am one of the lucky ones and even though my family is half way across the world, they are together and love each other A LOT!

We drive into the car garage and park beside a blue MINI. We share an apartment lot with 2 other couples. They are lovely but we are always so busy so we don't see them too often. We take the lift up to the top floor and walk into the front door to see a surprising sight. Niall was showered (judging by his wet hair), dressed and sitting on the couch with a bowl of carbonara.

"Hello Ni," I greeted surprised by the view right in front of me.

"Hello, how was the movie?" he asked standing up.

"It was great," said Nat walking right behind me.

"You seem better," I smiled walking over to him putting my arm on his shoulder.

"I still feel like crap," he said as I reacted and backed away. "But good enough to get up and cook something for myself," he smiled. His voice sounding more hyped up and less tired and I returned to the position by his side.

"So did you save any food for us?" asked Natalie walking towards the kitchen. "I'm starving!"

"Natalie, you just ate heaps of food at the cinema," I laughed.

"I know but still."

"Sorry to disappoint you but I only cooked enough for myself and I didn't think you'd want my flu."

"That's okay, I'll just make some for myself," she smiled cheekily and I could see she was up to something. "Let me just make that clear to you. No more food for Niall Horan who loves his food. Only some for me and maybe my younger sister."

Niall tried to not react but I could see he was fighting the urge to not beg her to make food for him.

We finished the day watching even MORE movies on TV but that was okay because I had some of the two most loved people in my life and it was perfect.
