Nobody Compares {Niall Horan Fanfaction}

One Word.

[Chapter 1]

"Stop! Seriously stop it!"

I hit my step-brother in the stomach as he kept flicking me. I had a small family to begin but when my mom married my step dad my family became huge. I have two sisters, three brothers and three dogs.

"No we don't want to!"

I sat in the middle of my two twin step-brother Jim and Jack who were only seven. They are devils. They were the most trouble makers out of all our family.

"If you don't stop your going on the naughty list now stop you twits!"

They still did not stop.

I grew up in America with my mom and sister, Cassie, but we moved to Ireland to take care of my grandma at age fifteen. My mom then married my step dad Kevin and his three sons, Jim, Jack, and Jeremy and daughter, Jillian. They got married a month ago and we are moving into a new house today. When we got to the house I didn't want to go in or call a room, I wanted to just clarify the things I've been thinking lately. So after we pulled up to the house I grabbed my phone and went in the back to call my bestfriend.

"Hello?"

"Hey Niall!"

"Hi Courtney whats up?"

Ever since I moved to Ireland I became best friends with Niall Horan. He was so nice showing me around school. He said I was funny and I said I loved when he laughed. We became best friend right away. However, we went to a party a month ago when he was home on a brake from tour and well lets just say I don't remember getting home. We also didn't know what we had done because both of us get really blurred when drunk.

"So remember the party the other night? At Kates? The night before you went back."

I heard a faint chuckle come out of my speakers that made me smile. Niall's laugh was my favorite thing about him. When ever I heard it I couldn't help but smile.

"No one does Court. We were all drunk."

My smile turned to a frown.

"Well do you remember that morning at like 6am? I- i- um."

"Woah. Hold on Court I have to go. I'll come over in an hour. Bye."

"Bye."

I wanted to tell him what I assumed. I wanted to tell him what I found. I wanted to tell him how I felt. I wanted to tell him everything. But I couldn't. I can't because it will complicate everything. Plus Niall is my best friend. I just can't.

I sighed and walked into the house. My mother and I always had an amazing relationship. It was always just me Cassie and mommy. However, the recent change of my step-dad Kevin and all the boys in our house I haven't been the nicest person in the world to my mom. I looked around the enormous house as my jaw dropped. The house was beautiful and a mansion.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

I felt my mothers cold hand press against my shoulder. I turned to her and shrugged. I thought it was a huge step from our old apartment but I would never admit that to my mom. If I told my mom I liked her new husband, or loved the things she bought me, or loved the new house I knew she would think this was okay. She would think not even asking Cassie and I what we thought was okay. Well it isn't.

"Isn't it a bit big? What ever. Wheres my room?"

She smiled and walked left. She walked down a hall way me following closely. She turned to a door and opened it. It was just stairs. I walked down and was amazed at the sight. It was a beautiful basement with carpeting, light pink walls, cool furniture and a hot pink bed spread. Amazing!

"This-this- this isn't my stuff, who's is it?"

My mom's smile dropped. She was shocked at the pure rudeness coming out of her perfect daughters mouth.

"Well Kevin bought it you for and I thought-"

"You thought he would buy my love? No mom. He needs to make his own effort- this was you not him. You know I love all of this not him. And I'll thank you with all my heart, not him. Sorry mom."

"Dinner will be ready in a few hours. Niall will be joining us? Okay."

She walked away frowning. I looked around the room with guilt. Kevin was actually a very nice person however he wasn't for my mother. He was different.

I laid down on my new bed and put my phone into my new ihome speakers. I walked over across my new floors shutting off my new lights. I sighed. Everything had been changing. First my mom had told me I would have a new stepdad with three brothers and a sister I didn't even know. Then Niall came home to visit me and we went to a party. Only a month later to find out something so surprising. It is life changing. I always was the perfect child, now what is going to happen? I am only nineteen and now?

"Hi Niall. Nice to see a familiar face. Courtney is down stairs. She'll be happy to see you. She. Was fighting with my mom before."

I heard Cassie's squeaky voice come up from the air vents. I opened my eyes to realize I had fallen asleep about two hours ago. I heard my door open and watched as Niall walked down the stairs in amazement.

"Woah. Courtney this is kind of amazing."

I smiled walking up to him giving him a hug.

"I know."

I sighed and looked around. I sat back on the bed checking my phone.

"So spill whats wrong?"

My heart stopped. I looked at him biting my lip. I sighed looking back down.

"Well as I said you know that party? As you said no one remembers it or what they did?"

I opened my mouth but no words came out. It was strange how I could tell him anything yet right now I could tell him nothing. I felt his hand place on my shoulder. I sighed again still looking down.

"Well I have a serious question for you before I say anything. Do- do you. Do you have any feelings for me?"

I shut my eyes tightly. I didn't want to hear his answer. I have been in love with him for the six years I've known him. When he told me he made it the X-factor i was in shock. He told me he would always be my best friend before we kissed. We never even spoke about that day. After he became the most famous boy band in the world then I never saw him.

"Of course I do. I-"

I shook my head.

"No not like that. More then a friend."

It was silent for a couple seconds. I could feel him starring at me but I still didn't look at him.

"Courtney. Let me finish. I said, of course I do. I always have. Since the day I met you I have had the biggest crush on you. Your my best friend I didn't want to end that by telling you how I thought you were perfect and telling how much I loved you!"

My heart sank at that one word. Love. I could tell he didn't mean to say that because he just stopped talking. I looked up at him and he was looking down. I took my hand and put it on him shoulder. He looked up at me slowly. I then leaned into him kissing him.

"I love you Niall."

"I love you too Courtney."
