I woke up to the sound of movement from the room above me. I could hear Niall walking around and talking to someone, he must have been on the phone. I just stayed in bed for another 5 minutes listening to his discussion to the person on the other line.
'Yeah Mate, shes fine'
'Shes here with me now'
'Shes asleep'
'Calm down Greg! I'll wake her up in a minute.'
'Ok ok ok, tell mum we'll be there in an hour and a half, latest.'
'Yeah yeah yeah what ever, bye'
I heard him slump on to his bed which was probably right above mine. I lay there for a few more minutes before getting out of bed to get ready to meet my mums friend.
I done my power, everyday eyeliner, filled in my eyebrows, and then added a darkish shade of lipstick to add colour to my face. My out fit was nothing special, Dr. Martins, jeans, plain top and a think,chunky scarf.
I folded up my bed covers and cleaned up any mess I had made before locking the door and heading towards the main office to give in my key.
Once giving in the key I made the longest hardest trek to Niall's room. The grip on my bag got tighter and tighter, I still only had one bag as my others were in the car.
I don't know why I was nervous, I never done anything wrong it was Niall that was in the wrong. He was over reacting about something small.
I found my self starting at his hotel door, just stood there, doing nothing, to stiff to open the door, to nervous to knock on the door. Thankfully the job was done for me as the door swung open to Niall .He had his bag slung over his shoulder and both mine and his phone in his hand, I must have left it there last night.
"Arrrrh shit , Grace, I didn't , erm, I didn't expect to see you here." His said while scratching the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Yeah, well, sadly your my only way to a new life soooooo, I kind of need to be here."
"Yeah right were leaving now. "
"Okay"
Wow this is awkward.

We were only 2 miles away from The Horan house when he finally decided to talk.
"About last night, I'm sorry , I over reacted over something ridiculous, I'm really sorry."
"I guess it was the long flight hey?"
"Um yeah"
"Seriously it's fine. But I don't appreciate what you said about my mum, that was a step to far"
"I know I know I tried to call you, and text, to say sorry but you left your phone in the my hotel room"
By now we were sat out side his house with the engine dead.
"Oh right , I got a room for free so it wasn't to bad"
"Hey, Grace, I never want you to worry about money every again, if you want a new dress, go get it. if you want new ear rings, go get them. If you want a holiday, go book it. I have a spare bank account, use it, I don't mind it would be my pleasure."
I had no words, I could finally pay off the hospital bills, get new clothes, get driving lessons. I swung my arms around my neck and pulled him close. As I pulled away I gave him a small peck on the cheek making him go bright red. I chuckled lightly before getting out the car and walking towards the door.

As soon as I through the door I was engulfed in a bear hug by a blonde woman.
"Wow, Charlie- Grace Kim, haven't you grown!"
"Well hello to you too...."
"Oh my, of corse you don't remember me I'm Maura !"
"Arhh right, please call me Charlie"
I was hugged once again before being pulled into the kitchen leaving Niall with all the bags.
Sitting in the Kitchen I saw Greg holding a small child in his arms.
"Oh my, Greg! Who's this little fella?"
"Charlie meet Theo, Theo meet Charlie"
I said congrats to him giving him a slightly awkward hug not wanting to touch the baby.

Maura made an amazing dinner, I hadn't ate probably in a while so it was so nice to enjoy a prober meal, I still couldn't eat the whole plate because of my new fear.
Over the dinner table we were talking about my mum which made me cry a little, they were asking about her funeral and I had to explain to them how she never agreed with funerals, she always said 'why be placed in the ground, or burnt in to ashes when your body can be given to great causes'
She wanted her body to be given to a charity that was trying to find away to stop cancer.

Maura was leading me up the stairs with Niall leading close behind, I turned round to find him staring at my ass, when he caught on to my gaze he gave me a quick wink before telling me to turn round, which I obeyed.
"Now kids, I have some bad news, I didn't want anyone sleeping on the sofa, so you'll have to share a bed."
She looked between questionably.
" Yes Mrs. Horan that'll be fine " I said while nudging Niall in the ribs
"Thank god for that! And please honey call me Maura."
We walked into the room and it was like a replay of last night, there was one double bed.
After we had both walked in Niall closed the door and laughed to him self.
"Last night ever happened, and last night will never happen again... deal?" He asked
"Deal" I agreed
"yes Mrs. Horan that'll be fine" he said mimicking my voice ( very badly ) from a minute ago.
I walked past him on the way to the wardrobe making sure to hit him in the balls on my way.

We were both lying in bed in the dark, not one of us speaking, but I had a question and I needed to know the answer.
"Nia?"
"Yes Grace?"
"Did you mean what you said last night? About having feelings?"
"Yes Grace"
There was a long silence before I spoke.
"Good because I think I'm feeling the same"
*^*^*^*^*^*
So she's met the family , and they've confessed there feelings towards each other!!!!!!
