(Niall's pov)
I slowly opened my eyes and discover and empty space next to me.mavis? Where'd she go? Is she pulling another prank on me? I got up to check but the house was empty. Maybe she went for a stroll in the park. I made my way back to my room but in the doorway my tummy rumbled. I remembered seeing lickerish in a cookie jar. I pulled it out and took a bite. As I walked back I discovered mavis sitting o the fire escape. I'm not sleepy anymore. I jumped out the window and sat down the way she did.
"Im sorry" I said "for...what happened earlier"
"Its okay and I'm not angry at that" she said, her voice was so smooth and delicate that I felt I'd damage it.
"Then why are you sitting here?" I asked. "What's wrong?
"Everything" she said "the house, my brother and Connor"
"Whoa slow down your horses" I said "want to explain everything"
"I don't have any where to go if I leave this place. This was our first and only house. Kyle wouldn't want to leave and we have some memories here. And for Connor well, she's my best friend and I really wanted to talk to her."
"Wait 'she'?" I asked. Connors not a homosexual name. Is it?
"Yes. Ruby McConner that's her name" she said
"I am really sorry" I said
"Its okay" she said "wasn't your fault"
"What about Kyle? Who's Kyle?" I asked
"My brother" was all she said and bit her lip not the normal way but the way zayn does it. You know biting the inside of his lower lip. I reached out to hug her and she buried her face in my chest. I rubbed her back trying to console her kind of like Liam does. I have no idea why I'm referring to people.
"I'm sorry" she said like the way I did before "for...what happened earlier but any way I'll drink it off." She said reaching to her other side and reviling a pack of cans. She opened one and gave one to me and one for her self.
"Are you allowed to drink?" I asked curious
"This is not... it's an energy drink" she said
"Fine" I said pulling out the lickerish from my pocket "lickerish?"
"Sure" she said grabbing one. A moment of silence passed with mavis looking down and me at her. She patted my hand and I followed her gaze. A pan was about to cross the street and was going to go under us. Mavis pulled in her legs and stood up looking at the man, she took a long sip from her tin and right when the man came she spitted it out. She pulled me back and we were up against the wall.
"Aye?" the man yelled and we began to laugh quietly. She smiled a cheeky smile again and it bought back the glow.
"Mavis" I whispered.
"Yes nialleees" she replied laughing lightly.
"Will you do me a favor?" I asked
"Anything" she said
"Don't ever stop smiling" I said and her smile increased. "And I have a solution"
"For what?" she asked confused.
"The house problem" I explained "you can come live with us."
"I'm not sure" she said.
"Come-on you can trust us" I assured
"Really?" she said and I nodded. She threw her arms around me and hugged me tightly. We parted away breaking the hug and I held out the last lickerish. And we shared it.
