Make You Believe (Niall Horan Punk)

Chapter 6 - She's Not Afraid

*Niall's P.O.V.*

I woke up this morning, glad it was Saturday. I got up and went downstairs, getting breakfast.

"Good morning Niall" my dad greeted as I walked into the kitchen.

"'Morning Dad" I said, pouring a huge bowl of cereal before sitting down at the table.

"Aren't you going out for lunch with your mum and Greg?"

"Yeah"

"Are you sure you'll be okay? We don't need another blowup like last time" he said.

"Who told you?"

"Your mum"

"Oh, well you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine. I was just having a bad day last time"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Dad, I'm fine"

"Alright, just making sure"

After I finished breakfast, I went back upstairs and took a shower before getting dressed.

When I was ready I put my shoes on and climbed into my car and drove to O'Sullivan's Irish Pub, where we were meeting today.

I walked into the pub and sat down at the booth with my mum and Greg.

"Hey guys" I greeted.

"Hey Niall" they replied.

I picked up my menu, deciding on what I wanted when our waitress showed up.

"Welcome to O'Sullivan's Irish Pub, how may I help you?" The familiar voice asked. I looked up to see Skye standing there, taking our order.

"I'll have a Coke" I told her.

"Only if you promise you won't spill it all over me" she joked. We laughed before my mum and Greg ordered their drinks.

"Well you're in a good mood today" Mum said when Skye left to get our drinks.

"Yeah" I said casually.

"So how's school?" She asked.

"It's fine" I replied as Skye returned with our drinks and took our orders for food.

"Yesterday a new manger transferred to my work. He's got a son your age. He's starting school Monday" Greg told me.

"A week late?"

"That's what I thought"

"What's his name?"

"My manager or his son?"

"His son"

"Percy Robinson" Greg told me as Skye showed up with our food.

"Thank you" my mum said as Greg and I dug in. "So Greg, how are things with you and Denise?"

Greg told Mum about his girlfriend Denise while I devoured my lunch.

After I finished my lunch, Mum asked me how I felt about her marrying Chris.

"I like Chris, he seems cool. I'm glad you two are engaged. I was just having a bad day last week" I told her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Mum, I'm sure"

"Okay, just making sure" she said.

After lunch we went our separate ways and I hung out at my mum's house for a while before I picked up pizza for dinner. It was about 6:30 p.m. when I saw Skye walking home.

"Need a ride?" I asked after I pulled into the parking lot.

"Uh..." she replied, thinking.

"Get in the car" I told her. She obliged, getting in the car and sitting in the passenger seat, not as stiff as she usually is.

"You shouldn't walk home at night. It's not safe, you could get mugged, or worse" I told her.

"That was yesterday" she laughed.

"What?!"

"I got mugged yesterday. It's no big deal, I've been mugged, like, 12 times"

I shook my head in response, grabbing my phone while we were still in the parking lot.

"I'm going to call my mum and tell her I'm going to be a little late" I told her, dialing my mum's number. "Hey Mum, I'm going to be a little late. I'm giving Skye a ride home"

"Why don't you invite her over?" Mum asked.

"Mum, she probably has to go home"

"Just ask her" she told me. I sighed, turning to Skye.

"Would you like to come over for dinner?" I asked.

"Nah, I should probably go home. My mom's hanging out with some of her friends tonight and she wants me to go straight home" Skye said.

"She can't come over, maybe another time" I told my mum. "I'll see you later" I said before hanging up and driving Skye home.
