Girl

Niall's POV

We were done recording our new single 'Live While We're Young' and were now and a small break before going back to work on the new songs for our new album. We already had a few songs for the new album but that was it by now.

Today Harry, Louis and I were spending the day at Jane's house, she was a really sweet girl and it was always nice to spend time with her and see her before I went back to Ireland for a couple of days to visit my family. We were all at her living room, the guys and I playing videogames and Jane taking care of a cute baby girl called Julie when the doorbell rang, probably the chinese food we ordered for dinner. Everyone was in their own little worlds not paying attention at the door.

"Fine, I'll get it."

I went over to open the door with my wallet in hand. I opened the door expecting to see the chinese food delivery guy but instead I saw a man with dark brown hair and a woman with brown-red hair, both of them in their middle 30s probably. They both looked at me with a shocked face.

"Hello. Can I help you?" They both looked at me with confused faces and looked around the neighborhood, they probably had the wrong house.

"Yeah. I am Davin and this is my wife Maureen. We are here to see Jane…” He said looking at me with his eyebrows frowned. “Who are you?” The man asked.

"Umm I’m Niall-"

"Where is Jane? Is she here?" The woman asked.

"Oh yeah, she's inside. We were watching a movie and waiting for our food to arrive.” I said stepping aside and letting them in. They were probably Jane’s parents.



Jane's POV

We stopped the game when Niall went to get the food and put on a movie, we decided on Grease. The three of us sat on the larger couch, me sitting next to Louis who was in the middle seat and Harry sitting on the other end of the couch. My legs were on Louis’ lap and he was making circles with his fingers on my knee while I gave Julie her bottle of milk and waited for the movie to start.

"Niall the movie is starting." I yelled towards the door.

"Jane?" I turned my face shocked to see my parents standing at the door. “What is going on here? Who are these boys?”

"Mom, dad!” I said taking my legs off of Louis’ lap and sat up. I gave Julie to Louis and stood up to give my parents a hug. “What are you doing here?”

“Well we have a week off and wanted to spend them with our daughter.” Dad said.

“Wow… that's new.” I said looking down at the floor. “Anyway… mom, dad, these are my friends, Niall, Louis and Harry, and the baby is Julie, I’m babysitting her. Guys, these are my parents, Davin and Maureen Courson.”

“Hello Mr. and Mrs. Courson, it’s nice to meet you.” Harry said offering his hand. Mom and dad shook his hand but I could tell they were forcing smiles. My parents also greeted Niall and Louis with the same forced smiles.

“Aren’t you from that popular boyband?” Mom asked.

“So your parents know about us but you didn’t.” Louis laughed.

“Ha ha shut up.” I said tossing a pillow at Louis, not hitting Julie with it. “Yeah they are from that popular boyband, One Direction.”

“Oh, all right. How did you met them?”

“Harry lives next door.” I smiled pointing at Harry.

"Thank god you don't live with him." Mom whispered, loud enough for everyone to hear. I looked back at my parents and saw them looking around the house.

"Are you living with any of them?"

"No?" I said slowly. "Well Harry is here all the time since he lives next door but no, they are just visiting for the day."

“Guys?” I looked at Harry, Niall and Louis. “Can you go upstairs for a minute?”

“Sure.” They said and walked upstairs with Julie.

Harry gave me a kiss on my cheek and touched my arm as if telling me everything was going to be okay. He knew about my parents not caring about me and knew it was hard for me to just forget about it.

"I don't like that boy, Jane." Dad said sternly. "We don't want you to be with him." I sighed.

“Why are you really here?” I asked crossing my arms.

“We want to make everything okay between us.”

“What do you mean?”

“We found this in your room.” Mom said taking a piece of paper out of her purse. It was the note I wrote before I left home.

My parents are gone and I have this huge house all to myself, feeling lost. My life may seem perfect to everyone... I have everything I could have, everything money can buy, but there is one thing missing in my life, the one thing money can’t buy... love.

I went to the park today, just to kind of clear my mind and get fresh air but it just made me feel like shit you know? There were so many families... ugh I'm so jealous of happy families, of those parents I see having a great time with their kids, hugging them, saying ‘I love you’. My parents never say or do that... work is more important to them than I am.

I’m sick of this, I want a new life and I want to have fun! I’m young and I am free so I will get out of here and look for adventure, what could go wrong? I’ve been living alone for so many years so I can do this.

I will leave on Wednesday at five o'clock, it is going to be a long trip to London but I will be free and happy.
I just wonder if my parents would care if I left... Would they break down? I don't know, maybe they won't.

She’s leaving home, bye bye.

“Oh…” I said looking at the letter.

“Listen Jane, we know we are not the best parents. We are busy all the time and spend little time with you, but that's because we just want you to have everything.”

“I know you wanted everything for me but-” I felt tears on my eyes. “You never show me any affection, ever!"

“That doesn’t mean we don’t care about you, we do care, Jane, we love you.”

“Then why don’t you show it? Is it so hard to show you love me?" I yelled, tears falling down my cheeks. "I've been here for weeks and you didn't even know! You didn't know because you didn't even bother to call me! You are too busy working to remember you have a daughter!" I wiped my tears and turned around, not wanting to see them. "You never call me to say good night... or to just ask how I've been, or to tell me that you are safe... nothing. It's like I have no parents, like I live by myself! That's why I came here! I didn't want to be alone and bored at home, just waiting for you to come home!"

“We are sorry, sweetie.” Mom said crying.

"We really are." Dad said. “But we are here to make everything okay."

"We want to be a family and we want you to feel loved. Because we do love you Jane." Mom said walking to me and hugging me.

This was just so unexpected, I thought I was never going to see them again but here they were... and now I knew everything was going to get better between my parents and I.

My parents said they were going to stay here for just a few days because they had to go back to work after this, and of course, I understand it. They left about half an hour after they arrived, because they decided to stay in a hotel since I only had one bed and they didn't want me to sleep on the couch, so yeah they left early to look for one and ended up staying in one a couple blocks from my house.

"Guys?" I asked walking upstairs after my parents left. "My parents are gone you can come down." Seconds later my bedroom door opened, revealing the three boys and Julie.

"Is chinese food here?" Niall asked, holding Julie.

"Yeah it's here." I laughed. It was like food was the only thing Niall thought of.

"Great I'm starving." He said handing me Julie and walking downstairs.

"Me too." Louis followed him.

Harry stayed upstairs with me, looking at me with a sympathetic smile and probably wondering how it went with my parents. I smiled back at him and then looked ay Julie's big brown eyes looking at me.

"We should go downstairs I'm starving." I said, breaking the silence.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes." I said smiling. "I'm great actually."

"What did they say?" Harry asked shyly.

"They apologized for everything... and promised they were going to make it better." I smiled at the floor. "That is what I've been expecting for so many years you know? And now it's happening."

"I'm glad it did." He smiled, giving me an awkward hug since I was still carrying Julie.

"Yeah. They are staying here for a few days before they go back to work. I really want to go sightseeing with them and spend time with them. Oh my god I'm so excited!" I laughed. "We should go to a nice restaurant." I said to myself. "This is a special occasion." I then looked at Harry. "Anyway... Let's have some food now."
