My Son and My Boy Band Boyfriend

Chapter 8. Standing next to him

Sorry it's not to long, but there's a cute Niall/Riley moment at the end. BTW any ideas for a couple name? Like Larry for Louis & Harry, ______ for Niall & Riley, leave your ideas below

"Goo" laughed Harry leaning over Draco in his car seat "Goo"

I smiled as I watched them in the rear view mirror and took a quick photo

"Harry really loves that kid" laughed Louis

"Yeah he does" I smiled "I'm glad I brought Draco to see you guys"

"Same here" he grinned "Not everyday the One Direction boys become Uncles"

"I'd love to see the day you become fathers"

"That won't be anytime soon" he smirked "not for me at least"

"Then for w-"

"no one" he chirped

I frowned "You and Harry always do that, you say one thing, mean another and then forget you ever said it when I ask about it, it's confuses me"

"I'm sorry"

There was a silence

"Niall doesn't do that does he?" asked Louis

I shook my head

"Talk to him more, you won't get so confused then"

I rolled my eyes "Your always Gallic about Niall, Niall this Niall that, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were in love with him"

"But you do know better"

"So the only reason I can think of is that, your trying to give us a hard time because there's no way you would be putting us-" I stopped "Your trying to set me up with Niall!?"

Louis nodded "No!"

"You are, You and Harry, you little twats"

"No idea what your talking about" he knelt nodding

"Lou" Harry laughed "I can see you"

I turned to glare at the curly haired boy "You!"

"Me"

"Your trying to set me up with the Irish boy!"

"So What?"

"So what? So what? I'm a teen mother and he's a pop star Harold, that's so what!"

"You two would look good together, am I wrong for trying to give you a happy relationship"

"No but-"

"No buts"

"B-"

"No buts! Nialls a good bloke and I give the okay for him to date you, you two would work well and he's great with Draco, you need someone in your life Riles, You're selling yourself short"

"I don't have time for a boyfriend Harry"

"You do, You also have the right to one"

"I dot want one"

"You said Maybe"

"Yeah Maybe"

"Niall is your maybe"

"No Harry!" I screamed causing both boys to jump "He's not my maybe, he's my never, he has the band, you have the band, I have my job and my kid, I don't have time to play your stupid kids game where you set me up, I don't have time, Draco needs me, I have to look after him!"

"You can still look after him and have a love life"

"I tried that!" I growled "It didn't work"

"If this is about your break up with pat-"

"No this is about me being a mother and not running away from my son"

"you wouldn't-"

"I almost did!"

Harry froze

Louis pulled the car over to the side of the road near the units and I unbuckled my seat belt

"W-What?" whispered Harry

"I didn't want him, I didn't want this life so I went out to get Milk and then tried to run but I couldn't leave them-" I sighed a shaky breath "That's when the house caught fire"

"You, You-"

I opened the door and ran, slamming past Liam, Zayn and Niall on the side walk

I could hear Harry behind me "She's upset, we need to get her-"

"I'll go" said the Irish voice

"Riley!" screamed Louis

"Riley come back!" added Liam And Zayn

There were footsteps behind me but I continued to run

I collapsed under a street light, bringing my knees to my chest and sobbing quietly

"Riley!" chocked Niall from a small distance away "Riley!"

I continued to cry, ignoring him as he got closer

"Riley, what's wrong?" he breathed, slumping down beside me, body shaking from lack of breathe

"Leave me alone" I sobbed

"No, your upset, what's wrong?"

"I'm a crappy mother"

"No your not"

"I am!" I screamed "I wanted to abandon him, to up and leave him and Pat but-"

"but you couldn't bring himself to do it"

I sighed and buried my head into his shoulder

"Your not a terrible mother" he whispered, stroking my hair and brushing away my tears "Your a stressed teenager, you need help, you haven't had proper help since Pat died, you just need that support again"

"Where am I going to get that, my parents won't even speak to me"

"From us" he assured "From me"

I looked up at him through blurry tear filled eyes

"Really?"

"Yes"he smiled "I wouldnt be a very good Uncle if I let you do this on your own"

I lept up and kissed his cheek "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Niall"

He blushed, I could barley see it under the dim light but his cheeks did go pink

He stood, pulling me up with him and walking us back the way we had just run

Back towards the boys and my son

I frowned, looking up at Niall and remembering Harry's words

"no buts, Nialls a good bloke, I give the okay for him to date you"

Harry gave his okay, did that mean Nia had already asked to date me?

Did that mean I was standing next to someone with feelings for me?

He smiled down at me and my stomach lurched

I wrapped both of my arms around his one and cuddled into his side, sheltering myself from the cold wind

That's when the thoughts crept up on me

Was I standing next to some I had feelings for?
