The Help- Niall Horan Story

Chapter 2

“How big is the house?” Isabel asked as her and Maddie washed the dishes that evening.

“Its huge, like these flat but one house. Only two people live there as well. I mean Mr. Horan has another son but he’s moved out so its just him and Niall” Maddie tried to keep her voice down as Poppy and Lewis we’re crashed out on the sofa while watching cartoon reruns.

“What is this Niall like then?” Isabel questioned, placing the knifes and forks back in the draw.

“Blonde, like Lewis with eyes that can kill though” She began explaining. “I don’t know, the way he looked at me. It was…different?”

“Does someone fancy their new boss?” Isabel laughed, wiping her playfully with the tea towel.

“He is not my boss, he’s my bosses son” She replied, dodging the towel. “And I am staying away from him, for all I know he’s bad news and we need the money”

“Right we need to get these two in there so I can watch 90210” Isabel sighed, walking over to the sleeping siblings.

“I’ll get Pops” Maddie taxed.

“No way Lewis is heavier” She argued back in a low tone.

“I taxed her” Maddie childishly poked her tongue out at her, while carefully picking the 4 year old up into bed. They both tucked them in tightly before crashing on the sofa in front of the TV.

“What time did mum go out tonight?” Maddie asked the question she was trying to avoid.

“Around 6?” An hour before Maddie got home.

“What did they say when they saw her?” She referred back to her younger siblings.

“She left before they could say anything” She mumbled.

“Im sorry I’m not here” Maddie apologized.

“You said it yourself, we need money. I can look after them, its fine. You were looking after all 3 of us, mum and yourself and my age!” Isabel smiled proudly at her older sister.

“Lewis, come on I can’t be late on my second day” Maddison fretted as her brother was running late for school again.

“I found it!” He called grabbing his jumper from behind the sofa before they headed out the door.

Right on time Maddie made walked up the drive way to her new work place. Using her spare key, she pulled open the double doors, closing them quietly not to wake Niall. Mr Horan left the house at 8am and didn’t get back until later most nights so left a list on the fridge titled “To Do:” The list included different chores such as vacuum a certain room, clean a certain car and so on. As Maddie read the list marked ‘Wednesday’ to find out her duties of the day, the sound of two people echoed from the giant hall way.

“You’ll call right?” A desperate voice asked. Maddie poked her head around the corner to see a girl her age dressed in a pretty short dress, holding her heels. Her hair was messy just like her make up.

“Of course I will” Niall lied, opened the door gesturing her exist.

“You promise?” She sounded almost desperate.

“Uh huh” He nodded just before shutting the door. Niall ruffled his hair before turning around to see Maddison standing there.

“Good morning” She nodded, taking the polish and duster into Mr. Horan’s office opposite the hallway. Niall was quick on his feet to follow her in. “Are you even allowed in here?” She sighed as he slouched back into his father’s chairs and put his two feet on the desk. He simply shrugged his shoulders, placed his arms behind his head and sank lower. Trying to ignore Niall, Maddie got to work, cleaning the ornaments and shelves in the office. When it came to cleaning the desk, Niall just smirked. “Can you move your legs please?” Maddie asked politely.

“Let me think” He sighed rubbing his non-existent beard. “No, work around me” His face was smug as he made a hand action for her to carry on. Maddie sprayed part of the desk before wiping it clean. As she carried on spraying the rest of the desk, not completely on accident, Maddison sprayed Niall’s leg making him pull them back quickly.

“Oh sorry, if you actually wore clothes then you wouldn’t have this problem” Once again Niall was only dressed in white boxers.

“Ha, like you don’t love it” He flirted.

“The probability of me ‘loving’ your body is as about as high as you calling that girl again” Niall was shocked at her come back but Maddie just left the office to continue working.

“Maddison, wait!” He called. “Im Hungry”

“Okay. Then go get something to eat” She replied, putting the duster away.

“Make me a sandwich” He laughed.

“Im not a cook, Niall” Maddie explained.

“Linda’s out sick, so get cooking” He spoke smugly. All Maddie wanted to do was slap his smirk from his disrespectful face until she thought of Poppy, Lewis and Isabel. ‘Don’t let him get to you, Maddie. He’s playing games with you. He’ll get bored and leave you to it soon as long as you don’t let him win.’
