It's A Bumpy Ride. *Niall Horan Finished*

Chapter 1

When I pulled up to the house I noticed it was just Niall's car there, I sighed out of relief; it was only Niall home. I didn't buy enough for all the boys, although I should have since they're basically at our house all the time, hell I am pretty sure I only bought Niall a snack and that is if I let him have mine also.

I shut the car off, grabbed the food and my purse and walked up the path then into the house. I could hear the television in the living area on so I sat the food on the table and walked in to find it empty. I searched the whole house and found noting of him, where the hell is he then? I thought about calling him but then I remembered he had to go in for a meeting with Simon. Since the tour ended they have been finding ways to get publicity, like they would need any everyone knows who they are now.

Before eating I ran upstairs and took a long shower, I grabbed the some sweats, undergarments, and a tank top then plugged up my phone to a speaker. I have it only in the bathroom so I can have some time to sing; yes in the shower. Before getting undressing I turned the water on and let it heat up then started undressing and taking the bandage off that covered my new tattoo.

Usually I like my water really hot but I have to watch my tattoo and nose. They don't really hurt unless something is hitting it directly. Now they are since I can't avoid the water. The song made me really think about being back home in Ireland. I thought about my family for a second, I guess I would be lying if I said I don't think of them often. Sam, Sierra, and Alexandria moved to New York for his job and Jerry, Josh, and his family still live in West Virginia.

I turned the water off, wrapped myself in a towel that was on the handle beside the shower door before getting out. Quietly singing to myself I got dressed in the clothes. The sweats and shirt were Niall's so they were a little big on me.

After dressing I walked back downstairs and into the kitchen to eat. When I sat down at the table I heard the front door open and five very loud boys walking to where I was. I continued to eat as they all filed in the dining room talking about whatever the meeting was about. I looked up just in time to see Niall's eyes widen as he smelt the Nando's aroma in the room.

Before I could even laugh I was pulled into a very tight and painful hug.

"Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" He asked as he planted sloppy kisses all over my face. The boys all groaned while I laughed a little. He still hasn't released his grip on my side if anything it's increased.

"Yeah I have heard you say it once or twice but right now can you let go of me, new tattoo and it's kind of painful." Once I said it his hands loosen quite a bit; I mentally sighed and looked at the boys.

They all perked up at the word tattoo, I sighed out loud this time and stood up, pulling the new bandage off to show off the new ink. The cold air that was hitting it made the pain cease a bit but not much. All the boys took notice immediately and I smiled.

"Since I have this one on the other side about my dad this, I thought this one should defiantly be about my mom." I told them. They all smiled a little as I said it.

My mom was still a touchy subject but I learned when and how I should grieve.

I looked up to see the other four boys nodding their heads and talking. I cleared my throat to get their attention.

"So do you guys like it?" I questioned.

"Yeah we like it but Louis and I agree that you have turned to the dark side with Harry and Zayn. Those two have corrupted you." Liam said as he looked at the now smirking boys.

"You know, it's true. Remember our camping trip last summer you said that you weren't going to get into our game of getting a new tattoo every week? Well I think you have entered with us just it's every month for you." Harry said as he looked deep in thought and rubbing his 'imaginary' beard.

I wish I could argue with that statement but all of it was true. I now have nine tattoos. The two I got last summer, one that say 'hope' on the side of my wrist, then 'faith' written behind my ear, 'Let it be..' written on my foot, 'keep smiling' on the opposite side of my shoulder, a blown out dandelion on my stomach right beside my belly bottom, a feather on my shoulder blade, and then the new one I got for my mom..

It's a quote I found in one of her old books.. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." I saw it and knew that I had to get it for her. I know you're probably thinking what do these have for significance, well not a lot really but I loved each of them. Again you're probably like you're stupid but my body, my rules.

"You know I hate to say this Styles but you're right." I heard a lot of gasps and saw Harry with a bigger smirk on his face. Great, his ego just went through the roof. I feel for Hailey now.

I rolled my eyes and finished my food while listening to the others talk about the meeting. I felt weird eating in front of the boys because they were just standing there without food but they didn't seem bothered by it.

Once Niall and I were done I cleaned the table off and decided to do the dishes in the sink. Niall and the boys headed into the living room to watch whatever was on the television.

I just put the last dish away when I turned on my heels to head into the living area with the boys, unfortunately I forgot about the water that had slashed out and onto the floor whenever I was doing the dishes so instead I was now lying on the floor in pain.

"BLOODY HELL!" I shouted. Of course I couldn't be a smart cookie and land on the other side I just had to land on the side with my new tattoo and also my 'funny' bone. Yeah that nerve is not funny in the least.

The boys were now standing in the kitchen with a lot of different looks. Niall and Liam were concerned while Harry and Zayn were just shocked of what I have no clue, while Louis was laughing his head off.

"Tomlinson, you find my pain funny?" I glared at the now scared boy. He should be the last time we had a pranking war he almost ended up becoming less of a man.

"N-no." He stuttered out while trying to cover up his 'manhood.' Smart chose their Tomlinson.

"Good." I stated as I slowly eased myself up with one of the out stretched hands. I looked up to see who it was. Zayn.

"Thanks." I half smiled at him. Somehow Zayn and I have become a little distant, we hardly ever talk anymore and I kind of miss it. He returned the smile and let go of my hand.

"You're welcome; I know that when a new tattoo has been hit it hurts like hell. Harry hit this one." He said pointing to the MSG that was one his forearm. "And it literally was like being punched over and over."

Harry laughed loudly and the others snickered behind him. I moved to the side so I could glare at them.

"You all think this is funny don't you." I raised my eyebrow. The four boys smiled and nodded their heads. I thought of something that'll shut them up pretty fast and then sow them pain.

"Really, well the next time you three get a tattoo I'm going to bitch slap it, and Niall well since you are a loner without them I guess you'll just get smacked." Their eyes widened and faces paled instantly. Yeah that's right mess with me now.

Zayn's smirk widened at my sassy answer. I walked past all of them and into the living area with all of them trailing behind. None of them bothered to say anything as I took the remote and changed it to another channel. Niall sat beside me while the others spaced themselves out around the room. It felt homey now and I kind of missed this feeling. I sure hope that summer gets here faster.

I thought summer would be different, fun and carefree damn was I wrong.

Okay There It Is... Now I Feel Better! (: Had This Done For A While!
