Chapter One

“Niall…”

“Nialllllllll…”

“NIALL!”

Niall jumped around as he pulled up his pants and quickly ran a hand through his blond hair.

“Where is my breakfast?!” Caroline complained.

Niall walked out of his room and went to the kitchen, picking up her tray of food she made him make every morning for her. He brought it outside and put it down on the table in front of her.

“Move it boy,” she huffed. “You’re blocking my view.”

He moved away and noticed that she was looking at Harry and Zayn. Niall grinned as he watched them himself; loving to see them every time in the morning just because it brought a big smile on his face.

Caroline was convinced that the boys were destined to be dancers when really they couldn’t dance for shit. They were horrible – but that didn’t stop her from hiring a personal trainer for them and everything.

The two boys had to go through that torture every morning for a good half hour to try and “help” with their “dancing skills”. Niall’s great grandma could probably do better than them any day.

“What are you doing?” Caroline asked rudely as she swallowed some of her food. “You have to get to work.”

“But I have a Maths quiz this morning,” Niall protested, biting down on his bottom lip.

“And you’ve got some tables to collect orders from, now go!” She rolled her eyes, eating more of her food.

Niall sighed and couldn’t help but do the same thing as he always did; he followed Caroline’s orders.

Paul was at the restaurant, getting people’s orders and making sure everything was in place. Truth be told, Paul hated what Caroline had done with the place after Bobby had passed away.

She covered up the quaint wallpaper and turned it into some spunky red colour. The old wallpaper was much better and made Nando’s seem like such a happy place; a place where families ate together and everyone was happy.

There were quotes on the wallpaper but Caroline changed everything up after she took over. Nando’s wasn’t the same after that and everyone knew it. Paul absolutely hated working at Nando’s because of Caroline but there was one reason he stayed; Niall.

Niall was ringing up an order when Paul spotted him. Paul walked over and frowned. “What are you doing here Ni?”

“Just ringing this up,” Niall replied, still looking down at his work.

“You’re going to be late for school and don’t you have that Maths test today?” Paul asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I’ll get there soon enough,” Niall added, still not even halfway done.

Paul took it from Niall and the boy’s blue eyes looked up, shocked.

“Wha-“

“Go to school now, I’ll take care of the rest. Just go,” Paul said.

Niall grinned and hugged Paul tightly, yelling out a “Thanks Paul” before running down over to Louis’ house. Niall said hello to the twins before Louis finally came out.

He was wearing a green shirt with some black pants and a red beanie over his brownish-caramel-coloured hair. Niall raised his eyebrows and chuckled a bit, making Louis give him a glare.
