**Niall's P.O.V**
"Okay boys, I'm off to bed, turn everything off when you head up" Liam said to me and Harry. I was munching on some chips waiting for everyone to get up and leave. I've been waiting for me and Harry to get a lone moment so he can tell me what is up with him. Once I heard Liam's door close I turned to Harry who was watching the movie as if it was the most interesting one he has ever seen.
I did what any normal person would do at a time like this, waiting for someone to tell them what's wrong, I threw a chip at him. He picked the chip up from his lap and examined it, shrugged and just ate it. What did he think I did to it?! Weirdo. Back to business. . .
"Soooo" I started not sure how to ask him why he was spacing out at dinner and barely eating. He finished chewing on the chip and swallowed it, then sighed.
"I know you want to know" He said and I just stared at him. he leaned forward and placed his elbows on his knees and looked down, trying to figure out how to start.
I on the other hand got up and took a seat next to him, chips in my lap, leaning back against the couch, waiting for him to start talking whenever he was ready. I didn't dare break the silence by eating.
"It's really nothing Niall, I just-" I cut him off.
"If it was nothing then you wouldn't have spaced out, enjoyed the evening like always and you would've been joking around during the movie. Something is bugging you, so talk" I told him while nibbling on another chip. He sighed, knowing I wasn't going to let it go.
"It's just, okay tell me again, what is this mystery girls' name again?" He asked looking up at me. I tilted my head to the side confused as to what she had to do with any of this. But I told him again anyways.
"Her name's Mayte" That's when he looked away and at the ground, muttering to himself. I could barely hear him. Then he got a bit louder and I realized he was chanting her name over and over again. What is going on?
"What does her name have to do with anything Haz?" I asked him as he kept chanting her name creepily.
He ignored me and a few minutes of silence passed as he was lost in his thoughts. I was about to ask him again but his words stopped me.
"Her name. Mayte, it sounds. . . . really familiar" He whispered. My eyes went wide, really? Really!?! I'm interested in one of his ex girlfriends?! I mean we are living really close to where he grew up, it is possible.
"Please don't tell me she's an ex girlfriend" I said to him, my eyes still wide as he quickly turned his head to face me.
"NO! No, not an ex girlfriend. It's just really familiar, I can't figure out . . . though" He told me, I lost him at the end of that. But I mean there could've been another girl that he knew with that name, it couldn't be the same Mayte. It's common enough, right?
"It's just a name Harry. Why does it bother you so much? You might have had a girl in your class with the same name, it happens-" I started to tell him.
"No that's not it's bugging me a lot. Like there is more with that name I just can't put my finger on it" He told me. He turned his gaze to the floor and made and upset "ARghhhhh" sound as he pulled at his hair.
"Well what can I do to help you get unstuck mate?" I asked him not wanting him to keep pulling his hair out over his weird thoughts of her name. He just looked up at me.
"My mum" He said. "My MUM!" He said louder this time. I just stared at him like he was crazy. His mum? What does she have to do with anything?
"She was the one that would say something about a 'Mayte'" Harry finished as he fell back against the couch sighing as he figured out why it sounded familiar.
"Okay?" I said as I kept looking at him, why would she even mention a Mayte?
"I don't know why though, she would, arrughhh, memories are so fuzzy" He said as he squeezed his eyes shut. He seriously needs to just call his mother.
"Harry why don't you just call your mum and ask her about it if it's bugging you all that much? While you figure that out, I'm going to bed, I'm meeting Mayte at the park tomorrow morning and I don't want to be late" I said to him. He just nodded and I whacked him on the back of the head. He just rubbed the back of his head as he smiled up at me from getting his phone out.
I made my way to my room and shut the door behind me. I took off my clothes and threw on some sweats and flopped into bed snuggling up nice and tight in my bed sheets. I let out a sigh and closed my eyes thinking about today's events, as I slowly fell asleep.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up to my phone buzzing and beeping like crazy since I set an alarm to wake me up early enough so I could get ready to go hang out with Mayte and Xander. I really am looking forward to meeting her son, I mean he is her world. I could tell when I asked her about him, her eyes lit up like you picked the right topic. A mother's love is something special, I can tell.
I jumped out of bed, and into the shower.
I dried myself off and walked into my room to changed. I picked a simple black v-neck shirt and put on a pair of tan chinos. I went back into the bathroom to fix my hair and then went to put on some black supras and grabbed a grey jumper along with my phone and walked down the hall and down the stairs to the kitchen. I smelt something cooking and I basically ran to it. Harry had already made breakfast and was setting some plates out. He looked up when I walked in.
"He Ni" He said and went back to what he was doing. I returned it and sat down and started to shovel the pancakes with all the syrup and chocolate and strawberries and whipped cream down my throat at record speed. None of the other boys were down yet, it was just me and Harry. Once I finished up I checked my phone for the time and I realized I finished breakfast a bit too fast, I still had some time to kill before heading to the park.
"Hey Harry want me to go wake the boys so their breakfast won't get cold?" I asked him as I started to stand. He turned to face me, thought about it and shook his head. okay?
"I want to talk to you first Niall" He said simply and I sat back down in my chair, curious as to where this was going. I nodded at him to start.
"Well I was just wondering if I could join you to the park?" He asked, not looking at me. Why does he want to come with?
"Harry, I told you boys last night that I didn't want to have you guys me-" I started to say no to him but he cut me off.
"Niall, please, can I meet her?" He asked again looking up at me with pleading eyes. I stared at him.
"Harry, what did your mum say last night?" I asked, knowing that she must have said something for him to want to meet her.
He froze and looked away from me and started messing with some silverware in front of him. He sighed and looked up at me again.
"I can-" He started but was cut off by Louis running down the stairs and tackling Harry to the floor in a bear hug.
"Morning lads!" He said as he got up from Harry and went around the counter to sit next to me on a stool and started to eat. Harry looked at me with an apologetic smile. I shrugged.
I checked my phone again once Liam came down dragging Zayn with him, and saw it was time to go. I chugged down some milk and started getting up. Harry watched me as I got up. I sighed.
"Well see you all later lads, I'm out. Oh! And Harry, don't forget to go get me that candy you owe me" I said as I walked backwards hoping Harry understood what I meant. The lads muttered their byes. I couldn't have the other lads, well mainly Louis getting on my back because I am going to let Harry meet Mayte before anyone else. He looked up at me with wide eyes and then started to finish off his food as quick as possible. As I was closing the door I heard Louis comment, "Geez Haz, stop eating like Niall!" I chuckled and pulled my phone out to text Haz to hurry up and I would meet him on the corner of the street.
I waited at the corner for Harry who was taking his sweet time. I decided that I would text Mayte to tell her that Harry was coming so she wouldn't be surprised when I got there with him.
To: Mayte :D
'Hey heading out, you might beat me there, waiting on Harry, he wants to meet you! Hope it's okay. See you soon -Ni'
Sent the message and then I heard someone running towards me, I looked up and saw Harry trying to run and put his shoes on at the same time as he tried to put his jumper on. His hair was drying from what I'm guessing was a quick shower for him. I chuckled and shook my head.
"Alright there?" I asked him as he stopped in front of me finally putting his shoes on right and zipping up his jumper. He just sighed and smiled.
"Thanks for letting me come" He said as we started to walk to the park. I just nodded as I felt my pocket buzz and knew it was from Mayte.
From: Mayte :D
'It's okay, see you both there -May'
I smiled and put my phone back in my pocket. I felt Harry staring at me so I turned to look at him. He gave me a big smile.
"You really like her don't you?" He asked. I turned to face forward to make sure we didn't run into any fans or just bump into people. I nodded.
"I don't know her that well but, I like her enough to want to get to know her" I told him honestly. He nodded to show he understood.
We kept silent as we walked and came up to the park. We stopped and turned towards each other, then back to the park, mischievous smiles on our faces and we bolted for the swings.
"Beat yak!" I told him and stuck my tongue out at him as I started to swing. HE just laughed at me and we waited for any sign of Mayte and her son to show up. I pulled my phone out and texted her again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Mayte's P.O.V**
From: Niall :)
'Swinging. can't wait to meet the little guy -Ni'
I glanced at Nando who was sitting next to me in the car. We have been at the park for 10 minutes already and we were just sitting there, waiting.
"Come on May, we gotta get out and go see them, you can't hide forever" He told me as he opened his door and went to pull Xander out.
I was still sitting in my seat, scared to get out. I saw both my brother and Niall run to the swings and start laughing like little kids as they started to swing. I can't believe Harry came with him. Deep breaths May, deep breaths. I can do this.
I opened my door and held my hands out to take Xander into my arms. Nando handed him over and I grabbed onto Nando's arm as we made our way to the swings. I hid behind Nando and had Xander's head pushed against my neck.
"Xander be good for mama si?" I asked him quietly. He nodded his head and wrapped his arms around me tighter. I felt Nando come to a stop and I snuck a peek and saw that Niall was getting off his swing and walking towards us. Harry jumped off and walked behind him.
"Hey, I'm Nando, May's cousin" Nando said and I heard Niall chuckle along with Harry.
"Sorry I'm not trying to be rude its just-" Niall started. Then a different voice took over the end, I knew it was Harry.
"It's just that your name is the same as Niall's favorite place to eat, Nando's. It's cool. I'm Harry by the way." He said as I heard Nando join in with them in laughing at the irony.
I put Xander down and he stood behind Nando, hiding behind his legs. I stepped out from behind Nando. Now or never.
"Hey Niall" I said and walked up to him and hugged him He hugged back instantly. Then I turned to face Harry. We locked eyes and I slowly walked up to him, "Nice to meet you Harry" I whispered as I hugged him. He was hesitant but he hugged back, I pulled away quickly and smiled at both of the boys smiling at me. My dimples now displaying themselves.
Harry's smile faded, and he stiffened. He stared at me and all I did was stare back, his eyes roaming my face and I just looked away.
He's gonna know soon enough, that I'm his little sister.
