I'm leaving for vacation this week with my mom and her friend. All I know is that she has a 19 year old son named Niall. Me and him were really good friends from the time we were two.I haven't seen him in fourteen years, i'm really excited. But.....I'm not so excited about this trip because my dad recently left us and I know my mom is trying to get me out of the house to forget the night my own father turned on me. "Layla come on, Niall can't wait to see you!!!!" My mom yelled from downstairs. "I'm coming mom hang on." I say applying my last bit of makeup to my eyes. The last time I saw Niall was at a Christmas party that his parents threw for the neighborhood. My mom has been best friends Niall's mom, Maura Horan. I walk down the stairs and realize Niall look at me for a moment and then look down at his feet "H-Hi.." He mumbles, obviously blushing. "Hi Ni!" Niall smiles and looks up a little realizing that I remembered his nickname I gave him when we were younger. "Lay!" His face goes straight to me, taking me in. "You're voice got deeper Horan!" I exclaim. "Well ya know puberty!" He giggles in his adorable little laugh. "Who's the brace face now?" I poke his cheek and smile big revealing my now straight, brace free teeth. Niall slings his arm around my shoulders and I smile. "Remember when we dated?" Niall spoke softly. "That didn't count...we were only seven years old" He just smiles and picks up my bags from behind me. "So are you ready for a 37 car ride?" Niall asked. "Umm I guess...." I say disgusted. I hate car rides. "Let's go then!" We walk to the car and Niall opens the car back-door for me and I hop in, he does as well and sits next to me.
