Niall's P.O.V

"Okay and this was when I was eight and I dressed up as Cinderella for Halloween. Oh God, I think that costume in the attic or something." Liz said, looking down at the photo album.

                I had my arm around her shoulders and she was leaning against my side. Her legs were tucked in and the photo album was on her lap. I can't believe we are leaving tomorrow. I really like her family, they are all so great. I cannot wait to come back here and visit. I know it'll be a while, but I can't wait for the next time. Plus I love seeing Liz so happy with her family.

"You look adorable." I said, looking at the picture.

                Liz laughed a little and flipped the page, laughing again at the pictures. I smiled, watching the way her eyes lit up at a picture. She really was so perfect and I'm really glad that I'm here with her. She laughed again at another picture, this time one of her at about twelve or so. She was on a stage with a microphone in her hand. It was obviously a talent show or something, because you could see heads from other people closer up.

"I lost that one. This bitch named Hailey won and then dragged about it to me. Oh and do you want to know what she did then? She called me ugly. That stupid bitch... look where I am now while you're stuck working at Wal-Mart." Liz said, mumbling the last part to herself.

"Don't worry Liz, I think that you are a lot prettier than her." I said, leaning over and pressing a simple kiss to her temple.

"You haven't seen her and I'm not letting you go near that crazy bitch. Besides, she had a really bad nose which made her look even uglier." Liz said, flipping the page.

                I laughed and leaned back against the couch, pulling her back down with me. I closed my eyes and leaned my head against her shoulder, listening to her laughing about some pictures and Kacey playing with Barbies on the floor. She really was adorable, Kacey that it. I'm really glad that she finally talked to me. Sure it took me putting on some makeup to do it, but it made her like me. And that's all that matters to me.

                I could also hear Liz's parents in the kitchen, talking and joking around. They really are such a great couple. Liz always told me that they've been married for almost twenty eight years and were still so happy together. I know that Liz looks up to her parents so much because of the fact that they are so in love. I'm really glad that they like me. It's pretty obvious they do like me, so I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Liz probably has that weight on her shoulders, but as soon as we get to Ireland tomorrow it'll be gone.

                My parents are both so excited about meeting Liz. My mom's been going crazy and she keeps texting me and asking me what Liz's favorite foods are, flowers, etc. My Dad's a lot more calmer, but he's still excited about it. And don't get me started on Greg. He's already told me about all the things he's going to tell Liz. In fact, he even caught his wife listening to Liz's Brave CD. She claimed that she had to support her future sister in law, but in all honesty I had no problem with it.

"Babe, want to go for a walk? I used to do it before the X Factor and I kind of missed it." Liz asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

                I opened my eyes and took my head of her shoulder. The photo album was now closed and sitting on the coffee table. Liz was looking at me with her big blue eyes wide, and I knew I wouldn't be able to resist her. As much as I didn't want to walk around in the hot August air, I didn't want to see her frown more.
