The plane landed in my hometown of Mullingar, and to be honest I'm really happy to be home. I call a cab and once it comes I quickly get inside. Once we reach my house I drop the cash on the dashboard and get my bags from the boot. 

I take a deep breath before knocking on the door. The door snaps open quickly and I am greeted with my Aunt Joan's laugh. 

"Peter!" She yells with her thick accent. "Your boy's home!" She cheers dragging me inside. I am greeted with all of my relatives squeezed together at the dining room table.

"Aye!" They cheer as the older ones hold up their pints of beer. The younger ones jump up on me and knock my body down onto the floor.

"Hey guys" I wheeze. 

"Make yourself at home dear! There is plenty of cornbeef and hash to spare if your cousins haven't eaten it all" she says smacking two of my cousins in the back of the head.

This is what I've missed for 6 years, all of my younger cousins are grown up now and my Mum and Dad have gotten older. But nothing has really changed in this town. It's funny how things never change in this old town... I laugh inside my head. 

"How are you doin' old pal?" Someone says from behind me. I turn around and I meet face to face with my best friend, Aedan. 

Aedan was my best friend since first grade, we would hang out all the time and pretend we were cowboys, superheroes, and singers. He was the one who told me to persue my singing career, after our major fail at creating a rock band. Without Aedan and his stupid ideas, I wouldn't have found my voice.

"Aedan!" I say pulling him into a hug. "Have you been takin' good care of my family?" I ask as he nods. 

"A man is only as good as his word" he says passing me a pint. "So how has it been these last years?" He asks.

"Well the band is going great, but we're going on a break for a while" I pause. "That's why I'm back home, I wanted to see my family" I say as he laughs.

"Well it'll be great to have you around then" he says ruffling my hair. "It hasn't really been the same since you left" he adds patting me on the shoulder and walking away. 

After everyone left, I place my bags upstairs and lie down on my bed. My Mum has been keeping this place clean for me just in case I come home. My drawers are full of clothes that I may never wear, mostly because they probably don't fit. The last time I stepped foot out of this room was when I was 17, and my room is full of Ed Sheeran and Michael Bublé posters. 

I stare at the ceiling for awhile just thinking about all the things that have missed these last years. After awhile I drift off to sleep.

I wake up with the smell of fresh coffee filling my nose. I drag my sleepy body downstairs and I hear my Mum yell at me. 

"Niall James! Put a shirt on!" She scolds as I realize all I am wearing is my boxers. 

"Sorry Mum" I say rubbing my eyes. I see Aedan appear from out of the kitchen  with a glass of Orange Juice.

"Hey Niall would you like to have breakfast with us?" He asked.

"At your house?" I question, I mean it's not that far it just next door.

"Yeah, my Mum is excited to see you again" he shrugs as I nod. 

"Sure Mate" I say as he laughs.

"Do you remember our hand shake?" He asks as I give him a devilish grin. 

"Your on" I say as we do our infamous handshake.

"I'm surprised Horan" he nods in respect. "Now go dress in something nice so my Mum thinks your not a bad influence" he laughs as I roll my eyes. 

"Since when has she thought that?" I laugh. 

"I don't know, that woman confuses me everyday" he says as I head upstairs and change into a loose white shirt, jeans, and my white vans. I come down stairs and we both head out the door. 

"Aedan Fletcher Walsh you better have brought that boy over because I have enough hash to feed the entire village!" Aedan's Mum yells as I chuckle. 

"Hi Mum!" I say as she puts the dishes on the table. 

"Oh you've gotten so big!" She squeals. "But you haven't gotten an ounce of meat on your bones! What have those Americans been feeding you!" She says hugging me.

"Mum" Aedan sighs.

"Don't Mum me, I'm serious Aedan if he spent those six years with me he would plump and ready to get himself a beautiful bride like you should be" she points at Aedan. 

"Mum I-" he says as she cuts him off.

"See that's exactly why Niall is my Favorite son" she gleams kissing my cheek. "Niall tuck in you shirt" she scolds heading back into the kitchen.

"She hasn't changed one bit" I chuckle. 

"Believe me that woman will not get off my arse for one second on the marriage bullshit. She wants me to marry a full blooded Irish woman with meat on her bones and make a lot of grandchildren" he says as I burst in laughter. 

"Your right I do! And if for one second you think I'll let you slide it's not gonna happen" she scolds motioning us to the table and giving us big portions of blood sausage, beans, egg, hash, ham, and toast.

"Thanks Mum" Aedan and I say together as she kisses our cheeks. 

"Anything for my boys" she pauses looking at an empty seat. "Where is Caitriona?" She asks Aedan. I forgot about his sister Caitriona, whenever I was over she would always lock herself into her room and not talk to anyone. She really hated me from what I could remember, and I don't know what I ever did.

"She's probably with that Ronan guy of whatever" he says shoveling food into his mouth. 

"Caitriona Aimee Walsh!" She yells as a girl runs down the stairs throwing on her leather jacket. She has long brown hair and piercing blue eyes. She also has a golden nose ring and full pink lips.

"Coming Mum!" She says. 

"Dear do you remember Niall?" She asks as I stand up for the table wiping my hands on my pants. 

"Hi!" I say with my mouth full of food.

"Not really" she shrugs pulling her hair out of her jacket. 

"Niall, Caitriona, Caitriona, Niall" Mrs. Walsh states as I nod putting me hand out. 

"Call me Kate" she says taking my index finger lightly between two of her fingers and shaking it. "Mum I'm going to Ronan's" she says walking towards the door. 

"Called it" Aedan said biting into his toast.

"Shut up Aedan" she snaps. "I want you to stay away from that fella he is a no good Mingr!" She yells as she opens the door 

"Dead on Mum! He is not a Savage! It's not like I'm gonna get goosed!" She yells slamming the door. 

"I'm sorry for that hon" she says as the tea kettle screeches. "I better get that" she says leaving the table. 

"Who is Ronan?" I ask Aedan. 

"He is a Boggar who is an Arseways, I don't understand why she like him" he says cracking his knuckles.

"Oh" I say. 

"Come on, how about we do something fun" he  smiles raising his eyebrows.
