One Week Later

"A few words from her brother." The priest said and Niall walked up to the front of the coffin and looked at it for awhile before speaking into he microphone. Today was the day of Natalie Horan's funeral. Fans have come, our families close friends of ours and hers. Greg was here with Denise and Theo.

Luke and the boys cancelled some concerts to stay and help with Niall.

"Natalie, she was strong, brave, obnoxious, and annoying. Very annoying." He said smiling sadly a bit and making some people smile sadly too.

"I will miss her. I will miss her hugs and kisses. I will miss our pointless fights over who gets the last piece of bread. I will miss her jokes. I will miss everything about her. She was one of the strongest most bravest sister I've ever had. Well, she was my only sister.

Already, her death had been hard to cope with. She told me to stay strong, but I can't. Not without her. She told me to have a little black box under her bed. Inside were notes. Notes to us. Notes to fans. Notes to family. Friends. Everyone she could think of. About her death.

Pictures of us as kids. Pictures of our nephew Theo. Pictures of family, Mum, Dad, Greg, Denise. She was saving the moments. Sometimes I wish I could sing her to sleep again. Be there for her when she cries.

Just hold her in my arms. Just one last time. But I never got that. And I never will, again. No one can replace her. And if they try, they better try pretty damn hard because she is half of my heart. But now, now I understand that she's in a better place. Somewhere who people don't hate on her.

The last thing she said was, 'Sometimes I wonder, did I deserve this life' and she did. She lived life at the fullest. She never gave up. She did everything she could to help others, just like we wanted to. I'll never forget her because she is half of me." He said and walked back to us and the crowd was silent. He made people cry. Fans cry. Maybe even Natalie cry from above. We said prayers and then left the cemetery.

"Well boys. Let's get ready for a show." Paul said wiping tears away. We nodded sadly and left for the stadium with all of the band and Lou Teasdale and her daughter and husband to the stadium.

"Tonight. Instead of Midnight Memories. We will be singing Little Things in memory of Niall's sister Natalie Horan." Louis spoke and the crowd went silent. A slide show of pictures and video clips of Natalie were now playing on the big screen.

"Come on Niall! Let's go outside!" Her faint voice played from a video clip from the screen. It was when we were 10.

Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me

I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes
When you smile
You've never loved
Your stomach or your thighs,
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've never loved
The sound of your voice on tape
You never want
To know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you,
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you
And you'll never treat yourself right, darling, but I want you to.
If I let you know I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh.

And I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you,
Oh, it's you,
It's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you
And all these little things

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you,
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you

When we finished the song it ended with a video clip of Natalie and I filmed by our Mum when we were 10. We were laying on the grass holding hands and looking at the stars.

"Someday, we're going to grow up and have a happy family. We'll never forget each other, right Ni?" She said looking at me. "Promise." I said and we hooked pinkies. The video ended of a photo of her and I making a heart out of our hands, then coffin with many flowers on top in the middle of the heart.

"I love you Natalie. You'll never be forgotten." I said and I looked at the crowd and saw Natalie and Mum in the front row waving. Mum had her arm around Natalie's shoulders and I smiled as they smiled at waved.
