"Are you alright?!!" They both ask.
"I burned myself on my straightner.." You say as your hand stings with increasing pain.
The boys take you into the kitchen and baby you. Honestly, you enjoy the attention and affection you're getting from the boys. They're going out of their way to make you laugh and forget about the burns.
"They're both so sweet.." you think to yourself. "But..." You look over at Liam who is now sitting in the floor with Niall playing Mario Kart. He has on a big, blue, foam, cowboy hat and his batman shirt.
You smile and think "But Liam is the one for me."
That evening you and Liam have plans to go to Starry Nights with his bandmates and their girlfriends. Starry Nights is a Christmas Light Show in the park and is very cold, but gives you a reason to snuggle into Liam.
You have spent all day planning out how you were going to break the news to Niall and the easiest way was at Starry Nights.
As all of you are walking through the park admiring the lights you make up a reason to pull Niall aside so that it's just you two. You say,
"Niall!! There's a light set up I think you missed!! Come on! I have to show it to you! Yall go ahead!! We'll be back in a second!!"
You and Niall scurry off away from the group and as you're walking Niall says,
"This is about earlier today, isnt it..?"
"Yeah.. Look, Niall.. That kiss was amazing. I mean, it swept me off my feet, but I love Liam so much and.." You were suddenly cut off by a heartbroken Niall who was smiling to hide his pain as he said,
"(Y/N), I understand.. I do! And Liam is one of my best mates so I only want what's best for him and you and I admit that I was very much out of line when I kissed you, but dont you remember that spark?? We both felt it."
You stop walking and look up at Niall. You had totally forgotten about the spark...until now.
Niall continued on to say,
"I respect your decision to stay with Liam and all and I accept it... (Y/N), can I kiss you just one more time... Please??"
Without really thinking you nodded yes and Niall poured every ounce of passion, love, romance, and emotion he had into that kiss. You were swept off your feet, once again. Once Niall finally pulled away he looked deep into your eyes, forced a smile, and hugged you tightly. After about 10 seconds Niall headed back to the others while you hung back for a bit to collect yourself.
All of the sudden you see Zayn's girlfriend, who is also your closest friend, Perrie walking up to you. Her body language and facial expression told you that she had seen everything.
When Perrie reached you the only word that came out of her mouth was, "Talk."
You both find a park bench and you spill your guts to her. You and Perrie are close enough of friends that there's not a thing you could say that would be weird or awkward... That helped a lot.
Once you got done venting Perrie grabbed your hand, looked at you, and said,
"Now this spark you felt with Niall, did you ever feel it with Liam?"
You take a moment to think back and surely enough, you never felt a spark. You look at the ground and shake your head.
Perrie smiles as she reaches over and tilts your head up so you're looking at her and says,
"Then congradulations (Y/N), looks like Niall's your man."
You smile back and start to think it all over.
A huge grin spreads across your face and you hug Perrie's neck and thank her for her help.
You run to the boys, pull Liam aside, and tell him that you're sorry, but you just weren't in love. Liam, being the sweetheart that he is, smiles and gives you a hug. Liam's far from dumb so he knew you and Niall had to have a thing going on, but he wished you two the best and gave yall his blessing.
You run and jump into Niall's arms and kiss him as passionately as possible.
7 years later you and Niall are married with 3 children. Two boys and one girl. Niall was the picture perfect daddy and your children nearly idolized him and as much as he loved his sons, his daughter, who happened to be the youngest, reserved a special place in his heart. She had her daddy wrapped around her little finger and shared his massive appetite. The oldest son you named after Liam for obvious reasons and the second was named Barrett, after an old friend of your's.
