Crazy But True (Niall Horan FanFic)

Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

 

At 9:15 am I was woken up to the sound of blasting Katy Perry.  I groaned and rolled over to turn off the alarm, sitting up with a sigh.  Today was the day I leave Niall, and who knows how long it would be till I see him again.  The thought made my eyes sting with tears that I quickly blinked away.

I forced myself out of bed and took a quick shower before throwing on my clothes and light eye makeup. Not long after, I found myself downstairs with my bags and waiting for Niall to pick me up.

Niall came strolling in and smiled at me. “Morning beautiful.” He murmured as he leaned down to kiss me softly on the lips. He grabbed a couple my bags and loaded them into his car with me following behind.  On the way to the airport Niall asked me about my plans for when I was in England. 

The plan really was simple: Brianna, Alex, and I… Well we always have the best of times and it’s been that way with the three of us since freshmen year of high school.  So my plan while in England was to hang out with my two best friends which includes going crazy, shopping, and eating.  Niall laughed as I told him just how simple it was. We would take it by day and do whatever we felt like doing that day.

It came to the time when we pulled up to the airport. I bit my lip as I looked over at Niall, “I’m going to miss you,” I whispered. Niall smiled sadly at me, “I’m going to miss you too. We should go get you checked in.”

“Well I guess this is goodbye.” I said with a sigh and got ready to give Niall a kiss. “Goodbye? No, we’ve still got half an hour.” Niall said with a confused expression.

“What? No, you’re not coming in with me.” I said, “People would see and there could be fans and paparazzi!”

“So? If I want to wait with my girlfriend in the airport before she leaves, then I intend on doing so.” Niall said, turning off the car and getting out.  He went around to the back and pulled out my luggage from the trunk.  I got out too and took my backpack from him, putting it on while he rolled my large luggage into the airport. 

There were plenty of people who recognized Niall, people who were whispering, staring, and pointing as we checked my bag but no one approached us.  Lucky for me, Niall was allowed through security to wait at the gate with me. 

We barely had 10 minutes at the gate before a flight attendant announced that they were now boarding the plane.  “Call me when you get there so I can know you landed safely, okay?” Niall asked as he picked up my backpack and handed it to me. “Don’t worry, I will.” I said with a sad smile.  I chewed on my lower lip in fear that I would start to cry, which I didn’t want to do.  “C’mere.” Niall murmured as he pulled me into his arms, hugging me tightly.

“I’m gonna miss you Ni.” I said into his shirt. He pulled back slightly with his arms still around me and pressed our lips together.  I wrapped my arms around his neck as I pulled closer to him, our kiss had deepened slightly but not by much since we were both aware of the fact that we’re in public.  The kiss didn’t last long, and I wished it could’ve lasted longer but I had to get on the plane.  With a last peck on the lips, I pulled away and waved bye to Niall as I walked onto the plane.

Once on the plane I gave my mom a quick call to let her know that I had boarded my plane and promised to call her when I landed in England.  I then proceeded to call Alex to let her and Brianna know that I was on the plane and would be landing in an hour since it was barely an hour’s flight.

I arrived in England feeling beyond excited since I had never been to England before, and now here I was with my two best friends.  Once I had all my bags I went outside catching my first breeze of the London weather.  I flagged down a taxi and gave him the name of my hotel, which I arrived at less than 20 minutes later.  It was a gorgeous hotel and from what I had seen out the taxi window so far, it was a beautiful city. 

I paid and tipped the taxi driver before grabbing my bags and heading into the hotel, taking the elevator up to the 6th floor like Brianna had told me to.  I checked my phone and saw a snapchat from Niall, a picture of his face with a pout saying, ‘I miss you already!:( Did you land?’  When I reached the room that Alex and Brianna had reserved for us I decided to snapchat a photo to Niall.  I took a picture of the door with the room number ‘67A’ on it and put the caption as, ‘No worries, I found my room safely(;’ since the first night we met he had texted me at first to make sure I made it to my room safely. I knocked on the door and soon heard two shouting voices, throwing the door open and I was then enveloped in arms.

“Eeep! You’re here!” Brianna exclaimed, hugging me and then moving to grab one of my bags. “You’re dating Niall FUCKING Horan!” Alex exclaimed as she jumped up and down excitedly, with her arms secured tightly around me the whole time.

“Shh!” I told her, pushing her into the room, “Not something to yell yet.. I don’t know when it’s going to be announced.. Anyway, ahhh! I missed you guys! We’re in fucking London together!”

Brianna gave me a room key, she had asked for 3 so that we would each have our own.  I got situated and a couple hours later Brianna decided that we should go out for dinner and then have a girls’ night to catch up.  We all grabbed our coats and then headed out to walk through the streets of London.  We found a small restaurant that wasn’t too far from our hotel and sat down to dinner there.  A lot of the conversation was based upon what we would do the next day and of course what we’d do for the next 2 weeks, which would include loads of shopping.  It being a Friday night, we noticed that the clubs and bars around were busy but we decided we’d prefer to not go to a club tonight.  Our first definite plan that we were able to make was that we’d go to a club the following night, but that was all we had planned for the following day. 

When we got back to our hotel room we all decided to change into our pajamas for the night. Alex and I pulled out our laptops and Brianna flipped through the TV channels in search of something to watch.  Alex and I decided to share one bed, leaving Brianna to have the other one to herself.  “Brianna get out the candy we got.” Alex said as she opened up Tumblr.  We’re girls, what can I say? On the way home from dinner we stopped for a shitload of candy.

I was checking my emails and responding to the ones from Tyler, my manager.  Luckily Tyler is young and funny, he’s become one of my best friends over the time we’d worked together. “Are you emailing Ty?” Alex asked, peering over my shoulder. I nodded as she laughed out, “Oh Ty-Ty.” I just rolled my eyes in response to that. “Holy shit!” Alex suddenly said, nudging my thigh as she stared at her computer screen.

“What?” I asked, looking over at her with confusion. “Brianna come here!” Alex exclaimed as she positioned her computer so that all 3 of us could see her Tumblr dash. “Wait..” I said, my eyes widening. “Oh my god is that –” Brianna said. “Yeah! Holy crap!” Alex finished for all of us, “I can’t believe there’s a photoset of you and Niall on Tumblr!”

And it was.  It was pictures from the night we met.  The first picture was the two of us laughing at the bar, the second one was of us dancing on the dance floor, the third was of us sitting at the booth talking and lastly was a picture of us walking out of the bar.  “They probably think I’m some whore he fucked!” I groaned, “These are from the night we met.”

That photoset on Tumblr started our conversation topic for the rest of the night.  Brianna turned off the TV and dumped the candy onto mine and Alex’s bed before climbing on and interrogating me.  Her and Alex began questioning me about my relationship with Niall.  They asked how it went when we met, about our first date, meeting his mom, and if we had had sex yet.  Of course the answer to sex was no since we hadn’t had sex yet, or come close to it. 

“But you know what this means, right.” Alex said with a slight smirk on her face. “Nilanna is real!!” I started laughing cause back when we were 15 Alex and I would discuss how one day Nilanna and Zalex would be real.  And look at that! – Now one of them was real. After they finished analyzing my relationship and trip to Ireland they filled me in on France.  All the things they had seen, tasted, and experienced. 

“Well shit, it’s already 4:30 in the morning!” Brianna said by the time we had all grown sleepy and the conversation had lost most of the enthusiasm.  We plugged in our phones, tossed the bags and boxes of candy onto the nightstand and at the end of our beds, and then turned out the lights.  It wasn’t long after that Alex and I were snuggled up in our bed and the steady breathing of a sleeping Brianna was heard from the other bed. Alex and I talked for a little bit longer, but soon we both fell asleep.
