Life can be unpredictable. This was the case for Shayla & Heather. They were living a life with two of this centuries, most well loved artists.

"I can't believe this is my first show. How has this happened?!" Heather exclaimed. She was sat in her dressing room in front of the large mirror, behind her were two couches and a table full of snacks and drinks.
"Because you are incredible and people want to see you. You're killing it!"
Niall watched as Heather checked her appearance. He had a dopey smile on his face watching his fiancé. Even when she was doing everyday, mundane things she looked incredible.
"Stop staring you weirdo." Heather looked back at him through the mirror, sticking her tongue out at him.
"Just appreciating the art. Can't wait to marry you." Niall felt like the luckiest guy in the world. He was brought back from his thoughts to his phone buzzing.
Shay: We're here! See you in a few :) x
"Shay and H are here!"
————————————————— "Gorgeous we can't. We're here for Heather not to do... that!" Shayla giggled as Harry left kisses on her neck. Holding the strap of her camera away so he had room to do so.
He lifted his head and pouted. Hoping it would persuade Shay.
"Nope. Not gonna work this time. It's Heather's night... but if you're good we'll see." Shayla winked and grabbed his hand to pull him out of the room.
"You're such a flirt Shayla Louise." He mumbled in frustration.
"If it's any consolation, you make it incredibly difficult to say no." Harry would remember that.
Just as Shayla opened the door, Niall opened Heather's dressing room door that was opposite.
They were staring at each other for a few moments before Niall smirked.
"You can't behave yourselves for 5 minutes can you."
"In my defence, Shay wouldn't let us do anything!" Harry held his hands up in surrender. Shayla slapped his chest and he winced.
"Animals!" Niall tutted and ushered them into the room.

The venue wasn't particularly huge but it was still buzzing. Heather wanted her first show to be intimate. And that it was.
The crowd were chatting away as the crew were setting up and getting the stage ready. Music played through the speakers, the atmosphere was so chilled compared to big arena shows.
Shay, Niall & Harry were at the bar getting some drinks.
"I can't believe this is happening. She's wanted this for so long and now it's reality!" Shay called out over the music.
Harry had his hand on her shoulder, reaching over with his free hand to grab his drink. He'd noticed that there was a group of people looking over at them. More than likely fans. He smiled and waved at them.
"We've been spotted Ni." Harry chuckled. Niall turned his attention to where Harry was looking. He waved at the group and smiled also.
The group all erupted into excited laughter. Shayla watched the whole interaction and couldn't help but smile.
"I'm gonna go over to them. Is that okay?" she asked the boys. She didn't want to make them uncomfortable but she knows what it's like to meet your idols. It would make their life if they could talk to the boys.
"Of course. Bring them over to say hi." Niall chimed. His back was to both Harry and Shayla, paying for the drinks. Harry just nodded and smiled.
Shayla moved her body to walk over to the group before Harry grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"Do you not want me to? I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable." Shay questioned.
Harry shook his head before he started to speak.
"No it's not that. Just... I've been thinking about it and seeing Niall and Heather getting engaged and all... I want people to know we're together so... if you want to, introduce yourself as my girlfriend, yeah?"
He had a slight smirk on his face but Shayla could see the nervousness behind it. This was a huge deal. For Harry to want people to know about the two of them. Especially because of the repercussions this could have for the both of them. Shayla tried not to focus on that though.
She smiled, wriggled her wrist free from his grip and placed her hands on either side of his face. She moved so that she was on her tiptoes and hovered her lips over his.
"I think this'll say it better." She closed the space between them and moulded her lips with his. Only briefly but enough for the group of fans to see. She could faintly hear the commotion behind her as the group watched.
"Animals." Niall mumbled from behind them.

"Please give her the biggest and warmest welcome... HEATHER MCINTYRE!" Heather's manager shouted into the mic. The lights dimmed before Heather and her band waked onto the stage and the lights turned to a shade of blue. The crowd were cheering and clapping. Heather had gained quite the fanbase since the album release.
Niall, Harry and Shayla were possibly the loudest in the crowd though. And rightly so. Heather could hear them over everyone else and it made her laugh.
"Hi everyone. First of all I'd like to apologise for my friends and..." she paused, looking over at Niall. She could see the biggest smile on his face and a proud look in his eye.
"My fiancé." she finished the sentence.
This was the confirmation of their engagement.
She hadn't asked Niall if they should announce it officially like this, but by the look on his face she knew it was okay.
Shayla watched on and grabbed her camera to capture the moment.
