I walk into the pub and smile.. 

I missed England so much.. It's so nice to be back..


I sit at the bar, ordering myself a beer, then as I sip it I hear an announcer say that a singer is gonna come up and play a couple of his own songs. I don't really pay any attention as I have a conversation with the bartender.. then I hear that voice..

The voice I haven't heard in a year..


Niall Horan.


"'Ello.. Uh, The first song I'm gonna be singing is one of my originals, it's called Still.. and it's about someone I'll never be able to forget.. even though it's been so long since I've seen her"

He clears his throat, backing away from the mic a little bit, then he strums the guitar and starts to sing.. 

"My mind is complicated..
Find it hard to rearrange it..
But I'll have to find a way somehow..
Overreacting lately. Find it hard to say I'm sorry..
But I'll make it up to you somehow.

And I just don't know why.. The stars won't shine tonight..

Tell me you want it.
A thousand miles away from the day that we started..
But I'm standing here with you, just tryna be honest."

--As he continued, I got off the bar stool and walked towards the stage. There was a small crowd around it, all swaying to the beautiful song, and I somehow managed to excuse my way to the front.. I could hear him so much better.. His voice was so different from the last time I heard it. He looks so different aswell.. No longer with dyed blonde hair, but it's now his natural brown. He's got a bit of stubble on his cheeks, and he's obviously taller with broader shoulders.. His eyes are shut at the moment.. Do I even want him to see me? --

"If honesty means telling you the truth..
Well, I'm still in love with you

Did I miscalculate this?
Let's just go back to the basics.
Forget about what's come and gone.
'Cause I hate to see us like this..
Breaking up on nights just like this.
We should be shooting from the stars of gold

So tell me you want it..
A thousand miles away from the day that we started
But I'm standing here with you just trying to be honest!
If honesty.. means telling you the truth..

Well, I'm still in love with you"

--His eyes open and he looks across the crowd. I feel tears in my eyes but I don't let them fall.. Suddenly he looks at me and he stops playing the guitar and stops singing completely. His eyes are wide and his mouth is left open. I motion for him to keep going, to keep singing, and he suddenly realizes he stops and clears his throat then picks up where he left off, but he never takes his eyes off of me..--
