Philophobia - A Niall Horan Fanfiction

Chapter Four

" Hey, I have a random question for you if you don't mind."  He slowly said to me.

"No, I don't mind at all. What's your question?" I was honestly scared bout what he was going to ask me. Mostly because he might ask why Abby and I were at the park at night with suitcases. Then I thought I just needed to toughen up. 

"Does Abby know about One Direction?" Niall asked me. To be completely honest I have no idea. But I was glad that it wasn't a question about our home life. Of course, I was going to tell him but right when we met? Uh no that's not on my radar. But definitely when I'm more comfortable.

"I have no idea. Let's ask her." Why am I scared? I shouldn't be scared right I mean it's not like her response is going to change anything, is it?

Hey Abby. Do your friends ever talk about a band called One Direction?" I turn to face Abby in the back seat to hear her response.

"Yeah, my friend Bella, her older sister is obsessed with them. I have listened to some of their music, it is really good, So, I guess you could say that I like them." Abby says but before I can respond Niall starts talking to her.

"What's your favorite One Direction song?" Niall asks while he has his phone in his hand. It is open to Spotify. I would have said something to him for looking at his phone while driving but then I realized I wasn't going to confront him. But also I remembered that we hadn't even left the parking lot.

"I like the one that Ari plays on her guitar. I don't remember the name but it talks about gold." Niall giggles a bit then he presses the song hooks it up to the jeep and starts singing along. As he pulls out of the hospital parking lot

"Yeah, I like this one," Abby says as she closes her eyes to listen to the music. After the first chorus, Niall leans over to me.

"Hey, so do you want to tell Abby that me and the boy are in One Direction or are we just normal teenage boys?" Niall asked me and to be completely honest I have no idea. I don't know if it is too overwhelming for her.

"I will tell her. Abby, what would you do if you met One Direction?" Abby put her pointer finger up to her chin and started to tap it.

"I would tell them how they made me so happy with their music and that they make you so happy inside like a sun shining. Ooooh or a piece of gold. And well obviously I would hug all of them." As Abby was saying this I looked at Niall. He had a huge smile across his face. He was trying to keep the giggles in because he didn't want to ruin the surprise.

"What would you say if you met one of them already?" I say to Abby

"I guess I'm not a good enough fan. Plus I haven't seen any pictures of them so I wouldn't know what they look like. Why do you ask?" She is so confused right now.

"Niall is part of One Direction," I said very slowly because I had no idea how she would react.

"Wait what? Nialler. He is a part of One Direction. Sorry. Mr. Niall." She was so scared, I think she thought Niall would hit her.

"It's okay, you can call me Nialler. Also, I was wearing my disguise. No one can recognize me, not even my bandmates." Niall said has he was pulling into the drive-thru of Shake Shake and that made Abby feel better. 

"Niall, how come you are wearing a disguise? Who are you hiding from? " Curious little Abby asked.

"Don't get me wrong I love my fans so much I wouldn't be where I am without them but, then every fan comes and asks me stuff paparazzi are following them. I just want you and Ari to be safe because they can be mean and say stuff to people that shouldn't be said. Do you understand? Or do you want me to explain it better? I'm known to not explain stuff very well.". Niall said. Wait, why would he want to, never mind.

"Welcome to Shake Shack what can I get for you today?" A young girl said over the speaker.

"Hi, can I get 3 chocolate shakes, one with extra whipped cream and sprinkles?" Niall said, as I was confused though because who wants the extra whipped cream and sprinkles? Wait did Niall want sprinkles? Thought as Niall pulled up to the first window.

"Hi, that will be $15.99."

"Here put it on this card. Can you also leave a 10-dollar tip?"

"Oh yeah of course." The window closes, and it takes a while for her to open her to open it again, as she opens the window she hands Niall his card back. A little piece of paper dropped out of his hand. Niall didn't see it. So me being curious and I picked it up.

 Dear Niall,

Just drop that slut and come hang out with me, call me when you are on your way back.

Love,

Your biggest fan

The tears on my face formed fast. I didn't think that would happen. I tried to hide it from everyone around me but that didn't work as well as I thought. Now he would know 

"It's okay you can just drop us back where we were and you can go hang out with her," I said as I wiped the tears so they weren't visible. 

"You are not fat and ugly and why would you think I would put you back at the park where you sat there homeless? You are the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen. She is a jerk to think that she can treat you like crap." Niall says to me as he rips the piece of paper and throws it out the window into a nearby garbage can.

"Here are your 3 small chocolate cones is there anything else you need?" She said as she gave Niall the ice cream.

"Uh yes, can I please speak to your manager?" Niall said with anger on his face.

"Of course let me bring her right out." The girl said as she walked to get her manager.

"What are you going, Niall?" I asked him.

"Even though she didn't say it to your face there is no reason for her to act that way," Niall said then his phone started to ring. He picked his phone up and accepted the call then he put it on speaker.

"Nialler mate where the fuck are you mate." One of the boys said.

"Hey, Language there is a kid in the car. I'm going to be home in like an hour. Okay. We will talk then." He said as he hung up and started to play Fool's Gold again as he stepped out of the car to talk to the manager.

"Why is Nialler mad Ari? Did I do something wrong? Is he going to hurt me?" Abby asked me as Niall was walking back to his car. Instead of opening the driver's door he opened the back seat and sat next to Abby.

"I'm so mad right now. She just can't get away with it." Niall said as he sighed. I could see Abby tense up when Niall said that he was mad.

"Please don't hurt me," Abby said in a whisper. I could barely hear her. Then I saw Niall's face softened.
