A Happily Never After (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Don't Go

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"

Last night, after I woke up from my nap, Clara and I went out to dinner. She was literally shaking from the events of earlier. She kept it pretty cool while we were at the boys' flat, but when I woke up she was sitting in the corner blasting Same Mistakes, her favorite song, crying. She was basically shaking the whole evening and she was up on Tumblr. stalking them half the night.

I woke up to her screaming in my ear. The room was dark.

"What time is it?" I groaned.

"It's 3:03am!! The exact time your were born!"

"Stalker," I mumbled, turning over in my bed.

"Lennon, you're eighteen!! It's time to freak out!" Finally, what she was saying processed in my mind. It was my birthday. I mean, I didn't forget about it, but with all the events going on lately, I lost track of the date.

"Wow, I'm old!" I groaned.

"I can finally be seen with you in public! I'm sure people were probably wondering why I was hanging out with such a youngin." Clara's birthday was in December and she always made fun of me for being so much younger than her.

"Very funny."

"What are we going to do?"

"Well right now, I'm gonna go back to sleep." I turned over and closed my eyes.

"Fine," Clara whined.

I woke up and immediately reached for my phone. I had a few birthday texts from family and friends but once I saw that I had one from Niall, I went to it immediately.

'Hey. Come over when you wake up. Clara can stay at the flat with the boys while we go out. You're all mine today ;)'

I took a shower and got changed. When I came out of the bathroom, Clara was just waking up.

"Hey. I'm going out with Niall. You're chilling at the boys flat today."

"Okay!" she jumped out of bed and skipped into the bathroom.

When she came out, she had on a cute dress with nude heels. "Why are you dressed so nice?"

"Just because," she shrugged.

We had a good amount of time before the next bus came, so we decided to run to Starbucks.

"Hey Sandy," I greeted her cheerfully as I entered the coffee house, the smell of freshly brewed coffee capturing my senses.

"Hey babe!" she smiled. "Who's this?"

"Sandy, this is Clara."

"Oh my god! This is Clara?" Sandy ran out from behind the counter and gave her a hug. "Lennon always talks about you! It's so great to meet you!"

Clara being the outgoing person she is immediately hugged her back and started shooting her with questions. Sandy eventually made us both drinks and turned back to me. "So how's your boyfriend?"

"Ya mean Niall?" Clara blurted in.

"Isn't that the name of that guy in One Direction?" Sandy asked.

"Oh, you haven't told her?" Clara asked me. Then she turned back to Sandy and whispered, "It is the guy from One Direction."

Sandy gasped," No way!?" I laughed and nodded. We talked for a little bit more, seeing as the Starbucks was surprisingly empty this morning, until I looked down at my watch.

"Shoot. The bus is gonna be here in a few minutes. We gotta run. You're off tomorrow, right Sandy? We're going out." Sandy nodded her head. Clara ran up to her and whispered something in her ear. She smiled widely and nodded her head before giving Clara another hug.
