You Could Start A Cult (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 3

Hannah's POV

Niall turned around and looked at me and Jade with a smile on his face, my brain couldn't even comprehend what was happening but I knew I had to try keep it together. "Hey, I'm Niall." He said to me and Jade and put his arms out to hug me. I leaned into his hug and his arms wrapped around me, I felt so comforted in his arms and I probably had the goofiest smile on my face.

"Hey, I'm Hannah."  I said as we pulled out of a hug.

"Pretty name for a pretty woman." Niall responded and all I could do was smile at the ground as I felt myself start blushing. I looked over at Jade as Niall was going over to hug her and she looked like she had been frozen in time, which made me laugh out loud. Niall hugged her and Jade tried to introduce herself but stuttered many times. We all sat down on the sofa in the room and we were just chatting to Niall about our lives and about his tour. It was so much fun, he's genuinely the sweetest person I've ever met. 

Niall's POV 

Two of my fans who won the competition walked over to me and I introduced myself, Hannah was so pretty that I couldn't help but compliment her, she had the most beautiful smile. Her long golden hair flowed perfectly over her face and her outfit was also adorable. She blushed when I complimented her which I found very amusing of course. I spoke to them for a while and it was interesting being able to sit down and have a conversation with my fans about their lives. I eventually got up and gave them two bags which had a few merch items like my hoodies, a candle and a signed poster. 

"Thank you so much for doing this Niall, it really means the world to us" Hannah said smiling at me. Knowing I was able to make their day just by chatting to them made me so happy.

"No thank you, without you guys I wouldn't be where I am. I honestly appreciate the support so much." I said back to them. I gave them both a hug and then it was time for them to leave. I was quite sad that Hannah was leaving, I knew I probably would never see her again. 

Hannah's POV

We both hugged Niall again and said our goodbyes to him, it was sad leaving but it was also the best experience of my life and one I would never forget. As we walked out of the room Jade stopped me.

"I need to go to the toilet, like right now!" Jade said looking extremely pale.

"Are you gonna throw up?" I asked concerned.

"Uh I think so, I was so nervous that whole time, I've been trying to hold it in." I laughed at her as we followed the toilet signs. I waited outside in the hallway just scrolling through my phone when I heard a familiar voice call out to me.

"Hannah?" I looked over to the voice and Niall was stood there looking over at me. I felt the nerves rush up and my voice became shaky.

"Niall, sorry I'm just waiting for Jade." I said pointing to the toilets. He walked over to me so he was now right next to me. I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes, I could seriously get lost in them. 

"That's okay, since you're here, may I ask for your Instagram?" Niall asked me and that left me very confused but of course I gave it to him.

"I would have given you my number instead but I have to be careful, I don't want it getting leaked." 

"Oh it's okay I totally get it." I responded. Niall hugged me one more time before walking away and out of sight. I was frozen in place, all of a sudden I got a notification on my phone saying Niall Horan had just followed me on Instagram... What had my life just become? Jade finally exited the toilet having no idea what happened. 

She looked at me with a very confused expression on her face. "Hannah, you okay? You look like you've just seen a ghost." 

"Niall...just come up to me and asked for my Instagram and he followed me" I said in barely a whisper as I was still trying to comprehend what had happened but as I told Jade she let out a loud gasp.

"YOU LUCKY BITCH! I was in the bathroom being sick and you were out here talking to Niall and exchanging Instagram's!" She said trying to act like she was mad at me even though I knew she was just as excited as me. We finally left the venue and we got back to our hotel rooms, we started packing up our suitcases as our flight back home was 6am the next morning. It was very late by the time we both finished so we ended up getting straight into bed and crashing as soon as our heads hit the pillow.

It was the next morning and we were rushing to the airport to catch our flight home, it was stressful as Jade took too long to get ready and we were now late. We made it just in time to board and I slept through pretty much the whole flight, I was exhausted. After a short flight I had finally made it back home to my apartment, I heard a notification go off on my phone so I turned it on and looked at what the notification was and my heart instantly felt like it had dropped into my stomach. Niall had sent me a message on Instagram. My hand shaking I opened up the message and read it.

Niall: Hey, I wanted to make sure your flight was okay and that you're back home safe.

I was so glad he couldn't see me because I had the stupidest grin on my face and I looked like I was having a seizure due to how excited and amazed I was over getting a message from Niall Horan. I waited a few minutes to respond because I didn't want to seem too keen...

Hannah: Hey Niall, thanks for checking in and yes the flight was good I am back home now! :)

I sent the message but I was overthinking everything, was the smiley face a bit too much? Was it weird? Did the exclamation mark make me sound too excited? I knew it was fine but I couldn't help but overthink the whole thing, until I got a response from Niall.

Niall: That's good! It was really nice meeting you and Jade. You seem like very nice and chill people. Well you more than Jade haha :)

I couldn't help but laugh at his comment about Jade but Niall complimenting me was just too much to handle, also the fact that he returned the smiley face turned me into a giggling fool.

Hannah: Haha yeah, Jade isn't as good at hiding how nervous she is like I am!

Niall: Aww do I make you nervous? ;)

I read the message like 100 times over and over, Niall was flirting with me! I didn't even know how to respond because I was terrified of making a fool of myself. It took me about 10 minutes to finally message back.

Hannah: If I said no I'd be lying, but don't let it get to your head Horan! :)

Niall: Too late love ;)

I rolled my eyes and laughed at his response, how could this man be any cuter, he's literally the definition of perfect and I started freaking out when I realized he called me love. My heart was now racing and I felt my cheeks turn a light shade of red. 

Hannah: Can I ask...what made you ask for my Instagram?

I was anxious waiting for his response, there was no way Niall would like me. I mean he is sexy and famous, he could get any girl he wanted.

Niall: You seemed like a very caring and nice person and I also noticed how beautiful you are. I guess I just wanted to get to know you more.

As soon as I read this message I instantly started choking on the air, Niall just called me beautiful! My life was starting to feel like real life fanfiction, I was just a woman with a normal life and one competition changed everything, now I am living a dream...

Hannah: Wow thank you, that's very sweet of you to say. :)

Niall: Just being honest :)

We continued talking for a few more hours until it was time I had to go back to work, I said goodbye to Niall but we had arranged to face time after I finished work which I was very excited but also very nervous about. Little did I know my life would only get crazier from here on...
