Hannah and I carefully take a look at the screen of her phone. We see that it is, indeed, a dm from Niall.
Niall: hi Hannah :) what's your question?
The world just seemed to stop. I couldn't breathe. Niall Horan, the Niall Horan, from One Direction just sent a direct message to me. Well, not me.. but it's basically me.
Hannah: I was wondering if my cousin could come with me and also meet you guys..? Pleeeeaaassee?
I look at my cousin. "Do you honestly think this will work? They said only the winner could meet them. They didn't have a 'plus one' option available, as far as I can tell."
"Just shh. Think positively, and good things will happen. Plus, why would he say no? It's only one extra person." She got a notification from twitter as she finished her sentence.
Niall: ahh I'm not so sure 'bout that.. we had only planned for one person to be able to see us
Hannah: Can you ask if it would be okay? My cousin is just such a huge fan of you guys.. It would break her heart
"Hannah honestly, it wouldn't bother me if I didn't get to see them. You're the one who won. You should be celebrating instead of trying to find a way for me to go with you."
I do feel kind of bad for stealing the spotlight from her. This was her win, not mine.
"Nonsense. I would love to share this experience with you. Besides, I've already asked. The worst he can do is say no." She smiles at me. Her phone once again dings.
Niall: good news! I asked and management said we could have another person, as long as there is only one.
Hannah: Yay! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Niall: ahaha no problem. so when are we going to meet? and where?
Hannah: Oh yeah, we're supposed to be planning that.. Well, we live in Georgia. Maybe you could meet us here?
Niall: sounds like a plan! now we just need a day..
Hannah: Okay, we're on summer break from school right now. So just any day will be fine with us
My mom came over just as we sent the last message.
"Shell we're leaving. Say goodbye to Hannah and meet me at the car."
She walked off, looking for my brother.
I really don't want to go. I want to see what Niall will say. I want to know what day I'm going to be meeting the five loves of my life.
"Okay, well I guess I'm leaving. Text me when he replies. Love you," I say as I kiss her cheek.
_______________________Hannah texted me a little after 11 p.m.
Hannah: Okay. So. Niall and the boys are meeting us in a week. Ahhh!!! He said they will need somewhere to stay while they're here, and since your house is so big... I kinda told him that you wouldn't mind if they stayed with you..
Oh my god. Shit. One Direction will be in my house. Niall Horan will see the place where I live. Oh no. I need to clean. I need to make this place spotless. It has to be perfect.
Me: OH MY 'LANTA. Yes! Yes! A million times yes! Of course I'm okay with them staying here!!! Obviously you can stay here as well. This is all because of you, after all.
Hannah: We'll need to double up on rooms. Me and Harry can share :)
Harry had always been Hannah's favorite. It's not surprising that she would volunteer to share a room with him.
Me: hahah, of course! But I get Niall
I, on the other hand, am in love with Niall. I love them all, but Niall would have to be my favorite. There is nothing not to love about him. He is the definition of perfection. I just can't wait to meet him.
