Sink [Niall Horan]

PROLOUGE

Delilah's POV

I watched carefully as he knelt down on one knee and reached a hand into his pocket.

I gasped.

He looked up and spoke.

"Lacy, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. i love you with all my heart. So, will you please do me the honor, and except my hand in marriage?"

"Awwww!" I squealed and gripped Niall's hand tighter as we stood in a crowd around the happy couple.

"They've been dating for five years, its about time he steps up and asks for her damn hand." Niall leaned over and whispered in my ear.

I quickly put my hand over my mouth to keep from letting out a laugh.

I looked over at Niall and he had a smirk on his face.

His arm wrapped around my waist and he pulled me in closer to him.

I heard Lacy respond with a "yes" to Louis' question, and sure I was very happy for them, but right now all that matter was him. My boyfriend of 3 1/2 years. Niall.

I leaned in and gave him a soft peck on the lips and pulled back.

He made me so happy. And I'm very lucky to have him.

Everyone in the crowd cheered and clapped as the newly engaged couple hugged and kissed.

They both pulled back and Louis slid the sparkling diamond ring onto Lacy's finger.

The crowd cheered louder and I looked around at the other people in the restaurant we were in. Everyone was taking pictures or recording, but it wouldn't be long until the paps would arrive and start taking photos too.

Once the clapping died down and people went back to their seats, Niall and I intertwined our fingers and walked up to Louis and Lacy.

"Congratulations!" I cheered, with a huge smile on my face.

I let go of Niall and hugged Lacy tight. She had happy tears in her eyes, but nervousness scribbled on her face.

Ever since the first time I met Louis "new girlfriend" (at the time), Lacy, we instantly became best friends. She was sweet and kind and caring yet funny and outgoing. I could tell she was very fragile though.

"OH MY GOSH! Delilah, you have to be my maid of honor!" She squealed, pulling out of our hug.

"Well...I don't know, shouldn't your sister be the maid of honor?" I asked worriedly.

"I think it should be up to the bride. And I choose you. Please please please do it!" She asked excitedly.

I looked to Niall and Louis anxiously for some help. Neither of them said a peep.

I looked back at Lacy and smiled. "Sure, why not!" This earned another squeal and hug.

We pulled out of our hug again and I gave a quick hug to Louis congratulating him again.

"Hey," Louis said all of a sudden, "since Delilah is being your maid of honor, I want Niall to be my best man?!"

Niall looked shocked and after some begging from the three of us, he agreed.

We all cheered and I kissed him on the cheek.

"Well, Ni and I should probably get home and let you guys be. Plus the paps will find out about this soon and I'd like to get out of here safely." I spoke up after the small talk died down.

"That's a good idea. Maybe we should go too, Lou." Lacy said.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want my baby to get hurt like last time." Louis frowned.

Lacy kissed his frowning lips and smiled. "It's alright. It was awhile ago."

Louis and Niall nodded.

"Well better be going." I spoke up. "Congratulations guys. Hey, why don't we go out for lunch later this week! My sister told me about this really nice little restaurant she tried last week."

"That sounds nice!" Louis cheered.

"Wonderful! I'll text you both later in the week to find a time when we can get together."

"Bye guys! Get home safe." Niall smiled as he waved. He grabbed my hand and I grabbed my purse, slinging it over my shoulder as he dragged me to the door. He stopped in front of the door and looked out the window nervously.

"What's the rush?" I asked, but realizing a second after why he was so worried.

"The paparazzi and the fans are all crowded out there and we don't have security." He said nervously, grabbing tighter onto my hand. I took my thumb and slowly rubbed small circles onto his skin hoping to calm him down a little.

"Babe we'll be fine."

"No we won't. You got hurt last time, remember?" He snapped at me. I jumped back letting go of him. I was frightened by his sudden anger.

He sighed as I took another step away from him.

"God, I'm sorry babe. I didn't mean to scare you. I just don't want you hurt again. I hate when people hurt you. I'll call Paul to come help us." I nodded and gave him a warm hug.

I know he cares about me a lot. But I don't know why. And I don't know how we ended up dating either. He's a big popstar and I'm just...me. I don't deserve him. But I have him. And I'm lucky.

A few minutes after Niall called Paul he made it threw the crowd to the door and opened it. He got a few other security guards to help us out too. I grabbed Niall's hand before the body guards formed a circle around us and we stepped out the door. About every 30 seconds he would yell over the screaming fans "Are you okay, babe?" Each time I would fake a smile and nod. He moved to behind me and wrapped his arms around me to protect me too. A couple fans 'awww'ed while others shouted insults calling me a slut or whore and saying that I didn't deserve him. I tried to brush them off. I was used to it by now...right?

After about 5 minutes of craziness we got into Niall's car.

I rolled down the window.

I screamed a quick "thank you" to the guards and they nodded their heads as a "your welcome".

I also reminded them that Lacy and Louis were still inside and would still need security.

I rolled up the window and looked over to Niall as he finished getting settled in the drivers seat.

"I'm so sorry, Del." he frowned at me.

Trying to act like I didn't really care about what happened, I sighed and nodded towards him, plastering a smile on my face.

"Let's just go home. I'm really tired." I said looking at the clock and yawning as it was 11 and I had a long, rough day.

He nodded sadly and started the car before we headed back towards our shared flat.
