A WEEK LATER:

Niall's POV:

"You can do it mate." Zayn patted my shoulder to calm me down. At this very moment we were waiting backstage at the Ellen show. Dani, Eleanor, and Isabell had flown to America with us and sat in the front row. Today would be the day I risk everything. On the show we will be performing. All of the boys agreed to help me dedicate this one to Isabell. Then it would be up to her. She would make or break my heart.

"Singing a love song to my cousin," Liam groaned. "You're lucky I love you."

Before I knew it we were walking on stage. The audience was full of young girls, but my attention was all on the one in between Dani and Eleanor. Isabell smiled at me in her sweet way. It reminded me of why I was doing it.

Finally the show came to a close. Usually I loved being on Ellen, but all I could think about was our performance. "Boys you have a song to send us home with don't you?" Ellen asked us.

"Of course Ellen, but this one is a little different." Harry took over.

"How so? I don't need to change do I?" She asked, a little bit surprised. The entire audience was whispering to each other.

"Niall has a little surprise for a friend of ours." He commented, causing everyone to turn towards me. "You'll see." Harry added after noticing my distress.

We took the microphones offered and right before the music started I took my chance. "This one's for you Isabell." I said, my eyes meeting hers. Isabell immediately started blushing. I chuckled as her hands flew up to her face. She had no idea how cute she looked blushing. "Last First Kiss", the song I picked specially for this began and soon I was lost in the music. Only this time I had someone to sing it to. Someone to focus. Something real to sing about.

"I wanna be last yeah,

Baby let me be your, let me be your last first kiss.

Wanna be the first yeah,

Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this.

And if you, only knew.

I wanna be last yeah.

Baby let me be your last, your last first kiss."

"Baby tell me what to change,

I'm afraid you'll run away if I tell you,

What I wanted to tell you."

I don't think I have ever sang so well before. It certainly never had so much meaning. "So Isabell? What do you say?" I asked when the song was over. My heart pounded. Honestly I thought I would have a heart attack.

There was no hesitation in her answer. She jumped out of her chair and practically flew into my arms. Her lips found mine and it was pure bliss. All of those sparks and fireworks everyone talks about, yeah those are real. I held her tightly as possible and lifted her up to make us eye-level. Everyone around us had disappeared. For the moment it was just me and Isabell and I didn't mind one bit.

Of course all perfect moments must come to an end. "All right you two." Ellen interrupted. "Keep it PG for the children!"  She joked with us before closing the show.

"Come on now. Don't go getting handsey with my little cousin." Liam slapped my back. I should've known he would give me crap. Isabell just wrapped her arms around me and squeezed me.
