Summer Love (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 7

MADDIE'S POV

I was finally heading to London! Mina wasn't allowed to come, thank God. I mean I loved her to death, but after the party incident, I was just worried about her constantly. It was a Thursday and the concert was on Saturday, and until then Niall would just be having rehearsals. I could come watch, if I wanted, he said.

The day was almost perfect. The weather was a cool 70 degrees and I wore white shorts to show off my tan legs, along with a cropped tank with lace on the back. We got to the hotel around one, and everyone was there helping the boys get ready for rehearsals, and random friends were there too, maybe about twenty people in the room that took up the whole top floor of the hotel, it was like a little party.

"I'm here!" Niall announced as soon as we walked in. Everyone came to hug him as he had been gone for a few weeks back in Ireland.

"How are you mate? I was just--" Harry started but then cut himself off as soon as he saw me. "So this is her..." he smirked as he looked me up and down, I felt myself blush.

"Hi, I'm Maddie," I told him as I held out my hand. He pulled my hand to his lips and Niall put his arm around my waist protectively.

"Nice to finally meet you," Harry said. Niall introduced me to the whole room, and I waved awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable with everyone's eyes on me. I leaned up against the wall, watching Niall get his hair done and talking to the stylist, Lisa. The radio was playing in the background and I Love It came on, which was my favorite song of the moment.

Everyone got up and started dancing. Lisa rolled her eyes, as she was right in the middle of doing Niall's hair. Harry took a vine of me and Niall dancing, and at the end of the video Niall kissed me on the lips and everyone cheered.

I felt my cheeks heat up. We continued dancing to the next song until the stylist told Niall to sit his ass back down so she could finish. I made my way to the bathroom and fixed my hair from all the crazy dancing. Then I decided to check my phone, I had totally forgot about twitter since starting this vacation. I was scrolling through my timeline and everyone was really pissed... Tweeting about some whore that was with Niall?

What the hell did I miss?? I tweeted. Then it hit me. The bitch who was with Niall? That was me. Everyone saw that vine. It took a while for it all to sink in. Everyone knew who I was now.

Someone replied to my tweet.

Did you see Harry's vine?? Did you see that bitch Niall kissed? Like who does she think she is??

Fuck. I was afraid of how everyone would probably turn on me if they knew I was spending time with Niall. As I read through more, everyone was talking shit about me, saying my outfit, my hair, even my face was ugly. The examined every piece of me. The said I danced stupid. They called me flat chested. They said I had a weird nose. They hated me, and all they had seen of me was a few seconds. They didn't even know my name.

I took a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself. I told myself to forget, that they didn't know anything. They didn't know me, how could the judge me? Yet it reminded me so much of what life was back at home, the bullying--everything. I thought this vacation would be a nice escape. I guessed wrong.

I came out of the bathroom, obviously upset.

"Are you alright?" Niall came up to me.

"No," I admitted, looking down.

"Let's talk, come with me."

He took my hand and led me up to the roof. The view was amazing. I felt like I was on top of the world. And I really was, twenty stories in the sky, and I was with Niall, how could I be happier? But I wasn't, I was still upset about everyone on twitter.

"What happened?" he asked, looking worried. "You looked so happy when we got here."

I sighed, "Well i don't know..it's stupid.."

"No, come on, tell me," he urged.

I let out a long breathe. "Okay. Well I was checking my twitter... And everyone was talking about me, because I was in that vine with you," I explained. "they were calling my ugly and stupid, picking out every part of me. I feel horrible."

Niall just shook his head, "I was stupid to let Harry have posted that.". He stood up, suddenly angry. "This always happens! I just want to hang out with a friend without everyone freaking out. I'm so sorry Maddie, you don't deserve this."

"It's okay," I felt a bit better telling him, but was still upset, because I knew everyone would remember my face. "Everyone hates me Niall, I didn't even do anything."

"It doesn't even matter," he took my hands. "All that matters is us. That I like you. That you make me happy. I could care less what my fans think. I care about you Maddie. I want to be able to dance with you without everyone freaking out, but that's just not how it is. I wish it was easy like that, but it's not. But I won't let it get to me if you don't let it get to you. You're beautiful Maddie, you're perfect for me. Isn't that all that matters?"

"Is that really what you think?" I smiled down at my feet, embarrassed and flattered. I felt him get closer and I lifted my head up.

"Really." he said. He hesitated for a second or two before he leaned his head toward me. My heart was racing. Was he going to kiss me, for real this time? But before I could worry about it, his lips met mine. He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him as we kissed, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. Electricity shot to the tips of my fingers as I ran them through his hair.

Niall's phone went off, he ignored it, but it kept ringing.

He groaned, "sorry babe."

He checked his texts.

"I have to go to rehearsals, we can finish this later?" he said with a smirk. I just smiled.

We made our way back to the room

"Niall what did you do to your hair?!?" Lisa sighed. Niall just looked at me and winked.
