In this Moment

Chapter Twenty-Three

****Rachel's POV*****

Today was it, I couldn't bare it anymore. I had kind of made my decision earlier but I hoped that something would change before this time. But it didn't, it just kept happening, over and over again.

It was Friday and the boys would be leaving for the tour on Monday. The best time for me to leave would be today, Niall would be so busy with the tour that it wouldn't matter that I Ieft. Besides there are so many other girls that are would be for him than me, and he deserves better. I couldn't torture him with half hearted love anymore, I couldn't take the torturous nightmares. It was for the best.

Niall had already woken up and gone to the studio for rehearsals. He told me he would be gone for four hours and then he wanted me to meet him somewhere after. I had no idea where the place was but he gave me the address and I just hoped I won't get lost. I figured that would be the time to tell him.

I started to pack my bags with everything I could fit, and when I was done I had about two suitcases and a few small bags. I set everything near the door, and then grabbed my phone to make a call. I searched through my contacts til I found the one I was looking for.

"Ring.....rin-Hello!" A cheery voice said in the other line, "Florida University Volleyball program. Coach  Lipp speaking."

I took a swallow and them spoke into the phone, "Yes, hello Coach, it's Rachel, Johnson."

"Oh hello Rachel. So have you made a decision on my offer yet?" He asked, again cheerfully.

"I have. I'll take it."

****Niall's POV*****

We had just finished rehearsals and we had sat around Simon's office going over the songs for our tour and the schedule.

"Well that's all I need from you boys today." Simon said as we finished. "You are free to go. Oh and Niall can I talk to you for a minute?"

I followed him into the recording studio and waited for him to speak. "So I hear your gonna pop the question." He stated more than asked.

"Yeah. Who told you?"

"Four little birds. Anyway, is it that girl Rachel you met at the New Years party?" He asked sitting down.

"Yeah." I answered, wondering what it was all about. If he was going to say management wouldn't like this then I would walk right out of here. I knew that management probably won't approve but I didn't care, they would just have to deal with it.

"I really am happy for you Niall." he said with a small smile walking over to me and patting me on the back, "Good luck."

"Thanks Uncle Si." I said while hugging him then grabbing my guitar and walking out of the studio. I walked to the car where the others were already waiting for me, and opened the door,  "Thanks guys for telling Simon without letting me know." I said sarcastically as I got in the car.

"You're welcome." Harry said cheekily, as Liam started to drive.

We drove to the abandoned park that I told Rachel to meet me at, she would be here in about an hour so we didn't have that much time to prepare. We all got out the car and headed to a small shack that we had put the decorations.

This was going to be the best night ever.

*****Rachel's POV*****

I just got out of the shower and I put some yoga pants and a sweat jacket on, I stuffed my phone and the necklace in the pocket and slipped on my Toms and walked downstairs. I checked the time and it was about twenty minutes until seven. Niall wanted to meet him at seven, and my flight left at nine so I decided to leave now.
