I was 15 and he was 22.
Niall Horan, was my best friends, cousin, and it was an instant attraction. Well for me at least, "Niall! How are you?!" My best friend asked her cousin while giving him a hug
"I'm good! Its so nice to see you, its been so long." He said
She remembered that I was standing behind her and spoke, "You remember my friend (YN) right?!" She asked
"(YN), of course," he said bringing me into a hug, "seems like the last time I saw you, you were 10?!" He said
"Yeah, it sure has been a long time!" I couldn't help but smile
"Well, you look beautiful!" He replied before walking to the kitchen to greet the rest of the family
When those words came out of his mouth, my heart melted and I couldn't help the butterfly's flying all around my stomach
"What?" (YBN) asked with a questioning smirk
I quickly went straight faced, "wh-what? Nothing, nothing at all!"
"Right...cmon let's go to my room."

I quickly learned the Niall would be here in Mullingar for about a month. Which was great news, the more time he was here, the more time I would be able to spend with him.
(YBN) and I had a project to finish so I had to go to her house and work on it.
As I knocked a second time, the door swung open, and I was met with a gorgeous pair of mesmerizing blue eyes, "(YN), what's up?" He asked
"Well (YBN) and I have a project to do so, I came to work on it."
"Oh come on in, (YBN) is at the store she'll be right back, make yourself at home." He welcomed me
"Thanks ..." I said as I sat down on the couch. Niall was watching football (soccer), "Are you kidding me! It was an open shot!!" I stood up, forgetting Niall was there
"You like football?" He asked amused at my sudden outburst
I felt a blush creep on my face as I sat back down, " like is an understatement, I love football, I'm on the school team!" I replied
"That's great! What position?" He asked, showing interest
"Center-mid!" I replied
"Nice. Is (YBN) on the team too?"
"No, she's not into football , haha."
"Yea, sports aren't her thing are they?" He laughed
I could feel my cheeks burning up, his laugh was the cutest thing I've ever heard.

Before either of us could say another word the door burst open, "Oh hey (YN), sorry I'm late... Lets go to my room." (YBN) said, as I followed her I waved Niall goodbye as he did the same

It had been 2 weeks and I've gotten no where with Niall. But honestly cmon, what was i expecting. Today i was having dinner at (YBN) house, well actually the whole Horan family was, i was just some other guest.
Horans had this tradition to play songs after dinner, so thats exactly what we did, we gathered around bonfire out back and everyone was singing along with Niall.
"How many nights does it take to count the stars..." (Infinity by One Direction)
His voice was angelic, smooth, soft, and just plain perfect!
Too bad it had to end so soon because my mom had come to pick me up.
Another week went by, and (YBN), asked if I wanted to meet the rest of the band and of course I said yes!
When i arrived to (YBN) house, a blonde opened the door, "hello? May i help you?"
"Um im here to see (YBN).." Who was this chick?
She opened the door a bit more to let me in, as i walked in i saw (YBN) talking to Harry and Niall talking to Louis and the blonde.
I walked over to Harry and (YBN) introduced me...He was really cheeky, and i loved it but something always drew my attention back to Niall.
The blonde was a bit to close for my liking, but i couldn't do anything about it! She was tall, skinny, very pretty, perfect for Niall, but I hoped he wouldn't want perfect, I hoped he wanted me!
"(YN)!" Harry waved in my face
"Wh-What?!" I asked bringing my attention back onto him
"Haha, you were starring..." Harry said
My cheeks turned as red as tomato, "No I wasn't!" I protested
"Yes you were! You have a crush on Niall!" Harry exclaimed
"Its not a crush!" I corrected
"Oh come on (YN) admit it, you have a crush on Niall!" (yBN) cut in
"Its not a crush!" I exclaimed, for my dismay, loud enough to catch everyone's attention
"Who has a crush?" Niall asked
I turned to Harry and hoped that he could read my mind and shut up..."(YN)!" He spoke
"On who?" Niall said walking up to us
"On you..." (YBN) said
I looked at the floor, too ashamed to look at Niall.
"(YN), is that true?" Niall asked, bringing my eyes to meet his
"Its not a crush!" I said once again
"Then what is it?" He asked, everyone was looking at us as if we were some actors in a movie
"I like you!" I said, just above whisper
"How can you like me? I'm 7 years older than you, plus you barely even know me!" Niall said
"You're right Niall I don't know you, I don't know that you get homesick every time you go on tour, I don't know that you wear the Irish flag as proud as can be, I don't know that you love Theo, and that you can't wait to go outside and play football with him, I don't know that you love what your doing and that you wish you could thank every single fan personally for everything they've done. I don't know you...but I like you!" I couldn't keep it in anymore...
Niall stood there speechless, as well as everyone else
I had to leave...
As I was walking out the door I heard footsteps behind me,
"(YNl wait!"
"It might seem like a big age difference now, but in a couple of years the difference will seem smaller. Don't give up!" Harry said
.

And here I am, waiting for that difference to seem smaller, and smaller...

OK not my best...but the idea was there so I said "why not!"
