Only Exception // Niall Horan Fanfiction

Prologue

When I was younger I saw my Daddy cry and cursed at the wind. He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it. And my Momma swore that she will never let herself forget.

I don't know, I have no idea how to explain myself at all. Well I guess I can set a few facts about me for you all. Well you know, my parents, yeah, they're divorced. I don't know why, everything is blurred to me. All I remember is the crashing of vulnerable furnitures, screams and tears. And with that, I was left with my Dad. I still love my Mom though but I lose hope seeing her again. We lose contact. I don't want to know if she love or cares me back at all. I just don't want to talk about everything about that. That is all I can say about my family background and nothing deeper.

And that day I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.

Because of the experience, I don't believe in love. It's just all an illusion. Observe, people fall in love and they will not last long, they're going to split up. It's just a cycle. I don't believe to the thing called 'marriage' and forever. There's no stuff like that. It's just a word and a piece of paper. Even they got together for a long period of time, they'll end up like what happened to my parents.

But darling you are the only exception.

The only thing I believe where love really exists or something like that is music. It'll not break you apart. You'll just go along with the lyrics and the tune. It's addicting. I even dreamed to be a part of the Music Industry but I think it's all seem impossible and I know everyone will just laugh at me if anyone will know that reasoning I keep that ambition as a secret. I worked hard for it but I think it's all too far away. I decided just to do some little stuffs that are related to that such as working as a singer in a bar or restaurant, being a guitarist, being a part of a local amateur band. I don't compete contests because that would make my secret ambition known. Because of that dream, I got a job being a guitarist of a big company that is everyone know, Syco Music.

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts. And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face.

And I've always lived like this keeping a comfortable distance. And up until now I have sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness. Because no one of it was ever worth the risk.

Then there's this man, touched colour of sun hair, red cheeks, weird laugh, down to earth guy and nice. He was my sort of co-worker. Well not actually maybe, I don't know. He's a part of a boyband called, 'One Direction' where every teenage girl or boy love. I'm not a quite fan of them though. I'm more to the ballad, blues and rock music genre but not pop. I'm their guitarist, well I only play guitar for them when during recording a song in a studio and aside of that, a friend maybe. I don't work too much with them because there are assigned musicians to play for them. I don't know how he entered in my world and try to pull me to his. He's irritating but he has this feeling that you'll crave for him—in some type of friendly way.

He's a sun, I'm a moon. He's rainbow, I'm black. He's everything, I'm nothing. He's an adventurer, I'm scared.

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't let go of what's infront of me here. I know you're leaving in the morning you wake up leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

With that, I tried to face my fears and took the risk. And with there—

Wait, hang on, I'm not going to spoil and say the summary the story right? That's too much for an introduction, I was carried away! Well maybe I'll kept you all hang there, yup, that's not all what you all read all looks like, maybe. You want to know what really happened? Find it for yourself.

I'm on my way to believing.
