The Way It Was (A Niall Horan FanFic)

Chapter Three

LAYLA'S POV

"Oh my god! Niall!" I scream loudly and hang on to Niall tightly as the rollercoaster turns upside down. I hate rollercoasters but I went on for Niall, he loves them. When the death train stops I jump out quickly.

"Don't you ever make me go on another rollercoaster ever again, Niall Horan!" I yell at him with a scowl on my face. He just starts laughing at me. I freeze at the sound of his laugh. It just reminded me of the many many things that will never be mine.

"C'mon! Lets go on the Ferris wheel." Niall says with a smile as he walks toward the huge Ferris wheel. I follow him quietly. We reach the line and we stand there conversing until its time to get in the cart that'll take us to the top. We get in. When we start to move I shiver.

"Are you cold?" Niall asks while slipping off his jacket, "Here. It gets cold up here sometimes." I look at him and smile gratefully.

"Y-You look b-b-eautiful tonight, Layla." Niall says nervously.

"Thank you, Niall." I say my mind going on overdrive. He just called me beautiful! Does this mean he likes me back? Or is he just being nice? Ugh, so many problems. I get jolted back to reality in the sight of Niall coming closer. Oh god. Is he going to kiss me? I have no more time to think as his lips connect with mine. His lips are so soft. He pulls away to my dismay.

"Layla? I love you. I have since I met you." Niall says with a determined look in his eyes.

"I love you too, Niall. I have since you left for The X Factor." I say going in for another kiss. The Ferris wheel stops and it's time to get off. Niall jumps off first and grabs my hand to help me out. We spend the rest of the night laughing and talking and just having fun, catching up. When it's time to go we head out to his car. We get in.

"Hey, Layla? Would you maybe wanna be my girlfriend?" Niall asks blushing.

I just laugh "Yes, Niall. I would love to." I smile brightly. I like the sound of that. I mean I'm his girlfriend! Woah, I can't believe this is actually happening! All of sudden Niall's phone rings.

NIALL'S POV

My phone to rings and I go to pick it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey! Niall! It's your old buddy, Chase! Remember me?"

"Oh! Hey man! I haven't seen you in so long, dude."

"I know! That's why I'm inviting you and Layla to my party tomorrow night. It's a welcome home party for you. There's gonna be beer and girls and music. It's gonna be awesome!"

"That's awesome but wait me and Layla are dating now so I won't be hooking up with anyone but her. Got it?"

"You and Layla? Man! When did this happen?"

"Just a few seconds ago. Look, I gotta go but I'll call you later to catch up."

"Ok. Go hang with your lady!"

"Haha. Whatever bye."

"Bye."

I hang up and look at Layla and smile lovingly.

"That was Chad and we are going to his party tomorrow night." I say to my beautiful girlfriend.

"Oh, cool!" She says looking a bit unsure.

"What's wrong, Layla?" I ask concerned.

"Nothing, babe. I'm excited." She says with fake enthusiasm on her face.

"Ok..." I knew there was something wrong but I ignored it...for now.
