Audrey's P.O.V.
We were all huddled outside the bathroom door shushing each other and trying to hear what was going on. The problem was, we all wanted to be near the door, so everyone was elbowing each other and muttering things like "Move over!" or in Louis' place, "Make way for the queen."
This went on for a few mor minutes until Harry said "SHHHHHHHHHH! HE'S SAYING SOMETHING," in a loud whisper.
We all leaned in closer. "What I was trying to say was, will you be my girlfriend?" Liam asked Pearl. "Yes!" I turned to Niall and squealed with excitement. He grinned at me. Everyone around us was cheering and oblivious to what we were doing. Niall took my hand in his and pulled me out of the group. I didn't ask where we were going, I didn't need to. I trusted Niall with all my heart. We walked past equipment, Josh's drums, Niall's guitar and out into the rows and rows of seats, but instead of sitting, we went down a narrow path of stairs and under the stage. It was amazing. All the stage lights were shining through the thin gaps between the metal like escaping rays of moonlight.
"Sit down m'lady," Niall said, joking and gesturing to a box labeled 'stage tech'. I giggled and sat down.
Niall stood in front of me. I looked up and gazed into his amazing blue eyes for a second, but then he looked down.
"Audrey, ever since I've met you I've known you were the one I want to be with. I want you to know that even though I've known you for only a month, I feel like I've known you all my life. You are beautiful, smart, funny, and kind. So basically...what I'm asking is..." I started crying as he pulled a small Tiffany blue box out of his jeans pocket. "Will you be my princess?" He opened the box to reveal a dainty diamond ring in the shape of a shamrock. "It's a promise ring, because I want to be with you for the rest of my life, and I promise if you say yes that I will never do anything to hurt you Audrey. I'll take care of you princess." He looked back up.
"Oh Niall!" I said, jumping up and hugging him "of course I will be your princess!" He knelt down and put the promise ring on my finger, tingles ran down my spine as the cool metal touched my skin. Niall stood up and kissed me softly on the lips.
"We'd better get back, they're probably wondering where we've run off too." I nodded and smiled at him.
"Yeah, they probably are," I said as we made our way back feeling like I was walking on clouds.
~A few days later~
"Ughhhhhhhh why so early Pearl?" I groaned, stretching my arms then checking to make sure the ring was still there. It was.
"Because we all have to board a flight in two hours and the boys will be here in 30 minutes to pick us up." Ugh, good thing I packed last night then.
"Fine Mommy Direction, I'll get up. But only because the flight's to England and I can't wait to see the boys' flat." After I'd showered, blow-dried my hair, done my makeup, gotten dressed and zipped my toiletries into my suitcase the doorbell rang.
"Pearl!!! The boys are here!" I yelled as I opened the door. That's strange, no one was there. I stepped out into the hallway, when all of a sudden "WAHHHH!!!" Something or someONE lunged at me. I tried to jump out of the way, but I tripped and landed on the soft carpet of the hotel room. Fortunately, Louis missed me by an inch.
"Ouch!" I exclaimed, pushing Lou out of my way as Niall laughed at Louis and helped me up. Louis was probably my best friend out of the guys other than Niall, I loved helping him pull tricks on the other boys and Pearl. Liam was the guy version of Pearl, they were just the perfect couple, Zayn was a great person to sit and talk with, and Harry was an awesome person to talk about things that don't really matter, like the other day, when we were discussing which Harry Potter character everyone would be (he said Paul would be McGonnagall). And Niall, well he was everything I could ever ask for. He was sweet, funny, protective, kind, cute, not to mention his adorable accent! It still hadn't really sunk in yet, me being his girlfriend, I mean. We haven't told the fans yet. What if they don't like me? What if they hate me?! Once we were on the plane I told Niall my fears.
"Don't worry baby, remember what I said that night, about how I won't let anybody hurt you? Well this is part of it, the fans will see how happy I am, and they'll be happy too," he kissed the top of my head. Just then I realized how tired I was, I rested my head on Niall's shoulder and drifted off to sleep.
~Two weeks later, Liam's birthday, London, England~
It was the afternoon before Liam'a birthday party. Apparently a ton of celebs were going to be there, I was so excited! Since we'd been in England, we've become good friends with Perrie and Eleanor. They were with us in the room Pearl and I shared trying to figure out what to wear to Liam's party. Luckily our walk in closet had been fully stocked with clothes hand-picked by Lou Teasdale. El held up a cute red dress.
"What do you think?" she asked, twirling around.
"It will look amazing on you!" Pearl answered.
"Totally!" I agreed.
An hour later the doorbell rang. It was a good thing that we had just finished getting ready. I was wearing a pink lace dress and the ring Niall gave me, Pearl was dazzling in a pale blue dress, El was clothed in the red dress, and Perrie was showing off a super cute yellow dress and silver shoes. Pearl rushed to open the door as the rest of us ran to get the gifts.
Niall gave me a kiss on my hand and said, "Shall I walk you to the car m'lady?" I giggled, he was so cute.
"Why thank you sir," I replied as we walked out to the car hand in hand.
