"Why don't we head into town and do a bit of shopping and take our mind of things?" Niall said as he walked back in from the kitchen.
"Yeah I suppose so, I could do with a new pair of shoes actually" I said as I stood up and and grabbed my coat off the rack.
"Great just let me get ma shoes on" Niall smiled

He drove around London stopping at shops we wanted to visited. We passed a sport shop that Niall wanted to look in, so we pulled up and went into the store. He must have tried on about 50 different snapbacks, first a yellow one, then a blue one and he would just stare at him self in the mirror all serious as if it was the most important decision he would ever make and I couldn't help but giggle.
We stood swapping and trying different hats on each other when a security guard from the store came over to us.
"Excuse me, but we've had to put the store on lockdown for your safety. There's an unprecedented number of fans outside along with the paparazzi."
"Okay thanks for letting us now" Niall said and shook hands with the man. "Is is safe for us to leave now or..."
"No sir I would wait a moment to see if things calm down before attempting to get back to the car."
"Great the one day we come out without security and this happens" Niall said partially joking.

After about half an hour nothing had changed, fans where still screaming and paparazzi where taking photos through the glass doors.
"We're just going to have to go, we can't sit here all day" Niall said to the security as he took my hand.

He moved towards the doors and the fans got louder as they saw we were getting closer.
Four security members from the store assisted us out.  We where hit with blinding lights and men screaming questions and comments at us as we came out the doors.
"Eliza, Niall look this way"
"Congratulations are in order I suppose"
"Who will the godfather be and how have the other band members taken the news"
"Are you ready to be a dad Niall ?"
"Eliza congratulations on the pregnancy"
Everything was overwhelming but I knew I was safe with Niall. I pulled my sunglasses off my head and over my eyes to block out the bright flashes and I just kept my head down, not wanting to look up at any of the aggressive men. I'd had crazy fan encounters before, but this was on another lever.
They where grabbing at the hood on Niall's jacket and jumping in front of us trying to get pictures. They even tried to push in between myself and Niall.
I ran round to my side of the car as a security guard opened the passenger door for me and Niall started up the engine.
I couldn't take much more of this. I found it so hard to deal with. I hated the attention that we got every time we where out together and I couldn't wait to get out of London and away from the chaos and back to the familiar campus of the university.
