Authors Note: Thank you sooo much for sticking with this story, if you've gotten to this chapter! I have really enjoyed writing this, even with all the difficulty of writers block ! 

Kats POV:

One Week later.

Niall had decided to take a few more days off on break, while the other boys went back to the studio. Niall could just catch up after he left. We were in my bedroom, just waking up for the day.

Niall? What're you doing?" I asked as i watched him tear the blankets off the bed. 

"Re-living my childhood." 

"Kat, what're you thinking about?" Niall asked me. 

I hadn't realized that i'd been staring straight at him with a blank expression. I think i'm just as tired as he is. 

"Nothing, Niall. But are you gonna tell me what you're doing?"

He held up a finger, telling me to wait.  I hate when he does this, and he knows it. But i cant get mad at him. His friendly set of mind reminds me like a small dog, who wants love and when you get mad at them they get a sad face. I sat on my couch, and didn't realize time was going past. I left Niall in my room, doing whatever it was he was doing.  

"Kat?" 

Crap. It had been longer then i thought. What had Niall done? I got up, and Niall was waiting for me, motioning me to go into my room. 

When i walked in, Niall had built a fort, or a castle, i couldn't tell, out of cardboard boxes, and the sheets of my bed. 

"Niall! This is incredible!" I approved of him as he was crawling inside.

"Come on, Kat! Come in!"

I crawled in behind him, he had put pillows in there and a portable DVD player. He put in a DVD, and then looked at me, reading the sad expression on my face.

"Kat? Whats wrong?"

"Its crazy," i paused, "thinking that this is all some people have."

"I know, it is. But to some people this is luxury." Niall told me. "Can i let you in on a band secret?"

"I would love that," I kissed him. 

"The band and i are going to Africa in a few weeks, and we're allowed to bring one guest! It's for a comic relief and we'll be making a music video there. All proceeds go to kids and families that only have things like this." He told me.

"Wow, that's incredible. Also, was that you inviting me along?" I asked

"It most certainly was." He kissed me back. "Kat, this may be all some people have. But this is our castle. Even if its just in the middle of your bedroom, no one can harm us in here."

"Its our Cardboard Castle." I smiled at him. 

"And you're the princess." He laughed at me, starting the movie. 

And in that moment i knew that Niall was the perfect boy, this was the perfect moment, and i had the perfect relationship. Nothing could change, and i could finally say that i am as happy as ill ever be.
