Best Friends With A Popstar... (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Best Friends With A Popstar.. (Chapter Twenty-Three)

*Niall's POV*

Tonight was the night of the Brit Awards. Our first performance of 'One Way or Another' on live television. I was a little nervous, heck - I was really nervous! Especially with Destiny watching us from the table where our families will be sitting at, I didn't want to mess this up with her watching us perform.

Destiny has always been a big part of my life, ever since me and the boys became famous she has become an even bigger part of my life because - not only I am making music with my four best mates for the fans but it is also for Destiny. She was the one who got me into singing after she had heard me sing when we were listening to music on her headphones few years back - she encouraged me to sing more, everytime I sang, I sang to her. No matter where we were.

When people in school asked me to sing, I sang to Destiny and even though she wasn't there some of the times I sang - I imagined she was there and listening to me, just like she did the first time I sang to her. All the songs we have done have had a message behind them and most of them were towards her - especially Little Things.

When we were in middle school, she would always point out her own insecurities and put herself down, everytime we would walk past a girl she would always say "Why can't I be as pretty as her?" "I would kill to be that skinny but that won't happen as I'm fat" - all these things she would say outloud would sometimes make me confused because why would she say those things about herself? Putting herself down when she is just as beautiful as the other girls or even more beautiful than them.

"Niall," said someone waving their hand infront of me

Quickly focusing on the person, seeing the face of the girl who takes my breath away everytime I see her

"Earth to Niall" she said smiling with her beautiful smile

"Sorry, just thinking" I said quietly

"Is Niall Horan nervous?" She asked

"Only a little" I said looking down in embarrassment

I didn't want to say that I am nervous because of her as it might make things awkward and I don’t want that to happen right before our performance. She placed both of her hands on either side of my face and made me look at her.

"It's okay to be nervous Ni," she looked into my eyes, smiling "just imagine you're singing to me. Just like when you auditioned for The X Factor. Okay?"

All the nervousness went away and I became calm - just by looking into her eyes and hearing her say those words made me happy and calm inside. I don't know how she does it, she just does it. She kept her gaze on me - not moving an inch, she slowly moved towards me and kissing my cheek.

"Kill it out there" she said and ran off back to the table she was sitting at as one of the stage guys announced we will be performing in 1 minute.

Liam patted me on the back once we headed towards the lifts - where we would shot out on stage to start performing 'One Way or Another'. Slowly the nerves started building up again, I replayed the words my best friend said to me

"Just imagine you're singing to me. Just like when you auditioned for The X Factor."

*Third POV*

.

What an amazing night had it been. Niall was still buzzing with excitement. The biggest win of the, the global success award. He could not be more happier than he was right then. It was not only the award that they had won, but it was also the fact that the one that he loved was alive and she was there to witness it. she was his biggest supporter - after his parents and brother of course, but he was doing it all for her - she believed in him and never gave up on him. Everything was happening so fast, for one moment he was standing in front of press with his four best friends, the other he was walking through the crowd, past tables towards the one where she sat. Smiling, her beautiful face was lighted up like a christmas tree, next to her sat his mother, both of them engaged in a conversation. He walked around the table so he was standing behind them and leaned down wrapping his arms around each of their shoulders and placed a kiss on his mother’s cheek before he turned his face towards Destiny, he leaned closer to her, his lips touching her soft cheek. His lips lingered there for few seconds. He could feel his heart skip a beat, and his stomach was doing somersaults.
