Ella's POV :

I walked off the stage brushing past the boys who were about to perform. Jake engulfed me in a hug.

"You did amazing Ella, I'm so proud of you!" He said. I quickly pulled away from the hug.

"Can we leave?" I said taking a shaky breath.

"But you said you would talk to Niall..." Jake trailed off.

"I know, but I just want to go home." I said. He nodded at my response and took my hand. We grabbed our bags from the dressing room and walked out from the back.

I still had tears falling from my eyes. We finally got to Jakes car.

"Ella, please calm down. It's over, you did it." Jake said. I didn't respond. I just squeezed it hand a little tighter.

I just had so many thoughts going through my mind, it was scary. I kept thinking of the hate. How there will be more than just directioners.

The car ride was about 2 hours long and all I did was think. I don't know why, I just did.

Jake pulled up to the apartment complex and I got out of the car quickly. Jake followed closely behind. I took the stairs up to my room.

When I finally opened the door, I ran to my bedroom and hid underneath the covers.

"Ella, what's wrong. You're going, like, cray cray." Jake laughed at himself and he pulled the covers off of me.

"I just want to be alone." I mumbled.

"W-"

"Because I just do Jake! That was the hardest thing I have ever done, ever. Can you please just give me sometime to get back." I said.

"Ok, I'll be in the living room." Jake said, backing out of my room. He closed the door behind him.

I plugged my phone into my docking station and put it on shuffle. Maybe music will help me get my mind off things.

I changed into some yoga pants and a hoodie. I put my hair in a high bun. I washed off my makeup then crawled underneath the covers again.

I held onto my necklace and began thinking of my mom.

I've always wondered what kind of person she was.

I wondered what my life would be like if I had a normal family. A mother and a father. Now I don't have neither.

My children will never meet them. They will have to face through their life too what their grandpa did. They will have to find out why they will never be able to meet them.

A tear slid down my cheek.

I want their life to be different than mine was. I want them to have no trouble. But I know that is a lot to ask for.

Someone opening the door interrupted my thoughts.

"Jake. I said I wanted to be alone." I mumbled. I turned my head.

I didn't see Jake though.

Who I saw was the boy I had never moved on from.

Niall Horan.

I looked back up at the ceiling.

"What are you doing here?" I asked quietly. Niall didn't respond, he just closed the door behind him and sat down at the edge of my bed.

I saw him a little closer. It looked like he had been crying.

"Last time I was in here was forever ago." I heard him whisper. I sat up in the bed and shut off the music.

His head turned to me.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, I guess." I took a deep breath. "I still feel like I have butterflies."

"Ella, I know we've haven't been as close as we used too, and that's my fault." He paused.

"Don't say that." I said, "Don't say that it's your fault because it's not. At all, really. Every single time we talk I push you away, and I don't want to anymore." I whispered.

"What do you mean?" He said looking up at me.

"I mean that I miss you." I said.

His eyes widen, then a smile spread across his lips.

"I miss you too." He scooted next to me and took my hand.

"Ella, I love you." He said quickly. I kept my head down. Everything seemed so unreal.

"You do?" I gasped. I looked up at him and he nodded his head.

"I love you too." I smiled.

He leaned down so our noses were touching. I looked into his beautiful blue eyes.

"I should've never let you go." He mumbled before placing his lips on mine.

His hand rested on my cheek. I wrapped my arms around his neck. Our lips moved in sync and passionately.

I pulled away from the kiss. I saw a tear slip down his cheek.

"You don't know how long I've waited for this." He whispered.

I pulled the covers over us and rested me head on his chest. Our fingers intertwined.

I don't know why, but I laughed.

"Not as long as I have, Niall. Not even close."
