Forever Young (One Direction)[completed]

Chapter 14-Broken Princess

Raven POV

I can't believe how much they liked us! We're not even that good of singers! We descended through the stage and Thorn came to meet us, hugging us round our necks tightly.

"You, girls, are AWESOME!!!!" he yelled and Louis laughed, he was getting ready to board the stage.

"Good luck" I winked, and kissed Niall on the cheek "Not that you need it!" I added, facing Louis "But our performance will be extremely difficult to beat!"

The music started to play and the boys boarded the stage, cue about 10,000 fans screaming their heads off!

I grabbed a bottle of water, I was boiling. Hair clung to my neck and my black lipstick felt really slippery, my feet ached in their heeled leather boots and my black 'Chat Noir' t-shirt felt uncomfortably thick. Ella looked in a similar state of discomfort, so we hurried to the dressing rooms and I put on high waisted denim jeans and a lacy black vest top and Ella wore a red vest top and a white skirt patterned with red and green chilli peppers.

When we returned, Thorn was sat in Liam's seat, playing with the cap on a bottle of blackcurrant flavoured water. He seemed back to normal. Ella asked him why he was there. I was a little worried about his sudden materialisation too. He explained that no, Zandaya was not closing in; he just wanted to monitor how we were doing. I nodded, remembering Zandaya's eyes; I shuddered, and took a sip of water. The image reminded me of a cave; they looked dark, and harboured something horrific.

Around an hour and a half later the boys arrived backstage, they were boiling hot and sweaty, Harry flopped down in his seat, kicking off his converse. Thorn passed around bottles of water, he seemed to hit it off with Louis straight away, and they talked for ages! When he had finished his water, Niall kissed me quickly in front of everyone, and Ella raised her eyebrows, Liam walked over to do the same to her, but she diverted him by starting up a conversation with Zayn; she obviously didn't want Harry to see them.

Later on, after we all ate, the others we tired so they called a few of the cars to take them back to the hotel. Thorn was going to sleep on the sofa in Liam and Zayn's current room, since he seemed to hit it off with all the boys.

Me, Harry and Niall were the only ones who stayed out, but Harry's phone rang so he went off to talk to someone called Daisy. It was late, so most of the shops were closed, and it was easier for us to get away from the paparazzi. We were only stopped once, by someone that recognised both of us from the concert and wanted a picture with us both!

"Hey, when will 'The Vampires' be releasing their first single?" she asked me, checking out the picture of us three on her iphone 5.

"I'm not sure, you'll have to wait and see!" I said

"Oh, I hope you can do one soon, I really enjoyed you at the concert!" she exclaimed

"Nice to hear that!" I said with a cheery smile "We were just a fill in support act because the others couldn't get there in time" A taxi pulled up and beeped the horn.

"I'm glad I saw you there! You were awesome! Got to go now, see you later!" She said, opening the door of the taxi and climbing in.

It was so weird seeing someone who wanted to talk to me about something other than the boys!

Niall and I walked hand in hand down the quiet streets, only noticing that it was raining when it started tipping buckets! We ran along the street, looking for an open shop, and all we managed to find was a few bars we weren't allowed in, and a lot of closed signs! I was freezing in my jeans and vest top. Niall saw me shaking and unzipped his hoody, wrapping it around my shaking shoulders. We walked along for a little bit longer, then sat down on a bench next to a huge ornamental fountain. The light from a single street light shone off the water glistening on the pavement. The same light shone out of Niall's eyes. It looked beautiful, and I knew that now was the time. The rain seemed to stop for a break, so I looked up at his perfect face.

He cupped my face in his hand, stroking my cheek, his touch was electric on my skin

"You are so beautiful..." he whispered, then smiled. I looked down, at my drenched vans and then looked back up at him,

"Niall?" I asked, suddenly panicking he'd say no "Will, you, I mean you don't have to if you like don't want to, or something, but... Will you be my boyfriend?"Please don't say no, please don't say no, please don't say no! I thought, willing him not to say no, hoping he wouldn't. His face was blank for a second, and then he stood up, beaming from ear to ear, he lifted me into the air, and span me round, laughing and laughing.

"Of course I will princess!" he grinned, setting me down. I put my arms round his neck, and used his impressive frame to lift myself into the air, wrapping my denim clad knees around his chest. He put his arms around me, and I kissed him passionately, as the rain started up again. Fireworks popped in my mind, and I'm not talking sparklers, I mean frikking 4th July! There was nothing in the world but Niall, and Niall's lips and the feel of Niall's fluffy blonde hair between my fingers, Niall's amazing scent. I was his. He was mine. I can honestly say that, that evening with Niall was one of the happiest of my entire life.

If only he knew that I wasn't really the princess he was expecting.
