I felt a buzz in my front pocket, telling me I'd received a text. I unlocked my phone to find an unknown number

*Unknown: You look really nice today, if you don't mind me saying :)

N- xxxxxx *

I'm one hundred percent certain that that text was sent from Niall. My lip curled up into a smile. I mouthed thank you to Niall and we shared small giggle. I saved his number and locked my phone.

I could tell we were nearly in the town centre, because I have done this journey many times and familiarised myself with the features en route.

We turned onto the roundabout and the next few moments was all a blur. The car I front suddenly stopped leaving us hardly any room to break, causing us to all jolt forward. It wasn't that bad but ever since my escapade in the snow a few years ago, where my parents left me in the car thinking I was safe, to them start rolling down the hill with no one in the driers seat, I haven't been very good with sudden breaks. The girls knew about this and understood how scared I got. My hands started to shake quite a lot. Niall noticed and put his hand on his, instantly making the feeling go away. The rest of the journey was silent as we were all pretty shaken up by the previous events.

"Are you sure your going to he alright by yourself in town" Tom asked, with a worried tone. "No I think we'll be alright" Ellie answered with a smile "are you sure now?" He asked, being the older sibling I know how he feels. "Yes, yes you go and be here for half four to pick us up!" "Be careful girls and if there's any problems please don't hesitate to call!" Niall says with a smile. I can't help but return it despite my current feelings. Tom drives out if the car park, only to return a few minutes later. "Niall wouldn't let me leave you, I guess we're coming with you, don't worry we won't embarrass you, we'll just be behind you invade anything happens!" Tom explains. "Protective much" gwen giggles.

When we are in the shopping centre we decide to go into Hollister and get a few things. I purchase my items whilst the girls and Tom are still browsing. "Do you want to go to another shop whilst these four take four years to choose?" We share a laugh before I agree and tell the others my plans.

We go down the stairs to see what shops are on the bottom floor, when I see my favourite shop Thomas Sabo. Even though I only own one item from the shop I still loved it. I could spend hours in there looking through all the different charms they had. I have a music note charm at home, given to me by my father when I passed my piano exam. I only wear my charm bracelet on special occasions.

"Don't you love looking at all the different charms" I ask Niall, he smiles "not really but I don't mid watching you as you daydream" he chuckles. I can feel myself going beetroot. "I'm coming now, I was only looking anyway" I say to Niall. "Which one is your favourite?" He asks me. "Umm, well that's a difficult one there's so many!" I scan the charms once again "that one" I point at a charm which has a little leprechaun holding a pot of gold. "It reminds me of you and your accent" I say blushing. "Let me buy it for you" he says with a grin. "No way, have you seem how expensive they are?" I say "go on please" he pleads. "No way!" I protest. "Fine, but I do need to get something for my mums birthday" he says. "I'll just be over here" I saw pointing at the overpriced watches towards the back of the shop. He comes with a bag and smiles. "Shall we meet up with the others for lunch?" He asks "yeah okay! What did you buy for your mum?" I ask sounding intrigued. "Oh just some ring" he replies. As we walk up to the food court I realise that I've only known Niall for under 48 hours, yet it seems like I've known him all my life.

"Table for six?" The waitress in Nando's asks us. We all nod our heads and follow her to our table. We order our food. "So I was thinking that us girls need to go to boots to get some makeup and that, you two can wander off it you like?" Gwen suggests. "We'll just wait outside" Niall says quickly. "I don't like the idea of leaving you" Niall admits, blushing. "Yeah um, we're okay with that" I say on the girl behalf wether they like it or not. Niall was being so nice and protective it was really sweet.

We pay the bill and go downstairs. We enter boots and I scan the makeup section looking for some new mascara. The girls were looking at some face masks for our next sleepover. They were so organised. "Hey hot stuff" I hear a cold voice say behind me. I quickly turn around to find a young but good looking man in his twenties.

"Uh hi?" I say back awkwardly, desperately hoping that one of the girls would come and save me, preferably Gwen because I knew she could throw a good punch.
