Switching on the radio I heard that song. Diana. The one song that was so close to home, even the intro would cause me to tear up. Even if I tried to change the song, I couldn't. It was one of the most touching songs I'd ever heard. I've never sung along to it, I've only ever just admire it, listened to the lyrics and the meaning behind each and every word.
I sat in the corner listening to it, taking in the songs meaningful words. Looking down at my arm, I ran my fingers over the red scars, remember why I made each one. Although the song broke me down, it seemed to give me confidence. Enough confidence to bring myself to smile and actually attempt to be happy.
I logged onto twitter and looked through my feed, tweets to Harry, Niall, Zayn, Liam and Louis about their new album filled my feed. I groaned in annoyance but decided I'd join and say thank you
"@missthosestairs: I don't think you boys realise how close to home the song "Diana" is to some girls. I just want to say thank you for being there :) @Niallofficial"
I'd tagged Niall in it so at least it'd have a chance to be seen. I locked my iPhone and walked downstairs. Wiping the tear stains from my cheeks. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some cereal before walking back upstairs and going onto my laptop.
I check facebook and tumblr. Deciding to check twitter as well. I had a look at my feed once again and smiled at all the girls saying thank you to the boys. It truly is an amazing song.
I went through my feed until I got bored and checked my mentions. Waiting for it to load I saw that I had a new notification from Twitter on my phone. "Niall Horan retweeted you"
I looked at my phone in disbelief, wide eyed and speechless. I stopped breathing for a minute and started gasping for the air I desperately needed. This isn't real I though. My mind was buzzing. I looked at my laptop and there it was. The same four words as the ones on my phone. I refreshed the page to see what was going on. It loaded and I swear I was about to faint.
"@NiallOfficial: @missthosestairs believe it or not, we know. Just keep smiling, yeah? xx"
I re-read that tweet at least 30 times. Trying to make sense of it all.
My follower count had started rising by the hundreds, I mentally screamed, not being able to let any sound out. This is not happening.
Niall Horan - Follows you
You have got to be kidding me?! How is this happening so quickly?! ONE BLOODY TWEET.
My fingers brushed along my keyboard before DMing him
"@missthosestairs: What made you guys write "Diana"?" My breath started to become steady. Coming to terms with what was happening.
That's when he replied
"@NiallOfficial: because too many beautiful girls, like yourself, don't realise how special you are. We want every girl to know that there is someone"
"@NiallOfficial: and if it were me, I'd never let them go. No one deserves to think that they're not worth it and it sickens me that people take pleasure out of it"
"@NiallOfficial: it's just something we all felt strongly about"
I wiped the tear that fell down my cheek, he really cared. I knew he was a softy, but this was a whole nother level..
WAIT. DID HE JUST CALL ME BEAUTIFUL?!
My smile grew wide. My heart racing, cheeks becoming hot. I have to be dreaming.
"@missthosestairs: I know what it's like to feel pathetic, and it's horrible. This song made me realise what it's like for the people around me. my loved ones"
"@missthosestairs: before i thought of it as my own problem, that I had to sort it out on my own. but you helped me think differently. Thank you so much :)"
I can't believe I was having a conversation with Niall, and my fingers were shaking dramatically.
"@NiallOfficial: You are very beautiful. Just promise me you'll DM whenever you need someone okay? i'm always here for YOU. xx"
My heart jumped in my chest.
"@missthosestairs: I promise xx"
