I spent ages talking on the phone to Laura and Kate. The three of us had been best friends since our very first day of school. Laura and Kate were twins, even though they look and are nothing alike. They moved to Tasmania when we were just 7, but somehow we managed to stay best friends. They were both massive Directioners, so when I told them the story about Niall & I they didn't believe a word of it.

"Bullshit!" said Laura.

"I'm being serious, Niall and I met in Sydney and saw each other every day until tonight, he leaves Melbourne tomorrow." I said.

"Have you got any proof or are you just messing with our minds?" asked Kate.

"I can email you both a photo of us, and then you might believe me." I laughed.

I found a few photos that Niall and I had taken on my laptop while we were watching the footy this afternoon. We were joking around and having a bit of fun, like pulling faces, hugging and one of us kissing.

"I will send you the one of us making stupid faces." I said to them both.

"Okay, we will see if your lying or not."

Image sent to Laura and Kate.

I was still on the phone to the both of them, waiting for them to receive my email and find out that i wasn't joking.

"Wait, is this legit or is this just some pretty amazing photo shop work?" Kate asked.

"Um no, no photo shop, it's 'legit'" I said as I laughed.

Kate and Laura were fangirling for a while as they were in shock about my new relationship. I was still in a lot of shock too, I mean, I was dating someone that I had loved for a year, someone who didn't know me until last week. I used to be in love with Niall Horan, a band member from One Direction but now... I'm in love with just a guy called Niall; this was true love and not just some celebrity crush.

Abbey rushed into my room with our home phone.

"It's someone special for you." She said as she winked.

By this time it was around midnight. I had gotten off the phone to Laura and Kate but I was skyping them instead.

I answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Hello, it's me?" he said with his cute Irish accent.

"Me as in... Niall?" I laughed.

Laura and Kate both went into shock when I said his name. They immediately knew that I was on the phone to him.

"How was the concert tonight? Melbourne crowds go crazy!" I said.

"To be honest, that was probably the loudest crowd we've ever had."

"Glad you enjoyed it."

"I'm going to miss you a lot." He said.

"I'm going to miss you too."

I could hear Laura and Kate on skype going "awwwww". I couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked me.

"Oh I'm just laughing at the background noises. I'm skyping my best friends, Laura and Kate, they both say Hi!"

I quickly put the phone on loudspeaker.

"Tell them I say Hi!" he said.

Laura and Kate's reaction was priceless!

"Well I have to go now babe, but promise me we'll see each other soon." He asked.

"Yes I will see you soon. When do you boys get a break?"

"We get a month of at the end of May." He replied.

"That works out really well, I have a break from University then and I'm sure I can get a week or two off from work. Maybe I can fly out to Mullingar?"

"That would be absolutely amazing." He said.

"Okay we can figure it out in the meantime. Bye Niall."

"Bye beautiful, I love you." He said.

"I love you too."

I had ended my phone call with Niall and I had finished video chatting with Kate and Laura. Now it was time to go to bed, but suddenly I received a text from a number I didn't recognise.

It read: "Treat him well, he's mad for you and you're his first real girlfriend. xx"

I replied: Sorry to sound rude, but who is this? And of course I will treat him "

Just a few minutes later I received a reply: "Haha it's Zayn. I know you will, I was just making sure Xx."

After waking up from an amazing sleep in, I did my usual routine. I would get ready, have breakfast and go down to my favourite cafe down the street. I walked down the street to grab a magazine before I went and had my coffee with Abbey. I picked up the first magazine I could find and immediately paid for it at the register. I continued walking down to the coffee shop, that is where I met up with Abbey, we both ordered our coffee's and sat down at the table. We were chatting about work and University as I was flipping through the magazine. A page caught my eye; there was a picture of Niall with a girl.

"Oh my god Abbey, it's me!" I screamed.

"Shayla, you're in your favourite magazine!"

"Wait, we must've been followed by the stupid paparazzi."

I knew that Melbourne and Queensland didn't have a time difference so I decided to ring Niall.

"Niall, we're in a magazine! Paparazzi were following us last night."

He was quite shocked, but we were both happy that it was kind of official.

I decided to check my twitter and see if many Directioners had found out about the article.

Notification from Twitter- You were mentioned in a tweet.

I quickly checked it and it said- NiallOfficial: shayla_c I miss you already x

I replied: shayla_c: NiallOfficial I miss you too xx

Within minutes my mentions were flooding with tweets from Directioners.

'Who are you?' 'Why were you kissing Niall?' 'Leave him alone you whore.' 'Go die.' Were just a few of the tweets sent to me.

From then I knew that I would be getting either lots of love or hate tweets from fans... this was going to be interesting.
