His Princess, Without Him [Book 2]

#12 You Say What!!?

Niall's P.O.V.

The show was going flawlessly. The crowd was louder then ever before and the times we had to change cloths I quickly checked on Lauren, who was having lots of fun.

"Hi sweetheart. Do you enjoy it?" She nodded happily and I left again. It was a short conversation but I knew she was alright.

"Boys! Twitter questions are next and we chose them today!" Ben, someone from the crew and management, said to us as we run on stage again. We didn't had time to leave a comment because the intro of Kiss You started to play and we got our microphones pushed in our hands.

"Twitter time! We have a few questions picked out and we are gonna answer or do them!" I said trough my microphone after being finished with Kiss You.  

"By the way! Don't ask us to make a human peramide. We have done that so many times before and it's horrible!" Louis said and everybody laughed.

"First question! "What would be your best christmas gift ever!" Harry read out loud. 

"Well... I'd say food and a new guitar since I really love that" I said and everybody laughed at me. The rest answered as well and they got to the next question.

"Who is that little girl who is always around Niall? I am jealouse!!! from @Niall=mine" You say what! We agreed on not letting them know about Lauren till the 24th.

Why did they do this? To push me in saying she was nobody?

The lads were shocked just like me and didn't knew what to do either.

"I think that it's time for you to show her. Baby come here" I saw her looking at me and her look showed enough to me. She was scared.

"Everybody meet Lauren! She's my daughter!" She nervously walked to me and I lifted her up.

"Baby meet our amazing fans!" The crowd went wilder then ever before as Lauren looked around to the audience.

"I'll see you later baby girl. Just watch the show with aunt Eleanor and Louise" She nodded and run back again.

"Well, that was a surprise..." Zayn tried to joke but my gut twisted as I heard what some girls on the front row said.

"Attention whore. Isn't that that girl that got abducted a couple  months ago? Yes she is! She should have died there!" This hurted me more than the hate I got myself.

They didn't knew a singel thing about her, the situation she had been in and that she hated atention. They didn't had the right to say anything about her at all.

"Hey! Everybody listen to me!" I yelled without thinking. The boys looked at me and mouthed no but I didn't stopped because people had to understand. She was my little princess and no one could hurt her in whatever way possible.

"Yes, she is my daughter and I know you all have toughts about her but do one thing to hurt her and it'll hurt me." I knew that I was in a lot of troubles for doing this but they had to understand that I'd do everything for my princess.

"Next question is from-" Harry continued the twitter questions and Louis came standing next to me.

"What the fuck are you doing Niall! This will only bring her in more danger and you in trouble." "No it won't. They understand that they can't freaking touch her!" he shook his head and walked off again.

The rest of the gig was cool, the longer I thought about it the more I realized both me and Lauren were in lots of trouble for me doing this stunt without thinking.

"Baby! Did you like it? The fans loved you!" I quickly rushed to Lauren who directly jumped in my arms.

"Do they really?" why wouldn't they? Poor girl, if only she knew in how much trouble I was right now.

"Yes! The twitter blowed up with your name. You're trending all over the world" Of course she wouldn't understand what that meant, or was.

"What does that mean?" "That a lot of peoples are using your name in their tweets. Almost all the things are positive. They can't hate you because you're just too adorable. Just like Lux. Everyone loves her too" she laughed softly and tired. It was a long night for her and she needed sleep. Lots of sleep.

"Now it's time for you to leave. You can go with Lou to the touring bus. I'll be there later. We have to finish everything here. Some last meet and greets. But I'll see you if you aren't asleep when I'm there. Don't wait on me. I'll be with you tonight" I looked around, searching someone who could take her away from here so I could get yelled at for my behaviour in stage. Lou was the closest person who was free.

"Lou! Can you take Lauren with you to the bus please? I have some stuff to finish here. El and Pez will be there in ten minutes. Thank you!" Lou agreed and when she gave me a hug she whispered something in my ear.

"I think you did the right thing Nialler. They'll come around." I hoped so. As much as I loved Lauren, if my, and so the others, career would be ruined...

Everybody would blame and hate me, Lauren... They would blame her.

"I'll see you tomorrow Nialler. Come Lauren! We go to bed" Directly I got pulled back by Paul.

"You, I, talk. Now!" I nodded and followed him, while thinking of a way to explain and talk this good.

"Niall what the hell where you thinking!!?" "What was I thinking? Paul I tought we agreed on showing her on the 24th! I couldn't lie about this. You better talk to the one who picked that question from the thousands we got. I did what I saw as the only option to make sure my daughter stays safe." All the time Paul watched me speaking without interupting. Maybe he could understand...

"We didn't picked the question. We saw it and ignored it to prevent this from happening. But you should have known better Niall. If you wanted her to be safe you shouldn't have adopted her.

If you wanted her to have a normal life you did the stupidest thing you could have ever done." "I know, I know Paul. I don't think that I can do this any longer. She needs a normal life, and she can't have that with me." He nodded and I turned around.

:-:-:-:

Paul was right. I should have known better. This was the worse idea ever and I won't make a mistake like this again...

I had to let her live a normal life without me. For her own good.
