My Mentor *Completed*

Eighteen. God?

(A/N - I think you all might like this chapter!!!!  ;)  {until the end of it, that is}  Also, this story is #90 in fanfiction!!!  That is just amazing to me.  Thank you all so much!!  I <3 everyone of you!!  Enjoy!!!  xx Oh....the gif on the side has absolutely nothing to do with this story but it is just one of those Narry moments that make me loose my mind.  That gif is the second part of the Narry Moment.  I'm sure you have all seen both of them.  Niall stares and follows Harry's eyes with such intensity and then in the second gif, shown, Harry smiles brightly at Niall and he averts his gaze and you can kind of see the slightest and very subtle right side of his lips turn up.  Ugh...you have no idea what that did to my chest!!!  hahaha)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Almost a month has passed since New York and if I’m honest, I am still overwhelmed by it all.  Last weekend brought the X-Factor season premier.  My family gathered together on Saturday and Sunday night to watch the first round of auditions.  There are a total of six episodes showing the auditions, two episodes that show boot camp and then finally, two episodes that will have the judges’ houses.

They are showing the Dublin auditions this Saturday.  I am a little nervous to see if they chose my audition and interview to show.  I mean I did say that I was gay in the interview, so I am guessing they probably will show it.  I’m sure it will make for good tv. 

Tomorrow, Friday, is my eighteenth birthday.  I am ready to be eighteen.  I am ready to be able to go to a bar and order a pint, legally.  Jamie was going to come up this weekend and spend it with me but something came up at work and he is unable to.  He bugged me every day for the first few weeks after judges’ houses to tell him if I made it or not.  He got angry many times but actually just gave up and stopped asking a few days ago.  He will be coming for a visit the last weekend in September.  That is the weekend that they will be showing the boot camp episodes.

Harry and I have still continued to maintain our friendship.  I would probably consider him a very close friend, actually.  He told me that he came out to his management, finally, but they stated that it is best for him to not come out to the public just yet.  He has to wait until X-Factor is over.  They have even set him up on a couple dates with some female models just to maintain his image.  I have to admit that I felt slight jealousy but I have no right to feel that way.  I have Jamie and believe it or not, it hasn’t been too bad over the past few weeks.

The fourth of September marked Jamie and my three month anniversary.  He had flowers and chocolates delivered to my home.  They were beautiful and it was a very sweet gesture.  It doesn’t really feel like it has even been three months.  We have only seen each other a few times since he left Ireland in June.  But I maintain the relationship because I feel I still need him.

I wake up to my parents and my brother standing over my bed with a cupcake and a candle in it.  It’s a tradition.  Every year since I can remember, we have done this for each of us on our birthdays.  They are singing and I make a wish and blow out the candle.  We are having a party later tonight and then after I am going out to a few pubs with my friends.

After my family leaves my room I get ready for the day.  I check my phone and I have happy birthday messages from my friends.  Liam and Zayn have also left messages wishing me a happy birthday.  I reply to all of the messages, thanking them.

I get down stairs and plop myself down on the couch and of course as soon as I do, the door bell rings. 

“Niall, honey would you get that” my mum calls and I walk towards the door.  When it is opened there is a delivery guy with a bouquet of flowers and balloons.  I smile.
