Eighteen Wishes

The Aftermath

Once I got to my room I pulled my suitcase and a backpack out of my closet to start packing. I looked at the luggage on the floor and then decided I should text Niall. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and sent a quick text.

To My Sexy Leprechaun: Are you okay?

Once it was sent I went back to packing. I threw jeans, long-sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, and a couple coats into the large suitcase since I knew it was cold over in London. I stared at my closet trying to make sure I have everything. I go to pick out a comfortable outfit for the early flight tomorrow and then headed to my bathroom to pack all of my toiletries. As I was packing my toothbrush I felt my phone go off in my pocket.

From My Sexy Leprechaun: I'm better but will you come to cuddle?

To My Sexy Leprechaun: Of course, I will :)

I smiled at my phone then walked out of my room to Niall's down the hall. Before I knocked on the door I took a deep breath and prepared myself to what I might be walking into. I raised my hand up to knock but the door suddenly opened causing me to almost hit Niall.

"Hey," I said with a small smile.

"Hey," he said stepping out of the doorway to let myself inside his room. I looked around and saw that all of his stuff was packed up and ready to go for tomorrow. After I looked around I walked to the side of the bed and sat down. As I sat there Niall stood in front of me. I felt his eyes on me making me look up at his dark blue eyes. I watched as they turned from dark blue to the normal ocean blue. He took my hand in his and surprised me by pulling me up off the bed. The next thing I knew his arms were wrapped around me and we were chest to chest.

"May I have this dance? he asked me with a silly grin on his face.

"Do I have a choice?" I teased him.

"No, not really." He said as we started swaying back and forth. As we danced he occasionally dipped me and peppered my face with kisses making me smile. We danced for a while just messing around and being a normal couple for a little while. I couldn't help the smile on my face as I danced with Niall, I could dance with him for the rest of my life. Finally, we both got tired and laid down on the bed to cuddle. I laid with my head on his chest, I felt him playing with the ends of my hair making me let out a sigh of contentment. 

As I laid there my mind became flooded with thoughts of what was about to happen in the coming days. I was worried about the meeting. I was stressing about school. I was reflecting on Niall and Is relationship. But the big topic that kept coming back into my thoughts was what am I going to do if management made us break up? I was so scared of losing Niall while he was touring but I never thought about how management would react. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew I was being poked in the side. I grumbled and swatted at the poking so I could roll over and go back to sleep. When the poking started again I grunted and threw the pillow under my head at the poking. I just wanted to sleep. I was laying there when I got flipped to my back and a pair of lips landed on mine. I fluttered my eyes open and saw Niall above me kissing me.

"Well good morning sleeping beauty." he teased and stood up.

"Do I have to get up?" I whined while sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"Yes, we have to catch our flight," he informed me while he looked through the room to make sure he had everything.

"What time is it?" I groggily asked while finally standing up.

"Three am. Our flight leaves in an hour." Niall turned to face me and smirked. I saw the smirk on his face but couldn't figure out why. I followed his eyes and saw that I had taken my shirt off in my sleep leaving me in my sports bra. I felt the heat in my cheeks rise and walked out of the room to go get my bags and change. I reached my room and quickly threw on a pair of leggings and an oversized sweater along with my uggs.

Once I was dressed I went into my bathroom to brush my teeth and hair. After I brushed my hair I threw it up into a messy bun and left the room with my bags. I made my way downstairs and out to the garage to put everything in the car. I stood there for a second knowing that when I come back everything might be different. There could be no Niall and I. I don't know what to expect going into this trip. A door brought me out of my thoughts and back to the present. I look up from the ground to find my mom walking towards me.

"Hi Hun," She said as she approached me and gave me a hug. "Do you have everything?" she asked still holding me in her arms.

"Yeah," I responded while staring into space.

"Okay," she said letting me go from the comfort of her arms that I had always had to protect and comfort me. I stood there once again while she packed her bags into the trunk of the car. Soon after Niall came out of the house and put his bags in the car also. With his bags in, he came up and gave me a hug from behind. I rested my head back against his chest and let out a sigh. I felt him kiss the top of my head a few times helping me relax.

"We should go." He softly said. To that, I nodded and turned around in his arms. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek before getting in the car with Niall following me. My mom got in the driver's seat and started the car to head out. As we made our way to the airport I leaned over and rested my head on Niall's shoulder. It was a short quiet ride to the airport from my house. When we arrived at the airport we got a surprise; there were tons of fans and reporters standing at the entrance of the airport waiting for us. As I looked out the window my jaw dropped. I turned to Niall who already had his phone out texting and starting to call for help. Thankfully none of the reporters knew my mom's car so we could sit there and wait for help. Within minutes the police and security guards were at our door to help us through the crowd. I had gotten somewhat used to the noise but my mom had never experienced this.

"Okay mom, all you have to do is keep your head down and not say a word. No matter what." I told her the exact words Niall had told me. She nodded and got out of the car. It was pretty calm since my mom was the only one out of the car and no one had seen us yet. As soon as my door was opened and I got out was when the screams started. When Niall got out the screams seemed to quadruple.
