Sophie's P.O.V

I opened my eyes to see Niall laying in the bed, staring at me. He didn't say anything, he was just staring at me with a smile. God, this boy was crazy.

"Good morning." He said after a while. I giggled.

"Good monring hot stuff." He shook his head and pulled me close.

"You excited for today love?" He was playing with my hair, twirling it around his fingers.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. The only thing that bothers me though is that I won't get to introduce you to my friends." I know Ellie, Cara and Lauren would love Niall. Well, who wouldn't? It was impossible not to like Niall.

"Soon darling, after all you're the one who wants to wait." He wrapped his arms around me and stroked my arm.

The girls would come to my apartment at 8.00pm, we'd get ready together and then we'd meet up with their other friends at Movida. I would blend in with the crowd and the guard would probably not even check my ID. Niall, the boys, Danielle and Eleanor would turn up around 10.00pm. I was really excited, this was gonna be so much fun!

After breakfast Niall went out to get us Milkshakes from Milkshake City, it wasn't far away from my apartment. Meanwhile I went on twitter. God, the pictures from last night were everywhere. I read some of the tweets. Some of them were actually nice, others were just horrible. A tear ran down my cheek. I wasn't even upset, why was I crying? I was lying to myself.

"They're right." I breathed. I was trying to be strong when Niall was around, not show him that it affected me. But it really did. I've never been the "pretty girl" the "smart one" or anything. I was just... me. And in the celebrity world, I wasn't good enough. I hated feeling like this.

"Niall Horan seen with mysterious girl. Is this his new special lady?" I read out loud. It was the headlines on some of the celeb magazines. You couldn't really tell it was me. The fans on twitter knew because the girl who'd taken the photo of me and Niall tagged me in a tweet. This means that maybe Ellie, Cara and Lauren haven't seen the pictures. They would be hurt that I haven't told them yet but I hope they understand. I was still crying, I couldn't help it. The things people wrote were horrible. I wanted to tweet everyone saying it wasn't true but I couldn't. I had to tweet something, it was starting to look suspicious.

"@SophieJonson - Night out with my girlies. Can't wait! xx" I wrote. My mentions blew up right away. Some were asking where we were going but most of the tweets were about Niall.

"Stay the fuck away from Niall you bitch."

 

"You're so ugly. Don't mess with us directioners."

 

"You're pretty. Niall's so lucky to have you."

 

"Fuck off, Niall doesn't even like you."

 

"You're gorgeous! Is your hair real or do you have extensions?"

 

"Can't believe you're so insecure. You're stunning!"

It just made me cry even more. But I replied to some of the nice tweets. Some people were really nice, I loved these cute tweets. This twitter madness is exactly why I wanted to wait with going official. If I was getting this much hate now, I didn't even want to think about how it would be when we tell them we're together. This was ridiculous. I shut the laptop down, went into the bathroom and washed my face.

Niall's P.O.V

I'd been away for over 1 hour. Milkshake City was packed with fans. I took a lot of pictures and signed things for the fans. I mean, they're the reason to why I am where I am right now. They're incredible, so supportive. But they kept asking me questions about Sophie. Some of them were pretty rude. I just ignored the questions.

I unlocked the door to Sophie's apartment.

"I'm back, love!" I yelled as I put the milkshakes down and took my shoes off. Sophie walked up to me. Her eyes were puffy and red. She tried hiding it by smiling and looking down at her feet.

"Hi Niall, how did it go?" She asked quietly and smiled. My eyes widened. I could tell she's been crying. It was so obvious, she was clearly upset about something. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tight. She buried her face into my neck. I felt her tears streaming on my neck. I hated this and I knew exactly why she was crying.

"I won't let them hurt you." I whispered. It was all I could say. I felt helpless, I was supposed to protect her from getting hurt. Not being the reason to it. I picked her up and sat her down on my lap in the couch.

"Why didn't you tell me it bothered you yesterday?" She just looked me into the eyes. I could tell she's been crying for a while.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry. I j-just..." She sobbed.

"It's okay Soph, don't let them get to you. If you want, I'll call Danielle and Eleanor and they can come have a chat with you?" I suggested but she just shook her head.

"No, I just want to be with right now. I'm sorry, it's just hard to read what people say sometimes." She had calmed down a bit and she was looking at me with an excusing look.

"Don't apologize, this is all my fault." I hugged her tight and put my chin on her head. She was so small, she was almost a head shorter than me. And I was the shortest of all the lads.

Sophie's P.O.V

I was kind of embarrassed. I felt so bad over having a break down like that. Niall was upset over the fact that the hate affected me. When I saw the look on his eyes after he'd seen me crying like that over it I promised myself to never ever let him see that it got to me again, no matter how much it hurt. Because seeing him like that was even worse.

"Right, I'm off to the lads babe. Have fun and I'll see ya soon." Niall kissed me on my forehead and walked out. Wow, the hours really flew by with him. It was already 7.30pm! The girls would be here soon and I was still standing in my PJ's. I hadn't done anything! I had to shower, straighten my hair and everything.... omg, I would be so late. I jumped into the shower as quickly as I could. Dried my hair and straightened it. Right when I was done I heard the sound of my doorbell. I answered and the girls' faces lit up. They looked amazing. They all had their dresses on. They were stunning and I was still standing there in my PJ's, embarrassed.
