I woke up to a message from Niall. "Good morning beautiful -Niall"

I had a lot to do before Niall picks me up for school. I have to get ready for school, finish getting my stuff together to go with Niall this weekend, and I have to tell my mom I'm staying at a friends tonight.

I quickly threw on some skinny jeans, a colorful blouse, and some vans. I curled my hair and did my make-up. I walked into the kitchen where my mom was cooking breakfast.

"Hey mom, my friend Abby asked me to spend the night at her house tonight is that okay?" I asked hoping she would buy my story.

"That's fine with me, go ask your dad." My mom said standing at the stove.

I walked into the living room to ask my dad. "Hey daddy, is it okay if I stay at my friend Abby's house tonight?" I said in the sweetest voice possible

"Who's Abby?"

"One of my new friends from school."

"I guess that's okay."

"Okay, I'll see you all tomorrow then." I said grabbing my things and walking out of the apartment.

"Love you," I said before closing the door.

I heard my parents yell "love you too"

I walked downstairs to meet Niall, he was waiting for me in the lobby.

"Hey babe," Niall said walking over to me and kissing me on the cheek.

"Hey."

"Here, let me take your bags to the car for you love." Niall said grabbing my bags.

Niall and I walked out to the car, and Niall put my bags in the trunk. I got in the car and waited for Niall to get in.

"Hey Niall..."

"Yes, babe?"

"Are you excited for your audition?"

"Yeah, I'm really nervous though."

"Niall, don't be nervous you'll do fine, and I'll be right there with you." I said grabbing Niall's hand.

"What would I do with out you?"

"The better question is, what would I do with out you?"

"I guess we'd both be screwed," Niall said as we drove to school.

School flew by, which was great because I couldn't wait to hit the road with Niall. I'm not going to lie, I do feel bad about lying to my parents. But what the don't know won't hurt em, right?

I grabbed my things from my last class, left the classroom and headed to my locker to meet Niall. We meet there pretty much everyday after last period.

I walked up to my locker, only to find Niall already waiting for me. I could tell he was nervous. I don't know why he's so nervous about his audition. He's great! I guess he just doesn't see what I see.

"Ready to go babe?" Niall asked me.

"Of course."

"Well then, here we go." Niall grabbed my hand and led me out of the school and to his car. He kissed me before helping me into the car.

Niall got in and we drove off.

"Niall,"

"Yes love?"

"You'll do wonderful, stop worrying!"

"I hope so, love. I'm just glad I have you for support."

We drove for quite a while. Which was pretty fun, because there's never a dull moment when your riding in a car with Niall Horan. We finally reached the air port in south Ireland where we were catching a flight to Manchester central, which is where the X-Factor auditions are held. I was pretty nervous because I'm not a fan of planes but I knew with Niall, I would be fine. He made me feel safe, like no one else does.

Niall grabbed our bags out of the trunk and we headed into the airport. We were waiting in the airport when we heard our flight be called. So we jumped up to board our plane. I let Niall have the window seat and I sat down next to him. He grabbed my hand and we talked the whole way to England. About everything really. Our families, our past relationships, what we wanted to do with our lives, and anything else you can think of.

Our plane landed after what seemed like no time. We got our bags and headed to catch a cab.

Once we got a cab Niall told the driver to take us to our hotel and I was nervous cause being from a small town I have never been in a cab before. I don't really know why I was nervous other then the fact that new things sometimes scare me but with Niall I knew I would be fine.

We sat in the back of the cab holding hands and I looked into Niall's eyes and I could still see that he was worried. I squeezed his hand and told him not to worry. He looked at me for a second and then he kissed my cheek.

"Thank you so much Katie, I couldn't do this without you." Niall whispered into my ear.

"Anytime babe" I replied.
