More Than Anything (Niall Horan/One Direction fan-fic)

Chapter 6

As we drove from the paparazzi, it was silent, to silent. Niall just sat and concentrated on the road as I sat thinking over what just happened. Just as the silence was getting to unbearable, Niall spoke up.

"So um, I was thinking we would just head back to my place if that's okay with you? The paps know I'm out now, so they would probably keep looking for me on the streets, the hotel is the safest place to be right now. " he seemed disappointed, I could tell.

"Yeah that's totally fine with me." I said, and it was true. I'd rather be safe in a small hotel with Niall than be in public with noisy people and blinding lights. There was a short silence before Niall spoke again.

"Um, ok. The boys will be there though so we won't be in total privacy but they'll mind there own business.. Hopefully." This made me confused.

"Boys? What boys?"

"The boys... In my band?" Oh gotcha.

"Right, sorry I forgot."

Niall looked like he was going to say something, but by the way he was holding back after every attempt, I figured he was trying to find the right words.

"Um, Brooklyn, about the band, you arnt going to think..... Differently about me, are you?" At this point, I could see alittle fear mixed with sadness in his eyes.

I let out a little soft chuckle. "Niall, why on earth would I think differently about you?" Niall's eyes stayed on the road, avoiding eye contact with me.

"Because I'm.. Me. I'm famous, everyone knows me, I have money. In the past.." He paused and sighed before continuing, "in the past, I've dated girls who would love me just because of the fame, the popularity, the money, they didn't love me for the real..." I stopped him.

"Niall, I'm not like those girls, and I never will be. Those few short minutes I had with you alone were seriously amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better first date with a guy." I said, his body seemed to soften at those words.

"You mean that?" We were stopped at a red light, and he finally turned his head and looked me straight in the eyes, hope clearly evident in them.

"Now if I didn't meant it I wouldn't have said it now would I." I smirked, his face brightening up with a smile, and may I add, it was the most beautiful smile I've ever laid eyes on.

Their was a sudden change of lighting outside, the old red lighting shining on our hood had turned to a green and the car started again, making its way down the road as we got closer to our destination.

Niall:

------

You know that feeling you get when a giant weight gets lifted off you shoulders; relief? I was feeling that now. After she told me how she felt about our first date, I was more than happy. She liked me, and I liked her, and luckily, the paps didn't ruin that.

As we arrived at our hotel, the usual fans were waiting outside. Wonderful. As I looked at Brook, she seemed to tense up a bit noticing... I'd say about 50, girls waiting outside to get a glimpse of one of us, and by the volume of their screams, they without a doubt found me. I wasn't going to risk it, I got out my phone.

As I held the phone to my ear, it rang 3 times before someone picked up.

"Hey, could I have a few body guards down here in the front, the fans are here." I said. Normally I would love to go out and say hi to them, they're so loyal it's not even funny, but, I had Brooklyn, and by the looks of things, she wasn't too keen on meeting them yet.

"Security going to be right down, we'll be fine." I said grabbing her hand and rubbing circles on her hand. She looked at me.

"Niall.... What if they see me? Actually, when they see me? What... What will they do?"

This was another thing I was afraid of. The fans could get pretty nasty when they see other girls with us, not all, but some. I wasn't going to cream coat it though, that wouldn't be good.

"Well, I'm not going to lie, some of them will get pretty upset. They may yell crude remarks at you, but don't listen to them, their just jealous. Not all of them are like that though. Some warm up faster than others and they'll love you." I said ending with the better news. That's what your supposed to do right? We sat in silence until there was a tap on the window, not by a fan.

As the security cleared a path for us to get in, we soon got out to head inside, the cool wind blowing, making the night seem cooler. I heard a lot of things thrown at me. Niall, have my babies, Niall, marry me, Niall, Niall, Niall, the usual, but it's what I heard said to Brook that made me stop.

"Who the fuck is that bitch?!"

"Go away whore, get away from my man!"

"OMG your so pretty!"

"Bitch, are you lost? The zoo is that way!"

"You are so lucky!"

"I spy with my little eye an ugly ass ho!"

As words got thrown at her bad and good, I knew that Brooklyn was only focussing on the bad, tears building up in her eyes as she quickly put her head down, hiding. She's only been with me for a few hours, and she's already getting hated on. I balled my fist, trying to hold in my anger but the next commit made me snap.

"Go kill yourself."

Those three words, nobody should ever say to anyone, not Brook, not anyone, that's when I snapped.

"Shut up!" I screamed, the crowd of girls going dead silent. "Just stop it, nobody likes your rude comments, especially not me, so either be nice to her, or go home and I never wanna see whoever said those rude things to her here again do you here me?" With that I grabbed brooks hand and marched inside the building with her. When we got inside the building, we were standing in the lobby, not making any attempt to move away from the glass doors. I turned to face her.

" You ok?" I asked, she just looked at the ground and didn't answer.

"Hey now." I lightly said, lifting her chin up so I have eye contact with her, "what some of them said out there was very rude and mean, I know, but none of it is true. You are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, and if they think saying all of that is going to make me leave you, then they are so wrong, because as long as I am with you, I will never leave you." I said, taking my free hand to wipe away the spare tears that broke free from her eyes. She gave me a small smile.

"Thank you Niall," she said. She was smiling, but you could still see some sadness in her eyes.

"Come here." I said, Putting my arms out as she ran into my arms for a hug, burying her head into my chest. We stayed like this for awhile, I lightly swayed back and forth on my feet, humming a random tune, and I kissed the top of her head, making sure all the fans could see it.
