Never Leave My Side (A Niall Horan Story)

Never Leave My Side (Chapter Thirty-Four)

*Niall's POV* 

I took a deep breath and put on my best smile when the door opened. “Ready, Ni?" Zayn asked again before stepping out of the car. 

I took one more deep breath as I stepped out into the crowd. 

“Niall!"

“Can I have a picture?"

“Will you sign this?" 

“Niall!!! Please!!"

Things were shouted from every direction. 

I shook my head as some demanded, or pleaded, that I break up with Sapphire for them.

I looked up to smile at a girl who told them to shut up. “Tell her I think she's beautiful!" The girl yelled. 

I had to stop walking and look at her. “But you don't even know her." I couldn't help but smile. 

The girl shrugged. “Does she make you happy?" She asked.

I nodded as my smile got bigger. “Yeah. Really happy." I said, feeling my cheeks heat up. 

The girl shrugged. “That's all that really matters to me."

I said a quick “thank you" as Liam walked towards me and threw his arm around my shoulder. “Let's get inside, yeah?"

I nodded and sent the girl one last wave as we walked to the entrance with the other boys. “What was all that about back there?" Louis asks as we step onto the lift. 

I shrugged. “Just someone who asked me to tell Sapphire they said she was beautiful." I smiled again. 

“Come on, lads. Get in this." Liam said holding his phone out in front of him. All of us bunched together in the lift. “Thanks." Liam smiled after snapping the picture. “Oh, this is a great one. Our faces are gold." 

Everyone laughed as the lift came to a stop. I followed behind Zayn to our shared room. “See you guys later. I'm going to catch up on some sleep." Zayn said, unlocking our door. 

“Sweet dreams." Harry laughed as he walked down the hall with Liam and Louis. 

I reached around and grabbed the room key from Zayn. “I'll stay out here and call Sapphire so you can sleep." 

“You sure?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at me. 

“Yeah. I don't want yo keep you up." I smiled as I pulled my phone from my pocket. “Have a good sleep." I said quietly as he walked into the room and shut our door. 

I dialled Sapphire's number and put the phone to my ear. 

“Hello, love!!" I heard my mother's voice.

I pulled the phone away from my ear and looked at the screen, making sure I dialled the right number. “Mum?" I asked when I saw I HAD called Sapphire. 

“Hello, darling. How are you?" She asked cheerfully. 

Okay? “Uh... Good?" 

“Are you alright?" She asked. 

“Um... I think something is wrong with my phone. " I said quietly. I paced back and forth in the hall way. “I meant to call Sapph-"

“Oh, you did. She's right here." She said happily. 

I looked at my phone again. “Is she there? At our house?" I asked. 

“No." Mum chuckled. “We came out to visit Jake." She explained. “But I'll let you talk to Sapphire now."
