Hailey's POV

After a fifteen minute drive, we arrive at the interview. Fans are everywhere. Niall helps me out of the limo. Some people gasp when they see the blood mark still on my face.

" DID YOU BEAT HER? " one news reporter questions. I keep walking along with the others, but Niall stops.

" What? " he asks.

" Niall Horan, did you beat her? " the lady asks seriously.

" Why would you think that? " I ask as I walk back to Niall.

" Reports say he beat his last girlfriend, " she says. The camera was facing us while they recorded.

" That's a lie, " Niall calmly says.

" He'd never do such a thing. We were playing in the pool and I ran inside and slid. It's not his fault, " I say directly to the reporter. " Let's go babe, " I say kissing Niall's cheek. We walk into the dressing rooms for the boys to get prepared. I look up at Niall to see a tear roll down his face. I close the door behind us and wrap my arms tightly around him.

" Princess? " he speaks quietly.

" Mhmm? "

" You know I'd never do anything to hurt you, right? "

" Niall... They just want to make you look like you're the bad guy. I know it's a lie. " I hold his hand as the producer knocks on the door.

" Showtime, " he says before walking off. Niall and I walk on stage and sit in between Lexi and Harry on the long couch.

" 3,2,1, " a cameraman says.

" Welcome to the show, today we are interviewing the boy band One Direction. So, for starters, who are these two girls? " she asked looking at Lexi and I.

" This one, right here, " Niall said pulling me close to him on the couch, " is my princess. That one, is her long lost friend. " He kisses my forehead.

" Ahh, I see, " she smiles. After a few questions, I just kind of zone out. " What is the last tragedy to happen to any of you? "

" Her, " Harry points to me.

" Huh? " I mumble. Niall chuckles lightly.

" What happened? " she questions.

" Well, you see Hailey and I were swimming. Then we were just playing and I said ' you better run, ' jokingly. She ran inside and slid on the tile in the kitchen and hit her head, right here, " he turns my head and shows the mark. " She was unconscious and the doctor said he's surprised memory loss didn't occur, " he pauses, " she's my miracle, " he smiles before kissing me.

" Well that's all for the interview. Bye, " the interviewer smiles into the camera. Niall stands up and turns to look at me.

" I love you princess. Thanks for always being here for me, " he smiles as he helps me up. I tiptoe and kiss him passionately. A few members of the audience hung around.

" Hailey! It's me, the girl from twitter. Did you read my DM? " a tallish teenage girl asks.

" Ashton? " I ask to make sure.

" YOU READ IT?! " she began to smile to big.

" Yeah, and Niall did too, " I walk off the stage to meet her. " Thank you, a ton. I love knowing we have supporters. " I smile as she starts to freak out after I hug her. " You ok? "

" I'm just so happy to meet you! You're my inspiration! Ahhhh! " she squeals. " Can I have your autograph? "

" Who? Mine? " I look at her confused.

" Well, yeah, you're my role model! " She hands me a little poster. I open it before signing it, and see the picture of Niall and I on the interview we announced our relationship. I smile as I sign my name. I see Ashton grinning right before a pair of arms wrap around me and the owners lips find my neck.

" You're the most beautiful girl in the world.. Thanks for being my princess, " Niall speaks softly into my ear.

" Oh my gosh, can I take a picture of y'all? " Ashton says pulling out a camera.

" Sure, if it's ok with Niall, " I smile.

" Mhmm, " he mumbles kissing me. She takes on of him with his arms wrapped around me. Then he spins me around and kisses me, she take a picture of it.

" Niall, can you take a picture of Hailey and I? " she questions.

" Sure, " we both say in unison. I take the picture with her, and she gives me her phone number before walking off.

" What now, prince? " I say sweetly kissing Niall's cheek.

" We go to our palace, " he jokes. We catch a cab back to our condo. I Wish is playing. I start to sing along, " Cause I've got three little words that I've always been dying to tell you.. "

" Hailey? "

" Yeah? "

" How come you never sing? You sound amazing, " Niall looks astonished.

" I'm always scared someone will tell me I suck, " I mutter.

" They'd have to be deaf, " he smiles before kissing me. We get out of the taxi and run inside. I open the door to a surprise party.

" What the f- " I stop myself.

" SURPRISE! You thought you could fool us? We know your secret!! " Louis screams.

" Huh? "

" Welcome to our family, " management says. " That promise ring, shows just how much Niall cares, so you're an official member of the One Direction family. "

" Oh.. Thanks? " I smile.

" POOL PARTY! " Harry yells running out and jumping in the pool.

" Don't get too stupid, " management says before leaving. Niall goes to our room and I follow. I walk in on him halfway in his swim shorts.

" WOAH! My bad! " I yell covering my eyes.

" Baby, it's ok, " he says. I look up and he's in his swimming trunks. He hands me a brand new swimsuit. He turns around and closes his eyes. I laugh and put the swimsuit on.

" I can't tie it, " I sigh. He turns back around and tightens the strap behind my neck. He kisses my neck and spins me around.

" I love you, " he says kissing me. He picks me up and carries me out the the pool. I hold on tighter to him. We walk to the edge of the pool.

" Ready? "

" No! " I squeal. He puts me down and holds my hand.

" Together? " he smiles.

" Forever, " I say before kissing him and jumping into the water.
