The Irish Lad: A One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter 3

Katie's POV

I woke up late the next morning, maybe around ten am. I went downstairs and got a bagel, smearing it with nutella, and a water bottle. I sat down on the couch and turned on the celebrity news channel. The host came on to the television after the commercials finished.

"Well, girls, looks like one more member of One Direction is taken. Yesterday, Niall instagrammed a photo of a girl at a feis, saying how she had just placed and giving her a shoutout." I almost choked as the picture of me in my sashes came onto the screen. "It doesn't stop there. They were also seen at a playground local to their neighborhood, and were caught kissing on top of the jungle gym. Wait to keep it G-rated at the playground,guys." My eyes went wide as I paused the TV on a shot of Niall and I kissing at the park. I picked up my phone.

"NIALL GET OVER HERE!" I screamed into the phone before hanging up. A minute later, there was a knock at the door. I opened it and Niall walked in.

"Katie? What's going on? What's wrong?" I motioned to the paused image on the TV. "Oh god. Katie. I'm so sorry."

"Did you tell anyone?"

"No, someone must've followed us to the park. Oh my god. I didn't want this to happen."

I picked up my phone and looked at my twitter. My followers had tripled. I looked at my instagram, and I had gone from 45 followers to 3k. I had been mentioned several times in photos, relating to me and Niall.

"I don't want a lot of rumours circulating." I said finally.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I saw what some of the other girls went through! I don't want to be fighting this for the next week, having to go through all the rumours. It'll drive me crazy."

"So, you want to tell everyone?"

"You don't?"

"No, I really want to tell the world you're mine,it's just I don't want people to send you hate."

"Niall, I'll shoot it down. I can handle it, as long as you're with me."

"Alright. Simulataneous tweets?" I nodded and we  both sent out tweets.

NiallOfficial: Guys the rumours are true! @katieoneill is my girlfriend!

katieoneill: Yea, @NiallOfficial is my boyfriend everyone! I know a lot of people wanted him, but don't send hate please! I'd love to really interact with you guys, but we can't do that if there's hate.

"Alright. Instagram." Niall took a picture of the two of us, and so did I, and we both mentioned eachother.

It was after we had sat down and I had finished breakfast, and given Niall food as well, that I realized I looked terrible.

"Niall, sorry, I'm going to change and then we can spend the day together, if you like."

"Sure, sounds great."

Niall's POV

Shortly after Katie had gone upstairs, my phone rang. It was Liam.

"Hey, mate, what's going on?" I said.

"What's going? You've got a girl?" He asked.

"Yea, and she's absolutely amazin', lad."

"Where'd you meet her?"

"My dad brought me to her house for her parents' party, and we just ended up hanging out. I went with her to a dance competition yesterday, and it all just fell into place."
