Hailey's POV

It had been half a week since I'd spoken to any of the boys. I started hanging out with some people I used to be friends with. The main person I bonded with was Kat. We had always known each other, but didn't talk much. She invited me over one night.

" So, what was it like dating Niall? " she asked as we sat on her bed. Her room was covered in One Direction posters.

" Truthfully amazing.. I regret loosing him, " I sigh as I remember how things used to be. " Not a moment goes by that I don't wonder what he's doing. "

" Do you still have his number? " she speaks softly.

" Well, yeah. " She takes my phone of its resting spot and hands me it.

" Text him, " she smiles.

Niall's POV

This was the fourth day without Hailey. The guys kept trying to cheer me up, but nothing worked. I heard my phone ding and jumped to check it, in hopes that Hailey had texted me.

" Niall. You better reply. I'm sick of you acting like we have no connection. Date me, or else. -Lexi "

This was about the tenth time she texted me a threat. My doorbell rang and I walked to it. I looked out the window and saw Lexi holding a gun. I immoderately called 911 and let them listen to the conversation.

" LET ME IN NIALL. Either date me or die! If I can't have you, no one can! "

" LEXI! How many times to I have to say no?! " I yelled. After a minute or two I heard police sirens.

" You son of a, " she paused being interrupted.

" DROP THE WEAPON AND PUT YOUR HANDS UP! " an officer screamed. I opened the door after they had her handcuffed. One officer walked up to me.

" Anything you need to tell us, sir? " the officer politely asked.

" Well. This started about a week and a half ago. Now she's been threatening me. Not just any threats, I've gotten quite a few death threats, like date me or die, " I say before showing him the messages.

" Can I take your phone for evidence? "

" Sure, " I say handing him the phone before he walks off and Lexi is taken to the station.

Hailey's POV

" Text him! " Kat says eagerly.

" Ok, " I mutter before taking the phone.

" Hey Niall, it's me. Hailey. I know there's a major chance you still hate me, but I want you to know I love you. A lot. I miss you so much. I don't know why I had to let him kiss me. He doesn't mean a thing to me. But... You do. You mean the entire world to me. Just, please forgive me, if you can. And if not, I understand. I love you. -Hailey. " I type before sending the message.

" Read it out loud, " Kat says smiling. I read it, and halfway through start crying. " Hailey, " she speaks softly.

" He doesn't care anymore... I'm not good e-e-enough! " I stutter.

" Hailey. I've been waiting to tell you this, I have front row tickets to there concert tomorrow. That's why I invited you over. Please come with me, " she whimpers softly.

" KAT! Seriously?! Of course I'll go with you! " I yell excitedly. In my head I can't help but imagine him seeing me and saying he got the message. We look at the time and see that it's almost four am.

" Well, let's go to sleep, long ride to Florida tomorrow, " Kat yawns. We go to sleep after setting an alarm. My heart keeps pounding imagining seeing him face to face again.

Niall's POV

It was late and I knew Hailey was probably asleep, but I still go get Liam's phone. I begin texting her.

" Goodmorning beautiful. The boys and I miss you, a ton. Niall misses you too, I bet, anyways see you soon I hope. -Liam "

I lied saying it was Liam, just in case she doesn't feel the same anymore. I sigh and lay Liam's phone on the table by his bed and go back to my room.

Hailey's POV

" HAILEY! Get up! " Kat says shaking me. I hop up and get dressed, knowing we have a longtime till Florida. We pack a small bag and run to the car. I do my makeup on the way there. We go inside to our seats. I check my phone for the first time today. I see a text from Liam and reply.

" HEY! Guess what! I'm at the concert! Can not wait to see y'all! Love, Hailey"

Niall's POV

" Liam you're phone just dinged, " Harry says while getting ready.

" I got it mate, " I say as I pick up his phone. I read the text. " SHE'S HERE! " I scream.

" Who? " they all ask.

" Hailey, " I smile. We go out to start the concert. Liam whispers in my ear that we are about to bring one girl a piece on stage. We finish singing, and Harry find a girl. I look around for Hailey. That's when I spot her. I point her out and Liam and I walk over there. I grab her hand, and Liam gets her bestfriend.

Hailey's POV

I can't believe it. Niall brought me on stage before they start singing More Than This. Niall's part comes up, and he turns from the crowd and looks at me.

" If I'm louder, would you see me? Would you lay down, in my arms and rescue me? " he sing before stopping.

" Guys, stop. I have something to do, " he says. Liam walks behind me and covers my eyes.

" What the heck? " I mutter. Liam whispers in my ear.

" You look gorgeous, dear. We've missed you. " He uncovers my eyes and I don't see Niall. Then I look down and see him on one knee.

" Hailey, princess, I know we've had our fair share of problems, but, will you marry me? "
