The Anniversary... {A Niall Horan Story}

It’s been 1 year 11 months since I am in a relationship with Niall Horan. It was all a fairy tale for me. I remember the day we first met. I was with my sister that day we were going on shopping and I was about to close the main door when suddenly out of nowhere a guy ran into our house. We got a bit scared and then we saw thousands of girls were running in our direction. I got scared and ran inside too. And then I saw him, Niall Horan, looking inside of my Refrigerator for something to eat.

He looked at me and smiled and then he lived for 3 days at my place because the fans won’t go away.

He started hitting off initially. Then he asked me out on the 3rd day of his stay.

I am the shy one in the relationship but he is okay with it. I’ve met his parents and they are super amazing.

But now as I stood in his backyards at 6am in the morning, I’m not sure where all of this is heading.

I’ve been waiting from last 2 hours for him to show up as he won’t let me enter his house. When did this happen?

Finally at another half an hour of waiting he showed up. He was sweating. Why was he sweating at 6:30am? I have no idea. He came up to me and kissed my forehead.

“Hey Beautiful,” Niall said and hugged me.

“Where have you been?” I asked. I was upset. These last few days are not making sense to me at all.

“Well don’t be upset Aru. I was with the boys we are practicing for our Asia Tour. You know how hectic that can be? Last night we practiced for 4 hours straight.” he said and smiled and how can I not smile back. His smile is damn contagious.

“Well don’t be so serious come on lets go on a dinner tonight?” he said and took my hand. His skin still gave my body a sensation. I blushed a little.

“Niall where are you?” a girls voice came from behind.

“Out here.” Niall Shouted.

“Oh My God Niall Last night was so fun it-” then she broke off as soon as she saw me standing there.

“Oh hey Aru. You are here too?” she said and gave me an uncomfortable smile.

“Hi Demi.” I said and felt my stomach do all the flip-flop it knew.

“Well what happened last night?” I asked.

“Oh you know well we were just planning Liam’s Birthday.” She said and smiled again.

“But Liam’s birthday is in August. And this is June.” I was confused. Demi was sacred.

“Ah yeah well… I’m getting late. I have this… you know… work… meet someone… I’ll… ah… catch you soon Aru. Bye.” And she left.

“What was that all about?” I asked.

“Nothing you know. She was with us the whole time helping in preparing the songs.” Niall tried to explain just then Harry comes up.

“Hey guys how are ya?” he said and winked at Niall.

“What happened last night?” I asked straightaway.

“What nothing we were practising the whole time. You should be proud of your boyfriend. He is a real getter.” Harry said and punched Niall’s shoulder.

“And was Demi with you?” I tried to be as polite as I can.

“No why would she-” just then he saw Niall’s expression and changed his statement. “Yeah she was. Kinda.”

But the truth has been told. Niall gave Harry a look and he left us in the backyard alone.

“Niall I don’t need another explanation. I just need to know the truth. And I think you are not ready to tell me what happened. Is this, is us working out anymore? Don’t get me wrong but I’m still crazy for you as I have always been but… I don’t know what is happening anymore.” I tried to hold back my tears. My lips started trembling. And before I knew it I was ready for the thing I was about to say.

On the other hand Niall stood like a statue. He wasn’t sure what was going on. We have never talked about it. We have talked about the future about how we are gonna get married one day and how we are going to have two kids. We have decided there names too. BUT

“Niall I had a wonderful time with you these past 2 years have been amazing for me but… well just call me when you are ready to tell the truth.” With the little strength I had I kissed him on the cheek and left. I cried the whole way home.

Tomorrow is our 2 year anniversary.

I lay on bed the whole time and when the clock strikes 12 my phone ranged. It was Niall. He had called 25 times since I left. But I wasn’t ready to talk to him. I shut my phone and tried to sleep but how was I going to sleep when Niall and I are not talking anymore and we might not talk again.

Though it was evening but I was still in my pajamas eating ice-creams and chocolates. The doorbell ranged. And I prayed it wasn’t any of the boys who had already shown up 4 times to convince me to meet Niall. But to my surprise it was Demi.

“Hey can I get in?” she said and I let her in.

“Look Aru it has been a disastrous misunderstanding with you. There is nothing going on with me and Niall. We are just good friend. Haven’t you seen the way he looks at you? I wish I had someone as special as him. When he is not with you he talks about you all the time. He loves you and only you. You are special. Don’t let anyone come between you.” She said and I was too numb to say anything. I just listened.

She got me dressed. She wanted to take me to a concert of one of her close friends. She picked my dress and took care of everything.

We left my house and when we were in her car I got lost in my world. I started thinking about how we met and he asked me out. About our first kiss. Our first movie together. Our first candle light dinner and how messily we ate the spaghetti. This brings the smile on my face. And then the car stopped and we got out. I just realised we were in front of Niall’s house and then I looked at my dress it was all formal.

“What are we doing here.” My heart was beating so hard I thought it might come out.

“Don’t worry he is not home he is at his parents he was really upset with what happened yesterday. And all the other boys are with their dates. I just left my concert tickets here so can you come with me. Please Aru.” I couldn’t say no to het she had been a real friend throughout the evening.

We stepped inside the house and it was really dark. Then I heard someone singing “From the moment I met you everything changed. I knew I have to get you, whatever the pain

I had to take you and make you mine.” Then the light we on and I saw Niall singing. Tears started forming in my eyes. He is an angel. He is my angel. I saw the boys standing in a line and all of them opened their jackets one by one and on their t-shirts it was written “Will you marry me?” and when Niall opened he get down on one knee and my name was written on his chest.

I was speechless and my knees got weak and before I knew it I was on my knees and the boys laughed a little bit. Tears started streaming down my face. All I could do was nod my head over and over again. He took and hand and slipped the ring into my finger then he took my hand and kept it on his Heart. “Can you feel my heartbeat?” he asked and I nodded it was beating at the speed of light but not faster than mine.

“Always remember it beats for you love.” He said and smiled again.

“I love you Aru.” He said and wiped my tears.

“I love you Niall” and then we kissed and i realised how complete i felt with him.

He is my fairytale and I won’t let anyone come between us. EVER…
