Ella for all intents and purposes to the side

Italy is the place Niall plans on doing it. When he tells the boys during sound check when Ella isn't around, they all think that he's not planning everything out clearly. However it doesn't stop them all from tackling him to the floor in one big group hug. They end early and ask security to help them sneak into a shop without being noticed.

Of course being who he is, he can't just walk into a jewelry shop like De Beers inconspicuously. And so he carefully enlists the help of Zayn who's done it before-getting the ring he means. Zayn goes on and on about how since he's helping Niall with this poorly though out plan, that he should be the one to stand on Niall's left side at the alter. To this Niall simply lets out a laugh and punches Zayn's arm calling management to inform them of his soon to be engagement.

Just like they were with Zayn, management try to convince Niall to slow down his relationship but ultimately give in because lets face it, the five boys of One Direction are the word spontaneous in a nutshell.

And so on June 30th, nine days after they left Paris, Niall has a person of management flown out to De Beers where with strict instructions they buy the ring for Niall.

It's their off day and Niall is looking at dates, trying to work out a time that he can pop the questions so to say. But that's just it, he doesn't exactly know how to ask Ella. He knows that he really doesn't want to make a large spectacle about it, but then again he can't just blow this off either because he has a feeling if he does Ella will give him shit for the rest of their life.

He finds he has time in between the end of the European and the start of the North American leg of the tour, and so he plans it for then. But he also has to fly back to California where he's got a doctors appointment so they can check up on his condition.

He's almost forgotten he's told the world about him having Parkinson's disease. It seems like a distant memory, but in reality, he is happy that it's not been ostracized as much as he feared it would. He feared the world would be tearing him apart right now, but as they see that it hasn't effected his career at all, they've toned it down from all the bashing at the beginning.

And Niall thinks back to those articles as well. The ones that pointed out the bad side of his disease as he prayed no one would. He remembers the one he read that really got to him, it was filled with comments from 'fans' on what they thought about the recent discovery.

This just in! One Direction's Niall Horan recently announced to the world that he in fact is living with a disease called Young Onset Parkinson's. What does the future hold now for this dazzling super star? We asked some of the fans what they thought of the big news!

@El1dfan: It's honestly a shame he has this disease. I hate calling it that as well. Disease makes him seem sick, which in reality i guess he is, but his confession has made me think differently towards the band as a whole now.

@Charliexoxo: How could you lie to fans for over two years and not feel guilty about it? Made me loose a lot of respect if im being quite honest.

And as Niall read the list went on and on. He'd be lying if he didn't cry that day. Ella of course burnt the place to the grounds the seconds the article was out in the public. She'd yelled incoherently something along the lines of stupid fucking wanker should watch his back, as she threw a fit at the Magazine press. Niall of course was the one to carry her out kicking and screaming.

After that however, Niall threw himself into charity research, looking to see if there were any ways he could possibly help people going through the same things as him. Fortunately he finds one called the Davis Phinney Foundations. It's main base is somewhere in Boulder, Colorado (a/n home of the rockiessss -niall horan tmht denver) and he's got some free time as they travel during the end of August and the beginning of September to visit.

Ella comes barging into his bunk then, pulling open the curtain and slamming her body down into his giggling a little.

"Woah there." He huffs out, pulling her warm body into his already warm one.

"Fancy a cuddle then?" Ella says offering some of the food she's got in her hand. Niall takes a bite of it and nods.

"Always up for a cuddle."

"Can you two please keep the sweet talk to a minimum some of us can't have our girlfriends on tour with us because we somehow managed to get them on the fucking PR team!" Louis yells from the living room.

Niall lets out a large laugh and so does Ella.

Ella peeks her head out of her bunk and can see Louis on the couch frowning at his phone as he sticks his tongue out of the corner of his lips. She looks at Niall and he nods, seemingly knowing what exactly Ella is going to do next.

Ella throws the remaining part of her banana at Louis, the peel falling on top of his head perfectly.

It's almost in slow motion as Louis looks up from his phone to the banana on top of his head before he pushes it off quickly and pats down his already messy hair. Ella closes the curtain softly making sure she doesn't make any noise. Of course she knows Louis will know it's her who threw the fruit, but she can at least hope the tiny covering the bunk has and Niall behind her can hide her from a raging Louis.

It's a little while before she hears a grunt and footstep. The curtain flies open and Louis stands in front of the bunk seething

"Listen here Ellaine Mae Compton, I don't appreciate being hit with fruit. Especially bananas." Louis says. Ella knows he's not mad at her, and she also knows he used her full name just to piss her off.

"Bananas are good though." Harry says from somewhere in the bus sending Ella and Niall into a fit of laughter. Louis groans and walks away yelling back at Harry.

"Of course you think that Harry, you basically fucking worship the damn fruit!"
