The next morning I woke up at 5am due to jet lag. I stretched out on my bed and rubbed my eyes. Light was already peeking through the deep red curtains in our hotel room. When my eyes finally focused in on my surroundings I saw Niall, completely dressed, sitting on the end of the bed.

"Good you're up, go get showered," he instructed.

"Why?" I whined.

"Because I'm taking you somewhere."

"Where are we going at 5 in the morning?" I asked groggily.

"Just go," he tried to hold back a smile as he demanded me to shower.

I stared back at him for a few seconds before finally giving in and throwing the covers off my body. I quickly showered and got ready for the day.

"Let's go," Niall motioned towards the door.

"Okay," I grabbed my phone, "just let me quickly text Louis and my mum-"

I looked up at Niall who was giving me a look of disapproval. Then a caring smile crossed his face.

"They'll be fine. You have no reason to be worried Harry," he took my phone from my hand and threw it on to the hotel bed.

I nodded trying to convince myself that they didn't need me to check up on them. Although I wasn't fully convinced, I followed Niall out the door.

We sat in the car for over and hour due to the fact that traffic in LA is terrible. Like always, Niall refused to tell me where we were going but I continued to ask him anyways. I opened the window, letting the fresh warmth of air engulf me. I gazed out the windows and read the street signs.

South Walnut Street.

Magic Way.

Disneyland Drive.

Just as I read the last sign, Niall turned into a parking lot and we passed a large sign. "Disneyland, the Happiest Place on Earth".

"Niall. Why are you taking me to Disneyland?" I asked, puzzled as Niall parked in the nearly empty car lot.

"You've had so much going on in your life. You've had to be so responsible and you've been so stressed out. I just thought you should take some time to forget your problems and," he shrugged, "I don't know, be a kid."

I smiled and leaned over to kiss him even though the gear shift jabbed me
in the hip. My kiss got him by surprise and it took him a few seconds to react and kiss me back.

"Thank you so, so much. I love you Niall Horan," I smiled.

We hopped out of the rental car and walked towards the gates where we bought our tickets. After Niall gratuitously payed for our tickets, we walked towards the closed gate for the park.

"It doesn't open for another hour," Niall casually stated.

"Then why did we leave so early?" I nagged. I know I was awake at 5 but it didn't mean I was ready to get out of bed.

"We'll be the first ones in," Niall sat down on the paved ground infront of the gates.

I sat down and joined him, sitting cross legged and leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Niall?"

"Yeah?"

"Why do you consider my birthday the day we started dating?" I asked.

"Because it was our first kiss," Niall easily immidiately answered my question.

"But what about," I paused, "everything after?"

"It was just a little bump in the road," Niall brushed it off.

I was overjoyed that Niall managed to forgive me to the point he pretended to forget the whole thing happened but it didn't seem right. Based on his reaction and how hard it was for him to forgive me I never thought he'd forget the whole thing entirely.

"What's on your mind?" Niall broke the silence.

"How you-"

"How I consider it just a little bump?" Niall brushed his fingers under my jaw so I'd lift my head off his shoulder. Once I sat up fully, he locked his eyes with mine.

"After Josh hurt me, he never apologized once. He never felt even the smallest amount of guilt. You went through everything trying to get me to forgive you. And that's how I know you care. No one's ever cared for me like you do Harry. And I love you with everything I have. And for that reason, I can look past all our history."

"I love you," I whispered, grabbing his hands to hold them in mine.

A grin covered his face. "I love you too."

We sat in a comfortable silence, gazing into eachother's eyes until Niall broke it.

"Why did your exboyfriend stab me?"

He exhaled a small laugh, trying to make light of the subject. He just didn't know how serious it really was.

"Uh, remember when I told you not to tell Ed that Zayn cheated on him?" I began nervously.
Niall's eyebrows knit together in confusion but he nodded.

"It was because I knew that would happen if you broke them up."

Niall opened his mouth to talk but I stopped him.

"And I know I should have told you because then you wouldn't have done it but... I don't know I guess I didn't want to worry you or something."

"How did you know it would happen?" Niall asked, growing more concerned.

I sighed, trying to keep calm as I told this story again.

"Because...one time I tried to break up with him," my eyes flickered down so I was no longer staring into Niall's eyes, "but he pulled out a knife and threatened to kill me and whoever I was leaving him for because they broke us up," I whispered.

"Oh Harry," Niall said sympathetically.

I finally looked back up at him and he pulled me into a hug which was more like pulling me over into his lap.

I lightly chuckled as Niall cradled me in his arms.

"I got a sick scar though," he irrupted into a loud laugh like always.

I couldn't help but let out a small giggle myself.

"And the bastard's finally in jail," I added.

As we sat on the pavement, more people began to come and line up behind us. Eventually, the hour passed and the gates began to open. Niall did a little excited dance before we gave the people at the gates our tickets and walked into the park.
