All the lucky Millions: A Niall Horan Love Story

Chapter Three

Chapter 3: New News and over 10 Million Hits

Abby's POV

My eyes fluttered open to see my YouTube profile page opened on my computer, with a sticky-note at the corner of my screen. Apparently, I had fallen asleep on my desk.

"Thank you for uploading another video! Would you like to broadcast this video to your Facebook or Twitter friends?"

I clicked the red 'X' in the corner of the promotion window, then I peeled the hot pink sticky-note off my computer screen. Madi's handwriting was written across it- "Be back in a few minutes. Left @ 8 to go get coffee and donuts from Archie's downtown to celebrate! There's another note on your back-" Confused, I reached my hand back to my right shoulder blade, and sure enough, another pink note was stuck there in the same handwriting. "Tried to load the video again to see the # of views, but your Internets down. BRB Love, Madi" I smiled at the familiar heart above her 'I'.

I clicked the refreshed button on the YouTube page. The screen remained motionless.

"Hmm..." I slid back down in my chair at my desk and studied the screen. Eventually giving up, I shut down my whole system and went to my closet. I took a glimpse at the clock sitting by my bed.

8:34

We stayed up all night working on that video, editing, sound revising, and all that other good stuff. Madison had already fallen asleep in the process, missing her chance to hit the 'Upload' button like she wanted.

I shifted awkwardly out of my blue plaid PJ bottoms, and black tank, and then threw them on my bed. I scanned my closet. In the middle of September, if you lived in Brooklyn, it was really cold, so, embracing the light air, I grabbed an over-sized blue collage sweater that use to belong to my dad. The dark blue sleeves hung over my fingertips, and slid off my shoulder, so I had to keep pushing them up off my hands. After that, I pulled on my favorite pair of skinny jeans with the rips at the knees.

I dragged my feet to the bathroom, washed my face, brushed my teeth with my State-Of-The-Art Light up tooth brush, and brushed the tangles out of my hair and pulled it into a messy bun at the top of my head. For a more girlie touch, I pinned a small, black ribbon on top of the mess. "Hey, Niall..." I said into the mirror seductively, trying my hardest not to laugh at myself. "Oh, you saw my video, huh? Hmm.. and now you want to marry me because we're perfect for each other. I see.. Well-"

Suddenly, the front door in the living room swung open rapidly, and within seconds Madison was in my room.

"ABBY! ABBY WHERES THE COMPUTER?!!"

"Madi! Calm down! What's the matter? Why do you need to see the computer?"

She shoved my Blueberry muffin donut into my open mouth and a coffee into my hand.

"Oh, it's not ME who needs to see it. Pull up YouTube, did you get the Internet to work?"

I walked over to my desk and pressed the power button on the monitor, taking bites from my delicious donut. "I've had it turned off for a while, it should be fine by now. Why? You still haven't told me what you're so excited about." I said in between chews.

"Scoot! Scoot!" She shooed me out of my chair as she frantically typed into my computer, nearly knocking the donut out of my hand and mouth. She clicked on the Internet Explorer icon at the bottom of the screen, she let out a silent but frantic, ''Yes!" when the homepage popped up.

"Oh my god, Abby.. I was listening to the radio this morning going to Archie's-" She talked as she typed away to the Radio station's website that she always listened to "...and after they played 'One Thing', Cheryl came on, you know the talk show host? And, well read this!"

I looked at the brightly colored page with a 'New: Overnight Teen Internet sensation' title over something about a girl... My heart stopped.

'Well, getting in touch with today's most popular trends, we took a look at the popular Website 'YouTube this morning to look at some of the trending videos. It seems that we've got a pretty popular overnight sensation One Direction fan out there folks! I'd be surprised if you haven't seen this video yet! Directioners EVERYWHERE are posting this video to Facebook and Twitter. It's already gotten over Ten Million views! The supposed story behind the video is about a 16 year old girl named Abby Criswell...'

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Me and Madi both screamed in unison as we read it together.

"OH MY GOD MADI!" "Shhh! Keep reading!"

'...who states in her video "So, I lost a bet, and now I have to make a video explaining why, me and my friend Madison here, think I'm the perfect girl for you!" The video is directed to the famous One Direction member, Niall Horan. If you haven't seen this video yet, Niall, well here you go!'

Madison clicked the link to our video under the story. It played it automatically. Within seconds, my face was on the page of a Radio Station's website, and there I was, talking about how I was the perfect girl for Niall Horan.

The video must have gone on forever. I watched myself on the screen, and remained silent after it was over. I took a deep breath and took over the keyboard, typing 'www.youtube.com/abby.and.madi5675443' in the URL address bar. Our profile popped up with our latest video, right in the middle of the page. I looked down to the bottom left under the video's window, and there it was.

Me and Madi looked at the numbers motionless. She scrolled the mouse up to the 'Refresh Page' button.

"Oh my god..." I breathed finally, my mouth still hanging open in shock. "You.. are.. SO FAMOUS!" Madi squealed and jumped up and down frantically, then she took both my hands and made me jump up and down on my unmade bed with her.

"I- I can't beli-" I stopped jumping. I stopped smiling. I stopped breathing. I froze.

"Hahaha, you ok, Abbsters?" Madi gushed.

"Madi... this means.. that maybe.. possibly.."

"Niall's seen it?" Her eyes widened and her smile expanded. "Go. Get. Dressed. NOW. We're going for a walk."
