The Irish Lad: A One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter 21

Niall's POV

It was amazing how quickly the week was going by. Before we knew it, it was already Thursday, and Katie would be returning to Mullingar on Saturday. I looked over to her. She was wearing her favorite skinny jeans, a Jack Wills floral button up and white Converse. She was talking to Josh and Liam, and we were all in the hallway of our hotel. 

I had some special surprises planned for her. We had to go on a talk show tonight, but our entire day was free, and we were all going on the Maid of the Mist. Tomorrow morning, I wanted to take her out for breakfast before the boys and I had soundcheck for our final show in Canada tomorrow night. 

I could not believe this is the last ime on the Up All Night tour that we would be together. Of course, in two weeks, I was coming home to Mullingar with Zayn. We were going to hang out with them and help them move into their dorms at the University of the City of Dublin. Then, we would be traveling back to the states for the last month of our tour. 

Although, when I was finally off of tour, then I was stuck back in London finishing up the next album, and Katie was in Dublin for school. She had a week off in November, but no long periods of time off until Christmas holiday. I think it was starting to hit me just how far apart we would be. It was starting to hit me the realities of the dreams the two of us had chosen. I wanted to travel the world, work with amazing artists, and have an amazing album. Katie wanted to travel the world, go to college, and live her life.

No matter how much I tried to deny it, Katie had dreams. I loved that about her. I never wanted her to give up those dreams, but what I wanted to deny was the fact that her dreams kept her away from me. If she was not going to college, sure, she would be with me in London, but she was going to college. She was so intelligent. I always felt like I was trying to keep up with her, and that was the perfect use of my time. Katie was going places. She could have gotten famous without being my girlfriend. People love her, and her eyes and smile light up a room. 

I heard her laugh and a smile broke across my face. Her laugh made me so happy. I was never one to believe in the fact that there was always one person out there for me: the perfect girl for me, a soulmate, essentially. Hell, was I wrong. This girl had me wrapped around her finger, but I had absolutely no problem with it. She was the center of my world, and my whole heart belonged to her. I loved her so much. She then snapped me out of my dream world by wrapping her arms around me.

"Come on! Niagra Falls time!" She giggled.

"Alright." I laughed and kissed her cheek. "Let's go." I got up and grabbed her hand. We went downstairs and got into a waiting van. On the way to the Falls, Katie stared out the window, perching her head on her bent elbow. She smiled, looking around Canada, and stealing little glances at me.

"Seriously, you guys have the best job ever." Katie said.

"Yea, great job." Louis said. "Traveling away from my family, missing my girlfriend, who gets hated on constantly for no apparent reason. Being chased wherever we go and not being able to walk down the street without taking a few pictures. Yea, great job." I sighed and put my fce in my hands. This would definitely piss Katie off. Louis had been feeling very homesick lately, and he really missed his sisters. He was also getting extremely angry  with all the hate towards Eleanor, as we all were angry with the hate towards the gils, but El kept getting hate for being a beard which is so much worse. Katie knew all of this, and this would be her chance to tell him off about it.

I sat back up to see Katie giving Lou the most annoyed, angry look. "You ungrateful piece of shit." She said, and Louis snapped up. "Yes, you get to travel the world with your four best friends and meet the most amazing people in the world and perfrom to sold out arenas. I'm sorry you have fans. Maybe you should have thought this through a little better before you tried out for X-Factor. Yes, some people don't like Eleanor, but lots of fans love her to pieces. Her family and her friends and all the boys love her, and those are the people who matter. Don't think for  a second that Dani, El, Leena and I don't get the arse-end as well. We let you take pictures with fans without complaint, and we see all the hate on our instagrams and out Twitter. Last night, some girl told me I was stupid. She doesn't even know me. Yes, you have an absolutely amazing job, Louis,  and your opportunities far outnumber the average. If you have a problem with it, then why don't you stay back at the hotel?"
