Even If It Kills Me (One Direction and The Vamps Fan Fiction)

Chapter 16

Katie's POV

Cat wasn't in our room when I woke up, and Emma was still sleeping. I looked at the clock and realized it was only 5:00am, I changed into sweat pants and a hoodie. I grabbed my room key and phone before leaving silently to not wake Emma.

As I walk past Niall's room, I freeze.

He doesn't like Emma, and Emma doesn't like him, I had to remind myself. I took a deep breath and continued walking.

I walked to the lobby and as I exit, I can see the sun is peeking out from the buildings in the background. I frown, knowing this is our last day in New York before traveling to Florida.

Our bus arrives at the hotel at 3:00 in the afternoon and it's only 5:30, so I decide to walk quickly to the park. I yawn a few times on the way, realizing how tired I am. Last night had been crazy with Cat in and out, and the drama with Emma.

When I reach the park, I sit down under the nearest tree I can find. There's a familiar blonde boy under the tree already.

"Niall?" I ask.

"Katie! Hey, I'm glad you're here, sit down." Niall pats the ground next to him.

I plop myself down beside him. "What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I was up, and I like it here. I have good memories here, with you." Niall smiles shyly.

We look into each other's eyes, his crystal blue eyes staring into my dark brown.

I smile back at him. He leans in and kisses me. It was a surprise, a pleasant surprise.

I've never been kissed on the lips before. Ever. Yeah I was kissed on the cheek in junior high, but lips!?! This was my first.

"Does that help the whole Emma situation?" he asks me. I smile, then frown.

"Emma explained everything last night." I tell him.

"Oh. Then I'm guessing that kiss meant nothing to you then," he frowns. I laugh.

"Of course it did! I've never been kissed on the lips before," I say. He laughs.

"Yeah, I guess."

We chat for awhile longer, and before we know it, it's 2:30 in the afternoon.

"We better go," I tell him. He smiles.

"Right you are, Katie. May I escort you back to your room?" he asks, his fist at his side while his elbow pops out.

"That would be very nice, Niall. Thank you," I say, accepting and wrapping my arm around his.

We walk like this the whole way to our floor in the hotel to find everyone staring at us.

"KATIE!" Cat and Emma come running towards me, squeezing the air out of me as they hug me.

"NIALL!" One Direction yells, running and hugging Niall. Niall and I look at each other and laugh.

When Emma and Cat release me, they start asking questions, but I can't hear them. I'm too focused on James who's trying to fight back tears, I can tell.

I walk past Emma and Cat, who stop asking questions. The hallway falls silent as James and I look at each other.

"Katie..." James tries saying without tears.

"I'm so happy for you," he spits out before sobbing into a million tears. I look at Emma and Cat, and they run to me, Niall at their heels.

"I just made a boy cry," I say, before crying myself.

"Cat, hurry up!" I exclaim. We were boarding the plane, and Cat was the last one to get on, along with Brad. She gives me an evil eye, then we both start laughing. We are all standing in the aisle, figuring out where we are going to sit.

"Sit by me?" Niall whispers in my ear. I see Brad do the same to Cat, and Harry to Emma. Emma, Cat, and I stare at each other and nod.

Niall and I sit across from Harry and Emma. Emma and I are on the outside seats, while the boys have the window seats. I look at Niall and frown.

"What's wrong, Katie?" He asks me.

"I'm going to miss New York. It was the place that held my first kiss," I explain. He kisses my lips again.

"And your second," he smiles. I laugh a little, then turn to see Harry kiss Emma on the cheek. I turn to try to find Cat and Brad, but they must be in the back of the plane with the Vamps.

Niall offers me a headphone, the other is in his ear. I gladly accept and find the song Teenage Dirtbag playing, but not the original. It was One Directions's version. I look at Niall, and make my mouth form an O. He laughs, and pushes my head down on his chest. The sound of his heartbeat and our music makes me fall into a deep sleep.
