Author's Note: This chapter contains Niall Horan's X Factor audition, and just so ya know, I do not own any of it or what he says or whatever like that! ok? ok! enjoy!! ( i hope..) :D
"I'll miss you Ciara, I love you." Niall whispers in my ear. We're in my room, spending our last hour together. It's been a month since Niall got the callback, and he's leaving today for Dublin.
There are tears streaming down my cheeks now. "i'll miss you too Niall but I'm happy for you." I whisper to him. He wraps his arms around my waist, and leans down and lightly kisses my lips.
I put my arms around the back of his neck. "I'll miss you so so much." I say, more tears coming. I see tears forming in Niall's eyes too. He pulls me to his chest. "I love you Ciara." he whispers in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "Never forget it." he says.
He leans down and crashes his lips to mine. he holds me tight, and I know that he will keep his promise, to always love me. I just hope I won't hold him back from his dream to be a singer.
In this moment, nothing matters. It doesn't matter that he's leaving in an hour, it doesn't matter that I wont be able to see him for a long time. All that matters is me and Niall, together in these last moments until we see eachother again.
After a while we pull apart, and the tears are visible on Niall's cheeks. I take his hand, and lead him over to my bed. He sits down,and I sit across his lap. He wraps his arms around me, and I do the same to him. I start to cry, and then Niall does too.
We just sit there, crying in eachothers arms. "It's gonna be okay, I'm coming back eventually, if not right away! and I'll text you every day!' Niall tells me. "yeah, I know.... and I know theyll put you through, and if they dont, well they have no sense of what talent is." I say. Niall laughs. "I'm serious!" I tell him.
For the next hour, we just lay in my bed, talking, hugging, kissing, laughing, crying, and saying how much we love eachother and will miss eachother, but too soon, its time for Niall to leave.
We walk out to his car, hand in hand. "Good luck." I tell him. "Thank you." he says, and leans in for one last kiss. Our lips meet, and I want it to last, because it's the last time we'll be with eachother for a while.
The kiss is perfect. our lips moving together in perfect sync, and I never want to let him go, but of course, all good things must come to an end.
We finally pull away, and I stare into his beautiful blue eyes. "Good Luck!" I tell him. "you're going to win."
He laughs. "I'll try" he tells me. He kisses my cheek one last time, and then gets into the car. "I love you." he says. "I love you too." I tell him. he closes the door, and backs out of the driveway. he drives down the road, and a the tears start to fall.
I wave goodbye to him, and he puts his hand out the window, and waves back. he turns the corner, out of sight, and I realize he's really gone. I miss him so much already.
******************************************************************************************
I'm sitting in my living room, TV turned on. Niall's live first audition is coming up, after the commercial. I'm so nervous and excited to see how he does.
Finally the commercials end, and the show comes back on. The host talks a little and then I see Niall on the screen, and theyre doing background on him. I'm so excited I could scream!
"I'm Niall Horan, I'm 16, and I'm from Mullingar, in the midlands of Ireland" he says. I squeal like a fangirl. I'm just so excited and happy for him!!
"I want to be one of those big names, like Beyonce, or Justin Bieber" he continues. "I've been compared to him a few times, and ya know, its not a bad comparison." he shrugs adorably.
"I want to sell out arenas, and make albums, and work with some of the best artists in the world! Today is the start of it all, If I get through today, then its game on!" he says.
It shows him walking onstage. The judges are Louis Walsh, Katy Perry, Cheryl Cole, and of course, Simon Cowell.
"What's your name?" Louis asks. "Niall" Niall says "Niall what?" Louis asks. "Horan" he replies. "And why are you here?" he asks "I'm here to be the best artist I can be." says Niall.
"And how old are you?" asks Louis. "16" he replies "So you're like.. an Irish Justin Bieber is that right?"
"I reckon so" he replies. "So does this make you really popular at school?" asks Katy. "Yeah I suppose Katy, eh? Niall replies adorably. I laugh, and so does the audience. "Off you go" says Louis.
The music starts, and its So Sick by Neyo. Niall's angelic voice rings out.
"I gotta change my answering machine, and now that I'm alone,
and 'cause right now it says that we, cant come to the phone,
and I know it makes no sense, 'cause you walked out the door,
but its the only way I hear your voice anymore"
he starts again, but Simon cuts him off, by holding up his hand. My heart starts beating really fast. Why did Simon stop him? He was doing amazing.
Katy starts talking, "I think you're adorable, and you have charisma, I just think that maybe, you should work on it, you're only 16, I started out when I was 15, and I didn't make it til I was 23."
Niall looks like he doesnt know what to do. "No Katy! you're wrong! he did amazing!" I yell at my TV, and realize that I'm yelling at a TV... oh well.
Simon starts to speak. "I think you're unprepared, I think you came with the wrong song, you're not as good as you thought you were," my heart drops. "You know what you're wrong too Simon!" I yell at my TV. but then Simon continues, "but I still like you." he says.
"Oh nevermind.. you're good Simon.." i mumble. Niall shrugs and smiles uncertainly, and the crowd cheers.
Cheryl starts to speak. "Yeah, you're obviously adorable, you've got alot of charm for a 16 year old, but uh, the song's too big for you babe." she says. "yeah yeah we dont need your opinion Cheryl" I grumble.
Its Louis' turn to speak. "Niall, I think you've got something, I think people would absolutely like you, 'cause you're likable" he says. "yeah go Louis! you're right! the rest of them are wrong!!" I shout.
"What did you say?" Simon asks Louis. "I think people will like him 'cause he's likable, not because he's irish" says Louis
"Niall, just 'cause you think that he's likable." says Simon. "Shut up." says Louis. Niall and the audience laugh.
"Simon yes or no" Louis asks. "Well I'm gonna say yes" says Simon. the crowd cheers, and Niall does a fist pump. "Yes Simon I love you forever!!" I yell and jump up off the couch.
"Cheryl yes or no?" asks Louis. "I'm gonna say no" she says. Niall looks really disappointed and the crowd boo's. "Well screw you Cheryl! no one likes you anyways!" I yell, getting a little over excited.
"I'm gonna say yes!!" Louis says, skipping over Katy. Niall smiles and the crowd cheers. "Yes! see I always knew you were a good guy Lou!" I say. "Come on Katy he needs three yeses!" Louis tries to persuade Katy.
"Can I just say that I agree with Cheryl, you do need more experience." says Katy. "No!!" Louis and I protest at the same time. Katy continues, "and by the way just if you're likable, likableness is not gonna sell records, its talent, and you have.... a seed of it" she says.
"Oh come on enough with the long speech just say yes!" I yell. Niall nervously brings his hands up to his head. Katy hesitates. "Of course you're in." Katy says. "YESS!!" I scream, and so does Niall., jumping high in the air.
"Don't let us down!" says Katy. "I won't" he says, walking offstage with a huge smile. I jump up and down with happiness and immediately call him. He picks up at the first ring. "Ciara?" he says excitedly. "YOU MADE IT!!" i scream. "I KNEW YOU WOULD!!"
"It's all thanks to you babe" he says. "I love you!" "I love you too Niall I miss you but I'm so proud of you!" I say. "Thank you!! I miss you too!" he says. "gotta go babe incoming call, I'll text you, I love you!" he says, and hangs up.
I'm so happy for him but there's always that selfish part of me in the back of my mind, wishing he could come home sooner, because I miss him so much.
