So sorry that it's late :( Hope you still like it! Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It sucks to be in love with your best friend.

Just ask Niall Horan, one of the five members of the famous boy band, One Direction.

With her dark brown hair that shimmered in the sunslight, her dark, mysterious eyes, and have you heard her voice when she sings? No, of course you haven’t; she rarely ever sings in front of people she doesn’t know.

But you can also ask Isabel herself; she knows what it’s like to be in love with your best friend.

With his bleached blonde hair, his icy blue eyes, and his adorable Irish accent, well, what’s not to love about Niall? She just wished that she had the courage to tell him. All of the boys constantly reassure her that Niall feels the same way, but she doesn’t buy it. Besides, why would Niall be in love with her?

However, Niall had a plan; he thought of something to finally sweep Isabel off of her feet. Something so amazing that she just had to fall in love with him; she just had to! He voiced out his plan to the rest of the boys and they looked at him like he was crazy.

“Don’t you think that that’s a bit, erm, over-the-top?” Liam asks, questioning Niall’s plan.

“No way!” he responds, waving his hands in the air crazily. “It’s perfect!”

“Niall, mate, she’s already in love with you,” Louis replies, putting his hand on Niall’s shoulder. “Just ask her out. You don’t have to make a big deal out of all of this.”

“I do; I do have to make a big deal out of all of this. She’s a big deal to me, guys. Can’t you understand?” he pleads, looking at each of them.

“Niall, of course we understand,” Harry reassures his friend.

“Then you’ll let me go through with this? We’ll do it?” he asks excitedly, a huge smile spreading across his face.

The four boys look at each other, unsure. “We’ll do it,” they all say in unison.

He looked out across the audience from behind the curtain, his eyes immediately landing on Isabel; she was in the front row, all the way to the right. She looked so beautiful, with her dark hair falling in all of the right places and a wide smile on her face. That’s all it took for Niall’s heart to start beating like crazy.

He took a deep breath and walked on stage, waving at the screaming crowd. His eyes locked with Isabel’s and he mouthed, “Hi,” and gave her a slight wave.

She smiled and waved back, her stomach full of butterflies at the sight of him. She can’t believe that she was actually going to see them perform!

“This is a new song we’re going to be singing,” Louis begins. “We didn’t write it; it’s just a cover of a song.”

“This song is dedicated to the love of my life,” Niall says into his microphone before they start singing.

Then, an all-too-familiar beat came on and a wide smile spread across Isabel’s face. The boys were going to be singing “Let Me Love You” by Ne-Yo; Isabel’s favorite song at the moment. By the time they were done, Isabel’s face was flushed from the excitement and her heart was beating wildly from all of the dancing she did while the boys were singing.

“That was dedicated to my best friend. She’s amazing and I love her so much,” Niall says, out of breath after their performance. He looks directly at Isabel as he speaks. “Isabel, I love you. No, I’m in love with you.”

Gasping, she runs up to the stage and jumps into Niall’s arms, her chest heaving up and down as she cries on his shoulder. “Niall, do you mean it?” she asks, looking into his blue eyes. “Do you really mean it?”

“Of course I do, princess,” he whispers, leaning forward and kissing her.
