"Hey baby :) don't take this the wrong way.. u know i love u.. but i need to concentrate on my music.. so can we still be friends? :("

My heart shattered. I had given everything to this boy. I swore the sound I made wasn't human, more like a dying whale. I curled into a ball on my bed, feeling every piece of my heart break. I grabbed my earphones, my hands shaking worse than Niall the night he took the part of me I could never get back. I had fallen too hard, too fast.. I typed in "Look After You" by the Fray, a cover with about 200 views appearing by Louis Tomlinson, one of the guys in Niall's band. I decided to listen to it, and it was very good, Louis had excellent talent. I listened to the original, every word making me cry harder into my pillow. The pain was unbearable. It's been about 6 months now, and all the kisses, hugs, 'I love you' 's all going to waste.

"So why are you being nice to the new girl?" I recalled asking Niall.

"Because she's preeettty.."Niall had blushed, kicking a rock. The memories came flooding back, our first kiss in the art room, our first time at the party, how many times our parents caught us kissing, the times I stayed up talking to him on the phone, the times we kissed in class behind the teachers backs. Most importantly, the time he flung his arm over my shoulder, staring at me with those eyes and melting my heart. He knew he had me there, he stole my heart the first time we met. I scrolled through numerous photos of all of us, me and the girls, me and Niall, and finally found the video of Niall dancing, singing "Beat Again". I was torturing myself with these memories,and I finally texted Laura, who told Macy, who told Teagan. Soon, the girls all came over and we watched cheesy love movies and cried together. Macy had gotten with Ryan, and he cheated on her, but she still liked him. Laura liked Ricky, but Ricky liked Jackie.   Teagan liked Jack, but Jack also liked Jackie. Girl problems.

"But hey, Niall's famous! Girls would kill to be you!"Macy said, and I sighed. One Direction had gotten signed to Syco records and had a single coming out soon, and would be flying to California to shoot the video.

Niall's Point of View: 

"It's what you gotta do, man."Harry said as I fought the tears, the message finally sending through. He patted my back and I took a deep shaky breathe. Louis had to do it as well, and he wasn't too happy either. I didn't want to picture Ariana's face when she read the message, knowing she'd be absoluely crushed. I never wanted to end things, but I knew I wouldn't be back in Mullingar any time soon to tell her the truth. We had a single coming out soon, and were preparing to fly out to California to shoot the video -- "What Makes You Beautiful".

I would definitely tweet this to Ariana, to show her I still care. She hadn't replied, but it showed she read the message. We were all stoked for the trip, but I finally broke down in tears. I was 414 miles away from home, I just lost the one person that meant the world to me... But I needed to keep going. For Ari.

-2 years later-

"On in 3..2.1.. go!"

We burst onto stage. We were in Dublin, the closest to home I've been in awhile. It was a bit sad, but I could help but wondering if Ariana was here. I doubt she'd come, I broke her heart.

Ariana's Point of View:

I watched as the boys ran onto stage, seeing the familiar blue eyes. He changed a little, his hair a little shorter and spiking up. He was in black skinny jeans and white supras and a white t-shirt.. Like old times. Only now, thousands of girls were screaming his name along with "I love you!" 's. I had first row, certainly he'd see me. The ballad for the song "Moments" began playing, and he scanned the crowd. At his solo, he finally saw me.

"Don't wanna be without you.."He sang, making his way over to where I was. Girls screamed as Niall grabbed my hand, holding onto it and staring into my eyes as he sang. Even after his solo, he held onto my hand for a while.

"I love you.."He whispered, causing girls next to me to scream deafening screams. I nodded and he ran to join the boys in the middle of the stage.  At the end of the song, he said something to a security guard, and then "Up All Night" began playing.

"Mr.Horan wants you backstage."The security guard approached me, and the girls begged me to take them with me, but I shook my head. Macy, Teagan, and Laura had decided to stay home, and I followed the security guard backstage, waiting for the irish boy to come out. I was nervous. He had broken up with me, yet said he loved me 2 years later? Finally, I saw Harry walk back, followed by Liam, then Louis, Zayn, then Niall. Niall's eyes met mine, and my heart melted like the first time we met. I didn't care that he was sweaty as hell, when he came over and hugged me I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly.

Don't cry, don't cry.

I started doing the opposite, crying into Niall's shoulder He had gotten braces, his teeth a bit straighter than when we were first together.

"I love you, I always have, I never.."Niall was still the same, bad at explaining things. I nodded and tried to smile, although this was overwhelming.

"Young love."Louis smirked, nudging Harry to look. Harry started checking me out, which made me feel uncomfortable. Niall stared into my eyes before pressing his lips onto mine. I wondered if my trick still worked, and I bit his lip. It definitely worked, and I smiled.

"Please just be my girlfriend again?"Niall begged, and his bodyguard appeared.

"Management won't approve,"He said, and Niall rolled his eyes.

"2 words. Fuck. Management."Niall smirked, his arm around my waist still. I missed Niall, no matter how hard I tried to deny it, the nights I promised myself I was over him.

"I.. accept."I said, turning to Niall. Every time I kissed Niall, I remembered the 16 year old girl who wanted to change, grabbing the boy next to her and kissing him in her art class. I was still her, and Niall was still him.

We got management to approve, and of course Niall had to tweet about it. It actually worked out, people trending "Nariana is back" and the video of our first kiss resurfaced. The video started when me and Niall were talking about how boring the class was, and you can clearly see Nall grabbing the paint brush and dipping it in paints, bringing it across my arm and onto my stomach. I had been clearly surprised, my mouth in a perfect 'o' shape. I had reached for the red paint, splattering it all over Niall. Yellow, blue, green was flying everywhere. The person taking the video was stifling laughter, when the moment most people remembered began. I dunked my hands into both of the red paint buckets, lunging towards Niall and grabbing his face, pulling him into a kiss. My eyes were shut, and his were wide for a second while he tried to figure out what had just happened. They slowly shut as he gave in, his arms going around my waist.

"So romantic,"Harry muttered sarcastically as we all watched the video.

"You're just jealous your single, Harry."I beamed, and he shrugged.

"Don't know why, I'm sexy."He genuinely seemed like he didn't know why, and I didn't know either. Maybe he just hasn't found the one yet.

"I never thought in a million years that that would happen,"Niall laughed at the video, and I shrugged.

"I'm fearless,"I smiled, and he agreed.
