LOVED YOU FIRST // N.H.

Chapter 7

Niall's POV 

Tonight, I had a show in London. I was in the middle of a song when I noticed a familiar blonde girl walking towards the stage. She waved at me, smiling. I waved back at her and continued to sing the song, as she sat in the first row, listening. When I finished, she clapped, making me chuckle. I climbed off of stage, walking towards her. She stood up, embracing me in hug. 

'' Hey tiny, what are you doing here? '' I asked her once we separated from each other. She shrugged her shoulders. '' I was bored at home, Jenna was too busy 'hanging out' with Noah so I decided to pay a visit to my other best friend while he's rehearsaling. '' I nodded. 

'' Well make yourself comfortable. We just started rehearsal, so if you have any wish for song, I'll be happy to make it come true . '' She smiled and nodded. I climbed back to the stage, singing  ' On my own '. When I finished singing ' On my own ', Brooke asked if I could sing ' Why' by Shawn. I looked at my band and they all nodded before starting the beat. 

'' I know a girl, she's like a curse. We want each other no one will break first...'' I started singing softly, trying hard not to make an eye contact with her. All my emotions were heard while I sang this song. 

'' I pretend that I'm not ready, why do we put each other through hell? Why can't we just get over ourselves? And you say hi like you just met me, why do we put each other through hell? '' After I finish the song, Brooke claps happily. She stood up and I thought she's gonna leave, but when she climbed on the stage and took the mic, I was confused. Brooke went over to Jake - my guitarist, whispering him something. He nodded and letting all the others but me about what she said. She smirked and approached me.

'' We've known each other for 4 years now. But there's still one small thing you don't know about me..'' she turned to the boys and nodded. The familiar beat of Camila Cabello's song started. And that's when the true shock began. 

'' Your hair's grown a little longer, your arms a little stronger... '' she poked my arm as she sang softly.  I was in pure shock at how amazing she sounds. 

'' Your eyes just as I remember, your smile's just a little bit softer...'' I smiled at that line making her grin. She turned around and started goofing around the stage still singing. 

''....cause after all these years I still feel everything when you are near, and it was just a quick hello and you had to go and you probably will never know. You're the one I'm after all these years..'' I took my phone, deciding to film her singing because I'm pretty sure that this is the only time I'll ever hear her sing. She looked so natural like she was singing and walking on the stage for years now. Few lines later, she finished singing. All of us clapped and started cheering at her, making her blush. She came over to me, giving me quick hug. I chuckled at her sudden shyness pressing a small kiss on her temple.  '' Wow tiny, never knew you had that in yourself. You were acting as if you own the stage. Couldn't be more proud of ya, tiny. '' She looked at me smiling. '' Thank you Horan. It means a lot to me, but I could never do this for the rest of my life, my anxiety would kill me. ''

After few more hours of goofing around and rehearsing, it was time for the actual concert. Brooke and Jenna decided to be in first row, not minding the fans since they were ones too. I changed into a different outfit and it was time for the show to begin. The melody of On the loose started and I brought mic up to my lips and started singing. 

'' I know what she's like, she's out of her mind and wraps herself around the truth...'' The fans were screaming and sang along with me. I saw in the corner of my eye Brooke and Jenna jamming between themselves 

''She'll run with your mind and pull you in tight, then trade you in for something new. I know what it's like , I fell for it twice and now I'm just warning you. '' Soon after that , the song was finished and the melody of ' The Tide' started playing. 

'' Oh no, get ready. I feel it coming, it's coming again. I stay close, hold steady. Cause I don't want it, don't want it to end....'' 

BROOKE'S POV

When the concert was nearing the end, Jenna and I headed over to the backstage to wait for Niall.  Niall's bodyguard was standing in front of the door and when he noticed us, he smiled at us and opened the door. I thanked him and we walked inside. Jenna immediately went to the snacks, while I decided to relax on the sofa. Soon after a few minutes of relaxing, Niall came to the backstage. He sat next to me and I patted his thigh. '' You were amazing, ugh I still can't believe my best friend is super famous. '' He chuckled at my comment. '' Thank you tiny. It means a lot. '' He looked over to Jenna who was still stuffing her face with snacks. He shook his head before heading over to her, patting her head even tho she was only a little bit shorter than him. She looked at him for a second before smacking his arm. He stepped away from her looking horrified. I just sat on the sofa laughing at their silliness.  '' Why did you smack me? '' He rubbed his arm, while still looking horrified at Jenna's action while  Jenna just rolled her eyes at him. '' Stop being a princess. I barely touched you and I did it because you patted my head like I was a puppy. '' They continued to argue until it was time for meet and greet.

FEW DAYS LATER

Jenna, Niall and I were going dress shopping. Niall didn't want to go at first, but I convinced him to go. So now Niall's driving us over to the salon We went inside and the lady who worked in the salon, greeted us politely. 

'' Hello, what can I do to help you? '' she smiled and my anxiety eased a little. '' I'm getting married and I'm looking for a dress. '' the rest of the guys sat down at the sofa while I followed the lady over to the dresses. She showed me a couple of dresses and I choose some of them to try on.  First dress I tried on was a fluffy, princess one and it the . I looked at myself in the mirror and I kind of liked it. Deciding on to show the dress to everyone, I walked over to where they were. Jenna was the first one to notice me, gasping. I chuckled at her reaction, making Niall turn his head towards me. I stood in front of them looking at myself in the mirror again. 

'' Tiny , you look really beautiful. '' Niall commented making me blush. Jenna approached me, looking at the dress from up close.

'' It's really pretty, but I'm not sure if I see you walking down the aisle in this dress. '' I nodded my head, agreeing with her. '' Yeah, I agree. '' 

After trying on a few more dresses, I found one that took my breath away. I tried it on and it looked so beautiful as if it was made for me.
