And All Your Little Things [Niall Horan]

Chapter 43: Road Trip Part 2

I was released from the hospital three days later. 

"You ready?" Niall looks over at me from the driver's seat.

"What, you mean ready to get away from this stupid hospital and get to my dad's? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm ready."

Niall chuckles as he starts the car up. I plug my phone into the iPod connection. I press the shuffle play in my music and lay my head back, falling asleep. 

I rub my eyes, the sun almost blinding me. "How long was I asleep?" I ask Niall.

"3 Hours." He says. I notice the music has turned off.

"What happened to the music?" 

"I turned it off. It kept repeating the same songs. Half of which I sing every night, so I found something else to listen to." 

"Oh, so where are we by the way?" I ask, looking out the window.

"Utah." He says.

"Oh."

"So I think we're gonna stop in Denver for the night. Then we should make it to Minnesota by late tomorrow night."

"Sounds good." I smile. I unplug my phone from the iPod connection and open Instagram. I take a selfie with Niall and caption it 'RoadTrip!!! <3'.

"And I rescheduled our flight by the way. That way we don't have to cut our visit with your dad short."

"Ok." I smile. I pull a stack of magazines out of my bag on the floor and a pen. 

"So when do you think we should make our engagement public?" Niall asks me as I flip through the wedding dress magazine.

"I don't know, maybe soon so that we can hire a planner and we can go out and actually plan stuff?"

"Should we do it now?" He grins.

"What?! For real?"

"Yeah. Give me your hand." He says, holding his right hand out for me to hold. I follow his instructions and grab his hand. "Now open Instagram. And take a picture of our hands." I give him a strange look.

"Just do it." He instructs.

"Ok." I say as I take a picture of our entwined hands, making my ring visible to the camera. "How's this caption?" I ask him, reading it out loud to him. "My favorite part of road trips. Feeling happy with my one and only love."

"Great, now post it." I post the picture and comments and likes immediately flood through. 

All hell has just broke loose in the One Direction fandom.

--------------------------------------

"I spy with my little eye....... something green." Niall says.

"A tree?" I laugh. 

"Yes." He sulks.

"Ok, my turn. Um, I spy something orange." 

"That car, that house, that sign?" He asks.

"That car is black! And that house is blue!" I laugh.

"So was it the sign then?" He chuckles.

"Yep. Your turn."

"I spy something blue."

"The sky?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.

"God you're good at this!" He teases me.

"Ok, one more, then we can play something else." I say. "I spy something hot." 

"The sun?" He asks.

"Nope."

"You?"

"Negative."

"Me?"

"Huh-uh."

"Ok, I give up." He says.

"It was that car's exhaust pipe in front of us." I laugh and he gives me an evil glare.

"Ok, how about now that it's starting to get a little darker, we can play the alphabet game until we can't see anymore." I suggest.

"Ok. So we start with A, right?"

"Yep." 

"No pAssing!" I point. "B"

"Brekenridge!" Niall shouts.

---------------------------------------

After about an hour of playing that, it's too dark to play, so we switch to twenty questions.

"Are you alive?" Niall asks.

"No."

"You look alive to me." He laughs.

"Shut up!" 

"Ok, um, can I hold you?"

"Yes."

"Do I use you very often." He asks.

"Oh yeah. ALL the time."

"Do I own you?" He asks.

"Yes."

"Do I have at least five of you?"

"Yes."

"Um, do you wear me?" 

"Sorta."

"Hmm. Do I bring you with me when I go on tour?"

"Yes."

"Do I bring you on stage when I go on tour?"

"Yes."

"Are you a microphone or a headset?"

"No."

"Are you a guitar?"

"Yeah."

We pass a sign that says Denver: Exit 259. I start putting my stuff back in my bag. We reach our hotel about twenty minutes later. We immediately went up to our room. We drove for ten hours today and another twelve tomorrow to go. So the last thing I want to do right now is go touring Denver. Hopefully Niall and I can make it through the day tomorrow. 

I open my laptop up and turn the power on. I connect to the internet then connect to twitter. Not to my surprise, #NallieEngagement and #Nallie are trending.

"Niall! Look at this! We're two trending topics!" I yell at him in the other room. He runs in and looks at my laptop.

"Wow!"  He says. Yeah, I scroll through my timeline, seeing all the sweet messages to Niall and I, and ignoring all the hater messages.

Congrats to Niall and Allie on your engagement! #Nallie #NallieEngagement

I knew he would marry her! Cutest couple ever!#NallieEngagement #Nallie

So happy for them! Probably more happy for them than I will be on my own wedding day. #Nallie #NallieEngagement

I click the compose button and write a new tweet.

Thank you all so so so much for all the support! It means so much to us! Love all of you! <3 I think I'm marrying into the right fandom :)

@Louis_Tomlinson: Does this mean we can finally start telling people?! @NiallOfficial @leprechaunlover

@leprechaunlover:@Louis_Tomlinson Um... I think everyone knows now...

I close my laptop and go over to my suitcase. I change into my pajamas and climb into my bed.
