"No," you whispered to yourself as you jogged along the sidewalk. It was overcast day, but not quite raining yet.

You were crying, heavily. Every time you got upset, you'd jog around town until you'd cried out all of your thoughts. You let the tears slide down your face as you jogged, your tennis shoes slapping against the cold sidewalk with each step.

You continued jogging fiercely until you bumped into some guy, that stopped you.

"Whoa, are you okay?" He asked, gripping your arms so that you wouldn't fall.

"I'm...fine..." You sniffled, wiping more tears from your face.

"No, you're not," The guy said as he took your hand. "Come with me."

You let this guy lead you somewhere, and you were headed towards a building when you realized that something wasn't right here. You'd never seen this guy before, yet you just decided to let him take you some random place. Though, it felt so right.

Just before he was about to take you into the building, you jumped back a foot and shot him a scared look. "What is wrong with me?! I have no idea who you are, and I'm just following you to this random building! I need to leave!" You shrieked and turned to run, but the guy still had a grip on your hand. A grip that he wasn't willing to let go of.

"No, no. You've got it all wrong. I'm sure this looks bad, but let me explain first," He waited for a sign of approval from you. You nodded and he continued, "I'm Niall Horan. I'm in One Direction. That's a band, in case you haven't heard of us. I'm not trying to hurt you, I promise. You just look so lonely and I think you need help. This is the studio that we record at. I was going to bring you in here, where you're safe, so that I could sit down and talk to you for a while. The rest of the boys are in here as well."

You listened intently as he spoke. You nodded a few times, and realized that you did actually know about One Direction. You weren't a huge fan, but you enjoyed their music. Finally, after hearing his explanation, you agreed and let him take you inside.

It was so much warmer in the building and a lot more comfortable, too. You'd never been in a professional recording studio before. But, this was nice. Before going any further, Niall introduced you to the other four guys. They all seemed reasonably nice. But honestly, you just wanted to talk to Niall. He seemed the friendliest.

After you went around and met everyone, Niall set you down in a chair in a private room and brought you a cup of warm hot chocolate. He then took the seat next to you and watched you drink for a while before speaking up again.

"So tell me. What's a pretty girl like you so upset about?" He continued to watch you and it started to make you worry. Was there something on your face? He just kept staring at you and you cleared your throat before talking.

"Well..." You were a little hesitant to give out all of this to some guy that you just met. But in the hour that you had already been with Niall, you felt like you had always known him. So, you continued. "My boyfriend broke up with me for some other girl..."

You could feel the tears coming back again, but Niall quickly leaned in and held you close in a hug that felt extremely comforting. He held you like that for a while, until he said something.

"How could he be so stupid as to do that?! No girl could be nicer or prettier than you!" He smiled at you and lightly pecked your nose. You were a little surprised that he had suddenly become so touchy with you. But, in the end, you didn't mind at all.

"Thank you," You returned the smile. This turned out to be the first time you'd smiled all day and it couldn't have felt better.

"What's your name, sweetheart? I don't think I caught it," He said, still holding you close.

"Oh, I'm (Y/N)," You said, smiling once again.

"Well, (Y/N), do you feel any better?" He tightened his grip around you, as if he was scared you'd leave.

"I feel loads better! Thank you, Niall!" You leaned into him and let him hug you again. His hugs were just so comforting, you couldn't help it.

"No problem. I couldn't let you freeze out there!" He smiled again.

You looked up at him, and this time, you found his eyes. This was the first time that you'd ever really noticed them. They were really beautiful. The perfect shade of blue. And the light hit them so well, they were sparkling.

"Do you believe in love at first sight, (Y/N)?" He asked you, his face was straight and you could tell that he was being serious.

"I'm not sure. I suppose it could happen..." You said, smiling up at him.

"I think you're my first experience with it," Niall said, almost too lovingly. He leaned I closer to you, leaving only an inch of space between you two. "In fact, I don't think. I know. I love you, (Y/N)."

You were completely stunned. But, it was also the best feeling in the world. You couldn't even talk. All you could do was smile crazily and hope he'd see that you felt the same way. Fortunately, he noticed right away and closed the inch between you with a kiss.
