Just the Way You Are

Part Thirteen:

Harry quietly opened the hotel room and sat his stuff down. He was trying to be as quiet as possible so he wouldn't wake Niall but it was too late. Niall had already sat up in his be.

"Harry, is that you?" Niall asked groggily as he rubbed his eyes.

"Yeah man, sorry I woke you up. I'll try to be quieter. I'm gonna hop in the shower real fast if that's okay."

"Yeah, go right ahead. I'm probably not going to go back to sleep. I wanna have some 'bro time,'" Niall laughed, "you gotta tell me how everything went!"

Harry chuckled, "okay. Yeah. I want to hear how everything went with you too. Give me like thirty minutes." Harry scurried off to the bathroom. Feeling refreshed after his shoer, he collapsed on his bed and sighed.

"Who goes first," Harry asked Niall.

"You go first. Man, I can't believe you all stayed out there all night. Things must have gotten pretty serious," Niall said laughing.

Harry chuckled, "I can't believe we did that either but it wasn't like that. Nothing happened. She's not like that at all and I really admire that about her. A kiss is as far as we go. I'm a new man." Harry smiled as he said the words.

"Wow, that's awesome. I'm really happy for you. And proud!"

Harry smiled to himself, "thanks man, last night was absolutely incredible. She's absolutely amazing. She have me a journal of hers will with prayers for me and about me. Knowing that someone out there saw so much potential in me and cared so much for me even when we'd never met means so much." Harry looked over at Niall who was smiling like a little kid.

"Go on!"

"Well, this is going to blow your mind... but I found God last night," Harry started to get really excited, "I became a Christian last night. It's not about me anymore, I'm living for Him. Also.. I've decided to stop drinking." Harry looked over at Niall to see his reaction. Niall's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe the words he'd just heard.

"Whoa. I'm...wow...congratulations. I remember the day I got serious about my faith. My whole world was flipped upside down. I felt like I could finally breath. Now that Helen's in my life I feel like I'm becoming a better person. She told me about this scripture the other day. It's Philippians 4:7. "Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."" Niall smiled.

"Dude, that's exactly how I fell. Hold on, I gotta write that down. Phill-ipp-ian's four-seven.. okay! Got it! Anyways, the rest of the night we just played 20 Questions and chatted about everything," Harry finished.

"Sounds like it went pretty well Mr. Styles," Niall joked but then got serious, "so...do you think she's, ya know, the one?"

"I know she's the one," Harry said confidently, "that question was answered a long time ago. Last night confirmed everything though. She's mine. Now, tell me about your date." Harry said enthusiastically.

Niall's eyes lit up and his cheeks turned bright red, "well..everything went according to the plan. I played her Ed's 'Wake Me Up' and in the middle of the song I pretended to drop the pick in the guitar. When I shook the guitar the necklace I got her fell out."

"Very smooth, Mr. Horan, very smooth," Harry said laughing at himself.

"You know how I do," Niall said popping his nonexistent collar, "After that I took her to see Romeo and Juliet. We had box seats. Honestly...it was the best night of my life. There ain't no doubt about it...she's the one. She's my girl, my princess."
