I Won't Give Up (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Auditions

Author's note: Alright guys! You did it! Here's the first chapter! :)

Natalie's POV

~Saturday: 6AM~

I couldn't sleep at all last night. I'm excited, yet not ready for today. Niall gets the chance to live out his dreams while I'm stuck working part-time at McDonald's. I haven't seen him for a while though. I still miss him... I still love him...

~.~.~.~.~.~.~

I stepped out of the shower and put on some clean clothes. I decided to blow dry my hair and let it hang down my back. I looked at the clock only to realize that I spent almost a hour in the shower.

I walked into my bedroom in our new house. We moved out of Richmond and into Lynn a couple years ago. I like it here, I really do.

Just then my computer started going off- telling me I had a Skype call waiting. It was Maura which meant Niall should be auditioning soon. I quickly answered.

"Hi Maura!"

"Hey Nat. Niall's going on in about five minutes."

"Great! I know he's going to do amazing."

Just then, the computer shifted a bit. An all-too-familiar face appeared on the screen- Niall. My heart skipped a beat and I got butterflies in my stomach as I nervously fixed my hair. He smiled that beautiful, crooked, Irish smile.

"Hey lass."

"Hey Nialler."

He blushed a bit.

"I go on in five minutes. I'm really nervous."

"Don't be Niall. You have talent, go out there and show it."

We smiled at each other and he was told to go on stage.

"Bye Nat!"

"Bye! Good luck!"

He walked away.

"I love you..." I said just above a whisper.

Maura turned the camera towards the TV backstage. I could see Niall walking out in his red plaid shirt and blue jeans. He still had a smile on his face and rosy red cheeks. I knew he was going somewhere. I just knew it.

"What's your name?" Louis said.

"Niall."

"Niall what?"

"Niall Horan."

"Why are you here today?"

"To be the best artist I can be in the world."

"And Niall, how old are you?"

"I'm 16."

"So, are you like an Irish Justin Bieber?"

"I reckon so."

"Does this make you really popular at school?" Katy asked.

"Yeah, I suppose Katy. Yeah."

"Okay." Louis said.

"Doo doo doo doo doo. Oh yeah. I gotta change my answerin' machine. Now that I'm alone, cos right now it says that we, can't come to the phone and I know it makes no sense cos you walked out the door, but it'a the only way I hear your voice anymore. It'a ridiculous-"

"I think you're adorable and you have charisma and you should keep working at it. You're only 16. I started out when I was 15 and I didn't make it until I was 23." Katy said.

What?! He's great!

"I think you're unprepared. I think you and with the wrong song. You're not as good as you thought you were, but I still like you."

C'mon Simon!

"You're obviously adorable. You've got a lot of charm for a 16-year-old, but ehm, the song's too big for you."

I don't even know your name! C'mon! He's amazing!

"Niall, I think you've got something. I think people will like you because you're likeable!" Louis said.

I began to smile.

"What'd you say?" Simon cut in.

"I think people will like him just because he's likeable, because he's Irish and-"

"People will like him because he's likeable?"

"Shut up." Louis said.

I smiled again.

"Simon, yes or no?"

"Well, I'm going to say yes."

Niall's face lit up.

"Cheryl?" I think he said.

"I'm going to say no."

What?! Both of our faces dropped.

"I'm going to say yes!" Louis said.

Man, I love this guy!

They said something I couldn't quite make out. Katy Perry spoke again.

"Can I just say that I agree with Cheryl? You do need more work and by the way, just if you're likeable, likeableness isn't going to sell records. It's talent, and you had a seed of it..... Of course, you're in!"

Everyone lit up! Niall started jumping around. He had made it through!

"Don't let us down!" Katy said.

"Thank-you." He said as he walked off.

Niall made his way backstage and huge everyone. He was so happy! He came over to the camera and kissed it.

"Oh my gosh! You did it Niall!"

He then typed to me.

-now if only you were here.-

I looked up with a hopeful smile and he smiled back. He had made it through auditions. :)
