Ariana's POV
"Honey, Niall's here!" my mum shouting from downstairs "right i'll be there in a minute" i said grabbing my school bag and going downstairs. I took the french toast, blow a kiss to my mum and walking into Niall's car. "why it took so long? We're late now!" he's making a grumpy noise "oops sorry" i said while munching my breakfast.
Today is the last day for school. I'm not going anywhere after High School because i have to take care of my little sisters and everything. I just don't have time to collage and i don't have the money too. No.. I'm not that poor. Just look at me like i'm a really really typical girl from Mullingar, Ireland.
Niall is my neighbor and also my best friend. He's a very sweet guy and i have to admit it.. I have a huge crush on him since we're in grade 5. I know it's sucks but i also know we're never be more than friends..
Finally we're arrived at the school. Me and Niall are in the same class. When we're arrived at the class, Niall doesn't say anything. He also doesn't take the empty seat beside me, what's wrong? Am i making him angry with the late thing? Whatever it is i have to talk to him so i walk towards him and touched his shoulder
"hey mate! Why are you so quiet?" i said to him "nope it's just.. You know Cheryl? The girl who had me fall in love with?" Bam! When he said that my heart cracked into a million pieces. Of course i know he's still falling for her and... Maybe always "umm yea what's wrong with her?" i said hiding the broken side of me "i.. I'm just.. I'm not sure if she want to come to the prom with me, hey! Look at me, i'm a complete loser" he said painting the sorrow on his face "don't ever say that again! You're not a complete loser. You have to try, you'll never know if you never try right? If she reject you, you still have me here.. At least" i said looking down when i said 'at least' i know i shouldn't say that "i'll try. Thanks Ari! You're my best" he winked at me then the lesson's started
The school time always going so slow and boring. Usually Niall cheer me up when i'm bored in class, but not today. Maybe he's too busy to think of the words to ask Cheryl to go to the prom? Yes, definitely. I go back to my home by myself today. I didn't see Niall since the bell's ringing.
When i reached my home i remembered about the prom tonight and i opened my closet, searching for the gown i've already prepared for a month. I do really love this gown.. It had some kind of silver accessories on it, it's a yellow gown. I can't wait to wear it tonight! I look at my watch, it's already 4pm, I take a bath and doing my hair thing and make up then someone knocked my door room.
"can i come in?" that's my mum's voice "of course mum come in" i said taking the hair clippers and my mother opened the door, she gasped "is Princess Ariana finally going to wear her Belle look-a-like Gown?" she's staring at my gown on my bed "yes mum" i nod "and who are you going with for prom?" my mum asked and taking my necklace "unfortunately i'm not going with anyone" "ouch that's horrible honey, how about Niall?" "umm he supposed to be with someone else" i said and my face drops, i'm so sad about Niall and Cheryl thing this morning. But i can't do anything.. As long as Niall happy, i should be happy too right? Yes i used to.
I took a glance at the watch, it's 8pm and i have to go to the prom soon! I wear my dress, grab my purse and tell my mum that i'm going to the prom now. I call taxi to take me to the prom's place. I miss being with Niall.. Like i miss him picking me up everywhere i go, i miss his voice, i miss his adorable laugh and mostly, i miss his full attention on me. He seems so thinker lately. I'm afraid that Cheryl's distracting his thought
When i arrived at the place, i pay for the taxi and take a look at the gate. It's a massive sign with a 'welcome to the prom' thingy. I take a deep breath and pushing the front door. Someone give me a mask and i wear it, luckily it's really match with my dress aha!
My mission now is to find Niall here. Where the hell is he? I haven't seen him! He has a master talent of hiding. I'm looking for him here and there but no one seems like Niall with the mask on their faces! Where is this little leprechaun?! And suddenly someone tapped my shoulder. It's Cheryl
"hi, you're ariana right? Ummm if i'm not mistaken" she said "yes i am" i replied "all i know is your friend Niall.. He's.." she said looking down and sweaty "he's what?" i said looking scared "he's in the emergency room, i accidentally pushed him from the top of the stairs.. I'm so sorry i really am sorry about that"
That's when my whole world stops.. I can't read my own feeling. It's a bit angry, sad, i wanna laugh too but he's definitely not right!! I can't yell at Cheryl too, it's an accident. A really sappy accident. Without asking for permission i'm running to the emergency room on the corner of the hallway. I pour all my sadness in tears. Tears of fear to losing someone i've already known for ages. Someone i've always been bestfriends ever since we are kids. Someone i've always seen in class. Someone who always be there for me and be my only friend. Someone i've been falling in love with.. Someone i'm so afraid to lose.. Niall James Horan.
I finally reached the emergency room and all i can see is a boy i've been looking for, playing with his guitar. Playing a familiar song. Then he started singing .
it's a little bit funny, this feeling inside i'm not one of those who can easily hide, i don't have much money but girl if did i'd buy a big house where we both could live..
And you can tell everybody this is your song, it may be quiet simple but now that it's done, i hope you don't mind, i hope you don't mind that i put down in words how wonderful life is when you're in the world..
He stopped and smiling at me while i'm still catching my breath and the tears are changing into tears of joy. He put down his guitar and walking towards me, he hugged me and whispered "you're so beautiful tonight" i giggled and let go of his arms "it's not even funny! I don't like the prank! You're a badass!" i punched his right arm. "ouch! I'm sorry but you like it don't cha?" he's grinning "umm yes thank you Niall" i hug him one more time "you're welcome Ariana" he smilled.
We walked out of the emergency room. "so what happens with you and Cheryl? She rejects you?" i asked, i'm so curious "nope, i don't ask her to come with me" "but why?" "because i don't like her, she's just one of my friend. I fooled you one more time!" he said laughing. "you have to pay for that!" i said nudging him.
When we opened the ball where the prom held, there's no one there "great! We missed the prom!" i said "but you still have me.. At least" he said taking my hands, i smiled. After a couple seconds of complete silence he finally says something i'm dying to hear after all we've been trough
"I Love You Ariana.. I do really love you. After all these years with you, i can't just let you go and trying to hide my feeling for you, it's getting stronger day by day, i just love your insecureness so i can be there to make you feel secure again, i love your clumsiness so i can be there to catch you whenever you fall, i love your sadness so i can be there to make you feel happy and.." i'm freezing there blinking my eyes to make sure it's not a dream "would you be my girlfriend?" i can't say no to him, can i? I've always been dying to hear that from Niall's mouth. I've been waiting for this moment to come. How could i say no? "yes Niall i wanna be your girlfriend" we hugged
And all of the sudden a cheering crowds come from the other door, teasing me and Niall. And the music started again, the prom is on again. "who says the prom's over?" ask Niall teasing me, i rolled my eyes "and there's one more question i wanna ask you" he says looking down "what is that mr.horan?" i smiled widely "would you like to go to the prom with me?" he's staring right into my eyes "i'd love to!" i said, he smiled and take my hand guiding me to the crowds
I just don't want this moment to end.
