This is Fate, Right? (lwt)

Chapter 21

Evelyn and I make our way to the seats reserved for us. Louis got us front and center tickets so we have a great view of the boys and the stage. The boys are facing backward ready to turn around and start. The first song's music starts and they turn around dramatically, singing "Just Can't Let Her Go." The people around us are screaming and crying from the shock of seeing them live. And then there's just us trying to fit in but at the same time cannot bring ourselves to be like the other fans. They finish that song and they all pause. Louis comes to the front with the group going off to the side retrieving something from there.

"I'd like to take a moment to notice a very special girl in this audience. A girl that I've known for six years but I've only really know her well for a week. A girl that has come so far in such little time. Let's give it up for Callie Evans! Come on up!" he ends with a cheer scrambling to the edge of the stage to pull me up there. I have a big grin on my face as I hold on to Louis. He motions for me to sit on the chair in the middle of the stage. So, that was what the boys were getting. I gently sit down and see the boys move off to the sides of the stage. Louis pulls another chair to the center and catches a guitar thrown by Niall. His hand finds mine squeezing it gently. I meet his gaze and raise my eyebrows in a question. He reassures me silently. Then he addresses the whole audience. "This girl also happens to be someone very dear to me. Although I love our band's songs I don't think any of them quite fit perfectly. So I'm going to sing one of my favorite songs...'Drops of Jupiter.' " He strums his guitar softly and launches into the song. I finally understand what's happening and blush a deep shade of red. He starts in a soft voice "Now that she's back in the atmosphere / With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey / She acts like summer and walks like rain / Reminds me that there's a time to change, hey, hey, hey / Since the return from her stay on the moon she listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey, hey/ Hey, hey, hey..." At that point he tosses the guitar back to Niall and turns back to me pulling me up and towards him. His hands around my waist we start to dance, still singing. As he finishes the song he pulls me as close as can be brushing a stray hair aside and deeply connecting our lips. We stay in that moment for at least a minute finally pulling away aware a few hundred or so strangers are watching us. As we turn to face the crowd the audience breaks into an uproar. Louis pulls me to the side of the stage where we can continue our kiss in a state almost like privacy. Before he pulls me in I hear a voice I associate with Niall say "She's not the only fabulous woman in this stadium. Although all of you are great I have picked only one of you. Evelyn, come on up." I can just imagine Evelyn's tomato-red face hiding her elated emotions as she walks up. Louis takes a seat on a chair pulling me onto his lap to continue the kiss in a sitting position. As our gentle lips connect I hear Niall say once again "Although Louis may not have been satisfied with one of our songs I picked one of our songs that connects perfectly with my situation.Many people know it and love it. 'Summer Love' or in my place 'Year of Love.' " As Niall finishes his short speech Louis positions me into a straddle making it more comfortable to make out. "Louis, that was one of the best years of my life along with this one. That was the year I met you," I whisper in his ear.

"This year have been the best year of my life because I met the woman I truly love after six years of separation," he responds.

"I guess I'll have to tell our children you declared your love while we were on the side of a stage making out," I joke.

"Tell away," he tells me and strokes my hair.

Evelyn's POV

As Niall starts the song I can't believe this is actually happening. Me, of all people. If someone had told me when I first started the X Factora that I would be serenaded by Niall on a stage with hundreds of people watching I would have laughed right in their face and directed them right to the psychiatric ward. Now I actually am dancing with Niall, him singing to me. I have my hands wrapped around his neck and we slow-dance to his voice. When the song ends he turns to the audience, takes a bow, and turns back to me saying "Evelyn I love you a ton and I regret that I had not done this six years ago but I was too young," he kneels down on one knee and continues, "Evelyn Smith, I want to spend my whole life with you. I want to grow old with you and hold you through all our hardships. Will you marry me?" He pulls out a beautiful diamond ring and holds it out. I muster all the strength I have to not scream and say with a big grin on my face "Of course, of course." He picks me up twirling me around and planting a kiss on my lips.

Niall's POV

I think I just made the best decision of my life. Now that the scariest part known as the proposal is over everything else is going to be relatively easy except telling our parents. My parents are going to be very happy but Evelyn's parents might be a little more resistant. Whatever happens from now we'll be there for each other.
