A Happily Never After (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Skype Calls and Fame

"Let's go Lennon, the plane is boarding!" Emma yelled.

I took one last look at Ireland and boarded the plane.

Thankfully, Emma sat next to Matt, and Ricky was a few rows back so there were no awkward moments. Emma and I talked the whole ride about her boyfriend, Connor. I could tell that Matt was listening in the whole time for any mention of Niall even though he seemed to be listening to music. I was well aware and made sure I did not mention him once, I think Emma caught on.

Connor, in case you were wondering, seemed quite nice. He was about to attend college in New York which was good for Emma who was also going to be attending college in New York in the fall. No long distance relationships there. He was attening Columbia, which meant that he was smart, and he was very athletic, not to mention cute. I approve, Emma!

When we finally got off of the plane and drove home, I ran up to my room, grabbing my computer and logging into my Skype. I found Niall's username and added him as a friend. He was online! *cue the squeal* I immediately called him and within one ring, I saw Niall's perfect, welcoming face greeting me.

"Hello beautiful!" he said.

I grinned ever so widely as Niall laughed.

"Hey Ni."

"How was your flight?"

"Eh, I hate flying so it was okay, just a little nervewracking."

"Well you have nothing to worry about, love."

These nicknames were killing me.

We talked for several more HOURS. It was crazy how long we could talk. By the time we were done, it was almost 5 in the morning in Ireland.

"Bye, Niall!" I sadly told him, looking into the camera.

"Bye Lennon. I miss you already!"

I smiled and ended the call.

Over the next months, Niall and I talked almost every day, aside from the days when he was performing on X-Factor. I, fortunately, found a link online that allowed me to watch the UK X-Factor in America. Niall was incredible and I could not believe how talented he really was. At the end of bootcamp, unfortunately, Niall was eliminated. Seeing him cry made me want to cry too. I could not believe it when Simon Cowell put him in a boy group with four other guys. I was so proud. When they made it onto the live shows, I watched them every week up until the point when the world found out that they had come in third. Yes, I was sad for Niall, but he made it so far and I was so proud of him.

In the winter of 2011, the boys were starting to get hugely popular. They opened for the band Big Time Rush on their tour, and they had even come out with their own album. In December, I found out that the college I would be attending the next fall was having a summer-long program in Ireland, England, and Scotland for archaeology. I could not wait to tell Niall and he was so thrilled that we would be able to hang out for most of the summer.

Emma was in her second year of college and her relationship with Connor was still going strong. To be perfectly honest, I did not expect her to still be dating him considering ONE, she was in college and TWO, she was not the long-term relationship kind of girl. Our whole family loved him, nevertheless, and Emma thought that he could be the one... AHHH!

--------------------------------------------------

Niall and I, I guess, where in some type of non-spoken relationship and we continually talked every night. Somehow, I never met the boys over our Skype conversations, but I think Niall did that on purpose for whatever reason.

We kept talking about meeting up in America for a few days when he was in my area. He was set to be in my area around March. I was squealing every day up to it. I was so excited to see Niall again, in person. It had been almost two years and it was about ONE week away! This couldn't be real. But,

Who knew one night could ruin everything?

A/N Sorry if that chapter was confusing but I basically had to compress two years. The next chapter has DRAMA! Vote and comment please :)
