"Hey, sweetie. How are you feeling?" Niall asks me, slowly walking into the room with a tray in his hands. I try my best to smile at him, and he walks in.

I spent the night in Niall's room after the horrible break up with Harry. He helped settled me down so I could comfortably fall asleep after we left the club early. He offered to let me stay in his room for the last few days I was in London.

He placed the tray down on my lap as I sat up. An array of wonderful smells drifting to my nose, and he sat down next to me, grabbing his laptop and checking twitter.

"Thank you, Niall," I say quietly, a smile growing on my lips. I took a bite of the blueberry pancakes and sipped the coffee. It was absolutely delicious.

"It's no problem," he said, meeting my smile.

"No really. Not just for last night, but for everything. From the very first time I met you in the hospital, you were always there for me. Every fight with Harry, every bad day, you were there. Don't get me wrong, the other boys were there for me too, but you were always one step ahead of them. I want to thank you so much for that," I said.

He engulfed me in a hug, my smile growing.

"When I first saw you faint in Harry's arms at the signing, an instinct kicked in. At first, I thought I had liked you. But the more I hung out around you, the more I realized that it wasn't that I was feeling. You're like the little sister I never had. I love you, Dani, but in a brother sister way," Niall explained.

I totally agreed with him. I always looked up to him in an older brother way, as I did with the rest, but the relationship I had with him was special.

"I can't believe you're already going to leave tomorrow. Then we go back on tour, you have school, do you even have plans for university?"

"I was actually going to tell Harry this yesterday, but I never had the chance to tell him. I took night school and weekend classes this semester in order to graduate early. All I have to do is take some university entry exams and I'll be done with high school," I say excitedly.

"And where I'm going to school? Well, I applied to the University of London and a couple of other universities around here," I gush. I couldn't contain my excitement. Although I originally wanted tell Harry first, some things change for the better, I guess.

"I originally did it to be closer to Harry. Double school a day, Saturday schools, basically no social life, all so I could be with him." I shook my head, my smile fading.

"Hey, you worked hard, you should be proud of yourself. I know I am. If you do go there, I'll be happy to have you closer to us," Niall said, smiling widely. "We have an interview today, but we'll be back before four. Then we can spend your last day here having fun," he said, getting up from the bed. I got up as well, giving him a hug goodbye.

"Say hi to everyone for me," I called.

Niall's P.O.V

"Harry, please tell me why." I confronted Harry after our interview with a radio host.

"Why, what?" he asked, acting innocent.

"You know what. Why the hell would you promise Daniella you're all in, give her that necklace, and then break her heart on New Years?"

"Can we not talk about this here," Harry muttered, noticing how people were starting to stare.

I shook my head, knowing this wasn't going to be over.

"I'm going out. Meet you guys at the house," he called over the shoulder as he walked out.

I rolled my eyes and headed to the house with the rest of the boys. Daniella texted me and said she wanted to stay in and watch movies as a group. I could tell she was still heartbroken over Harry. Now it's mine and the boys job to fix it.
