Still The One (Niall Horan)

Chapter 31

*Sofia's P.O.V.*

"Fuck." I muttered under my breath.

"I know." Niall whispered back. "Mark what do we do?" Niall asked him as he came closer to us.

"It's only 5 girls N." I told him.

"I'll approach them." 

"I'll come with you." Mark offered and I watched them both approach the girls. I could hear them squealing all the way from where I was. I crossed my fingers hoping they wouldn't draw any more attention to Niall. As Niall was taking pictures with the fans more people started to approach him and pretty soon it was a group of thirty people surrounding him. Shit. And we were stranded on an island, which wasn't ideal at all. Niall turned to look at me, and panic was evident in his eyes, there was no where to run to. I decided to look for a security guard on the island and I found one a few meters away, he wasn't even looking towards Niall so he had no idea of what was going on.

"Hi, excuse me.." I started speaking as the officer turned around.

"Can I help you?" He asked and then turned to look at the commotion behind me, there were even more people surrounding Niall and Mark now.

"Yeah." I nervously laughed. "My boyfriend is in there." I pointed towards them. "And we were wondering if there's another way off the island, because if we get on the ferry people are going to follow him and we don't want to cause trouble in the ferry." I explained, to be honest, I didn't even care about casing trouble on the ferry, I just didn't want us to be trapped there with no way to escape.

"Of course Miss." He replied before he started talking on the radio. About a minute later he told me "The coast guard is on its way, they'll escort you off the island."

"Oh thank you so much!" I exclaimed. 

"No problem miss. If you don't mind me asking, who's in the middle of all of this commotion?"

"Not at all. It's Niall Horan, from One Direction." I replied.

"Oh, I see. That's why there's a bunch of people there."

"Yeah." I laughed along with the officer.

"Well the boat is 5 minutes away, so we should probably get going to the boarding area."

"Of course, let me tell them." I answered before heading towards the mob. I waved my hands around trying to get Mark's attention, and it took me about 30 seconds until he finally turned to look my way. "I've secured transport." I practically yelled at him. He nodded at me and turned towards Niall to tell him, before escorting him through the sea of people that had gathered around him.I could hear the people calling his name and telling him not to go, but it was getting pretty crazy, we needed to get him out of there before it got worse.

Niall and Mark finally made their way over to where the security guard and I were standing.

"Thank you." Niall smiled at both of us as we saw a few other guards containing the fans so that they wouldn't follow us.

"No problem at all sir." The guard responded. "Right on time." He stated as we saw the coast guard boat approach.

"You got the coast guard to escort us?" Niall whispered to me, laughing.

"I was scared for you." I answered him honestly.

"Well thank you petal."

"No problem babe." I smiled at him before we boarded the boat, and were escorted back to safety. "You know what this reminds me of?" 

"What?" Niall asked.

"The midnight memories music video, in which supposedly you stole a boat."

"I remember that. It was so fun shooting it. It was right Mark?"

"Well fun for you. I had to baby sit all of your asses." He replied as we all laughed. 

Niall handed out autographs and took pictures with the the three guards who helped us get off from Liberty Island. God knows that without their help Niall wouldn't have made it out of there alive. 

"Where to now?" Niall asked me once we were back on firm land.

"I think we're done with sightseeing for today don't you think?" I laughed.

"We are." Mark answered for him before he even had a chance, or as he would say, chonce, to respond. Then he opened the door to the car for us before hoping in the passenger seat with the driver, leaving me and Niall alone in the backseat.

"We should head back to the hotel to see if the boys are alive."

"Oh my god, I had forgotten about that!" I exclaimed. "The girls were so pissed last night, they kept talking about different ways they could kill their boyfriends."

"Well, let's hope they didn't go through with it."

"Yeah, it would be horrible for One Direction to split again, I don't even know if my heart could take it."

"I'd be there to glue the pieces back together." Niall replied.

"And that's the songwriter in you speaking."

"That would be a great line wouldn't it?" He took his phone out and opened the notes app. I was so used to this by now, whenever he had an idea for a song, he'd whip out his phone and write it down, no matter where we were. And that's just one of the million things I love about him. Watching his face as he concentrates on writing the line and searching his mind for any potential rhymes to it. He even squints a little bit while thinking and when he finally finds a word that rhymes his eyes will lit up as he writes it down.

"What?" He asked, me snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Nothing."

"You were staring at me."

"You looked adorable, and I can't help it. I keep falling in love with you every time I look at you, and I know it might sound cheesy and clingy but it's true. And each time I fall harder than the last." I admitted.

"Come 'ere petal." Niall inched towards me and seconds later he pressed his lips to mine. Everything that I had said was true, and I knew he was the love of my life. I know he isn't perfect, and I'm not either, but there's one thing I'm sure of, we're perfect for one another.
