'Hey babe, you done with class yet?'

Right as your professor dismisses you, you look down to see a text from Niall. You smile, knowing that he's outside waiting for you in the parking lot.

'Yup, just got dismissed. Be down in a sec x.'

You hurriedly put your things in your bag and rush out of the classroom. You exit the college and search the university's parking lot for your boyfriend, quickly spotting him. You open your mouth, about to call out to him, but quickly shut up-you don't want to draw attention to him.

You and Niall have been dating for five months and you still weren't used to the fact that he was in a very famous boyband.

You rush over to Niall in silence and he grins when he spots you. You greet each other with a kiss and Niall, as always, asks how your day was.

"It was good," you begin. "I-"

Suddenly, you're interrupted by a group of giggling girls who come up to the two of you. They all point and laugh at you.

"Hey look! Niall Horan is here with Sarah the Slut! Get away from him bitch, we all know that 'Narah' or whatever the hell your ship name is, is just for publicity!" one ugly girl, with orange looking tanned skin and obviously fake extensions, exclaims.

"Yeah! Why don't you just-"however, before another girl can say anything, Niall steps in. He glares at the group of girls.

"Get the hell away from my girlfriend! I love her and it's obvious that you're just a bunch of bratty girls who are jealous." he spits out, leaving the group of girls in shock.

You're shocked too.

Did Niall just say that he...loves you?

Niall flips off the group of girls, which causes you to giggle. Luckily, the dispute didn't capture that much attention and the two of you get into Niall's car without any problems. The girls who had insulted you are stunned into silence in the parking lot.

The two if you are well off of campus property when you finally turn to face him and break the silence. "Niall?"

"Yeah babe?" He smiles and looks at you.

"Did...did you mean it?"

"Mean what?"

"When you said that you...l-loved you."

He smiles gently at you and grabs your hand. "Of course I meant it, Sarah."

You grin at him and squeeze his hand.

"I love you too."
