Y/N: (your name)
The bartender sighed as he carefully lifted Niall's arms to clean the counter, he felt bad for the guy who seemed to come to the pub every single night, the past six months, drowning his pain and grieve away. It was the usual Friday night, Niall shifts his position as he groaned waking up from his deep slumber, rubbing his eyes forcefully as he sits up properly. He had bloodshot eyes and some bags underneath it, he hasn't sleep since which explains why. The bartender looked at him sympathetically, as Niall just smiled at him, asking for another drink. But before that could happen, a ding on the bell was heard as the glass door was open, four guys coming in.

"That's enough Niall" Liam grabs his hands as Niall tries to chug down another beer, Harry grabbing the glass bottle and giving it back to the man. "We're going home"

"Thank you for watching over him"

"It's no problem, sir. But I hope you all won't take this in a harsh way, but what happened? Why does he keep coming back to the pub?"

"It's alright, um, his girlfriend of four years died in a car crash five months ago. They said it was because of a drunken driver, he has been coping well the first month, but the next two he couldn't handle it anymore. Soo here he is" he let out a soft chuckle before the man looked down sadly

"I'm so sorry for your lost" he smiled as he walked away. They tried pulling Niall out but he would just go back in and have another shot, the boys couldn't help but feel sorry for their mate, it isn't easy for a guy to move on from a girl whom he planned on proposing the next day.

Yes, Niall planned on proposing to you the next day after your accident, he cried the whole time when you were in the Emergency Room, he held your hand until your very last breath, the doctors said you were in a critical condition and their was no possible way for you to survive that crash, loosing a lot of blood.

"Niall! I said enough, quit being an arse, drinking all your sorrows away won't bring Y/N back!" Liam finally shouted, Niall looked at him dead in the eye, but he couldn't handle the pain, letting a tear slip from his eye as it continued to a sob. They comforted him, knowing he was vulnerable at the moment and really broken.

The trip back to the house was silent, silent enough for them to hear the soft noise created by the AC. As they reached the house, Niall was the first to jump out of the car, he struggled to open the front door, Zayn quickly helping him open as he abruptly pushed Zayn hard for him to fall on the ground, he looked at Zayn, helping him stand up before mumbling a small sorry before he continued going to his room.

Locking the door as he sat on the chair near his desk, letting out the remaining tears he had left. He was a complete wreck without you, you were his life, the only reason to live. The only girl he loved the past four years and was harshly taken away by a stupid drunken driver. He blames himself, you had a small disagreement with each other and you wanted to head to your parents house that night and unfortunately that night, you also died. If he hadn't been a dick, maybe you're still alive. Was all Niall would repeat in his mind.

But you can't undo was has been done, now he had to face the consequences of his arrogance.

"Niall?" A soft knock was heard on the door, Louis. Louis was the lovable one, he comforted Niall the past five months, he treated him more than he deserved. He couldn't shut Louis out, cause one way or another, that little shit can still find a way to his room. So wiping his tears away as he got up, opening the door to a sympathetically looking Louis who was holding a camera in his hands. He let him in, sitting on his bed.

"Niall. Y/N wanted me to give you this" he handed the camera to Niall, him noticing the initials written on the strap, Y/N Y/L/N. "She said to give it to you on your 5th year anniversary, well I guessed it was today, isn't it?"

Niall thought for a good minute before remembering it really was, he now tear up, he only put his focus on drinking and making his life a misery, that he forgot about today. Cursing under his breath as looks at Louis who just pats his back as he went out the door, closing it behind him.

Niall goes to his desk and sits on the chair before opening the camera, which only had one thing to watch, the preview had you sitting there, smiling. He smiled too, wondering if he'll ever see that smile again, maybe never in fact.

"Hey Niall! So I wanted to make this little greeting for you for our anniversary, I know it sounds cheesy but I hope you'll like it." He chuckled at your sudden words. "So yeah, first I wanna start off by saying thank you. Thank you for always being there for me, taking care of me whenever I felt sick"

"Honestly I remember how we first met and it was the most embarrassing thing ever" Niall shook his head as he laughed, remembering how you spilled coffee on his white shirt, surely it was embarrassing but Niall found it a great way to get to know you better, so he took you out instead of letting you buy a new shirt.

"To be honest, that was my favourite moment with you- I do have a lot of nice memories with you, like how you awfully stole my food. But our first meeting was my favourite, it's like bumping into that person and realising your one true love is right in front of you. I'm sure they had a term for that, erm uh, yeah love at first sight" He continued to watch the video, before he noticed himself come into the frame. "Oh look, your here"

"Hey babe! Watcha doin?" Niall in the video asked you, wrapping his arms around your waist as he places his head on the crook of your neck.

"A little greeting for you that I want you to watch in the future" Niall smiled. "Oh yeah babe, can you tell your future self not to worry about me so much?"

"Hey future Niall! No need to worry about our Y/N over here, she's perfectly fine and she's always safe, with us" Niall goes furious

"You wish, you bastard. She's dead because of us"

"Anyway love, I need to get going. I'm gonna head to the studio, stay safe babe!" And those were the last words that Niall in the video said before he disappeared into the other room.

"Going back, you have taught me so much, things that I have worried about growing up. Thank you for teaching me that you need to be carefree and not worry too much about what other think. Don't be afraid to be yourself and to let others know how important they are. I love you so fucking much that it hurts" Niall smiled as he wiped a tear from his eye

"There are a lot of life lessons you and the other boys taught me that I can't seem to find words to put in and always know I love every single one of you. You are the best boyfriend I could ever ask for, Niall. Nothing could ever change the way I look at you, not your fame, your fans or your job. The real boy that I loved, was the boy who grew up in Mullingar and who loves stealing my food"

"I also planned on buying you something for our 5th year anniversary, but I found out something two weeks ago and I'm pretty sure, you'll like it. But still ain't sure if your gonna love it though"

"I always loved everything that you gave me, big or small, from you. I'll love it endlessly" Niall muttered as the video continued.

"So I've hidden something underneath your bed, it's a small box. I hope you'll be happy when you open it, so this is the end of my little video for you. I always love you Niall! Never forget that!" You blew a kiss to the camera as Niall shuts it close, crouching down to reach something under his bed, to his surprise was actually there.

Just as expected it was a small box, grabbing it as he set in down on his desk. Opening it, it was filled with wrapping paper, removing it as it contained another smaller rectangular box. He hurriedly open it, but when he knew what was inside of it, his world suddenly started to spin, he felt like a million of knives were being stabbed into his heart. He dropped the item as he fell back into his seat, still shocked, but tears suddenly began falling from his eyes as he began sobbing.

He picked up the paper that was also inside the rectangular box as he started processing the words scribbled on it. But that just lead into another heartbreak, he now blames himself again. His knees were pressed against his chest as he stared at the paper once again, sobbing.

"Congratulations babe, you're a dad!"

Only you could fill this EMPTY SPACE
