Bree’s POV

“Would you like to be my girlfriend?” He asks, and my eyes go wide in surprise.

I knew that we both liked each other, but honestly, I never thought of when this day would come. I just couldn’t imagine it, but now it was the time. Niall was waiting for my answer. I got a bit scared when he gave his little speech, getting worried of what the question might be, but now it makes sense. Niall really likes me, and I really like him too. I know that sometimes you shouldn’t believe in everything boys say to you, I mean, I say it from experience, but with Niall… with Niall is different. Something tells me that he’s not like the others, and it makes happy.

“Bree,” He says, calling my attention.

“Huh?”

“So,”

“Oh,” I say, shaking my head later, getting rid of all the thoughts running through my head.

“No, you don’t want to? It’s fine, it’s—”

“No, no, Niall. It’s not that,” I say, giggling. “I’d love to be your girlfriend,” I finally say, and the grin that appears in his face is so big and so contagious that it makes me grin as well.

“Really?” He says, as if my answer was something that would never happened.

I giggle. “Yes!” I exclaim.

He smiles and leans in closer, cupping my face and planting a soft and quick kiss on my lips. “Good,” He says. “Honestly, it wouldn’t have been fine if you said no,” He says, making me laugh. But then I start thinking. Niall and I are going to spend a lot of time together. What if this doesn’t work out? What do we do next? If we break up, seeing each other all the time will not be good. It will be awkward. I snap out of my thoughts as I see him frown at me. “What are you thinking about?” He asks.

“Niall, what if… what if this doesn’t work out?” I ask honestly.

“What makes you think that it won’t work out?” He asks, and I think about it, shrugging later.

“I don’t know, but if we do break up, seeing each other every day is going to be kind of awkward, don’t you think?”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right, but I think that right now we don’t have to worry about anything,” He says. “We’ll make this work,” He assures me. I smile and nod, gaining another kiss from him after.

“We will,” I reply.

.

After walking around a little bit, Niall and I came back to the hotel. It was only 3:00 pm, so we still had time for ourselves. After Niall said hi to a few fans, we walk to the lobby and thanked Preston before going up to Niall’s room. I sat down on the couch as I waited for him to join me, but he went to the bathroom first. Meanwhile, I decided to check twitter and facebook.

On facebook I had a few notifications from my friends, asking how I was doing and all that stuff. After replying, I logged out and went to twitter. I see that I have more followers and more mentions. I let out a shaky breath before I can start reading them. I know how One Direction fans can be, and I really don’t want to be hated by people who don’t even know me. Surprisingly, most of them are nice comments, just saying how lucky I am to be on tour with the most famous boy band on earth. Some others say that I’m really pretty, do I decide to reply to some of them. Of course that I have the hate comments. You can never stop those, but I’m glad that there are not much.

“What’s wrong?” Niall interrupts my thoughts as he sits down by my side. Just then I realize that I’m frowning.

“Oh,” I say, “Uhm, nothing,” I reply, putting my phone away.

“Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything, right?” He insist, and I let out a sigh.

“Yeah, it’s just that your fans can be… really honest,” I say, not knowing how to say it.

Now it’s his turn to frown. “What do you mean?” He asks.

“Well, I’m already starting to get hate comments on twitter,” I finally say and he lets out a sigh.

“Are there a lot?” He asks.

I shake my head. “But still, it makes me feel bad.”

He gives me the smallest smile and then leans in to plant a soft kiss on my forehead. “Don’t worry, everything is going to be fine,” He says, pulling out his phone after. I look over his shoulder and see he opens his twitter app, typing a new tweet immediately.

@NiallOfficial: Please stop sending hate to @Bree_Williams! She’s an awesome girl and doesn’t deserve the hate she gets. Nobody does! #StopTheHate

And then he hits Tweet.

“Thanks,” I smile up at him. He returns the smile and leans in, planting a peck on my lips.

“Anything for you, babe,” He replies. “Now, let’s forget about this, shall we? What would you like to do?”

I shrug. “I don’t know. What do you want to do?” And a smirk appears on his face.

“Are you sure you want to leave it to me?” He asks. “I don’t have a problem, but maybe you will,” he says, and at first I’m confused, but then I understand what he means.

“Why would I have a problem with it?” I ask, getting closer to him. I know he’s flirting with me, but two can play the same game.

“Well, maybe you don’t want to do the same thing as me.”

“And what is that?” I ask, fighting a smile.

“It’s something like this,” He says kissing my right cheek. “And this,” he says, kissing my other cheek. I knew this was his idea, and I chuckle knowing that I was right. “Or this,” he continues, kissing the tip of my nose.

“Is that all you’ve got?” I ask, teasing him.

He laughs. “Hold on, I’m getting there,” He replies, and without saying another word, he connects his lips to mine. I smile into the kiss, making him smile as well. We keep on kissing, lips moving in sync, until air is necessary. He pecks my lips lightly before pulling away completely. I smile at him and he returns it gladly. “Bree, have you ever kissed anyone before?” He asks, her eyes narrowing a bit, and at that my smiles fade. To be honest, the first time I kissed someone was when I kissed Niall back in his flat. If Matt was interested in me, he would have been my first kiss, but then I saw him kissing that other girl. I know that I acted pretty chill when it came to kissing Niall, but it all came so natural and it happened so quickly that I didn’t get nervous, or was worried that I was going to do it wrong. But now that he’s asking me that, maybe it is obvious that I haven’t done it before. Maybe I’ve done it wrong all this time. Oh my God.

I look down and shake my head, and I can feel my cheeks burning up already. “Please don’t tell me that I’ve done it wrong all this time because that would be the most embarrassing thing ever,” I admit. Yup, I’m honest with what I think. What’s the point on hiding it anyways? My parents always taught me that it’s okay to show how or what you feel, and it something I’ve always done.

“No, no,” He says quickly, grabbing my chin lightly and pulling my face up so I can see him. Just then I can see he has one of his beautiful smiles plastered on his lips. “You’re doing it perfectly fine,” He says. “I asked because of that same reason. Seriously Bree,” He says, this time cupping my face, and caressing my cheeks lightly with his thumbs. “I can’t get enough of your kisses.”

I roll my eyes playfully. “You’re just saying that,” I say, making him chuckle.

“No, really. I’m addicted to them,” He says, pecking my lips later. “And to you,” He adds. I smile at him and then lean in, giving him a passionate, yet gentle kiss. But our moment is interrupted by his phone ringing. “Really?” he mutters, pulling away slightly, our lips still brushing.

I giggle. “Go get it,” I say. He stands up and walks towards the table he had put his phone before. A big smile soon appears on his face when he sees whose calling. I wonder who it is, but my question is answered when he finally speaks into the phone.

“Hi mum,” He says, walking away from the small living room. I let out a sigh and lie down on the quite small couch. Just then I realize that I really haven’t been thinking about my family. Being with all the boys keeps me distracted, especially Niall. I guess it’s good in a good way, but I feel bad because I feel like if I’m not giving them any importance, which is not true. I still miss them like crazy, but I have to remind myself what Niall told me. Only time will heal it.

I still get sad, it’s something I still can’t help it. Knowing that I will never get a call from my mom or from my dad asking if I’m okay, or how my day is going. Knowing that I don’t have my baby brother asking me to play with him or hearing him say, “I luff you, Bwee!” Knowing that I won’t get to have another family day, not even family dinner where I got to listen to all the lame jokes my dad made that I’m starting to miss a lot. I let out a shaky breath and just then I notice that tears are falling from my eyes. I hate this. I hate that this happened to me.

“Bree, are you okay?” An Irish voice asks. I quickly sit up and clean my tears, sniffling after.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” I say, faking a smile.

“No, you’re not,” He says, sitting by my side and wrapping his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer. “What happened?”

I shake my head and stay silent for a while. I don’t know how to tell him. I don’t like talking about this anymore because I feel like I’m getting them bored with it. I think like it’s enough of me and my problems. “How’s your mom?” I ask after a while, and apparently that said it all. He pulls away and looks at me directly in the eyes.

“I’m so sorry, Bree,” He says in a whisper, pulling me in a hug. “I didn’t realize,” He continues, finally understanding what had happened. “I… I—”

“Its fine,” I say, hugging him tighter. “It’s not your fault.” But he keeps on apologizing. He pulls me to his chest and slowly run his hand up and down my back, kissing my head every now and then. When he’s finally done apologizing, he continues to whisper sweet things in my ear, somehow making me happy. His kisses at the top of my head make me feel protected and secure from the rest of the world. His hand running up and down my back gives me chills and makes me feel good. Somehow, Niall is making me feel better. Not only right now, but somehow he’s starting to heal all my wounds.

Niall is starting to save me.
