Niall Horan Fanfic Chapter 25: Wouldn’t Change a Thing
“Hazel, it’s nothing permanent, like I’m not proposing, but I was just wondering if you ever thought about us like getting married?” he said really fast.
    I still didn’t know what to say. I was in complete shock.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to throw that at you like this. I should have waited.” He said looking at the ground.
“No.” I said finally.
“No what?” he asked nervously.
“No you shouldn’t have waited.” I said.
“So? Have you thought about it?” he asked.
“Yeah, a lot actually. I never said anything, cause I didn’t know if we were on the same page.” I said smiling at him.
“I think we are.” He said.
“Me too.” I laughed.
    Niall looked at me for a really long time. I can’t believe he actually thought of marrying me. It was crazy. I could not be the person Niall James Horan wanted to spend the rest of his life with, but I guess I was.
“But, when you propose, it better be romantic. Like sky writing or fireworks or something big.” I joked.
“And here I was thinking you were simple.” He said kissing me lightly.
“I was kidding. However you do it, I’ll love.” I said.
“Good, but for now I have something for you.” He said pulling out a small box from his pocket.
“What is that?” I said getting nervous.
    Did he already have an engagement ring? Man this boy was ten steps ahead.
“Don’t worry,” he said, “It’s a promise ring.”
“A who?” I said, I sort of lived under a rock.
“A promise ring…man you’re slow. It’s like a promise that we’ll be together forever, but not a serious as an engagement ring.” He said smiling.
“Well why are you smiling at me? Put that thing on my finger and kiss me!” I squealed.
“You’re bossy.” He said while placing the ring on my finger.
“I love you Niall.” I said.
“I love you too muffin.” He laughed.
“I hate pet names.” I said making a gagging noise.
“I know that’s why I said it.” He said grabbing my hand.
    We laid down on the beach and watched the sunset. I rested my head on Niall’s chest and listened to him breathing, as he stroked my hair. I loved being with him like this.
“Babe?” he said.
“Yeah?” I answered.
“I hate to ruin the moment, but I need to go back to Ireland soon.” He said.
“So you decide to tell me now?” I asked getting upset.
“I know, I’m really sorry, but I haven’t been home for a long time, and I miss it.” He said.
“Yeah, I know.” I said.
“I’m going to miss you.” He said.
“When are you leaving?” I asked.
“Tomorrow afternoon.” He mumbled.
“What!? And you didn’t think that was something important to mention?” I said getting mad.
“Hazel, please don’t be mad. I was going to tell you sooner but with all the fighting with Ally’s parents I didn’t want to hurt you, and then tonight, I didn’t know how to bring it up, and I needed to tell you before tomorrow, I just…it’s messed up now.” He said looking sad.
“Yeah well maybe you should have thought it through more.” I said turning away from him.
“Hazel please.” He said.
“Just leave me alone. Take you and your stupid promise ring back to Ireland and leave me alone.” I said letting a tear roll down my cheek.
“Hazel…” Niall said desperately.
“Just take me home.” I said.
    We walked to the car and he drove me home in silence. He pulled up to my house, and I was about to get out of the car. Niall grabbed my arm and stopped me.
“What?” I snapped at him.
“Why are you so mad at me?” he said.
“You should have told me sooner.” I said.
“I didn’t know how.” He said.
“Yeah well that’s not my problem.” I said.
“Do you not remember what we just talked about?” he asked me.
“Yeah, I do.” I said.
“We were talking about getting married. You said you would marry me Hazel. I gave you a promise ring, and over one stupid little thing you ripped it off and told me to get out of your life. How is that supposed to make me feel?” he said.
“Niall it’s not a stupid little thing! It’s a big thing. You are going to leave and go to another country on another continent, without me. You easily leave me all the time. Like I’m that disposable.” I said crying.
“You’re not disposable Hazel! I want to marry you. I want to be with you forever. That’s not a small thing. I want you and me to be together forever.” He said sounding really hurt.
“I hate you.” I said.
“What?” Niall said.
“You make me love you too much Niall. I need you too much.” I said burying my face in my hands.
“Babe, please just forgive me. I’m so, so sorry about not telling you sooner. I didn’t know it would hurt you this much. Just please don’t be mad at me anymore. I hate fighting with you.” He said.
“I love you Niall.” I said grabbing him and pulling him into a hug.
“I love you so much.” He said.
“Can I have it back?” I said.
“Of course.” He said placing the ring back on my finger.
“I’m sorry for flipping out.” I said.
“It’s okay.” He said.
“No, no it’s not. I said ‘I hate you’ that was terrible. I didn’t mean it like that. I just hate that I need you so much.” I said.
“Don’t worry about it.” He said.
“I don’t want you to leave.” I said.
“Trust me; I don’t want to leave either. Will you come with me?” he said.
“I don’t want to invade your family time.” I said.
“You are my family Hazel, my mom will love to see you and I don’t want to leave you.” He said.
“Niall…” I said.
“No Hazel, you’re coming with me, and that’s final.” He said.
“Fine,” I said, “but now you need to come in and help me pack.”
“Cool.” He laughed.
    We got out of the car and went into my house. No one was home. No one ever was. We went up to my room and pulled my suitcases from the closet. I opened my draws and dumped everything out. Niall neatly folded everything and placed it in my suitcase. He was the neat one in the relationship.
    Once we finished packing my stuff we went and sat on the couch. Niall turned on the T.V. I sat down on his lap and he started rocking me back and forth.
“I want to marry you.” He said.
“In time.” I said.
“No now.” He whined.
“You’re crazy.” I said.
“Crazy in love with you.” He cooed at me.
“You need sleep.” I said.
“No I need to marry you.” He said.
“You are too mushy.” I laughed ruffling his hair.
“You are too beautiful.” He said rubbing circles on my cheek with his thumb.
“Go home.” I said.
“Come with me?” he asked.
“Fine.” I said.
    He ran upstairs and grabbed my suitcases, then took them out to the car. Then he came back in and scooped me up and carried me to the car. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the way to his hotel.
“Hazel wake up.” Niall said shaking me.
“Whhaattt?” I said groggily.
“You need to walk into the hotel if I carry your suitcases.” He laughed.
“Piggy back me.” I said.
“Ok hop on.” He said.
    I climbed up onto his back and he carried me and my stuff into the hotel. We got in the elevator and went upstairs. When we got to his room he couldn’t grab his key because he was holding too much.
“Reach into my left front pocket and grab it.” He said.
“I refuse to reach into your pants.” I said resting my head on his shoulder.
“Hazel stop acting like a five year old and get the key.” He said.
“You forgot the please.” I said to test his patience.
“Please get the key.” He said.
“Ok, but only because I love you.” I said.
    We finally got into the hotel room and he placed me on the bed. I laid down and was so close to falling asleep, but Niall kept banging draws and turning lights on and off, while he was packing his stuff.
“Are you almost done?” I laughed.
“Done!” he shouted jumping onto the bed with me.
“Can we snuggle?” I said.
“Yes of course princess.” He said kissing me.
    I rested my head on his chest and he twirled my hair around his fingers.
“Night.” I said.
“Goodnight.” He said kissing my forehead.
“I love you.” I whispered.
“I love you too.” He said.
