Loved You First (Sequel to Simon's Daughter)
Chapter 16
Julia’s POV:
“Julia hurry up!” I heard Matt’s voice call from the living room. He decided to spend the night since it was getting late, anyways.
“I’m coming!” I called back to him. I finished covering up my hickey from Niall yesterday, and exited my bedroom, seeing the others already in the living room (outfit).
“Mommy you look so pretty!” Lexi smiled widely and hugged my leg.
“Aw, thanks baby. You look prettier, though!” I smiled, kissing the top of her head (Lexi’s outfit).
“Everyone ready?” Christa asked with an excited smile. We all nodded our heads and exited the house.
-
“Did Zayn or Harry text you the information and what not?” I asked, once we all got out of the car. She pulled out her phone and checked for any messages.
“Yeah, he said that Paul would be waiting for us at—“
“You’re finally here!” Paul smiled at us, and we waved. He motioned for us to follow him, and we did. It was a pretty crowded place, and I held on to Lexi as tight as I could so I didn’t lose her. It took us a while, but we finally made it backstage to where the boys were.
“LIAM!” Lexi shouted, squirming out of my arms and running over to Liam. He smiled, picking her up and spinning her around causing her to giggle lightly. The rest of the boys hugged Christa and I, giving Matt those ‘boy handshakes’. They were all quiet, and looked like something was wrong with them.
“What’s up with you guys? You’re always so cheery, and hyper.” I laughed slightly before Harry decided to speak up.
“Well someone,” he pointed to Louis and rolled his eyes, “posted the picture of you, Niall, and Lexi on the couch last night on twitter.” I shrugged my shoulders, not realizing why they were so upset.
“So?” I asked a bit confused.
“So…now people are getting the hint that Lexi is—“ I cut Liam off, realizing what was about to come next. My eyes widened and I looked at Louis. He quickly backed away as if I was about to pounce on him. Lucky him, we were in public and I’m sure someone would have seen.
“But the only thing the fans are certain of is that Lexi is yours. You can really see the resemblance.” Louis said, earning a hit in the balls from Zayn.
“Oh my god…” I sighed, and looked down. “I’m guessing that’s why Niall isn’t here?”
“Actually Niall’s with—“
“Demi.” I rolled my eyes, and crossed my arms.
“Pfft, I’m sure not everybody saw it. You deleted it right?” Matt asked Louis.
“I did…but it was too late. People already saw the picture, and it was also…kind of…on the news this morning…” Louis scratched the back of his head guiltily. Zayn stood next to me and showed me his phone. The headline of the article read:
‘SIMON COWELL…GRANDFATHER?’
Could this have gotten any worse? I knew paparazzi would get out of hand, which is exactly why I wanted to keep Lexi away from all of this mess. I knew he didn’t mean to do this, but I wanted to punch Louis in the face so hard right now.
“So they don’t know about Lexi being Niall’s?” I asked. Liam was a few feet away from us distracting Lexi as we all sorted this out.
“No not exactly…but they think it’s either Niall’s or Liam’s.” Harry shrugged his shoulders.
“LIAM!? What does he have to do with any of this?” I asked, knitting my eyebrows together in confusion.
“Well a few weeks ago, Niall was with Liam and Lexi, and they were mobbed…the paparazzi snapped a few pictures of Liam carrying Lexi.” Zayn sighed.
“Hey lads—“ I turned around, seeing Niall walking with Demi. “What’s going on?” He looked a bit worried. Zayn showed him his phone, and Niall’s jaw dropped, and his eyes widened. He looked up at Louis and lunged forward, but luckily, Zayn and Harry held him back.
“Niall I’m sorry, mate. It was an accident!” Louis backed up a little more.
“WHAT THE FUCK, DUDE? WHY DIDN’T YOU THINK BEFORE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT? NOW SHE’S GOING TO BE EXPOSED TO THOSE DICKS. MY DAUGH—“ Harry quickly slapped a hand over Niall’s mouth not wanting the next word to come out.
“Niall, there are people here…” Demi tried saying to him.
“You have the nerve to be upset with Louis! Why the hell didn’t you tell me you got mobbed while with Lexi!? Louis was not the first to screw things up. You were!” I yelled at him and turned around, walking away.
Niall’s POV:
“Jules, wait!” I called out, but she just kept walking. Matt ran over to her, and they continued to walk away. I yanked myself out of Harry and Zayn’s grip. Louis’s head was down, and his hands were shoved in his pockets. I took a deep breath before going over to him, and hugging him.
“I’m sorry.” I said to him quietly. He hugged me back.
“Don’t be…this was all my fault.” Louis sighed and we both pulled out of the hug. I pat him on the back in assurance that he shouldn’t be upset. I went back over to Demi, and she held my hand, telling me it would be okay.
“Daddy!” I heard Lexi’s voice calling my name. I saw her run towards me with ice cream on her shirt and mouth. I smiled weakly at her picking her up.
“It looks like you got that ice cream on your shirt more than you did in your mouth.” I chuckled, kissing her cheek. “But I absolutely love your shirt.”
“Want some daddy?” She asked, holding the cone up to me. I shook my head, and she continued to lick it.
“I can’t. I have to go on stage soon, babe.” She nodded her head, and I set her back down.
“Where did mommy go?” She asked, holding Harry’s hand.
“She went with Uncle Matt to go…look around.” Christa smiled widely at Lexi, as she continued to lick her ice cream cone.
“You boys are up next.” The stage manager came up to us and we nodded our heads. Harry bent down to give Lexi a hug, and then followed Zayn and Louis to the stage. I sighed before, Liam wrapped his arm around my shoulder. He gave me an encouraging smile, before we followed the others onto the stage.
The crowd started getting louder as one by one, we all got onto the stage. We all waved, and I faked a smile even though deep down, I felt terrible. Liam started the first part of the song…
People say we shouldn’t be together. Too young to know about forever. But I say, they don’t know, what they’re talk-talk-talking about.
‘Cause this love is only getting stronger. So I don’t wanna wait, any longer. I just wanna tell the world that you’re mine, girl.
They don’t know about the things we do, they don’t know about the I love you’s. But I bet you if they only knew. They would just be jealous of us. They don’t know about the up all night’s. They don’t know I’ve waited all my life, just to find a love that feels this right. Baby they don’t know about, they don’t know about us.
Before it got to my part, I spotted Jules and Matt backstage playing around. The smile on her face was beautiful…I just wish it was me who was with her and not Matt. Yep, I was definitely jealous.
One touch, and I was a believer, every kiss gets a little sweeter.
It’s getting better, keeps getting better every time, girl.
They don’t know about the things we do, they don’t know about the I love you’s. But I bet you if they only knew. They would just be jealous of us. They don’t know about the up all night’s. They don’t know I’ve waited all my life, just to find a love that feels this right. Baby they don’t know about, they don’t know about us.
They don’t know how special you are, they don’t know what you’ve done to my heart. They can say anything they want, ‘cause they don’t know us.
They don’t know what we do best, it’s between me and you, our little secret.
But I wanna tell ‘em, I wanna tell the world that you’re mine, girl!
They don’t know about the things we do, they don’t know about the I love you’s. But I bet you if they only knew. They would just be jealous of us. They don’t know about the up all night’s. They don’t know I’ve waited all my life, just to find a love that feels this right. Baby they don’t know about, they don’t know about us.

They don’t know about us.
My ears were almost deafened by the sound of the fans cheering. I saw some people wiping away tears. I looked at the boys as they all smiled, and I smiled along with them. We waved one last time before exiting the stage. I saw Demi waiting for me, with a small smile.
“You guys were amazing.” She said, giving me a hug. I smiled weakly at her, hugging her back. “Can we talk?” She asked, leading us away from the others.
“What’s up?” I asked her, unsure of what she wanted to talk about.
“I know you still love her.” Demi bit her bottom lip, raising her eyebrows.
“What? No, I—“
“Niall, don’t try to pretend like you don’t. I saw the way you looked at her on stage. And I know she feels the same way about you, too. You guys were made for each other Niall. I think we’re better as friends.”
“Demi—“
“Goodbye, Niall.” She smiled genuinely at me, kissing my cheek. She then walked away in a direction I didn’t pay attention to.
“Next up, Demi Lovato!” I heard the announcer say, and the crowd go wild.
Our love runs deep like a Chevy, if you fall, I’ll fall with you baby. ‘Cause that’s the way you like to do I, that’s the way you like.
I heard her start the song, and I made my way towards the others. I tapped Julia on the shoulder, and she turned around facing me.
“Look, Niall—“ She began to say, but I cut her off, crashing my lips onto hers. Surprisingly, she didn’t pull back. Instead, she kissed me back, wrapping her arms around my neck. I closed the gap between us and spun her around, not breaking the kiss.
“Aww!” I heard Christa say.
“It’s about time.” I could hear Harry mutter. I pulled away from the kiss, my arms still wrapped around her waist.
“I love you Julia.”
No matter how far we go, I want the whole world to know. I want you bad, and I won’t have it any other way. No matter what the people say, I know that we’ll never break,
‘CAUSE OUR LOVE WAS MADE, MADE IN THE USA.
Without giving her time to respond, I kissed her soft lips again. Our lips moved perfectly in sync, and I slid my tongue over her bottom lip, allowing me entrance.
“Okay, okay we have a child around.” Liam finally broke our kiss. I pulled away, looking into her big brown eyes. She smiled at me cutely, as her cheeks began to form a rosy color.
“Hey, how about we give them some alone time…?” Louis butted in, talking to the others. My gaze never broke away from Julia’s as we just admired each other sweetly. It was silent between us, but not an uncomfortable silence.
“Ice cream!” Lexi shouted. I saw Harry picking her up from the corner of my eye, and the rest of the ‘gang’ went to go find some ice cream.
“Niall?” Julia finally broke the silence between us.
“Hm?”
“I love you too.”
“Julia hurry up!” I heard Matt’s voice call from the living room. He decided to spend the night since it was getting late, anyways.
“I’m coming!” I called back to him. I finished covering up my hickey from Niall yesterday, and exited my bedroom, seeing the others already in the living room (outfit).
