Sorry I'm Late (A Niall Horan One Shot)
***Play this song while you read*** . . . . Cindy’s POV~~
“Shit, shit, shit,” I chant as I run around my flat looking for my keys and my sheet music. Just my luck, One Direction asked me to write a song for them and I have lost all of the music I had written down; damn it.
“Oh screw it,” I say grabbing my keys off of the floor and rushing out the door. I tap my foot incredulously as I wait in the elevator to get to the lobby…from the 38th floor; today is not a good night. I am already 10 minutes late and I haven’t even gotten out of the building. A sigh of frustration, escapes my lips, tap tap tap… why is this elevator so slow. *ding* finally. The doors swing open and I adjust my jean as I stride to the parking garage. I hop into the driver’s seat of my Mercedes and start the engine. I start driving out of the garage. As I pull out into the open air, I am blinded by the intense flash of the swarm of paparazzi outside my building. Oh great; I’m late and I have to try and not hit one of these bastards. I pulled a hat over my face and drove in between the mob of cameras and fans, trying really hard not to hit anyone.
I got onto the highway and started driving to the studio where the boys are waiting for me.
After 15 minutes of driving I finally got to the Syco recording studios. I ran up the stairs, being too impatient to wait for an elevator and I walked into studio A where the boys were. I opened the door and all the eyes in the room went straight to me.
“I am so sorry everyone. I won’t be late again; I am so so sorry. I-“ Niall interrupted me.
“Cindy love, it’s ok. We were just goofing around anywhere, it alright. Don’t worry about it. I blushed a little and nodded.
“One more thing…” I started, getting a little nervous.
“Well…I kind of lost my sheet music, so I was thinking maybe we could write a new song together? It would be even better than me doing it by myself. We could all pitch in our ideas; what do you guys think?” They thought about it for a second.
“That sound like a gr-“ Zayn was saying when Niall cut him off,
“It sounds like a wonderful idea love,” he said giving me a wide smile. Zayn just looked at him and a smirk grew on his face. Oh no.
“Well,” Harry said “let’s get this thang started!” He said in hi valley girl accent.
“Ok well, what would you like the song to be about?” I asked them. They all started thinking silently to themselves until Niall spoke up. He looked me right in the eye.
“I think the song should be about love,” He said not breaking our eye contact. I blushed once again, for the third time today. I nodded in agreement, along with the other lads. So Niall wants a love song, that’s cool, it must be for Barbara. *sigh*
“Ok, I can go into the piano room and work on a melody while you guys work on lyrics; does that sound good?” I offered. They all nodded and huddled up together as I walked out of the room towards the pianos.
I sat down at a beautiful black, grand piano. I slid my finger across the smooth ivory white keys, making quiet notes. I started playing random chords to get inspiration. A love song…loves…love. Hmm…I can work with this… um I started pressing lightly on the keys as noted flooded my ears. Then it hit me like a brick, perfect. I played an F G Am F G chord. Wow that sounds beautiful. I just played that chord over and over again. It just makes me happy hearing new music being created. I started getting into the music and went onto a piano coma. I just kept playing what I felt, recording everything. I completely forgot about the boys. I wonder how they are doing.
After about 2 hours I had a really good song outline, with some room for tweaking. I walked back into the studio and saw the lads laughing and eating. What?
“Guys! Have you gotten anything done since I left?” I asked exasperated.
“Ya. Niall wrote a killer chorus and a verse, but then we kinda took, um, a break if you may.” Liam said calmly.
“Can you read the lyrics to me?” I asked. Niall nodded and grabbed his note book. Niall cleared his throat and read the lyrics to me.
“I figured it out.
I figured it out from black and white.
Seconds and hours.
Maybe they had to take some time.
I know how it goes.
I know how it goes from wrong and right.
Silence and sound.
Did they ever hold each other tight
Like us?
Did they ever fight
Like us?
You and I.
We don't wanna be like them.
We can make it 'til the end.
Nothing can come between
You and I.
Not even the Gods above
Can separate the two of us.
No, nothing can come between
You and I.” He finished reading. Wow that was beautiful, and it would go perfect with the music I wrote.
“Niall, that was amazing! Did you write that for Barbara?” I asked honestly curious. He looked at me confused.
“Barbara and I are just friends… I wrote it for another beautiful girl…” he said moving a piece of hair from my face. I blushed; yes once again.
“Well, ok would you like me to help you finish it?” I asked him, looking him in the eye. He nodded and the other lads probably got the memo because they walked out of the room. I sat down on the couch with Niall; pencil and notebook in hand. He scooted closer to me. I could feel his hot breath hit my neck. A shiver ran down my spine. This is nice.
After about 2 more hours, one of which we spent cuddling and listening to my piano recording and matching up notes with lyrics we finished the song. We got a lot done and called the boys back into the room.
“So boys lets just sing through this once today. Ok?” I suggested. They nodded and took the sheets of music. I told what part each of them would be singing and sat down at the piano.
“Oh and Zayn, when you sing the bridge, just let it all out, I want this to have some really cool riff from you cool?” With that I started playing the notes. Niall started the first verse, followed by each of the other boys. They all sang wonderfully.
“I figured it out.
I figured it out from black and white.
Seconds and hours.
Maybe they had to take some time.
I know how it goes.
I know how it goes from wrong and right.
Silence and sound.

Nothing can come between
You and I.
Not even the Gods above
Can separate the two of us.
No, nothing can come between
You and I.
Oh, you and I.
I figured it out.
Saw the mistakes of up and down.
Meet in the middle.
There's always room for common ground.
I see what it's like.
I see what it's like for day and night.
Never together
'Cause they see things in a different light
Like us.
But they never tried
Like us.
You and I.
We don't wanna be like them.
We can make it 'til the end.
Nothing can come between
You and I.
Not even the Gods above
Can separate the two of us.
'Cause you and I...
We don't wanna be like them.
We can make it 'til the end.
Nothing can come between
You and I.
Not even the Gods above
Can separate the two of us.
No, nothing can come between
You and I.
You and I.
Oh, you and I.
Oh, you and I.
We can make it if we try.
You and I
Oh, you and I.” A tear slipped from my eye as the boys finished singing. That was truly beautifl.Niall walked over to me.
“You know that other lovely girl I was talking about? Well I was talking about you. Thank you for the beautiful song.” He said kissing me on the forehead.
“You’re welcome…”
“Shit, shit, shit,” I chant as I run around my flat looking for my keys and my sheet music. Just my luck, One Direction asked me to write a song for them and I have lost all of the music I had written down; damn it.

Notes
This one shot was written for Cindy (Cindygirl) I hope you liked it!!!
Here is another thing I can cross of my list for this week, yay!!!!
Here is the rest of my to-do list.
My plan for this week:::
--new one shot possibly later today ----DONE-----
--new one shot tomorrow ----DONE----
--new one shot Wednesday

I promise I will get all of this done and I won’t take any shortcuts. I will continue to write the stories with the same amount of thought and emotion as I usually have in my one shots/song shots. I think I might make this my schedule for future weeks as well if it works well for me this week, if not I’ll tweak it a little bit. If I don’t complete my to-do list for this week, you guys have every right to nag me about until I do.
Hope you all enjoyed this One Shot. I will be taking requests again soon, when I get caught up again. BIIIIIII!!
Love you all
