We goof around for awhile, then head to the nearest mall. Louis walks in and heads straight to Rue21.. No one is surprised. After we shop around and play a few pranks on some strangers for a few hours, Paul decides that we better end the night. My parents have always trusted me to take care of myself. When Paul invites us girls to stay in a hotel room next to the boys, I gladly agree. Amy and Kaylie have to work tomorrow, so Harry drives them back home. It's about 6 when we arrive at a hotel. When I step through the doorway, my mouth drops open.
This place is really really nice. Polished wooden double-doors, marble floor, chandeliers, the works. We check in at the desk and take the elevator to the 4th floor. The rooms we are given are adjoining, so it'll be very easy to visit the boys. I change into a tie-dye shirt and some black sweatpants and reapply my makeup. As Bailey and I get settled into our room, I see a notebook page stuffed in the outside pocket of my bag. "Hey, wanna watch a movie? The boys are out to having some "male-bonding time"," Bailey says as she crashes face first on the big bed. "Sounds great," I say, laughing.

I take the note and see 'Dearest Talia' written on the outside. I glance at Bailey, wondering if she saw it, but she's still content with her face the comforter. The note says:

Just wanted to remind you how wonderful you are. Don't change anything about yourself.
-Niall x

Walking toward the t.v., I ask, "Bailey, what movie do you want to watch?" Grinning, I re-fold Niall's note and put it into my pocket. Glancing at Bailey, I see she's not moving at all. "Baaaaiiiiiiiilllleeeeeyyyyyyy," I whisper, poking her. Yep. She's asleep. An idea pops into my head. I grab my eyeliner pencil and am about to draw an amazing masterpiece on the back of her legs, when I suddenly hear a voice behind me. "Naughty.." I quickly look up and see Niall standing in the doorway. He's in a black cut-off shirt, red snapback, and grey sweatpants. I could SO get used to this. I drop my eyeliner and walk toward him. "Hey there," he says grinning. "Haven't talked to you in a while," I say as he hugs me."Thank you for the note. It made my day." Niall suddenly grabs my hand and pulls me out of the room. "Hey! Where are we going?" I laugh. "It's a surprise!" he says. He's running so fast that when he drags me out the parking lot and into his car, I'm confused on where we are. At about 7 oclock, I look outside to see we're at a park. Niall hops out and opens my door for me. "Here you are, milady!" "Why are we at a park?" I ask, getting out of the car. "Just come here," he says as he leads me to a picnic table. He sits on top of the table, and I do the same. By now, it's getting pretty dark outside. Niall looks up, then at a piece of paper halfway out of his pocket. "Niall, what is that?" I ask. "Just hang on a few more minutes." he says, still glancing at the sky, then the paper. A few minutes pass, and the sunset has disappeared. Niall suddenly announces, "Alright! Found it!" I jump. "Found what?!" He puts his arm around me, and points to a star with his other hand. "I found you, Talia." Wait.. What? Niall named a star after me? "Oh my gosh. Niall. It's amazing!" I say as I try to see the star clearer. Niall reaches into his pocket. I turn toward him as he pulls out a ring box and opens it. "This is a promise ring. We're too young to get married, but will you promise to wait for me?" His eyes search my face for an answer. "Please?" he says. I start to tear up. "Niall. Oh my gosh, yes! Yes, of course!" I tackle him in a bear hug and we both fall off of the picnic table. As we fall on the ground, laughing at ourselves, Niall puts the promise ring on my finger. Perfect fit. It's a plain silver band, but in the middle it's twisted into an infinity sign. "Oh! It's so beautiful. I promise I'll wait for you." "Why, thank you! I'll wait for you as well." Niall and I lay on the grass, looking at the stars, when he sits up. "Talia?" I sit up, also. "Mhmm?" "Uh.. Talia, I.. I love you." My heart stops. Is this real? I'm just sitting here, staring at him. Niall looks at me, concerned that I've stopped breathing. He takes my hand. "You alright?" I snap back to reality. "Niall, I love you more."
