Don't Let Me Go ~ N.H.

Niall’s POV

As soon as we got into the car to head to the airport, I called Mr. Jennings to tell him that Carlie and I were engaged. He answered on the second ring.

“Hey, it’s Niall,” I said.

“Oh, hello, Niall. What’s up? Is Carlie awake?”

“Yes, she is, and we’re headed to the airport now. And guess what? I proposed, and she said yes!”

“That’s great! April and I will be there as soon as we can.”

“Okay, thanks. Bye!”

“Bye, now.”

Carlie’s POV

When we got to the airport, I heard someone calling my name. I turned around and saw Daddy and April standing near our gate. Niall helped me hobble up to them, and Daddy gave me a warm hug.

“We’ve missed you so much, Carlie!” he said. “How’s your leg?”

“It hurts like hell,” I admitted.

“Well, I’m sure Niall will take great care of you. Right, Niall?”

“Right,” Niall said.

When we got home, Niall picked me up bridal style and carried me up to our room.

“Where are Sam, Kelsey, and Holly?” I asked as he tucked me in.

“They’re on tour with Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran,” Niall said.

“They’re in a band, too?”

“Yeah, Cherry Chapstick. Last I heard, Sam developed a crush on Ed Sheeran. But don’t tell Zayn that.”

I giggled. “I won’t.”

I took my cell phone and called Sam up. She answered immediately.

“Hey, it’s Carlie!”

Sam screamed. “You’re awake! I thought you’d never wake up! There were already rumors that you’d died!”

I laughed. “I’m not dead. I just woke up today. How’s your tour?”

“Oh, it’s great! Well, except for the fact that I had drunken sex with Ed Sheeran last night, but other than that, it’s great!”

“You had sex with Ed Sheeran? Sam, you have a boyfriend!”

“I know, but I was drunk! Please don’t tell Zayn!”

“I won’t if you won’t.”

Just then, Zayn passed by the room and heard me talking to Sam. “Are you talking to Sam? Let me talk to her!” Zayn said.

“Sure, Zayn,” I said. “Zayn wants to talk to you, Sam!” I handed the phone to Zayn.

Zayn’s POV

“Hello, Sam?” I said.

“Hi, Zayn!” Sam chirped. “How was Madison Square Garden? I know it was your dream to perform there!”

“It was awesome! There was a massive crowd of screaming fans. How’s your tour going?”

“Great! Taylor Swift is really nice, and so is Ed Sheeran!”

I switched to a serious tone. “Oh, speaking of Ed Sheeran, I heard rumors that you had sex with him. Is this true?”

Sam laughed. “Where did you get that, Star magazine?! Of course I didn’t have sex with him!”

“This is no laughing matter, Samantha.” I only use her full first name when I’m serious with her. “Did you or did you not have sex with Ed Sheeran?”

Sam sighed. “Okay, you go me, Zayn. But I was drunk! Please forgive me!”

“Alright, but if I find out you’re pregnant with his baby, it’s over.”
