listen and read:

I fumbled around with the ring. What if she said no? I mean, sure, I was Niall Horan. Girls were screaming out my name every single day and I’m sure if I asked them to marry me they’d say yes. But Danni was different. We were together, sure, but deep down inside I had this feeling that something would go wrong tonight. I sighed and slid the ring back into the velvet box, tucking it into my pocket. I checked the time; I had half an hour to practice the proposal. It had to be perfect.

I paced around the room, mumbling things to myself.
“I’ve loved you for a long time, let me love you forever.”
“How do you say, marry me?”
“Please marry me.”
“Hey, I want you to marry me and we can have good sex.”
“I love you so much babe, marry me?”
I groaned, sitting down on the couch and massaging my temples, my head pounding. I looked down at the time, realising she was over twenty minutes late. I frowned slightly before sending her a quick text, asking her where she was.
I reclined back on the couch, getting lost in the TV show before my eyes.
I couldn’t concentrate. Where was she? Why wasn’t she replying? Oh god, she’d moved on.
I walked up to our bedroom, getting out my finest suit, pulling it on and looking at myself in the mirror. I looked good, there’s no denying that.
“Hey.”
I smiled, hearing her beautiful voice was such a relief, “Hey babe.”
“So, what are you all dressed up for?” She took a step towards me, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear.
I froze, this was it, “I- uh.. I…”
“Spit it out Niall!” She giggled, taking my hand and planting a soft kiss on my lips, “What’s the occasion?”
I took a deep breath, closing my eyes before taking the ring box from my jacket, falling down to one knee, “Babe. I don’t know how I lived without you, but I know, deep down in my heart that I will never be able to live without you again. You’re my soul, my heart, my world, my rock, you’re my princess! You’re so important to me and so many things in my mind… but I… I want you to be one more thing. I want you to be my wife. Is… Can you do that?”
Seeing her blue eyes fill with tears, her hands cover that beautiful smile, I found myself in tears too. It seemed like forever and a lifetime before she nodded, throwing her arms around me, “Yes.”
I smiled, kissing her cheek before pulling her back, holding her left hand out and sliding the ring onto her finger.
“I love you so much Niall.” She looked down at our hands, a tear rolling down her cheek, “So much.”
I couldn’t contain the smile, it hurt my cheeks to be honest, “I love you too babe.”
I heard the phone ringing from the kitchen, leaving a small kiss on her lips before jogging down the hallway. I picked the phone up, a huge smile plastered on my face.
“Hello?”
“N-Niall.”
“Harry? What’s wrong?” I found myself biting my nails, “Harry?”
“It’s Danni.”
“What?” I frowned, playing with a piece of paper on the counter, “Harry… she’s here with me? I just proposed.”
“No she isn’t Niall.” I heard a loud, shaky breath from the other end of the line, “She’s been in an accident.”
“Excuse me?” I croaked, tears pushing the corners of my eyes, “Harry! SHE’S IN OUR BEDROOM RIGHT NOW!”
“Niall. She’s not.”
I slammed the phone down, muttering under my breath and walking back to the bedroom. I peered in, expecting to see Danni, instead seeing an empty room.
“Danni?” I called out, searching through the house for her, “Where are you babe?”
Why was it so silent? Where had she gone?
I stopped as the phone rang again. I cautiously picked it up and pressed it to my ear.
“Hello?”
“Niall. Listen to me.”
“Liam?”
“You need to come down to the hospital. They don’t think she’s going to make it.”
“Who?!” I demanded, grabbing my keys.
“Danni.”
I ended the call and ran to the car, confused as hell. I sped down the road, a million thoughts running through my mind.
“It can’t be Danni. It can’t be.” I repeated those words like some sort of chant, finally arriving at the hospital.
I pulled into the carpark, running up to the front desk, breathless, “Is… Danni here?”
The woman turned to the computer before saying Danni’s name. I felt my heart stop, “She’s in emergency.”
I felt a numbness take over my body. In all honesty, I don’t remember running to her room. All I can remember is seeing my beautiful girl lying in a hospital bed.
“Danni?” I whispered, pushing past the boys to hold her hand, “Baby wake up.”
“Niall.” I felt a hand rest on my shoulder, Liam’s hand.
“They need to take her off life support now.”
I looked up at Harry, tears in my eyes, “NO! I NEED TO MARRY HER. I NEED TO MARRY HER NOW!”
Harry pushed back tears, wrapping me in his arms, “I’m so sorry Niall.”
I whimpered, turning back to Danni and rested my hand on Danni’s cheek, planting a kiss on her lips before resting my forehead against hers.
“Good bye baby.” I let out a soft whimper, tears dampening my cheeks, “I will always love you.”
The nurse pressed the button, the beeps of the machine slowing to a stop.

I sat out in the waiting room, a little too unsure of what to do with myself. I took out the ringbox, flipping the lid up and seeing the ring sitting untouched.
I looked over towards the exit, seeing a brunette girl waving, that stupid cheeky smile on her face. I stood up, slowly walking towards her. I pushed the door open and was faced with my beautiful girl, her hair blowing slightly in the wind.
“Where’d you go? You just left the house!”
“No…” I whimpered, “You left me Danni! You died! I hate you for leaving me.”
“Oh Niall.” She whispered, her fingers grazing over my cheek, “I’ll never leave you. I’m right here.”
Her finger rested on my chest, right above my heart, “P-Promise?”
“I swear Niall, I’m never leaving you.”
I blinked back tears, pulling her in for one last kiss, “I’m going to miss you.”
“I’ll be keeping an eye on you okay?”
I nodded, watching as she walked into the sunset, “Save a spot up there for me okay?”
“Of course. I’ll be watching you. Make me proud Nialler.”
“See you in heaven baby.” I took a shaky breath, “I love you beautiful girl.”
I closed my teary eyes, hearing her beautiful laugh fade away into the distance.
