"Goodbye, (Y/N)."
The words felt like a slap across your cheek.
He walked out, closing the door behind him. It sounded like a gunshot to your ears. Tears streamed down your face as you fell down onto the couch, sobbing loudly in your hands as you heard him turn on his car and drive away.
"(Y/N) - (Y/N)-" you suddenly felt yourself being shaken awake before your eyes snapped open and adjusted to the dark room. You quickly sat up, realizing it was all a dream.
"Angel, are ya okay? Ya were makin' weird noises in yer sleep. We're ya havin' a nightmare?" you heard the familiar voice of the love of your life speak to you, his hand soothingly rubbing your bare arm up and down.
You were so overwhelmed. It was your biggest fear ever since you fell in love with him. Niall leaving you was always your biggest fear. He was every girl's dream guy and he could get anyone he wanted. You were terrified that one day he would find someone better than you and just walk out. You loved him too much.
You broke down into sobs. Niall quickly sat up and pulled you into his chest, letting your cry against his bare skin. With a lot of shhh's and soothing words being whispered into your ear, your crying soon calmed down, your sobs turning into soft sniffles.
"I had a dream you left me." you whispered against his soft skin, your voice soft and vulnerable.
"Oh, baby, no, I would never leave ya. Ever. I love ya t' much t' leave ya." he tightened his grip around you and you just knew there was a frown planted on his lips by the way his voice fell.
"I've always been afraid you're gonna find someone better and leave me. Ever since I fell in love with you." you admitted.
"Are you really afraid of that?" he asked with a soft, weak voice and you swore you heard his heart fall at your words.
"I mean...yeah." you sighed, feeling his heart thump against your ear.
"(Y/N), ya don't ever have t' worry 'bout t'at. I love ya more t'an anythin' in t' world. I never plan t' leave ya. If anythin' I wanna keep ya forever. Put a ring on yer finger, have a few kiddos wit' ya, grow old. T' last thin' I wanna do is leave ya. Yer the most amazin' woman I've ever met. I wantcha t' know t'at, kay? I love ya."
Your heart melted at his words.
"I love you too, Nialler. Thank you." you blushed, looking up at him.
Even though you couldn't see him in the darkroom, you just knew he was grinning down at you. All of the sudden you felt his soft lips against you. You kissed him back, melting into his embrace.
*** 3 months later ***
"Dinner's ready, babe!" you heard Niall yell to you from the kitchen.
You turned off the tv and threw the blanket off of your body. You stood up and made your way to the kitchen. Niall stood in front of the oven, loading your food onto your plates.
"Smells good." you commented, walking up to him and pressing a sweet kiss to the back of his neck.
"Thanks." he chuckled as you began to get your drinks ready.
"What'dya want t' drink?" you asked, grabbing two glasses from the cabinet.
"Uhhh..." he begun, "Water 's fine."
You began to fill the two glasses up with ice and water. You walked over to the kitchen table and set them down at your seats. You walked back towards Niall and grabbed both of the plates while he turned off the stove and set the dirty pots and pans in the sink.
"Oh, thanks, babe." he smiled at you.
"You're welcome." you replied, setting the plates down at your seats, right by your glasses of water before you sat down in your seat.
You heard Niall open a drawer just before the clinging of silverware, acknowledging Niall was getting you some silverware.
He walked towards you and he sat down at his seat in front of you, handing you a fork and a knife.
"Thank you," you giggled, "I totally forgot about that."
"'s alright, I got it." he grinned back, beginning to cut into the delicious chicken he had made us.
You followed his actions and dug into your food as well. You spent the rest of dinner talking and laughing about everything.
Once you were both finished, you started to stand up before Niall stopped you, "Wait, sit down. I needa tell ya somethin'."
You slowly sat back down in your wooden chair, a confused look planted on your face. He stood up and walked over to you, your eyes following his every move. Once he was stood next to you, he got down on one knee. What was he doing?
"Oh my gosh, are you proposing?" you asked, your heart racing.
You weren't ready to get married. You loved Niall and of course, you wanted to marry him, but not now!
"I - no - no-" he shook his head, standing up and sitting down in the chair next to me.
"Niall, what are you doing? You're scaring me." you chuckled softly, your eyes wide and your heart continually racing.
"Babe, stop, 'm nervous. What 'm about t' do is a big commitment."
His hands were a little shaky and a thin layer of sweat slowly started to appear on his forehead. He was definitely nervous. But about what?
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a black, velvety, ring box.
"I'm so confused? Niall, what is that?" you asked him.
"(Y/N), jus' listen."
You obeyed him and kept quiet, waiting impatiently for him to speak.
"Okay, so you remember like 3 months ago or somethin' ya had dat dream tha' I left ya?" he started.
You thought about it for a minute and the memory came back to your mind, "Yeah."
"And how ya said you're always afraid I'll find someone else an' leave ya?"
You nodded.
"Well," he opened the box to reveal a beautiful ring. It had little heart-shaped diamonds embedded on the outside of the entire ring.
Your mouth fell open.
"I was thinkin' about it an' I hate dat you feel dat way so I got ya this ring t' remind ya dat ya never have t' worry 'bout dat." he stared down at the ring, his fingertips running back and forth over the velvety box to help calm his nerves.
"'s a promise ring just t' show dat I promise t' love ya forever an' dat I'll never leave ya."
Tears filled your eyes.
"I know it's cheesy but, yeah." He shrugged before carefully picking up the ring out of its box.
"See it says promise on the inside." he showed you the inside of the ring, the word promise beautifully engraved in cursive.
"Niall-" you breathed out softly.
Immediately, you hopped out of your chair and wrapped your arms around him, holding him tightly as you silently cried into his shoulder.
"Good tears I'm hoping." he giggled into your ear.
"Of course they are." you chuckled softly through your tears as you looked at him.
"Here - lemme put it on ya." he grinned.
You pulled away from him and he grabbed your right hand, sliding the beautiful ring onto your ring finger.
"It's beautiful Niall. Thank you so much." you smiled.
"I love you, princess." he smiled back, wrapping his arms around your waist.
"I love you too, Ni." you whispered before leaning in and attaching your lips.
At that moment, you couldn't be happier and have felt more loved by a boy. You thanked God for blessing you with such an amazing man that you hoped to spend the rest of your life with.
