Ed's POV

  "Hey guys." I say when I look up from my phone.
  "What did you need to tell us together instead of individually?" Zayn asks after sitting down next to me.
"We need to talk about Natalie. And when I say we, I mean the two of you.
  "Don't know. Zayn made it pretty clear that he didn't want me talking to Natalie. Let alone go anywhere near her." Niall says looking in my eyes.
  "Well, there is a song that Natalie keeps putting on repeat and singing along with it. Her and her friend Jared would spend hours and hours singing this song. Then, when they hung out as you guys were on tour, they would singing it at the choir concert." I explain going to YouTube.
  "Isn't it that song that your were playing on the guitar for the both of them?" Zayn asks looking wide eyed.
  "Yeah. It has the chorus "Be careful you fool there are certain rules even for a fellow like you." I say as I show them the video.

I know I was out of line
You were way out of your mind
Wrapped up in my reveries
Causing all this misery
Hear me out
If ever there's a chance in heaven
(Or in hell)

To slowly forget the past and the bandage
Be careful, you fool, there are certain rules
Even for a fellow like you

But don't be alarmed, no one gets harmed
I will never go, babe, hell no
Maybe I was in the dark
But why'd you have to steal my heart?

Well, I didn't plan to go berserk
Baby, you were such a jerk
Well, just hear me out
I can't believe the things I said
(I know)
I obviously was removed from my senses

Be careful, you fool, there are certain rules
Even for a fellow like you
But don't be alarmed, no one gets harmed
I will never go, babe, hell no

Now hear me out
If ever you deceive me
(If ever, ever)
We're through
You worry too much, I won't make you sorry

Be careful, you fool, there are certain rules
Even for a fellow like you
But don't be alarmed, no one gets harmed
I will never go, babe, hell no

Be careful, you fool
(Don't be alarmed)
There are certain rules
('Cause I know that)
I will never go, babe, hell no

Niall's POV

  After Ed played the song, I felt horrible. I had to go find Natalie and apologize to her. Once I get up, Ed and Zayn look up at me confused at what I was doing.
  "Where are you going?" Zayn asks as he raised  his right eyebrow.
  "I want to go and apologize to Natalie for everything that I said." I explained running up to Nicole's room.
  I get to her room, I hear her laughing inside. When I walk in I see Harry, Louis any Liam sitting around her bed laughing. After I close the door all eyes are on me.
  "H-hi Niall." Natalie says looking away from me.
  "Lads, can I talk to Natalie alone please? There's something I've got to tell her." I say giving them a reassuring smile.
  "Yeah mate. We'll be right out in the hall if you need us." Liam says as him and the lads leave the room.
  "What did you want to talk about?" Natalie finally asks as she meets my gaze.
  "I'm sorry for everything I said. I do love you Natalie. More then anything. And, I wanted to do this properly." I say as I sit beside her on the bed.
  "Do what exactly?" She asks looking confused as I grabbed my guitar.

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this mind it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me
I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things
You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
Maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me
I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things
You never love yourself half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to
If I let you know, I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you oh
I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth
Because it's you, oh it's you, it's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you (all these little things)
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you, and all your little things

  "That was amazing Ni." Natalie says as she hugs me.
  "Natalie, I need to ask you something." I say laying Ed's guitar down.
  "What is it?" She asks.
  "Will you marry me?"
