Countdown to I Do

{2 Days later}

I woke up shivering in my hotel room, I looked around and saw that Niall wasn't with me. Where was he? I turned around and saw that in his place was a bouquet of roses with a note:

Princess,
I have left you this note in place of me to not break tradition. I spent the night at mum's like we had planned. I want to see God's final masterpiece that he has made for me when you become Mrs. Horan and you will forever be mine. I will be waiting.

I Love You,
Ni xoxox

I picked up the letter and the bouquet and rolled out of bed. Today was my wedding day! I have been waiting for this day for years and in the next 24 hours I will be Mrs Horan, no longer Miss Cowell. I wouldn't have it any other way. The girls were meeting me in the lobby at 11am so we can go get our hair, nails and makeup done. The ceremony didn't begin until three o'clock so we were going to lunch just us girls.

I jumped in the shower quickly and got changed in my Bride shirt and my Niall Horan owns this yoga pants. I love yoga pants. I threw my hair in a messy bun, applied some lipgloss and mascara and headed down stairs to the lobby. As I walked downstairs every one was screaming. My eyes went straight to  my mum. She had tears running down her cheeks. She's had a rough year, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer a couple months ago and she has only till March to live. I walked up to her and reached down to where she was in her wheel chair and gave her a hug and started crying. After we had our moment, we went out to lunch.

We arrived at Melissé. We sat down and ordered what we wanted. "Cesar salad, please." I said when the waitress finally turned to me. "I will be back with everyone's orders in a bit." she replied, turning and heading towards the kitchen. While we waited we went over final things for the wedding, everyone finished writing their speeches. After that was completed we decided to talk about funny moments of Niall and I. I looked over at my mom and she was smiling ear to ear. "I remember when you and Niall first started dating, you came back after your date and when you realized he was upstairs and asleep you came running downstairs smiling ear to ear and your eyes we sparkling. All of a sudden you yelled, MUM I'M IN LOVE!!!" she started saying. "I had asked you how do you know? You simply replied saying because he treats me like daddy treats you mum. From then on you were no longer my little girl. Now seeing you and Niall together, it's unbelievable how far you have come. I wouldn't have it any other way." she finished. Tears were already running down my face. After a few more stories and a lot more crying, Emily was the last one to tell her story as the food was arriving. "This story is titled Niall's big idea. I'm sure Skylier doesn't want me telling this but I can't resist."She began. I was begging for her not to tell this story.

"A few years ago it was Niall's great idea to take the tour bus for the weekend. We would drive out of Los Angeles and a few hours out to discover nature as he called it. But believe me nature wasn't too kind back to him. We stopped at a parking lot along the highway to rest for the night. It was Niall's idea to leave the windows open so we wouldn't waste the battery. Midnight rolls around and our last game of poker ended, which I of course won. Niall pulls out the roll out bed for Skylier and him to sleep on. Liam and I make our way to the back of the bus to where we were sleeping. As I am drifting off to sleep I get a text from Skylier reading:

"Do you smell that? I don't want to wake Niall"

I sit up in bed. A peculiar smell lingered in the air. "What's wrong?" Liam asked sitting up beside me. "Do you smell that?" I asked. Liam paused for a moment. "Yeah, it smells like a, like a skunk." Liam replied. I jump out of bed and open the door to see Skylier sitting up in bed, Niall still asleep.  "I think we're smelling a skunk." I whispered to Skylier. Liam came and stood behind me. "I'll wake him." Skylier whispered. "Niall wake up." Skylier cooed tapping his shoulder. Niall didn't even move. Skylier tried again but he still didn't wake up. That's it. "Wakie wakie Niall poo!" I screamed flashing my flashlight in his face. He opened his eyes and quickly closed them from the light. "Morning sunshine." I said smiling patting his head. He sat up rolling his eyes at me. I could hear Liam trying to hold in the laughter. "I always love waking up to your presence." Niall said smiling at me. He scrunched his nose. "Is that a skunk?" Niall asked sniffing the air once again. "I think so, what do we do?" Skylier asked. "I'm sure it isn't, I'll go check." Niall said grabbing his phone for the flashlight. "I don't think that's your greatest idea." I said to Niall. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just around the area, but I'll still check." "Don't get sprayed." I yelled as he stepped out of the bus.
