The next morning I was woken up by Nathan as usual. He was struggling to stand with his crutches so I made the extra effort to wake up. I hopped down and helped him sit down on one of the couches on the bus.

"You know, this would be so much easier if you just slept in the same bed as me," Nathan proposed.

I smirked at him, "We'll see."

"Yeah, sure," he squints while I laugh.

"Babe, where are we?" I ask.

"Funny you ask," He says curiously.

"How so?"

"Paris. The city of love!" He sang, and I laughed even harder.

"So?"

"So…I wanna take you out tonight. I snagged us an extra day here," He smiled proudly.

"Aww baby, that's sweet, thank you," I smiled and gave him a kiss.

Since Nathan was so obviously handicapped he had to sit on a stool during rehearsal. Other than that it ran smoothly and I got some great clips for next weeks flip. Since Nathan already uploaded the video yesterday I'd just have to wait until next week and combine all the clips I've collected.

The gig started off great, and I was especially excited because Nathan was going to preview his new song, "Almost is Never Enough". It is supposed to be sung with Ariana Grande but she couldn't fly down so Nathan was just going to sing it by himself.

It got to the end of the set and I was super excited for the next song, Nathan's song. It's possibly one of my favorites yet and I was so proud of him for it. I knew every word, and even sang Ariana's part with him on the bus a few times when we got bored earlier.

"And now I want to invite someone very special to me up on the stage to sing this next song with me," Nathan announced and the crowd went wild. My heart started to pound and I began to sweat profusely. My knees got weak and I swore I was gonna collapse. I knew Nathan said he'd help me get over my stage fright but I didn't know he meant he'd just throw me into it. I mean, unless Ariana managed to fly down but I had talked to her manager myself and Nathan wouldn't call her his "special someone", would he?

"Taylor, come on up babe!" Nope…not Ariana.

Kels pushed me up on stage and I took a mic from one of the tech guys. I glared daggers at Nath.

He leaned over to me and whispered, "Baby, you can do this. Just breathe. I know you know this. Just look at me if you get nervous, yeah?"

I nodded unable to speak.

The instrumental track began to play and I decided it to be now or never. I just went for it. I belted it out the best I could starting by looking at Nathan and then realizing I didn't need him, like a kid ridding a bike for the first time.

When we had finished Nath had a satisfied grin on his face as the whole crowd went wild.

"Give it up for Taylor!" Nathan shouted.

The crowd, if possible, went even crazier. I started to cry, overwhelmed. I mean I rarely cried, especially in front of others, but it was all too much. Nathan came over and hugged me before planting a kiss on my lips.

"I'm so proud of you!" Nathan smiled.

"Nathan Sykes! If you ever do that to me again I will personally cut off your testicles."

He laughed before turning away to thank the audience. We went off stage and to the back. That's when I saw them. A huge crowd of them, fans. I wouldn't have been surprised, if they were there for Nathan, but they weren't, well some were, but they were all screaming my name and asking for autographs. Many of them told me how well I did and asked when I'd have an album out. I was so overwhelmed.

Nathan noticed and brought me into the dressing room to escape the fans. Then I saw Nathan's family and my family, both of which had been so supportive of us and me, and then I just fainted. Just like that.

FLASHBACK

It was the day after Nathan and I got together and I was to meet his family. I was super nervous. I'd met them many times before but not as his girlfriend. Jess and I got along well and his parents seemed to like me, but as his girlfriend? I wasn't quite sure.

We walked in and immediately I was swarmed by his mum and sister. Nathan's parents are divorced so today I was only going to meet his mum and sister, Jess. And of course his cat Tia. He also has a dog named Harry and a snake named Charlie, but he's particularly fond of Tia.

"I'm so glad it's you!" His mum said.

"Me too! When Nath told us we just about died!" Jess complimented.

I laughed, "Well thanks, that means a lot."

Nathan smiled, proud all his girls were getting along.

The rest of that day went along quite well and lovely. I loved his family I decided and I was just lucky they felt the same about me.

"See, I told you you didn't need to worry!" Nathan said as we left.

"I suppose you did," I smiled, and he leaned down to kiss me.

END FLASHBACK

I woke up from my dreams to a bright light. At first I thought I was in heaven before every thing came into focus and I realized I was in the hospital. I saw my mum and dad there, with a very worried looking Jay. I suppose only family was allowed.

"Where's Nathan? I want to see him." I said groggily.

"You're awake!" Jay sighed, relieved.

"Yeah yeah yeah. Nathan?"

"He stepped out for a second. Look, he feels very guilty about what—"

My mum began but was cut off by the door opening. It was Nathan.

He looked awful, and that's hard for Nathan to do.

"It's my baby Nath," I smiled, holding out my arms. He came and produced a beautiful bouquet of flowers from behind his back. He set them down before hugging me.

"They're beautiful Nath," I said. Mum nodded in agreement.

"Tay, I'm so sorry. It's my fault. I got you all overwhelmed and—" I cut him off with a kiss.

"It's fine Nathan. I'm fine," I smiled.

Then the doctor walked in.

"I thought I told you only family." He said to Nathan.

"He is my family," I said confidently causing Nathan to smile.

"Is he your boyfriend or husband? Boyfriend doesn't count as family ma'am."

"He's my husband," I said, confident again. My family snickered and Nathan looked pleased. The doctor looked unconvinced, but entertained so he let Nathan stay.

"Alright, well, you appear well. Your vitals are good. It's up to you whether you want to go, but you are gonna need to stay off your feet tonight," he said.

"I want to go," I said, already tired of the hospital life.

We signed some forms and got back on the bus. Nathan and I postponed our date for tomorrow instead, lucky that we got another day in Paris. I said goodbye to my family and his and went to my bed, currently occupied by Nath due to his foot.

I crawled in next to him, "I knew you couldn't stay away."

"Yeah yeah, just go to sleep," I muttered, before sleep fell over me as well.
