Once In a Lifetime

Chapter 33

Hey guys, sorry for not posting yesterday. I'm on my way back home oh yeah. Italy was really nice, but I missed my cat, so I don't mind going home. such a sap, i know :)

Okay, I'm not keeping you any longer from reading.

I rubbed my hands above the campfire fire to warm my hands. I'm surprised they even know how to make a campfire. And no, they didn't make one by rubbing a stick together. That would be just too much. They just used matches and some wood.

The night breeze was cold, but the fire was holding up.

Suddenly, Niall took out his guitar. I furrowed my brows together. Where does he even keep that?

He handed it to me, and said, "Would you like to play something for us? On the guitar?"

"What?" I asked. He wants me to play, in front of everyone?

"Yeah. You said you like to sing and play guitar. I haven't once heard you play." Harry said.

"Oh, but I have played. Just not for someone else. I've played many times. In my cabin. yeah, that's about it." I nodded.

"Show us?" Niall asked, and I grabbed the guitar from his hands and looked at it.

All the boys were staring at me. What do I play?

I forgot how to play.

I can't even play the guitar.

"You okay?" Harry whispered so only I could hear.

"Yeah. I just. I can't play the guitar." I said, avoiding eye contact.

"But, you said you could." He said.

"Yeah well." I shrugged. Is this where everything ends?

Niall stood up and walked away.

Oh no, is he mad?

Shit.

I could say I've lied? Or just that I forgot how to play? I don't know...

He came back a minute later. That was a long minute. When he stepped into the light, I could see that he was holding my guitar in his hands. "Here let's switch." He said with a nod and a smile.

There is no way he just carries two guitars with him all the time.

I smiled and took the guitar from his hands.

My guitar has stickers of them on the back. Its light brown on the front and dark brown on the sides. It's really pretty.

"Okay, can you now play something for us?" Niall tried again, sitting down.

"Like what?" I asked. I'm more comfortable with my own guitar.

"First song you learned."

"Oh, that was little things." I started finger picking the first part.

"That was really good! We could play that together." Niall said with a smile.

I always play it with one of my friends. She is also a fan of you guys. She is the sweetest. Her name is Nora. I think she would love to meet you.

One day I'm playing it with her, sitting in her room, and the next, I'm sitting on the beach, playing it with Niall.

How things change.

"Can you play a song of mine?" Harry asked.

"Cherry." I nodded. I placed my capo to the 7th fret and started playing.
