~Carolyn~
Niall chugs his water and looks at me. He seems a little bit worried.
"Um, Carolyn, there's something I need to tell you," he mumbles.
"Sure Niall, you can tell me anything," I chirp.
"Well...you know about our big world tour that's coming up?"
"Yes," I reply.
"And of course, I'll be on the world tour..."
"I know."
"But the thing is, we can't bring our girlfriends on the tour with us."
"Oh." I was crestfallen. I hadn't thought much about the tour but I just assumed that I'd be on the tour bus.
"Yeah, the other guys are bummed out, too. I won't see you for six months."
"SIX MONTHS?!" I blurt. Who knew tours could be so long?!
"Yeah. I'm so sorry, Carolyn."
"But that's six months away from my boyfriend! You'll forget me!" I begin to cry. Niall cradles me in his arms.
"Don't cry. Please, I hate seeing you cry. He looks at me with his pleading blue eyes. I wipe my eyes.
"How can we be away for so long?" I sniffle.
"I promise, it won't be that bad. We'll text and talk on the phone. We'll Skype. It will be just like normal. And there's an upside to this."
"What?" I ask. How on Earth can there be an upside to this?
"As my girlfriend, you get free One Direction concert tickets!"
"Yay!" I say, faking enthusiasm. Free concert tickets? That's it?
"I know you're upset, and I am, too. But I wish you could come along."
"Me too." I sigh. Six months without Niall?
"Here," he says, putting a lanyard around my neck. "If you go to a One Direction concert, this pass-" he touches a card attached to the lanyard, "will let you get into the concert."
"Any concert?" I ask. He nods.
"Any concert you want." I grin. Now I have a plan!
