~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!
