Tough Decisions

Little Things

I can't believe that I'm backstage at a One Direction concert. I was watching the show from stage right and was dancing and singing along to the music. The music stopped and Niall started to speak to the crowd, "So tonight we have a very special guest here, and we would like for her to come out so we can sing for her." I was looking around thinking that the boys had a surprise for me like Alicia Keys or Leona Lewis, but Niall looked over directly at me.

"Lauren, will you please come out here?" he asked looking at me. I completely froze up. He began walking towards me and grabbed my hand and kissed my cheek, "Come on love." he said. I followed him out on stage where there was a single stool placed dead center. I sat and the boys nodded so the music could begin. They began to sing Little Things and my eyes filled with tears. Niall stood next to me the whole song. When the chorus came I sang quietly cause I didn't want to be heard, but Niall put his mic to my mouth. I was singing the harmony part and it actually sounded really beautiful. I had almost forgotten we were in front of a huge crowd until the song ended and everyone cheered. My eyes never left Niall's. He kissed me and offered me to sing the last song, Last First Kiss, with them. I nodded in agreement and sang with them.

Niall held my hand and looked deeply into my eyes the whole song, then kissed me slow and passionately. I couldn't believe this was happening. The boys took one last bow and Niall nudged me forward and I bowed. I was surprised at the applause and blushed sheepishly. Niall took my hand and led me off stage with the rest of them. They all turned and looked at me.

"You were great!" Louis said.

"Who knew you could harmonize so well!" Liam added.

"You're gunna get a record deal with that voice." Zayn told me.

"You need to put yourself out there more like tonight, you never know where it could take you." Harry said.

"Thanks guys, it means a lot." I said in appreciation.

Niall looked me in the eyes, "You know I meant everything I sang to you, right?" I blushed and nodded. I could tell he did by the way he looked at me. "Lauren, I'm falling inlove with you." "And all these little things." I added jokingly. He smiled and nodded. "Me too, Niall. Honestly, I've never felt something like this before." I told him. I really meant it. We headed towards the dressing rooms and Niall led me to his.

"You can freshen up in here love." he stated pulling towards his dressing room. I nodded in agreement and entered the room. It was about the size of a seating area of a fast food restaurant. There was a couch, coffee table, bouquet of flowers in a vase, a vanity section against the one wall, and a bathroom. It was quiet cozy. I sat on the couch and was breathing heavily. Niall looked over concerned, "Are you okay love?" he asked. "I'm fine, just can't believe what just happened." I told him. "Well, get used to it, because when you are coming home from Ireland, you're coming with us!" he said. I shook my head in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
