Chapter 14: ||NIALL||

Before the interview, we were all backstage, and I could hear a guitar playing.
"Hey, mate, where ya going?" Liam stopped me to ask.
"Nowhere. I was just wondering where Erica was."
"I saw her in your dressing room, I think she saw the guitar you have in there."
"Oh," is all I say, and walked to my dressing room. The guitar got louder, and with it was singing. I hadn't ever heard the song she's singing, it must be new.
"I'd never gone with the wind, just let it flow. Let it take me where it wants to go, 'til you open the door. There's so much more. I'd never seen it before. I was trying to fly, but I couldn't find wings. But you came along and you changed everything," she sang. " You lift my feet off the ground, you spin me around. You make me crazier, crazier. Feels like I'm falling and I am lost in those blue eyes. You make me crazier, crazier, crazier," she trailed off.
I walked away, smiling at the song. I got to the set where the boys were sitting on the couch, talking to each other.
"30 seconds!" A crew member yelled. I sat down, and we all looked at each other, and stopped talking.
"Hello! And welcome back! We are here with One Direction...," the interviewer started. I wasn't paying attention. I couldn't. I would, but I wasn't able to. I thought about the song Erica was singing earlier.
Blue eyes? Was it about me? Maybe Louis, he has blue eyes. No, it was probably someone from where she lives.
"So... The question everyone is waiting for! Who's taken? Who's not?"
Here it comes.
"And Niall, the viewers want to know, how have you and Erica been getting along?" She winked at me. That's the sickest thing I've ever heard. Besides Harry's perverted jokes.
"Fine, she's... Nice to hang out with when they," I said, gesturing to the lads, "get annoying."
"That's good, so. Who is in a relationship?" She asked again.
She went down the line of us, first Liam, then Zayn, Harry, then Louis.
"What about you Louis?"
"Uh. I-" he stuttered, tears in his eyes. "I can't do this, I'm sorry," he got up and left the stage. I looked over, and saw Erica standing there, shocked, to say the least. I'll talk to him, she mouthed to me. I only nodded.
I don't think any of us payed attention to the rest of the interview.
Louis hadn't wandered back out here. Hopefully Erica talked to him. Hopefully.
When it was over, I bolted to Louis' dressing room, figuring that's where he'd be. I got to the door, and heard Erica talking. I knocked on the door, and heard a 'come in.'
I walked in and saw Louis first, then Erica.
His eyes were bloodshot, puffy, his cheeks were red. He looked so angry and heartbroken.
"You okay, Lou?" I asked carefully.
"I guess so. I knew they would ask. It just took me by surprise. I didn't even want to come today, because I knew this would happen."
"Do you want to be alone?" I looked from him, to Erica, who shook her head.
"No, I don't," he rubbed his eyes.
"We're leaving! If you aren't to the bus in five minutes, you all are walking to Asia!" Liam yelled.
We all looked at each other, rolloed our eyes, and Erica opened the door, and shot back, "Liam! You can only walk so far! Then you have to swim!"
"Don't be a smart ass with me, Jenkins!" I heard him say.
"Yes, mum!" She looked at us. "I just freaking sassed Liam Payne. Well, looks like my bucket list is almost done."
Lou and I looked at each other and laughed. We all got up and walked to the bus at the back of the building.
"Off to the concert!" Louis yelled as we got on the bus, plastering on a fake smile. At least he's trying. I thought to myself.
Erica disappeared from the bus, and I went to the back of the bus, where we have a small studio. There she was, pencil in hand. Notebook on her lap.
I walked in and she glanced at me, going back to whatever she was doing.
"Watcha writin'?" I asked.
"Can you hand me that guitar please?" She asked, ignoring my question.
I reached behind me and grabbed the black acoustic guitar.
She started playing another song I didn't recognize. She hummed quietly.
She stopped playing. She looked at the notebook, and turned to a different page.
She picked the guitar back up and sang the song from earlier, at the interview.
"You lift my feet off the ground, you spin me around. You make me crazier, crazier. Feels like I'm falling and I am lost in those blue eyes. You make me crazier, crazier, crazier."
"Sounds good, did you write it?" I asked.
"Yeah, Louis helped me with the chorus a little bit."
"Are you going to make that one your new single?"
"No, I already had a different one in mind. I wrote the song when I was, like, thirteen."
"Can I hear it?" Her face lit up.
"Zayn and Louis helped me kind of edit it, I guess. Yeah. Can you sing the harmony? It might sound better."
"Yeah, sure," she handed me the paper and it was very organized. I found the part that had 'harmony' written on it with cursive writing.
"Ooh.Wait a minute before you tell me anything, how was your day?
Cause I've been missing you by my side, yeah.
Did I awake you out of your dreams?
I'm sorry but I couldn't sleep. You calm me down, there's something 'bout the sound of your voice. And I'm never, never, never as far away as it may seem, oh.
Paris, London, Tokyo. There's just one thing that I gotta do.
And I can hardly take another goodbye. Baby, won't be long
You're the one that I'm waiting on.
I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide. You have my heart.
It ain't easy to keep on moving city to city
Just get up and go. Paris, London, Tokyo. There's just one thing that I gotta do.
And I can hardly take another goodbye. Baby, won't be long
You're the one that I'm waiting on. I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide. I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide," the song stopped, and I read over the lyrics again.
"That sounded awesome!" Erica said, excitedly. I smiled.
"Yeah. Maybe it should be a collaboration. One Direction and Erica Jenkins reunite to sing a song. Interesting headline, don't ya think?"
She laughed. "Yeah. But really, it sounds awesome. I'm so excited now."
"What about that other song. I heard you singing it at the interview earlier?"
"Oh, um. That one isn't going on the album," she turned a light pink color. "Why?"
"Too personal."
"Oh," she wasn't telling me why, but I'm not as oblivious as I look.
"We will be at the concert in half an hour!" Harry shouted. Erica and I looked at each other.
"I thought we had a few hours to do whatever we wanted to? Well, I mean, as long as management says it's okay," she smirked. She got up.
"Erica?"
She turned around. "Yeah?"
"The song, the one you said won't be on the album. The part I heard sounded really good."
She smiled, said thanks, blushed a bit, and all I heard after she left, was her yelling Louis' name.

A/n-
Yes, I used Worldwide from Big Time Rush and Crazier by Taylor Swift. I tried making them my own by cutting some parts out and adding parts, like the one about blue eyes in Crazier.
If you people haven't noticed by now, that was about Niall. Just sayin. Yes, I used to be a Big Time Rush fan, I admit it. 2/2 part update!!!! :) ❤❤❤❤❤
