What's Life Without You?

Chapter 09

~Kirrily POV~

All of you, you are so dead. I seethed at everybody in the room. The boys were fortunate enough to temporarily go back on stage to avoid my anger. When their break was over and they were supposed to go back to continue singing, meaning their makeup was redone, Caroline excused herself to the bathroom.

Kendra finally cracked up and I took a swing at her, narrowly missing. “Kirrily, don’t!”

“Explain!” I demanded.

“I can’t explain it to you…yet. Aren’t you meeting up with Simon Cowell tomorrow anyway? Zayn and company will tell you all about this ordeal.” Kendra hinted.

“Urgh so you knew about it the whole time?” I interrogated Kendra.

“Well technically…I didn’t know they were recording you singing but they told me afterwards and if I had told you about their plan, everything would be spoilt.” Kendra stood up and patted my shoulder. “You’ll be thankful for what they’re doing very soon. Very soon.”

I had my hands on my hips, still pissed off and extremely embarrassed. “How dare you Kendra? The whole way through my ‘performance’ I had wanted to dig a hole and bury myself in it!” I stomped my feet on the ground.

“The way you’re burying your feelings for Niall?” Kendra blurted.

“Excuse me?” I looked at Kendra in disbelief.

“Girl, it’s so obvious!” Kendra waved her hands about.

“Well of course it’s obvious! I told you I love him a lot more than I should!” I felt my cheeks growing red.

“No, silly! I mean Niall! It really is obvious that he likes you. You just keep pushing him away.” Kendra pointed out.

“You’re being silly here.” I insisted.

“No I’m not.” Kendra snorted. “Harry’s noticed it as well! And I bet so did the others!”

“Then what do you expect me to do?” I reiterated.

“Talk to him?” Kendra’s laissez-faire directions were not of great help, particularly when the concert’s just ended and the boys were hopping back to the dressing room.

“Huh?” I frowned.

“Talk to him!” Kendra mouthed to me as she pushed me forward to ‘welcome’ Nialler.

“Girls!” They cheered.

“Hey Niall how are you hehe I loved your performance you were great um I bet all the girls loved you.” I didn’t even know what I was saying. I was in fuming rage.

~Narrator POV~

“So you’re not angry at me anymore I see!” Niall was overjoyed.

“EXCUSE YOU NIALL JAMES HORAN I AM EXTREMELY MAD AT YOU BECAUSE YOU HAD JUST EMBARRASSED ME IN FRONT OF HUNDREDS OF YOUR FANS OKAY!” Kirrily exploded. She was livid.

The whole room fell silent. A door squeaked and Caroline returned to the dressing room with the boys’ casual clothes. Noticing the tension, Caroline and Kendra began packing up and let the boys and the band dress. Kirrily walked off to a secluded corner to not watch 5 boys dress, her mind a mess. Harry nodded to Niall, signaling for him to go talk to Kirrily. She was mad at him, yes, but it was the time when she needed him the most too.

“Fudge?” Niall lifted the curtains and knelt beside Kirrily.

“You stupid potato.” Kirrily wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
