Song Fic Challenge: Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

Niall's POV:

I think back to the day it happened. I was up on the stage in Atlanta when I saw her. She was a vision of Heaven itself. She had beautiful golden hair and couldn't have been any taller than myself. She had a tearful glint to her eyes as she sang alon with every song the boys and I performed.  I knew the moment I saw her that I had to know this girl. As I sang one of my solos, I looked straight at this girl. I wish I had some way to let her know how I felt. 

After the concert, I knew I had to catch her before she had the chance to leave. I noticed that she was in the third row, 7th seat from the right. I tried to get over there before she was gone, but I didn't. 

When I got to the seat she had been sitting in, I found a slip of paper though. It must have fallen from her pocket or her purse. I unfolded it to reveal the most beautiful handwriting that I've ever seen. But, the handwriting wasn't the only beautiful thing about this note. It was the content of it as well. 

The note said: "And I'd give up forever to touch you 'cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't want to go home right now."

Underneath that lyrical sounding line was what appeared to be a Twitter username. Maybe she had planned to give this to someone, maybe to me. As I was looking at this, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn to see Louis behind me.

He says, "What are you so distracted by?"

I tell him it's nothing and try to hide the paper, but it was no use. Louis grabbed it before I could stuff it in my jacket pocket.

He reads it and then looks at me.

"You realize what this first line is don't you?"

I think silently about it then shake my head no.

"It's the opening lines of a popular song titled 'Iris'. It's by a band called the Goo Goo Dolls. Where did you find this?"

I point to the seat where the golden haired angel had been sitting.

Louis smiles then runs backstage, tugging me along. 

When we get to hisdressing room, we pull out his laptop. He immediately goes to Twitter and gets me to log in. He then grabs the computer and types in the bottom part of the note. He then clicks the result that popped up from the search and clicked on her twitpics. 

He flips through them then says, "Is this the girl that was in that seat?"

I look at the picture he had stopped on. It indeed was the girl. She had the same beautiful hair. And not until now had I seen the beautiful color of her eyes. They were a stunning collor that seemed like they couldn't choose between blue or green. I nod, signalng to Lou that this is her. He clicks around on her page.

He says, "Her name's Hailey. And she lives in this state."

He searches the town's name and we discover that it is only an hour or two north east of here.

*** Two Days Later ***

Hailey's POV:

I was at home when my friends and I decided to go out and eat at the local Italian restaurant. We walked in and sat down at the bigger table in the back. As we talked and laughed, we all look over to see five of the most handsome guys ever walk in. Wait...I KNOW these guys.

One of my friends came to the conclusion of their identities before I did.

"OH MY GOSH!!! IT'S ONE DIRECTION!!!"
