*Megan's POV*

"What?" I asked, Sierra, turning around, a confused look on my face. She had her hands on her hips, a patronising look on her face.

"Don't play dumb with me, missy. I saw the look in your eyes. What is going on between you two?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." I said, walking to the living room and plopping myself down on the couch. "Niall and I are just friends. Nothing is happening or will happen. I don't even have those kinds of feelings for him." I said. Hopefully she wouldn't see through my bluff. I mean, I don't think I have feelings for him.

She didn't buy it. "Mm-hm. Right." She sat on the coffee table. "Tell me what happened last night, Megan." She said, folding her arms across her chest. She was stubborn.

But I was more. "Sierra, seriously. Nothing is going on!" I stared her straight in the face.

"MEGAN KATHLEEN MCGALLAGAR!!!!! DON'T YOU DARE LIE TO ME!" She screamed at me.

I sighed. "Alright." She instantly perked up. She knew that she always wins. "Well, last night, after hide and seek, I went for a walk, and Niall followed me. We talked, we walked, and we sat at this hill. We were just talking, and we kept coming back to him leaving. And then, I don't know. I-I think we almost kissed." I mumbled the last few words, but Sierra heard me.

"WHAT!?" She yelled, jumping up. "You never thought to tell me before? This is NOTHING!?" She grabbed my shoulders. "This is huge!" She shook my shoulders.

"But, I don't know if I like him or not. Niall and I have been friends for a long time. I don't wanna ruin it." I said, avoiding eye contact.

"Megs,". Sierra said, sitting next to me. "I know he feels the same way. Who wouldn't like you?" She gave me a hug. "I've seen the way he looks at you. You hafta trust me on this one." She pulled away.

"Thanks, SiSi." I said. Then I laid down and took a nap to clear my thoughts. Why was this so confusing?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*Niall's POV*

I got in my car and drove to my flat. We had to go do this quick interview. I was to change and meet the boys at Liam's place.

I walked in, went up stairs to my room, and changed into a blue polo and khakis. I put on a pair of blue supras, and headed back downstairs to go to Liam's. I walked down the block, reaching the house at the end. I went right in, and plopped myself down on the couch.

"Hey, mates." I said, pulling out my phone, checking the twitter mentions.

"Nialler! Where have you been!?" Louis said, running over to me and sitting next to me.

"I was over at Megan's. I had to bring her home, remember?" I told him, locking my phone.

"Right. Well, we have to leave soon. Zayn is on his way, and Harry is in the toilet." He pulled out his phone and started texting Eleanor. Liam came over and sat next to me.

"So, how was your day, Niall?" He said.

"Good. I just took her home after breakfast, and we watched Finding Nemo. Then you texted me, and I had to go." I said, checking twitter.

"Oh. Alright." He said.

"What is it, Li?" I asked him. He sounded troubled.

"Nothing, Niall. I was just asking." He said. He still seemed distracted.

Harry came out of the toilet. "Niall, mate! How was your date?" He said, emphasising the last word.

I threw a pillow at him. "Shut up, Hazz. It wasn't a date."

"Aww, little Nialler is blushing!" Louis chimed in.

"Shut up!" I said. My face was probably beet red.

"Guys, don't tease him!" Liam said, even though he was smiling.

"Yeah, don't tease me!"

"Tease you about what?" Zayn said, walking in.

"About his girlfriend!" Harry said.

"She's not my girlfriend! We're just best friends!" I yelled, throwing my hands up in the air. The boys just gave me looks.

"Niall, you seriously think we're gonna believe that?" Liam said.

"Yeah, we've all seen the way you look at her. You light up when you see her." Louis said. "Admit it, you like her." He said, poking my stomach. I slapped his hand away, but missed.

"Guys, I don't. Now get off my case!" I said, getting off the couch. "Don't we have an interview to go to?"

"Right. C'mon, lads. We're gonna be late." Liam said, herding us out the door.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was about an hour in the car to get to the studio. We were going to sing and do an interview on some British talk show. We got there and were whisked backstage. Someone attached mics to our shirts, and told us our cue. We went on and were greeted by a live audience. We said hello to the host, and she asked us how we were doing, and about our tour, and stuff like that. Then she started asking personal questions.

"So, boys, what's it like taking a break? What have you done so far?" Betsey asked. That was the interviewers name.

"Well,". Louis started. "We've just hung out as a group and have done some stuff. Niall actually met up with an old friend." He smiled at me.

"Really? Who's your friend?"

"Umm, well, it's my old friend from Mullingar. I don't wanna say any names, but we've been friends our whole lives basically. It's been fun hanging out with her and spending some time with her. I haven't seen her for awhile." I said.

"Her?" Betsey asked. Oh boy.

"Yeah. She's been my neighbour for forever. We're really close." I said. Harry nudged me, and smiled his mischievous smile.

"We think he likes her." He said. My face turned tomato red, and I gave him a little shove. He just shoved back.

"Yeah, Niall here has a little crush, we think." Louis said, patting my head. My face was hot, so I was definitely blushing.

"Quiet, Lou!" I said, looking down.

"Well, Niall, I won't push you, but if you do have a crush on her, she must be something special." Betsey ended, then said we would be singing after the break.

We went backstage and got our mics and earbuds. "Thanks a lot, lads. What if she was watching?" I said.

They just laughed. "Well, at least she knows how you feel!" Zayn said.

"I didn't say anything!" I said.

"Niall, mate, your face was bright red, I think they know you like her." Liam said, putting a hand on my shoulder. I just shrugged it off, and got ready to sing Kiss You. What if she was watching? What if our friendship is ruined? What if she doesn't feel the same?
