Stealing Home

The Concert

Everyone finished and started coming to the van. I got out, and talked to my instructor; I told him about the concert.

"I understand. I guess you can go." He said to me giving me a hug. "be safe! I'll pick you out at the main entrance."

"Okay, I will be. See you later guys!" I said before I got on my skate and rode it back the direction we came.

As I walked in I felt oddly under dressed. There were girls in skirts, and dresses; others were wearing 1D shirts. I was in my giraffe and panda riot society t-shirt, light blue skinnies, vans, and red beanie. One girl gave me a strange look, probably thinking 'who let her in here?' I crossed my eyes and made a weird face at her; she rolled her eyes, and grabbed her friends wrist and walked away.

I waited in line at the ticket booth for ten minutes before getting to the front.

"Name please." Said the woman behind the booth window.

"Molly Stevens. Niall said he saved me a ticket?" I said not quiet sure what she was going to say. She gave me 'sure he did.' Look.

"Sure thing, just let me check." She said sounding annoyed. She clicked at her computer for a minute.

"Well I guess you're right, here you go." She said after printing off my ticket and handing it to me.

"Thank you." I said sweetly, while smiling.

I handed my backpack to the poor man who had to search everyone's bags. He went through my main pocket: sketch pad. Then my middle pocket: sharpies, sunglasses, hand sanitizer. After that he checked the small side pocket, tampons, his face was as red as a fire truck. He quickly zipped the pocket up and handed me my bag. I had to hold in my laughter when I handed the ticket scanner my ticket.

"Thank you." I said laughing as he handed me my ticket.

I found my seat right before the opening band came on. I got really excited to see that it was '5 Seconds of Summer'. They played a bunch of their songs, then they did a cover of blink 182 'i miss you'. The last song they sang was 'too late.' Once again I started to tear up listening to the lyrics. I ran out of the main part of the arena; I leaned against a wall and sank down to the floor, crying. Suddenly I had a feeling someone was in front of me. My suspicions were confirmed when I heard;

"Molly?" It was Paul.

I slowly looked up at him, wiping my tears away with the back of my hand.

"Come with me , hun." He said helping me up.

"Can I have piggy back ride?" I asked, still sniffling.

"Sure." He said with a slight chuckle.

Paul sat me down on a couch in the 'green room' as he called it.

"The boys just went out on stage, but they will be coming back here in an hour. Here's a pass in case you want to go watch from backstage; otherwise it's on the tv right here." Paul told me, handing me the pass and turning on the tv. I decided to stay in the room; it was a lot more comfortable sitting on a couch. I took out a pencil and sketch pad; I started to sketch not really paying attention to what I was doing. I looked down at my sketches, they were all of Niall; a cartoon one of him balancing a soccer all on his head, his eyes, and one of him sleeping. Tears once again started falling down my face. I ripped the paper out, and put it under the pillow next to me. I looked at my watch, it had already been an hour. My phone started ringing.

"Hello?" I asked, wonder who would be calling me.

"Hey molls, it's Luke by the way. We're here, and we have a half an hour to get back to camp." He explained.

"But-" I started.

"I know it sucks, but we need to leave as soon as we can." He said cutting me off.

"Okay." I sighed

"You have like 3 minutes till Skip leaves you. If you wanted to know" he urged.

"Okay, I'm leaving now!" I said hanging up. I quickly put everything back in my backpack. I got distracted when I heard the boys start a new song.

"I would like to dedicate this to a very special girl, sadly I do not think she's here tonight." Niall said. Even on the tv I could hear fans yelling 'Nemi'. Once again I started to cry as they started playing 'little things' they added parts of Taylor swift's 'superstar'. I watched with tears streaming down my face.

I put my remaining items back in my bag and threw it over my shoulder. I walked out of the green room right as the boys were exit ing the stage. I didn't stop I kept walking because I had to find Luke and skip.

*Niall POV *

As we walked off the stage for our break I saw Molly. I followed her; man did she walk fast. I went around the corner I saw her turn at just moments ago. I looked ahead to see her; I was about to yell her name, when I stopped. She embraced a guy in a hug, he looked like stereotypical Californian; He was much taller than she was, a lot tanner also, and he was muscular. I could hear her laugh as he lifted her up and have have her a piggyback ride towards the main gates. I sulked back to the green room. I sat down on the couch, I noticed something that looked to be the corner if a paper sticking out from under one of the pillows. I pulled it out; it was drawings of me some realistic some cartoon. The one that stuck out the most looked like it was a large drawing on the opposite side of the paper, it was me and Molly holding hands. On the bottom right corner was Molly's signature. I crumpled the paper up and threw it into the waste bin.

I pulled out a phone and started a new text message.

To: Molly

"Goodbye."

I hit send and waited for the boys to get done so we could go back out on stage and I could pretend this never happened.
