~Niall's POV~
It's been a month. A month filled with tears, cheers and beers. Tour was going great, all the fans loved Riley and how well her beautiful voice blended with ours. The fans even made names for all of us, Zayn+Riley=Rayn Louis+Riley= Louri Me and Riley were Niley, Liam's was Riam. Riley and Harry weren't that close and were never by each other during any outings we had so they never got a name.
I was just sitting on the couch with Zayn watching the tv when my phone started vibrating on the coffee table our feet were on. I groaned and sat up from my position and seen I got a text from Riley. Which was weird because she was just upstairs in our room.
'get up here now!'
I looked over to Zayn and showed him the text to see if he knew why she had sent that to me. He shrugged his shoulders and looked probably more confused than I did. We got up and went up the stairs yawning.
"What do you think she wants?" Zayn asked.
"I have no idea Zaynie" I replied.
We got to the door and pushed it open to see Riley sitting on her bed crying. We ran over to her asking what was wrong and rubbing her back so she'd calm down.
"Riley, calm down love, it's okay, talk to us babe" Zayn said trying to calm her.
She looked up to us and opened her mouth to talk but nothing came and we just watched her waiting for her to say something when she rolled her eyes and took out her phone and typed something on it. She turned it around so we could see what she typed.
'I can't talk, I lost my voice, how am I supposed to do the show tonight!?!?!?'
"Ri, it's okay, we don't have to do the show if you don't want to" I said.
She shook her head at my suggestion and started typing again.
'No! I'm not going to be the reason ur fans end up hating u for!'
I laughed at this because she always over reacted at the littlest things.
Zayn sat up and looked at the floor for a little then looked at us with a smile appearing in her face. "She knows how to play the guitar right?" I nodded still confused as to what he was getting at. "Well instead of you playing the guitar tonight, we'll have her play! We'll tell the fans the truth, that she's sick and lost her voice, but didn't want to disappoint them so she'll be acting like our little Nialler on stage!"
'Will the other guys be okay with it?' She typed out.
"They're going to have to be" I said smiling.

"Ten minutes guys!" A crew member yelled from the door of our dressing room. Riley was asleep on the couch because of the medicine she took almost two hours ago. So being the lovely best friend I am. I jumped on top of her making her groan under me. This was great because usually she would be yelling at me and using colorful words at me but since she can't talk, she just glared at me as I smiled at her.
"Get up lazy, we got ten minutes and you need to be awake and ready in five"
She just rolled her eyes and pushed me off of her and fixed her hair in the mirror Zayn was using.
"You smell of vanilla strawberries my love" Harry said gaining an eye roll from Riley who just smacked his shoulder, annoyed that she was woken up.
"Well you do" he laughed.
~Riley's POV~
We were all standing off to the side of the stage as we were waiting for our que to head out on to the stage. All the boys were laughing about something Harry had said just a few minutes ago. I would tell you what it was but I wasn't paying attention to them because the nerves were starting to get to me. After the first show, all the nerves went away, it was all just excitement since our first concert together, which went amazing. But this concert was different because the first time I really practiced the songs on a guitar was just over two hours ago at rehearsals before I passed out from the medicine I took. I was biting my lip when I seen Liam watching me. I looked up at him and he gave me a small smile and walked over to me pulling me into a hug.
"Love, you're going to be alright. The fans will understand. And if you mess up we'll just act like it was on purpose and laugh about it. Okay?" He said as he pulled away from the warm hug.
I nodded and took a shaky breath as we were rushed out onto stage where there was a bar stool with Niall's guitar leaning against it, and a couch for the boys to sit. The fans went crazy as always as they ran out saying their hellos and I walked fast behind Niall who kept looking back at me over his shoulder.
He pulled me next to him and put his arm around my shoulder and whispered into my ear to just relax and have fun. About 100 fans seen it and started yelling 'Niley' and taking pictures. I smiled up at him and put my arm around his waist as we continued walking to the couch.
"Before you guys start asking questions on why Riley doesn't have her mic, Niall will tell you." Liam said "Niall" he stated and nodded at him.
"Hi guys!" Niall said into the mic making the fans scream more.
"Who's a Niley shipper!?" He asked the fans and erupted into cheers. He out his arm around putting me in a head lock and smiling to the fans. I pushed him off of him and smirked up at him.
He looked at me a fake hurt expression before running over to Zayn and cried into his shoulders.
"How dare you hurt my Nialler! He's just a little leprechaun!" Zayn yelled over to me cause the Ziall girls to go crazy. He pick Niall up bridal style and carried him across the stage. Struggling a lot. He walked back over to the couch and plopped down beside Harry.
I looked over at Niall and him my puppy dog face that he never said no.
And as I felt someone bump into my side I seen Liam doing the puppy dog face too. And soon Harry and Louis joined us.
"Stop it guys!" Niall cried out. But we didn't stop we started acting like we were crying as much as it hurt my throat, I wasn't leaving this stage till the show was over.
Niall came running over to me pulling me into a hug that made the fans go crazy.
"How could you Niall!? I thought what we had meant something to you!" Zayn started fake crying into the pillow that was on the couch next to him.
Niall sighed heavily as he stood in the middle of us and looked back and forth between us.
"I'm so confused" Niall mumbled into his mic making the fans laugh.
Harry ran over to him and hugged in,what looked like a bone crushing hug. Which made all the 'Narry' girls scream.
These boys were crazy.
"Since Niall is confused, which isn't hard to make him' Louis said smiling over to Niall as he said that' Ill tell you guys why Ri here doesn't have a mic. She's sick and lost her voice. And since she didn't want to cancel the show or not show up, Zaynie over there decided she could play Niall's guitar and act like Niall tonight" he said and as if one que, the lights went out and the beat of "Rock Me" started playing.

~Niall's POV~
"I'll never get over this feeling after doing a show" Liam said as we piled into the van that would take us back to the hotel. We all mumbled our agreements as we were changing out clothes because Paul was being difficult and made us leave as soon as we were done.
"How ya feelin' Ri?" Zayn asked as he poked Riley.
She just slapped his hand away and pulled the hood of her sweatshirt, well my sweatshirt, and put her head phones in. Blocking us out of her own little world.
She looked beautiful, exhausted, but beautiful as we passed the street lights to our hotel. But something seemed different, other than she was sick. I'll have to bug her about it tomorrow after she sleeps.
I repeated Riley's action pulling my hood over my head and resting it against Zayn's shoulder. And soon I was asleep with the rest of the boys except Harry who kept looking at Riley then his phone. Have I mentioned he was a weird lad?
