Louis

"I don't hear-" was all I managed to say before Liam turned around and gave a shut- your- pie- hole face.

What did I do?

I couldn't hear anything and I had my hearing heighten. I was ready to ask what Liam was trying to hear when Harry placed his hand over my mouth. I crossed my arms over my chest. I knew when to be quiet.

Liam looked hesitant to open the door of our dressing room. What was making him so apprehensive?

Just open the bloody door Liam!

Behind the door laid Niall and Kenzie and she had fainted only moments before. Zayn was supposed to bring her to our dressing room so that they could all meet her. Maybe the smile on my face made it prominent that I had been the first person to have met her. That smile then turned to a smirk. I smirked at the idea that she had not recognize who I was. Though it also disappointed me a little.

What was Liam waiting for?

Niall needed the blood in my hands. Kenzie was inside and I was anxious to see her. Liam mumbled something under his breath, he looked back at me and gave me a see- what- you- did look. His hand reached for the door knob and he opened the door slightly. Harry had removed his hand from over my mouth. They looked at each other wondering who was going to go in first. They were all taking their sweet time like if it were something to think hard on. I couldn't wait for them to choose who would walk in. I pushed through the boys and saw Kenzie sitting next to Niall on the couch. I threw the bottle at Niall as I ran towards and jumped on top of her.

"Kenzie, you're okay! Are you bruised? How many fingers am I holding up? Do you know who I am? Did Niall treat you right?" I was so overjoyed to see her again and to say overjoyed was still an understatement. I was ecstatic. Just being near her, knowing she was here made my emotions all neurotic.

"Oi, mate. Let her breathe." Harry chuckled slightly. I rolled my eyes at him and moved from being on top of her and smushed myself between her and Niall.

"Yeah, I am. No I don't think so. Four. Louis. Yes." She answered each easily.

"How did you do that?" I asked. She had answered every one of my questions in order and I was left like I assume as the other boys gaping.

"I have good memory," she blushed.

"Well, it is nice to know that there is someone capable of keeping up with Louis. I'm Harry. Harry Styles." Harry got himself together faster than the rest of us, and extended his hand, being the o' so gentleman he always seem to be and she took it.

"I'm Liam. Liam Payne." Liam followed Harry.

"Nice meeting ya. My name is Mackenzie. But people just call me Kenzie," Kenzie said a bit shyly.

"Nice meeting you Kenzie," Harry and Liam said in unison. Everyone just stood staring at each other. It was weird. Awkward.

"So what happened? Why did you faint?" I asked. Kenzie looked at me. Our eyes locked.

"I don't know. Zayn was taking me to get my CD autographed and when we got near the door I couldn't breathe anymore," she looked down at her hands clearly confused by all of this, much like us.

"Well, you're okay, love, that's what really matters. So now about that autographed CD," I said. She looked up again; the boys were all smiling and had taken out their sharpies. She handed me the CD. I stared at the CD to find that Niall had already signed it. My turn.

Dear Sophie,

Your sister is the nicest sister I ever met. Maybe next time I'll get to meet you.

-Louis

I signed the photo and handed the CD and photo to Liam. Kenzie just stared at all of us, trying to capture every bit of the scene.

"I can't believe I didn't recognize ya'll are part of One Direction. If it wasn't for Niall, I would have never realized who I was talking with. When I met you and Zayn I felt like I knew you from somewhere. I just couldn't remember from where. Now I know why," she said. I laughed. I laughed so hard I fell off the couch. She had finally recognized us. Harry then started laughing. Liam, Niall and Zayn all smiled.

"Mind Lou over there. He's a bit dramatic sometimes," Zayn said.

"Am not," I tried to say between laughs.

"Sure Lou," Niall said. I stopped laughing and got up and sat next to her once more. Zayn was the last one to sign her CD and photo. He handed it to her. She read the CD that held from what I could see more than autographs. She smiled.

"Thanks guys," she said.
