IN WHICH he has her dress of hers that she rarely wore, and still has it hung up in his closet in his bedroom, the only article of clothing in the middle of his closet and he longed to give it back to her and ask her for forgiveness.

She watched him leave, locking the doors when he got out before grabbing her phone, opening a text to Billie's whatsapp number.

She looked up as she saw a shadow over her legs, seeing niall at her window she grinned and turned her phone off and rolled the window down.
"10 piece nugget with a medium fry and a large sprite for the princess" he said, handing her a bag and a large cup filled with her favourite sparkly clear soda.
"Thank you" she hummed and put the bag in her lap and the cup into a cup holder, holding her hands out to take his as well.
He handed his bag that contained a burger and fries and his large coca cola "your welcome, theres paps out so roll the window up" he advised, knowing how much she hated anything paparazzi.
She nods and immediately rolled the window up, scrunching down in her seat since the windows werent that tinted.
He chuckled at her as he got in, immediately starting to drive to the venue.
When they got to the venue she immediately got out, holding both bags of food, Niall grabbing their drinks and leading her to his green room where his opener was sitting to talk with Niall about something.
She stayed behind Niall, letting the other direct her to where she could sit, feeling sheepish at the sight of a new person.
"Ashlyn, go make yourself comfy and start eating, ok? Holden and I are just gonna talk for a bit" Niall said, turning to look at the girl
She looked up at him with softened eyes before nodding and going to sit on the floor near the makeup and hair chair.
He smiled at her and sat on the chair she sat next to, swapping her drink for his bag of food, talking with the curly haired American she'd never seen.
Hours later, Ashlyn was put into a spare dressing room, with Billie. Billie held a beautiful yellow sundress that Ashlyn had packed just in case her and Billie decided to do something fancy while visiting Ireland.
"You're going on stage tonight, huh?" Billie asked the blonde who held scissors in her hand, the other holding hair ties.
"He wants to duet 'Till Forever Falls Apart', he had it on loop this morning when I looked at his Spotify earlier" she said, accidentally fawning over her ex fiance as she tied her hair into four sections, using a second hair tie on each section to make an area to cut.
"Ashe, youre fawning" Billie made the blonde aware, getting up to help the blonde with sectioning.
"I know but I mean he deserves it, I had an attack today and he made sure I wasn't papped while I was and he also let me vent and-" she stopped, looking in the mirror
"Go on" Billie encouraged
"We kissed" she whispered, her hand going to her lips, feeling the tingles of missing. She already missed Niall's lips against hers, she felt pathetic on how quickly she missed Niall.
"You what?" Billie said wide eyed, looking in the mirror at the blonde who nodded.
"I kissed him after he let me vent, it was an accident but he said no strings attatched and that we could kiss all the time if I wanted, that he wanted to kiss me even if I didn't do it back and vice versa-" she rambled on and on until her hair was finished being cut, dropping the lengthy hair into a trash can.
She quickly brushed out her hair and kicked off her shoes, dropping her phone onto the couch before leaving the dressing room to make her way to the side stage where Niall told her to go.
She shook her hands out as she listened to Niall singing his song 'Save My Life', noticing Holden, the curly haired American that she had met earlier. She went up to the American with a smile.
"Hi Holden, I heard you playing earlier, you did pretty amazing" she said softly.
Holden smiled at her as well, holding his arm out to give her a side hug "thanks, it means a lot especially coming from you, I really enjoy your music"
She felt her face heat up, "thank you" she hugged him back.
She heard Niall start singing 'Black and White' and knew that was her queue to get ready. The crew gave her a pair of spare in ear monitors and a microphone that she tested earlier with Niall when they ran through 'Till Forever Falls Apart' at soundcheck.
She watched as Niall played guitar, glancing to the side stage every so often to get a glance at her, letting her know he still remembered their first night spent together.
