"You're sat in the front row, they haven't let any fans in yet so tell any security that you're my guest and they should understand." He explained rapidly, leading me out onto a huge stage.

"Woah." I gasped, staring at the sea of empty seats that seemed endless.

"It's quite something." Niall laughed as he noticed my look of awe, throwing an arm around me he leant onto me.

"It is." I managed to breath, returning his hug as gentle music began to filter across the speakers, the techs checking that everything was in order for the sow.

Before I could move to my seat Niall linked his hand in mine and span me around, twirling me across the stage as I fought to hold back a giggle. He caught up with me as I tripped on a stray wire, falling onto him so that his arms wrapped around me, pulling me to his chest. I sighed in relief, I'd fallen over too many times that day already. Slowly we began to sway to the music, my head rested on Niall's shoulder and my body relaxing in his safe embrace as we danced around the empty stage.

The tune slowly faded and I felt Niall step away from me.

"Sorry...I...uh." He excused, his face flushed as he ran a hand through his hair and sprinted from the stage, leaving me alone.

"Don't be." I muttered to myself, feeling that he didn't want the moment to happen.

I vaulted from the stage and climbed over the barrier, taking the seat that I presumed was mine.

Good luck Niall, gonna try and sing along but no promises A xx

I texted as fans began to stream into the venue, their shouts and screams filling my ears as I spotted Ben and Lucy struggling to get to their seats.

"Ready?" I asked, looking either side of me, suddenly nervous to see the boys I had so recently befriended perform as the world-wide superstars they were.

"These are my idols, are you kidding?" Ben grinned.

"Their voices are the definition of perfect." Lucy nodded, shouting over the screams that surrounded us.

"Directioners." I giggled, shaking my head as I received another text.

Thanks princess N xx

I smiled to myself, trying not to blush as my phone vibrated in my hand, making me jump.

Naw sending Niall xx are we? Lou-Bear

With a sigh I slid my phone back into my pocket, not ready to face Louis questions. I was just removing my hand from my pocket when the phone vibrated again.

"Seriously, I don't get any texts for years and then all of these in one day." I groaned to myself, unlocking the phone and sliding across to the text icon.

You're wearing my shoes, we appear to have them mixed up...should have my name on the tongue? Fancy returning them? N xx

I looked down at my feet, suddenly aware that my shoes were a little to big for my feet.

"What?" Lucy asked as I slapped my forehead, the shoes confirming Niall's suspicion.

"Niall has my shoes and I have Niall's shoes." I explained as Ben collapsed with laughter, the surrounding fans becoming confused.

Yeah, when do you want them? A xx

I texted, the screams becoming louder and louder.

"About now?" An Irish voice suddenly said from above me.

"Oh...hey." I smiled sheepishly as Niall leapt from the stage and held my shoes out over the barrier.
