Care For You // n. h.

Me and Niall laid there for a while, in silence. It was so nice. We could hear the frenzy of people outside and also when the fans came into the venue and they played music on the speakers.

I'm not usually very open to other people, especially boys. I'm reserved and I like my privacy, unless your outgoing and you'll help me grow out of my shell. So it was nice but also a little tedious to sit here with him.

I heard his phone ding and I quickly sat up so he'd be able to check his phone.

He sighed as he read it.

"I wish I didn't have to leave but, its Lou, she says she needs me now." He said sitting up. I sat up and let him stand too.

"We can hang out again after the concert." He told me smiling. I nodded and smiled back at him.

"Come on, we can walk back together. He said reaching out and holding my hand. My heart started to skip a beat.

Often times, for me at least, when boys hold my hand or hug me, and I'm somewhat interested in them, I'll get a little nervous. I got this feeling when he held my hand, and I knew then, that I couldn't stop myself from developing feelings.

No Alice, stop. Your not allowed too.

We slipped out of the room and there was a little less commotion than before. He kept our hands close to his side and kind of shielded then from people passing by. Nobody was paying attention to us really anyways.

I looked out to see if Jim's daughter was around or if he was. If him or his daughter saw this I would be so dead.

Suddenly a door swung open and almost hit me. I jumped back and saw Liam walk out with none other Jim's daughter. I immediately let go of Niall's hand and put my hands in my pockets.

"Oh my gosh, Alice I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Liam said in a concerned tone.

"I'm fine, don't worry. I moved out of the way before the door opened. I told him glancing down at Jim's daughter who was standing there with her arms crossed.

"Okay good. Kiana was having me show her our equipment." He said as he gave Niall a look.

"Hey, Kiana have you seen Lux yet today?" Niall asked looking down at her.

"Is she here?!" She asked excitedly. She had on black leggings and a white top with a jean jacket over it. She was probably around 4'11. She had black hair that was straight. She was probably going to grow up to be really pretty, but she was being raised to be a little bratty.

"Yeah, Lou will tell you where she is. Come on were going to find Lou right now." Niall said walking towards their dressing room.

"By the way, Lux is Lou's daughter." Liam whispered to me. I laughed and nodded in response.

After Kiana was distracted by Lux, Niall started getting ready as I chatted with Liam.

"You and Lisa seem to be getting close." He said taking a sip from a water bottle.

"Yeah. We like to hang out on the days we have off and we've found we have a lot in common." I told him running my hands through my tangled bangs.

"Thats good, I'm glad you two have bonded. She tells me sometimes that she wishes she had a close girl friend to talk to. And I think she's finally found that with you." He said warm heartedly. It made me feel good. Liam seemed to bring out the best in everyone. Or at least thats how it felt. When Lisa tells stories about him or the band I can tell he's really not in it for the money. He's a genuine guy and he just wants to live his dream and make other people happy.
