When he finally pulled back, I didn't open my eyes. I just leaned back and layed my head on his chest. I felt him stick my phone back in my pocket.

"Hey Niall?"

"Hmm?"

"You should sing for me."

"Why?"

"Well because.......because you can. If you're lucky enough to have a voice like yours, you should use it."

"I-I.......can't. I just can't. They might remember."

"Who might remember?"

"It's..............complicated."

"It's not really. You just open your mouth and sing."

He stopped for a moment before answering me again.

"Will it make you happy?"

"The happiest girl in the world."

Niall grabbed a guitar and went up on stage. He started strumming on his guitar, and soon after he began to sing. There was already a big crowd, but Niall just made it bigger. People kept gathering from all different directions to hear him. Niall had the most amazing voice. It was soft, and somehow, he managed to change my heart a little. He changed everyone's heart. We all stood there, with this odd feeling of love and affection boiling up inside of us.

Niall looked at me the entire time he sang. The song was so sweet, and somehow, so familiar.

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth, but if I do, its you, oh it's you they add up to, I'm in love with you, and all your little things.

Everyone cheered as Niall finished the song. He put down the guitar, and stood up off the stool he had been sitting on. But he looked sad and I thought I saw a tear in his eyes. He walked off the stage and headed straight over to me.

"Um....you wanna go get something to eat?" He asked.

"Sure! You were amazing! How about we go to.........Anny Bella's? It's a nice little restaurant near the bakery."

"Ok. Any thing for you!"

"Table for two." Niall told the waiter.

"Right this way." He said. We followed him to a table in the corner of the back of the room.

I'll be back. I'm gonna go to the bathroom."

"Ok." Niall said. "I'll be waiting here."

I headed to the other side of the restaurant. The bathrooms were in the front. As I passed by the window, I saw something flash by. I heard the ding of the bell on the door. I turned to find Ben standing there, staring at me wide-eyed and jaw dropped.
