Authors note:

Just so you guys don't get too confused this chapter goes back and starts just after Riley heard Niall call her seat number. Hope you guys like it!

My heart was racing a million miles a minute, and my body started shaking. I couldn't believe he stopped on my seat! A couple security guards came over to me as the rest of the boys called out their seat numbers. I had no idea what they called out because I wasn't listening. My mind was whirling with different situations that could happen. Like what if I was walking on the stage to Niall, and I tripped and fell in front of all these people. Or what if I said something stupid that only made sense to me, and I sounded like a complete idiot? What if I threw up on Niall while he was singing to me? Riley, no. None of those things are going to happen. I said to myself. I took a couple of deep breaths to calm myself down. For some reason I started to get an ache in my arm. Why in the world does my arm hurt? I felt like someone was squeezing it really hard. I looked at my arm. I couldn't believe I was that stupid. It was the security's grip on my arm. I had completely forgotten I had two guards on each side of me. See this is the kind of idiotic thing I was talking about and it was all Niall's fault. I thought.

"Excuse me, but you really don't have to hold onto my arm that hard," I told the guard.

"It's my job I have to," he rudely said.

"Um, well it's actually really starting to hurt and it's not like I'm going to run."

He looked down at me and glared. He barely loosened his grip, but I didn't want to say anything. I got the feeling he didn't quite like me.

It felt like hours until I was finally walking onto the stage. Wait a minute. I was on the stage. I was on One Direction's stage. Niall Horan was standing there waiting for me. Niall Horan was going to sing to me. I nervously walked across the stage carefully placing each foot in front of each other. I automatically started playing with my wristband on my arm. I always did that when I was nervous. Niall was watching me with a giant grin on his face. Who couldn't love this boy?

I stopped in front of him and opened my mouth to speak hoping I wouldn't sound like an idiot.

"Hey Niall," I said. Wow that came out more confident than I expected.

"Hey," he squeaked and quickly cleared his throat. I giggled and thought Aww he's way to cute!

"Sorry," he chuckled. "What's your name love?" I just about died when he said love. The way the word cascaded from his lips made me weak in the knees. My heart started beating even faster (as if that was even possible).

"Riley," I said.

"What a beautiful name, Riley." This boy! He was too much. I can't take any more of his sweetness. I might actually end up in the hospital if he continues.

"Thanks," I blushed. And there we stood. Omg I'm so awkward. Say something Riley! After 10 minutes (it seemed), I finally spoke.

"So what song are you guys planning on singing to us?"

"That's a secret. You'll have to wait to find out," he winked. Why did I ask that? Of course he wouldn't tell me. I'm so stupid

It wasn't long before the other girls were on the stage and Liam said, "Now that everyone is here, shall we get started?"

"Yeees!" Everybody in the stadium screamed, including Niall, Harry, and Louis. Niall went to go grab his acoustic guitar, and he pointed towards a chair. I didn't notice until now that there were four chairs evenly spread out across the stage. The other three girls were already sitting in their chairs waiting on me. Embarrassed, I quickly rushed towards mine. As I sat down, Niall started to play the first few notes of the song, and I immediately knew which one it was.
