"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me, but bear this in mind it was meant to be. And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks, and it all makes sense to me."

All four boys sang in unison. It sounded even more perfect and beautiful live. As Liam sang his solo, Niall's eyes met mine. His deep blue eyes sparkled in the light. A smile formed on his lips showing his perfect white teeth. I couldn't help but smile back (I mean who couldn't? It was Niall James Horan!!). As the other boys sang their solo's Niall continued to stare at me. His eyes have not left mine during the entire song. It was right before his solo that he broke our gaze. I watched him as he looked down at his guitar. He stopped playing it and twisted it around so it was behind him. He grabbed my hands and started to sing his solo.

"You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you." Water welled up in my eyes. I tried to force it back but a tear managed to escape cascading down my cheek. Niall brought his hand to my face and wiped my tear away. His thumb was soft and tender gliding over my skin. "And you'll never treat yourself right darlin' but i want you too." He took the strand of hair that was falling in my face, and pushed it back behind my ear in it's right spot. His hand lingered there for a second longer then brought it back my hands as he continued to sing. "If I let you know, I'm here, for you." No matter how many times I listened to these lyrics they still got to me. I've always wished someone would sing this song to me and here's Niall Horan of all people singing it to me. I just didn't even feel real. "Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh." My heart swelled and another tear fell from my eye. This time landing where our hands intertwined. Niall gave me a look of concern. I tried my best to keep the other tears from descending down my cheeks, but I failed. I couldn't help it. During Harry's solo Niall covered his mic and asked me what was wrong. Before I could answer Harry's solo ended and they all sang in unison once again. More tears streamed down my face. The more he sang, the more tears there were. "It's you, it's you they add up to. I'm in love with you, and all your little things." Everybody started cheering and screaming while Niall brought both his hands to my cheeks trying to wipe away the tears.

"What's wrong love?" His voice was full of concern

"Nothing wrong. That was just so perfect! You made me feel so special."

"Then why were you crying?" He asked

"Those were tears of joy. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop them. I didn't think I would cry but that song really affected me. In a good way though." I wiped away the remains of my tears as Niall pulled me into a hug. His arms felt so good around me. It felt like he was protecting me.

"You're still so beautiful when you cry." He whispered into my ear sending shivers down my spine. Finally after what seemed like ages (not that I care) he released me from his embrace.

"I want to see you again. Meet me backstage after the show?" he asked.

"But how am I supposed to get back there? The security guards won't let me through, and I already have one guard who hates me."

"Don't worry about that. As long as you state your name and show them your ticket you'll get through. I'll make sure of it," he smiled.

"Okay," I grinned. I noticed that the other girls had already started walking off the stage.

"Well I better get going before I get kicked off the stage," I laughed. Niall chuckled as he gave me another hug and said "I'll see you soon."
