Something Great ||Niall Horan||

Chapter Eight

No, I cannot let you through," the security guard said for the third time getting very irritated.

"But she was up on stage with Niall," Autumn protested.

"He told her to meet him backstage!" Hayden yelled throwing her hands up in the air in a frustrated motion.

"He said to me that all I had to do was show my ticket to you and all would be fine," I said attempting to shove my ticket into his hands.

"Look I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do for you. I have no proof whatsoever that he talked to you. You fans come up with these crazy ideas sometimes," the security guard said shrugging his shoulders. My eyebrows furrowed together as my frown got deeper. Did he really just say that? He sure is an asshole. Heck all of these security guards were assholes! Hayden must've been thinking the same thing as me because she scoffed and said, "Look here mister, Riley," she pointed towards me. "Was up on that stage with Niall Horan and if you don't believe me then why don't you go ask him yourself! Oh but wait if you do that you'll think that we'll just sneak in when you're gone because "Oh were crazy fangirls who come up with crazy plans, and we can't think for ourselves because our craziness has taken over us." Hayden had said in her best impression of the guard and let me tell you it was pretty accurate. He was about to say something but Hayden cut him off continuing her rant. "Now you let us through or I will report you to the police for rape and you will spend the rest of your miserable life in jail. And everyday you will think back to this day and wish you would've let us through. And no we aren't some crazy ass fangirls we are simply doing what Niall requested." She said that last part folding her hands in front of her and sounding incredibly innocent like she didn't just threaten him. The security guard stood there agape. A flicker of terror passed before his eyes, and he just stood there shocked. Before he could regain his composure a familiar voice called out.

"Hey Riley!" Niall couldn't have come at a better time. He flawlessly sauntered over to us with a grin on his face and a twinkle in his eye. His eyes appeared to be more blue than before. On the stage they seemed deep blue like a ocean, almost royal blue but not quite. Now they were like a icy blue. Either way I could fall into a daze staring into them. His eyes me to another place. A place where I've never been before. A place where everything was flawless and the world was perfect.

"Riley? Riiiiley... RILEY!" I jumped, startled, and confused as to what was happening. I blinked twice and, I shook my head bringing myself back to reality.

"Yeah?" I asked directing my voice to Autumn once I realized she was the one who yelled at me.

"You were in one of your dazes again weren't you? Anyways we asked Niall if we could come backstage too and, he said yes so let's goooo!" Autumn whined. I turned my head back to Niall only now noticing that he had his hand extended out. How long was he waiting for me to grab it? Oh I'm such a loser. Here I was standing there completely zoned out while Niall was there waiting for me to accept my hand in his. I mentally face-palmed as I intertwined my hand with his. Wait. What did this mean? Did this mean that Niall liked me? Or maybe it was just a friendly gesture. Why does this boy make my feelings go to mush and, I can't even think properly anymore!? Ugh I swear he's going to drive me mentally crazy if he continues like this. Not that I want him to stop.

"So do you want to meet the rest of the boys?" he sweetly asked.

"Yeah of course!!" Hayden screeched. Niall looked at her and chuckled. I had already forgotten that both Hayden and Autumn were with us. That's when I started blushing profusely. Autumn and Hayden were walking beside us eyeing our intertwined hands, giggling and whispering to each other. I looked at Niall and he seemed oblivious to them. Oh boy, I was in for it once it was just us three. Fifty questions a minute here we come.

Suddenly we abruptly stopped. I was about to ask why we stopped when I looked up and saw the words "Dressing Room" printed on the door.

"The lads are just in here. Don't worry I already told them that I'd be introducing you guys so, they won't be surprised," Niall explained. His hand let go of mine and opened the door. He went in first followed by me, Hayden and Autumn.
