Niall had his hand on my back still when we walked back into the dressing room, and he nodded reassuringly, like he knew this was not going to be a problem. Well, he was wrong. Lying to my parents, ok, that wasn’t exactly something new. Lying to my best friend, that was still hard enough. Even lying to the world was better than lying to girls who were in actual, sweet, good, true, honest, and legit relationships. 

“There she is!”. I’d seen her on TV several times, and it was just as surreal as seeing the boys. “I’m Perrie”, she said, and her arms pulled me into a hug. I could smell how gorgeous she was, literally, with sweet perfume making me even more overwhelmed than just a hug from the famous Perrie Edwards. 

“I know”, I squeaked, and tried to put on a smile. Perrie threw her head back with laughter. 

“You’re so cute”, she grinned. Cute? Niall giggled to himself, and his hand slipped away from my back. My first instinct was to pull him back and yell at him to not leave me here. But that would look kind of ridiculous. “And you must be Saoirse”, Perrie said, and swung an arm over my shoulder. 

“Yeah”, my voice was still squeaking, and I desperatly tried to clear my throat. “But call me Sair”. Perrie was looking for someone else though, her arm still holding me tight. 

“Girls! She’s here!”, she called. Through the little crowd of stylists, and publicists, and managers and God know’s who in the tiny dressing room, appeared two others, who I very well knew the name of. 

“Oh, hi!”, the first one shook my hand. “I’m Eleanor”.

“Hi”, I smiled, and tried to let my shoulders drop and act ‘cool’. That was after all how my 'boyfriend' had described me on the radio. God, what an idiot. “I’m Sair”. 

“I know”, Eleanor Calder laughed. 

“I’m Danielle”. Danielle had a firm handshake, but soft eyes. “It’s so nice to meet you”. 

“The secret girlfriend”, Perrie added. 

“I bet Niall dragged you down here just because we were nagging, didn’t he?”, Danielle laughed. I tried to laugh with them all, but shook my head. Even though, it was pretty much what the case was. 

“We were just so excited to meet you”, Eleanor said. “After they told us Niall finally found a girl!”. 

“They’ve been dating for a long time El”, Danielle said, looking at Eleanor. 

“I don’t know how you managed to keep it a secret”, Eleanor said, and seemed to be in total denial that it would even be possible. 

“I don’t even know myself”, I chuckled nervously, and the other girls laughed. 

“Well, it’s finally good to have you here”, Danielle said. 

“You’re a part of the group now”, Perrie added. 

“You are staying for the concert, right?”, Eleanor asked me. I nodded. 

“Yes, I’m...”, 

“Oh!”, Perrie nudged my shoulder. “You have to sit with us!”. 

“Oh yes!”, they all agreed that it would be a great idea. Too bad I couldn’t. 

“No I’m sorry, I...”, 

“But we insist”, Eleanor said, and her smile was so big, and all three pair of eyes stared me for so long that I couldn’t say no. I guess Dawn and Cass would just have to do without me for tonight. They’d probably kill me in the morning. Niall stood over by the mirrors, talking to Harry. I stared at him for just a second, thinking he should only know what I sacrificed for him. But he did rent me a car and a driver just to be nice. I sighed a little, before looking back at the three girls.
