Chapter Sixteen

Niall's POV:

I think Natalie and the boys were getting used to each other. That was a good thing. Natalie got to know a little bit about each guy. And she told them some things too. Then we all started getting cold so we went back into the lake. We swam around for a bit, then we got out, dried off, and left. Me and Natalie walked home while the other boys drove back to their hotel. When we got to Natalie's house, we stopped on her doorstep and talked for a bit.

"So..maybe you should come and see us in concert yeah?" I asked.

"Yeah sure. I would love to" She replied.

"Here" I said.

"What is it?" She asked curiously.

"Its a backstage pass to our next concert right here in Mullengar" I said, handing it to her.

"Oh thanks. When is it?"She questioned.

"On Wednesday in Mullengar Stadium" I replied.

"I'll be there" She said.

"Nat...." I started.

"Yeah..?" She asked.

"Umm..nevermind I forgot. Good night" I said, nervously.

"Goodnight" She said back.

She turned around, opened the door and walked inside. I was such an idiot, I thought when I was walking down the street. I was going to tell her I had feelings for her, but I chocked. I couldn't do it. What if it ruined our friendship? What if she didn't feel the same way? I just couldn't live without her in my life. I didn't want to think about this now. I need some sleep.

*WEDNESDAY*

It was a few hours before the show. Me and the lads were backstage getting ready for our sound check. Natalie hadn't showed up yet. When I got time, I would text her and make sure she was coming. She said yes and that she was getting ready. As we walked onto the stage, the people who had camped out since Sunday, started screaming. I saw their faces, none of them Natalie's. I only hoped she was backstage.

When sound check was over, we went backstage to get ready for the real show, in only two hours. Then there was a knock on our dressing room door. I got out of my chair and opened it. It was Natalie.

"Hey, you came" I said, greeting her.

"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it" She said, smiling.

"Great. Come in. Sorry but the other boys are changing" I said.

"Its okay" She said, walking in.

I showed her around a bit, even though our dressing room isn't that big. For a concert, Natalie was dressed nice. All though most girls who got there picture with us, dressed nice too. I had to finish getting ready so I left her on the couch.

"I'll be right back" I told her.

"I'll wait here" She replied.

"Okay" I said.

I was gone for about 10 minutes. When I came back, I found Harry talking to Natalie. I walked towards them.

"Hi" I said.

"Oh hi Niall" Harry said.

"Harry, can I talk to you?" I asked.

"Yeah"He replied.

I took him by the arm and dragged him to the other side of the room and into the corner.

"What the hell Harry!" I whispered.

"What?" He asked.

"You know what" I said.

"No, I don't" He said.

"You were talking to Natalie. I know you, Harry. Did you ask her something stupid?" I asked, looking back at her.

"No. I was telling her all the crazy things some fans did during other concerts" He admitted.

"Okay" I said, leaving him standing alone.

I went back to Natalie and sat down next to her. The concert started in a half hour. So in 20 minutes, we would get in a circle and wish everyone a good show. Natalie would watch from the sidelines on the stage. I had to have a good show tonight since Natalie was here. Because after the concert, I am planning to tell her I have feelings for her. I hope I don't chicken out.
