Just Another Fan

Chapter 7

I jumped out of bed at the sound of my alarm. Still, no one was home. I looked at my phone to see if anyone had texted me. Nope.

It was SO hot in here. Gosh, was our AC broken?! I took a shower to cool myself down from the heat. After drying my hair, I fixed it into loose curls.

I walked into my bedroom to look for an outfit. I still had not unpacked anything. After rummaging through all my clothes, I decided to wear a blue blouse and jean shorts. I slipped on my white vans and did my makeup.

When I was finally finished, I headed out the door and down to the lobby. The elevator was still broken. Great.

Finally, I made to the lobby. Phew!
I looked around the lobby and saw Niall sitting on a couch.

"Hey!" I said, smiling.

"Hey, um you look ........ wow!" he replied.

"Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself," I said, winking.

We walked out the door into the hot summer sun. Niall was looking around, I guess, to make sure no paparazzi were around.

"So, where are we going," I asked.

"What? Oh, just some coffee shop. I know it's not very fancy, but it's our first date. Um, if you um don't want to go there we ca-"

"Niall! It's perfectly fine!" I said between giggles.

When we arrived at the coffee shop, It smelled amazing! It looked really cozy. There were couches set around a rug and tables scattered around it. Niall sat near the back, where we couldn't be seen.

"Hello! I'm Katie. What can I get for you?"

"I'll have a French vanilla latte," I answered.

"Me too," Niall agreed.

"Alright, I'll have those right out!"

Niall kept his eyes on the window.

"Um, Niall."

"Yea?"

Should I really ask him?
"Um, I'm just wondering um, do you not want to be seen with me?" I questioned, fidgeting with my fingers.

"Of course not!"

"Then why are we sitting in the back and you won't stop looking outside?"

"Mallory, I don't care if people see us. But, sometimes they can be a bit........... aggressive," he explained.

I grinned.

"So, have you gone to college?" Niall asked, changing the subject.

"Yep, I have a degree in literature." I replied. "What about you?"

Niall chuckled, "You know who I am, right?"

"Well, a bit full of yourself now aren't we?" I joked.

"No, I mean, like, I thought yo-"

"Yes, Niall, I know who you are." I interrupted. "You are a member of One Direction."

"Yep, that's me," Niall said, acting cool, making me giggle like crazy.

"Here's your two's lattes!" Katie said. "Enjoy!"

We continued to chat while we sipped our lattes. When we were done, it was already getting dark outside.

"Thanks, for tonight, Niall. I had a good time," I said.

"Of course. I had a good time too. We should do this again."

I tried to look up at Niall but,
I was blinded by a sudden flash of light and a rush of people.

"Oh no," I heard Niall say. I guess he was worried about me getting hurt, like he said people could be aggressive. But part of me still thinks he doesn't want to be seen with me.

As we kept walking by the blinding lights and all the people, they continued to get closer so I could barely walk. I gripped Niall's hand to try to keep my balance. I tripped and fell on the hard concrete ground.

And everything went black.
