Never Leave My Side (A Niall Horan Story)

The concert finally started and we are having a blast! I haven't had so much fun in a while. We were about half way through the concert and my voice, along with Tori and Hannah's, are completely gone. For some reason I couldn't stop looking at the blonde Irish boy. I notice him look at me a few times, not sure why. He looked so familiar to me. His eyes. His smile. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

The concert was just about over, and I was watching him again. He was doing some Irish dancing, but tripped himself at the end. Everyone was laughing, knowing that's not how the dance should have ended. The curly haired boy, Harry is what Tori said his name was, spoke into his mic, "Niall James Horan everyone" he laughed.

My head snapped up, looking at Harry, then to the blonde. Niall? No. That couldn't be my Niall. This Niall wasn't being shy. He would have told me about all of this, wouldn't he? I turned to Tori, "did he just say Niall Horan?" I forced out to make sure I heard him correctly.

Victoria turned to me with a smile. "Yeah. This is his home town where he grew up." She said with half a voice. "Why?"

"No reason." I said, turning back to look at the stage, back at Niall. He was already looking at me. I just smiled at him, and looked down. Why wouldn't he tell me? I thought we were best friends. I thought we told each other everything. I looked back at him, he was joking around with the other boys, making us laugh.

The concert came to an end, but I didn't miss the wink Niall sent my way. Hannah looked at me and nudged my arm. I just looked at her and gave her the 'what' look. We made our way to the small amount of girls waiting to go backstage. "Let's wait to be last." I managed out.

We were waiting for what seemed like an hour. But really it was only about forty-five minutes. We were next in line, just now are we noticing that Jennifer, Nicki, and McKayla are infront of us. They also, weren't sounding at their best either.

They were letting us in one-by-one, Jennifer went in to talk with Zayn, McKayla went to talk with Louis, Nicki went in to talk with Liam, Tori to Harry, and Hannah said she would go talk with Niall, then ask if she can stick around with Tori to wait for me. I waved her in. I could wait.

The security guy decided to break the silence, "Did you enjoy the concert?" He asked. Was it okay to talk to them? I thought they were just supposed to keep us from freaking out.

I looked at him and nodded. "I'm here to see Niall." I told him the best I could. Just in time, Hannah poked her head out and waved me to come in. Did they really just let her and Tori stay back there to wait for me?

I slowly walked to the backstage door, I was about to see Niall again. What would I say to him? Do I just hug him? I'll just wait for him to talk first. I'm sure he recognized me.

I pulled the door open slowly, walking in with baby steps. I saw Tori still talking to Harry, they both were laughing at something, they looked at me and smiled. Hannah was standing over with Louis, Liam, and Zayn, clearly having a laugh at the concert.

I turned to my left to see Niall sitting on a pile of crates, watching me with a smile on his face. I walk that way as he jumps off the crates. "Hello there, beautiful." He says, picking me up in a hug. I couldn't stay mad at him. He put me down, looking me in the eyes. "I've missed you so much, you don't ever know." He said, tears coming to his eyes.

I couldn't say anything. I didn't know what to say. I felt tears coming to my own eyes. "I missed you so much too Nialler." I said letting the tears come down my face.

"Hey. Look at me. Don'y cry, love. I'm here now." He said, wrapping his arms around me again.

I pulled away from him to look him in the eyes again. "Why didn't you tell me about all of this?" I asked him, not hiding the hurt in my voice.
