Life With Boys

Chapter 20

Cambrie ran behind me trying to keep up. I stormed around the Place of Auburn Hills in Detroit looking for Paul.

"Uncle Niall!" Cambrie called. I ignored her and kept running around. My knee is on fire but I'm fucking pissed.

I went back stage again and saw Paul talking to a crew member. I got to him and shoved his shoulder so he could face me.

"What the actual hell Paul!" I yelled.

"What is your problem Niall?" Paul asked. He went to reach for me but I slapped his hand down.

"Guess who fucking called me last night!" I ordered.

"Niall-"

"Why Paul!? Fucking Valerie? Are you stoned!?" I screamed.

"She said she would do the job! After a little more convincing and money she agreed!" Paul defended.

"That's what you have to say!? That's so shitty of you!" I yelled again. Steve, another security guard, picked me up and carried me to the stage as I kept yelling at Paul. I was set down and Zayn blocked me from running back stage. I looked to where the audience would be and saw Cambrie sitting in the third row. I brought myself together for her and began rehearsal thinking of ways to hurt Paul.

I'm fuming. We're almost done with the first show for Detroit and I could tell the fans knew something was up. They weren't as lively. I forced a smile on my face but what helped was when the other guys would do something beyond stupid and make me laugh.

Cambrie stood backstage with Lou and they cheered us on. I wanted to bring Cambrie out but I know she would either get shy or let her wit shine.

"The next question please!" Liam cheered. The question came up.

"Niall, can we see Cambrie?" Harry read. I looked back stage Cambire was laughing probably at something Lou said. I ran backstage and picked her up with out warning.

"Uncle Niall!" She yelled. Her voice was picked up by the microphone and her voice was rung through the arena. I set her down and she huffed, "Why was I man handled?" I sassed. The crowd cheered. Cambrie smiled and bowed, "Thank you, thank you!" She witted. The next question came on the screen. I was feeling a bit happier now that Cambire was with me.

"Piggy back races?" Louis read.

"There's an even number now." Zayn laughed. Zayn and Harry paired up, Louis and Liam, then Cambire and I.

"To keep it fair," I started, "we have to go to the edge of the stage then to the other!" I yelled. Josh took our microphones and he counted us down.

"Three! Two! One!" He shouted. I took off with Cambire on my back and we were laughing hysterically. Liam and Louis caught up and Harry and Zayn were falling behind. I gained a little more speed then stopped at the bar on the other end of the stage. The crowd cheered and Cambire and I joined.

"Oh, this is such an honor. To beat four fifths of One Direction!" Cambire yelled into my microphone.

"Is that a challenge Young Horan?" Harry asked. Cambire walked over to him. It was funny when she didn't look up. She just looked at his chest. She took Harry's mic and tried not to laugh.

"You know it!" She yelled. The crowd went nuts at this and cheered more.

"This next song's for you Cambire!" Liam yelled. Live While We're Young. This song is the definition of Cambire.
