My "Best" Friend (Liam Payne)

Chapter Forty-Nine Neon Hearts

(Skip to November 10th, 2012)

I heard my alarm go off at eight in the morning. Soph and I both had only class from nine to eleven. Then we both go to work for the rest of the day, or we hang out together back at the apartment, or go running all around New York. We somehow planned our work schedules so we would be working at the same time, and then we would be off at the same times too.

I have been waiting for this day forever. They are announcing tonight who is the opener. I'm still considered to be one, so I haven't really slept all night. I do work today, so that will take up some time. It'll still be a very long day. I guess Soph left early, she was already out of the place.

I went walking to class, then I saw Sophie, she looked excited, "Come one Paisley! Class time!" We both went walking into the main building, and then went our separate ways.

Two hours after that, I started walking to work. Not many people were in there, infact nobody was. My co-workers were in the back kitchen on their phones, and then it was just me. I went walking over to the guitar and sarted playing it, and humming a song I've been working on for a while. I looked out the window, and saw many people walking by. The coffee shop was a few blocks away from Madison Square Garden. It started snowing, I smiled, I've always like snow. I got up, and made myself a hot chocolate, then I sat back down with the guitar, and started strumming again. I heard the bell ring from the door. One of my co-workers came up to the front, so I didn't even bother to look up.

Then I heard a familiar voice say, "Hey, Paisley right? It's been a while." When I heard my name I looked up to see a boy standing in front of me. I jumped up out of my seat to hug him. "Niall!"

He started laughing, and I let go of his warm hug. We both sat down at the table I was strumming at. "Sooooooo?"

"Sooooooo what?" I asked the crazy kid.

"How are you?"

"Well, I'm in college! But you probably already know that since you've been talking to Sophie over the years!" I said hitting his arm.

"Yeah, are you mad?" he asked rubbing his arm.

"No! I couldn't be mad at you two, but it would have been nice to know!"

"Yeah," then he made an evil Niall laugh.

"So why are you guys here?" I asked trying to act stupid.

"Well, we have that concert, and we are finding out who the opener is for us tonight!" he said sounding really excited, but dissapointed at the same time.

"That's exciting!"

"Yeah, they narrowed it down to two this morning, but won't tell us. They haven't even told the two that it's just them now!"

"What they narrowed it down to two and never even told me!" Shit! It slipped out. I covered my mouth as quick as I could with my eyes wide open.

Niall looked really suprised, then asked, "Is there something that you need to tell me Paisley?" I shook my head no first. He gave me one of those looks like he already knows, but I need to say it, "Paisley, I think there's something that you need to tell little Nialler." This time I nodded my head up and down. I removed my hands from covering my mouth.

"So, I did audition," he nodded his head with a huge smile on his face, I made a fake little laugh, "and now I'm in the final two."

"I knew you did it," he said crossing his arms.

"No you didn't!"

"I had a feeling that you did!" he said pointing at me.

"It must be an Irish thing," I said, we both laughed. I heard my phone ring in the back, I went running back there. I picked up with only one ring left.
