"Man, all those people are out there for you." I smile at Niall before pushing over the white curtain a little to get another peek of everyone outside. It's unbelievable how there's fans and paparazzi waiting out there for my best friend and his bandmates. His dreams really did come true.

I push the curtain back in place and my eyes meet with the waiter as he comes back to the table. He gives me a look that makes me feel like I shouldn't have touched that curtain and I look down at my plate. While he asks if we would need anything else, I grab another fry from my plate and nibble at it.

I'm back in America for the first time since I was ten, so my first choice of meal was definitely a good old american cheeseburger and fries.

"So you lived in Florida before going to Ireland?" Liam asks, once the waiter is gone. I nod my head before telling him that I plan on visiting family there when we stop there.

"I'm dragging Niall along with me." I nudge him with my elbow. He smiles at me before stealing another fry off my plate. I roll my eyes at him, considering he ate the majority or them.

I go to take a sip of my coke when Harry suddenly asks, "Are you two sure you aren't a couple?".

The question causes me to choke mid sip, creating a burning sensation in my throat. I set down my cup and cover my mouth, coughing several times while shaking my head no.

Niall pats my back a little too hard, but it helps the coughing stop.

"Just best friends." He answers for the two of us, now rubbing a little circle into my back. He pulls his hand away, and leans against the table with both of his arms folded on top.

"Lord knows Nialler needs a girlfriend." Louis cracks a little joke, and I watch as Niall shoots him a glare. Louis puckers his lips to form a little kiss before starting off a new conversation, involving his girlfriend Eleanor. I've only seen pictures of her online with him, and it's insane how pretty she looks without any makeup on really. I couldn't go without makeup. Having dark brown hair and blue eyes with fair skin can make me look washed out without any makeup on. I've been tempted to lighten my hair, but I'm too scared to.

I try to listen in on the conversation, but I can feel sleepiness trying to overtake me. My eyelids feel heavier than before and I end up laying my head on Niall's shoulder. He doesn't mind, so it's totally fine.

I glance up at Harry, who is sitting diagonal from me as he starts talking about his hatred for some girl named Stephanie.

"I can't stand her! All she does is whine and cry about wanting this or that. I swear to god, the song I Want describes her to the T. She's a diva. I hate Modest for making me be with her!" He freaks out, trying to keep his voice low with not much avail. Niall leans his head against mine and whispers to me something about Stephanie and Harry being together for publicity. I don't know how these people do it.

I shake my head as he continues to rant about her and stare at the glass of coke in front of me. The white cloth under it starts to fade from my vision and the last thing I see is the cup of coke before my vision goes dark.

Only when I open my eyes, it's dark. Really dark. I sit up from my laying position and look around in a daze. Theres a door cracked open, where a little bit of light seeps through. Off to my left, across the room, there's a green glow from a clock that reads 3:52 am.

I got into the hotel at 4 something, so I've been out for hours. I feel someone stirring in bed next to me, and my heart jumps for a second until I realize it's probably Niall. We did agree that if some hotel rooms didn't have enough beds when on the trip, we'd share a bed together.
