*Sapphire's POV*

Amy's right... I don't deserve Niall. He DOES deserve someone better than me.

He's so amazing, and has so much going for him. I could ruin all of it. I don't want that. He's wanted this his entire life. Now that he has it, I could be holding him back. He should be on the road right now. On the way to the next city.

Yet, here he is, holding me while I cry. I feel guilty for holding him back. He could have any girl in the world...

So why choose me?

"Baby. Please stop crying. And don't think so hard. You'll get worry lines." Niall whispered in my ear. "It really breaks my heart to see you like this."

I lifted my head and starred into his beautiful eyes. "I'm sorry." I whispered.

I stood up from my place on the ground Niall right after me. "Where are you going?" He asked.

I pecked his lips softly. "I just need to go think for a little."

He nodded and looked at the ground. "Okay." He mumbled.

I brought his face back up to look me in the eyes. "I love you. Please don't worry." I say, pecking his lips twice more before walking away.

*Niall's POV*

Don't worry? How am I supposed to do that? What i she leaves me? I don't ever want to lose her. I can't.

"Should I go after her?" I ask, turning to Liam.

He shakes his head. "Let her be for a while, as she asked. Then maybe in a few, if she hasn't come back, then go talk to her." He said.

I sigh, and look around the group. I see a few on looking campers, some obviously ans.

I look down and take a deep breath. Alright, let's try to think of other things...

I plaster a smile on my face looking up. "Hello everyone. How are you?" I ask to the people standing around.

Their faces light up at my Irish accent. The boys all join me as I walk around and take pictures with everyone.

"Can I get a picture?" A small voice calls out from behind me. I turn around to see a girl about seven years old, looking in all directions.

I smile brightly at her. "Of course." I say as I walk up to her. She looks in my direction with a smile plastered on her face. 

"Thank you so much." She said, taking out a small camera. "Will you take it?" She asked.

"Course." I said, taking the small object from her hands. "Smile." I say as I click the button.

A huge flash erupts, making me blink many times. "That was a bright flash, and I can't see at all now." I state laughing.

She giggles next to me. "I didn't see it." She said.

I gasped at her. "How could you not? It may as well have slapped us in the face." 

She laughed again. "Well... I'm blind, so...uh...yeah." She said.

My eyes widened. "Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know.. Wait, how do you take pictures?" I asked curiously.

"It's a special made camera for me. My mummy bought it for me." She smiled.

"Macy?" I woman called out, walking through the crowd.

"Here mum!" I'm by this guy over here!" The girl, Macy, called out.

"I'm Niall." I tell her.

"I'm by Niall!" She calls out. "I'm Macy!" She says in a cheery voice with a wide smile.

Her mum came through the now leaving crowd, "oh, you scared me." She said, hugging Macy.

"Sorry mummy. I just wanted a picture with one of them. You know I love them. They're my heroes." She said.

I beamed. A tear came to my eyes. "Hey Macy, hold on for a minute. I'll be right back, okay?" 

She nodded quickly. "Okay!" 

I walked around and found the boys sitting down at a table. I ran up to them. "Hey lads. Come here, there is someone I want you to meet." I grinned.

They all exchanged a look. "Who?" Louis asks me.

I sigh. "Her name is Macy. She's about seven years old, and she's blind. And she says we are her heroes." I tell them with an even bigger smile on my face.

They jump up simultaneously, following me back to Macy.

*Amy's POV*

I was headed back to talk to Demetry, and beg him not to leave me. I don't want to lose him. I heard pounding feet behind me. I turned around and saw Sapphire walking quickly to a different part of the woods.

I know it's not my business, but these woods could be dangerous, and it is getting darker. So, I'll follow her... Just so she is safe.

I follow her to a small open area. She sits down on the patch of grass, putting her head in her hands. "Amy's right... I don't deserve Niall... He'd be way better off without me. why does he even love me? Of all the girls in the world... What makes me so damn different?"

She's thinking aloud? I hate when I do that.

"She was wrong though." I listen closer as Sapphire speaks up again. "I don't care about his money, or his fame. I've loved him far longer than all of that. He's saved my life more times than I can even count." She says, her voice breaking every now and again.

I sigh quietly, and slowly step from behind the tree. "Sapphire?"

She gasps and looks up. "What do you want?" She asks coldly.

I put my hands up in surrender. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry." I told her.

And it's true. I've been paranoid and selfish. I just haven't been myself. Seeing her this way though, I know I have nothing to worry about. She loves Niall so much, and I see that now. So, I need to get over myself, and stop my bitch act.

"Hello? Are you listening?" She asks loudly.

I clear my throat. "Sorry, I was in thought. What did you say?"

She sighed. "I asked what you are sorry for." She stated.

"Oh." I started. "Well, everything really. I was just worried that you would take Dem away from me." I said.

She chuckled making me look at her. "I would never look at him that way Amy. He is like a brother to me. Hell, he even asked me for advice on how to get with you." She said.

"Really?" I smiled. She nodded. 

"And Sapphire." I said. She looked at me. "Please stop telling yourself that you aren't good enough for Niall. I know I said it moments ago, but I didn't mean it. I was just yelling out of anger and frustration. You and Niall are perfect for each other. The way you guys look at each other-"

"You mean the way you and Demetry look at each other?" She grins, cutting me off.

I stare in shock. "H-he... We... we don't look at each other like anything." I mumble, blushing slightly.

She laughed. "Yeah. Right. You keep telling yourself that. Well, I really need to get back to Ni. I may have left him high and dry. I feel bad about it. Tell Demetry everything is okay." She says, walking away.

Well this is a lot easier than that act I had put on...

Now...

TO DEMETRY!
