The One and Only (One Direction)

Chapter Five

Isabel's POV 

The second the music stops, all I can hear is the screams and cheers that fill the entire stadium. I stand there, frozen, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, I notice that nearly every person in the audience has their phone out. Oh dear; by this time tomorrow, this song would be all over the Internet. Blushing, I find my shoes quite interesting. I face the audience again, and say into my microphone, "Well, that went over better than I thought." The crowd of fans cheers again, and I smile. 

The crowd erupts again, and I wave as I walk off stage, slightly hyper from all of the craziness out in the stadium. I get all of the wires and things taken off, then I change back into my regular clothes. My throat has begun to hurt, and I can mask the pain through a smile. The boys give me a big group hug, saying words of praise. I thank them and say, "Pardon me, but I can't breathe..."

They instantly pull off and apologized. I smile back and reply, "It's alright. I-" I am cut off by soft cries of, "Isabel!" I turn around and am met by the welcome sight of Maddy, Megan, and Tiffany. I hug each of them, and turn to introduce them to the boys."Guys, this is Maddy, Megan, and Tiffany." Each girl earns a gesture of introduction from me and the boys smile, doing their sync, "Hello, loves."

Louis, Liam, and Harry head over to my friends. I smile, watching each girl's face light up when her favorite member of the band starts talking to her. "The last song was lovely," Niall says from behind me. I jump slightly, and giggle, thanking him. "Maybe we should head home," he suggests, noticing the tired look in my eyes.

"That does sound nice," I respond. He walks over to the boys. After a couple minutes, I walk over and bid goodbye to the girls, who look like they are about to explode from all of the joy on their faces. They hug me before resuming their conversations with the rest of the band. Niall grabs his keys, and walks beside me as we head out to the car. Once inside, I smile shyly at him. 

"Thanks for coming with me," I say. Niall smiles. "It's no big deal," he responds, turning out of the parking lot. "Oh, may I?" I ask, gesturing to the radio. He nods. I turn it on and stop on a channel that's playing a new song by 5 Seconds of Summer. Niall smiles at my choice before beginning to sing along to the chorus. I join in, playing an air guitar in my seat as Niall drives. He laughs, stopping the car in front of a Jimmy John's. "I thought that you might be hungry," Niall says, looking down at his hands. 

I blush shyly and nod, gently brushing my dark hair out of my face. We step out of the car, and walk into the Jimmy John's. As I order, I feel a hand take mine, and fingers interlace with mine. I pull out my wallet, only to be stopped by Niall handing over a ten-dollar-bill. "Miss, your order's ready," the cashier says, handing me a bag. I wait for Niall by the door. He walks over, giving me a bright smile. "Thanks," I say as we walk out to the car. I hold the bags while Niall drives. 

When we arrive home, Niall and I sit down on the patio that overlooks the pool and backyard to eat our food. We make small talk for about an hour before I excuse myself to head to bed. Niall walks me to my door and hugs me goodnight. Afterwards, I head into my bathroom and wash up before I change into my pajamas and wrap myself in my duvet for the night.
