*BEFORE LANEY GOT THERE*

  NIALL’S POV  

I can’t believe what I’m hearing right now.   Is this a joke? Because I would kill the person who thought of it.  

“Niall, I’m serious. Are you listening to me?” Rachel asks me.  

We’re all sat in the dressing room, everyone staring at me attentively.  

“Yes, yes I’m listening. I just don’t know what to say at the moment.” I explain to them as I stare at the rug, thinking everything through.  

“Ok well you may want to make up your mind because she’s here, and I’ve told her I was having trouble getting out…” Rachel tells me slowly.  

“And that implies………” I ask her waiting for the answer.  

“That implies that you’re going back and doing the same exact thing you did to her the first time you met her, but just here.” Louis tells me.  

The first time I met her. She was perfect, she is perfect. I still can’t believe I was such an ass to let management ruin me and her.  

“Better get going mate.” Harry tells me patting my back forcing me to get up.  

“Right, ok where do I meet her?” I ask Rachel feeling my heart race faster and faster.  

“Front of security. Everyone’s out of the building so you’re all good getting everywhere.” Rachel tells me.   I take a deep breathe and nod.  

“Go out of the room, take a right, go up the stairs to flight 4, take a left, go all the way down until you see the next stairs going downstairs and wait there. She’ll be going up those stairs.” Rachel informs me.   I nod again thinking it all through.  

“You know a shitload of information on this place huh Rach?” Louis asks her.   “How the fuck do you think I got in here? I work here. My dad’s been working here since he was like 25. I know people guys.” Rachel says as Liam puts his arm around her shoulder.   I look at Zayn who shrugs his shoulders indicating he had no idea.  

“You two close?” Harry asks rather suddenly gesturing to Rach and Liam.  

They both roll their eyes and Rach says,   “Cmon Niall, it’s your last shot. You have to do this.”   I nod once more and take a right…  

*PRESENT*   LANYES POV  

I knew most of the people at the Garden, considering I’ve been growing up there.  

I see the head security guard, Bill, who gets me in. I than talk to Shannon who walks with me to flight 2 and makes conversation.  

I’m on my way up to flight 4 where the security lines are positioned, obviously with no one there.  

Just as I’m walking up the flight of stairs, I get a text from the little shit.  

From: PainInAssssssssss   I got caught up with Bill, and we’re in the basement so I sent one of the boys to meet you. See you soonnnnn :D  

Funny, because I just saw Bill.   

No where near the basement…  

And now it all kicks in, just as I reach the top of the stairs and see the back of the blonde haired boy leaning against the railing,talking to himself in front of me.   Well here goes nothing…  

“How was the concert?” I ask with my hands behind me back and feet together, playing with the hem of my sweater in the back.  

He whips his head right around and I become in sync with the blue eyes I’ve always known and loved.  

A smile spreads on his face, yet he doesn’t move. Just stares.  

After a second of staring at each other, he speaks up,  

“It was great. How was graduation?” He asks, judging I had graduation about a week ago.  

“It was good. Got the diploma so now I can say I’m a scholar.” I tell Niall as we both chuckle.  

He nods his head, both of us not moving still.  

“Did you know this was going to happen?” He asks me, squinting his eyes curiously and tilting his head slightly.   I shake my head and he nods and says,  

“Me neither…It was all Rachel.” He informs me  

“Ahhh the little shit herself. Remind me to thank her.” I say the last part as it slips out of my mouth and I become wide eyed, not knowing why I just said that.  

Niall being Niall, laughs and nods his head not wanting me to be embarrassed.  

“Well did you know that Liam and Rachel have a little thing going on?” He asks me taking a little step closer to me.  

“WHAT? Since when? What happened to Sophia after Dani and him broke it off?”   

“I don’t know I just saw them kinda getting close today. We all hated Sophia at first and we told Liam, they had a thing, she cheated on him and here we are.” (A/N:PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT HATE SOPHIA AND I’M NOT ACCUSING ANY OF THE BOYS SAYING THEY HATE HER TOO IT’S JUST A STORY XX)  

I nod as I take the risk of stepping closer leaving far enough distance in between us so that I couldn’t smell his scent.  

There was a silence between us for a while until he speaks up again and says,  

“Do you want to come hang out with us? We’re here for two more days so we were just going to chill. Maybe go out to dinner tonight if you want?” He says all of this as he’s looking at the ground and all around not trying to make eye contact with me.  

“Sure, can we um, talk later though?” I take the risk in asking.  

He smiles, nods, comes closer and grabs my hand and leads me downstairs to the four other boys I’ve missed a ton. And of course Rachel.
