Niall's P.O.V. 

I ran through the crowd, weaving in between people. I stopped a young girl. 

"Excuse me, do you know a Brielle?" 

She stared at me in shock. I took that as a no and ran off again. 

I stopped an older man who was coming from a Starbucks. "Excuse me, do you know a girl named Brielle?" 

The man laughed and said, "You mean Brielle from Starbucks? She's performing right now!" 

"Thanks," I said. "HARRY!" I yelled. "I found her!"  

Within a few minutes, Harry appeared from the crowd, his hair even more messed up and his clothes rumpled. 

"Next time, can you just call me?" He asked, trying to clean himself up a bit. "I got mobbed."  

"Sorry mate," I said. "But I found her!" 

"Did you?" Harry said sarcastically. "That's nice." 

I rolled my eyes and walked towards Starbucks, Harry following me.

When I walked in the door, I saw a girl finishing strumming a guitar. I sucked in a breath like I'd been sucker-punched. It was the girl, Brielle. She was more beautiful that before.

"That was the A Team by Ed Sheeran," she said. "Next is Heart On My Sleeve by Olly Murs, one of my all time favorite artists ever."

She began to strum a song that I didn't know.

You think you've heard this before

I'll try and say it differently 

As long as it comes naturally to me 

It's been making me sad

'Cause I can't find a better way 

Speak the words I wanna say to you 

Know how I love you 

You know I need you

And I want you to know 

Won't let you down, no, I can't let go 

And I want you to see 

Every day I wear my heart on my sleeve 

On my sleeve

It's been driving me mad 

Consistent tones and constant drones 

Keep pulling me back inside my head 

Nothing matters at all

The world will keep on spinning 'round 

All these feelings keep on pouring out 

Oh, how I love you 

Oh, how I need you

And I want you to know 

Won't let you down, no, I can't let go 

And I want you to see 

Every day I wear my heart on my sleeve

Ooh, I try to write the words down 

Ooh, before they're lost and won't come out 

Oh, please help me save my soul

Yeah, I want you to know 

Won't let you down, no, I can't let go
