It's been about a month since Niall's been back on tour. He's been really busy and I barely get to see him. But in July I get to go to go back stage with him at the concert i'm getting to go to. I bought the tickets when they first went on sale and they were like back row. So management got me upgraded to 4th row cause they think i'm a good publicity for Niall or whatever. But the concert is still a month away and he left Florida to go back to Ireland about a month and a half ago. I just really miss him.

one month later
Today's the day! July 14th! It's 6:30 in the morning but i couldn't hold myself back. The excitement was unbearable! I left a note for Angie and dad notifying them i was out and then I left for the mall. Lauren was there with me even though she didn't have tickets. She's just that nice. We go to about five different stores until it's 1:00 pm and we get hungry. We head over to the the mall's Chik-fil-a. I order first getting a sandwich, fries, and a medium doctor pepper. She decides that she'll have a salad without the chicken and a Sprite.
"Vegetarians..." I say kinda quiet looking to the side.
"What?"
"I mean." I say with a full mouth. I swallow. "How do you even do it?"
"I don't know. I just don't like meat."
"Yeah i know. But how?"
"I just choose not to."
"But, that's it there's nothing else to it? Come on." i beg her to tell me more.
"Ugh," she groans "if i tell you an answer even if it's fake will you let me finish my food?"
"YES!" I exclaim wildly.
"Cause in science they say it is healthier for you?" she shoots me a look that says 'that good enough?'
I nod.

After lunch we hit a few more stores not really buying anything because if our shortage of money. Then we got matching 1D shirts. Our last stop before we got in line was Claire's. We were in there for what seems like an hour. We were searching the jewelry section. I found a clover mood ring that said LUCKY across the middle. I bought two of those and we were headed out so i could get back stage.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Lights were flashing and i couldn't process what was going on. Suddenly i was pulled back from the claire's workers. "Wha-what?" i said as the checked my purse pants and pockets. "What did I do?"
Then i started checking with them. i looked in my bag and saw the two clover mood rings. As i was closing it a glimpse of silver flashed my eye. I quickly opened it back up. There was a necklace. "I FOUND IT!" I screamed as I held out the necklace. They snatched it back and marched away. "well" i said "that almost got me arrested."
"Yep." Lauren agreed with me.
We headed over to the gate and i showed them my ticket. They gladly let me in. I hugged Lauren and told her I'd see her later. I was walking up to the backstage entrance when i was stopped. "Can I help you miss?" It was a huge body guard
"Uh yeah. I'm here to see Niall."
"I can't let you do that."
"He's kinda my boyfriend. He told me to meet him backstage." I told him as i showed him my pass.
"I'm sorry you'll have to go back to the gate." He said still not making eye contact.
"Uh excuse me?" I questioned
Harry peeked from behind the body guard all of the sudden. "McKenzie!!" He yelled "Please let her in she's a friend." he said to the guard and he gladly moved from his spot as i was guided backstage. We finally got to the dressing rooms but we didn't go into Niall's. We went into Harry, Zayn and Liam's. I sat down on the couch just glad to be off my feet. In the room was everyone to be said on the door. Harry, Zayn, and Liam.
"Where are Niall and Louis?" i ask.
Harry starts "Uh Niall can't see anyone right now but I can go get Lou-"
"Wait whats wrong with Niall? Is he okay?"
"Eh" Harry says kinda questioning himself.
Liam finally gives me an answer, "Love, he's been really sick." not the answer i was looking for though.
I suddenly shot up out of my chair and ran down the hallway to Niall's dressing room. I burst in the door to see him. I kneel down beside the sleeping boy. He was very pale and super warm. I made myself comfy on the ground next to him. He woke up and looked at me and smiled a weak smile but it was interrupted by a terrible cough followed by a face of displeasure. I smiled at him and started to run my fingers through his hair. I pecked his forehead with a kiss but he tried to turn away. "No," he said "you might get sick."
"I don't mind." I say shaking my head. "You should take your medicine so you feel better." I say motioning to the day-quill on the side table. And willingly he takes it. He sits up and I sit next to him. "Are you going to be okay tonight?"
"Yeah should be." God he is hot. "As long as you're with me."
"I will be." I say. "You should rest."
He lay's down and falls asleep so fast. Poor thing.

"Niall." Harry says shaking him lightly. "It's time for warm ups."
"Huh? Yeah. Okay." he says getting up. I hug him and rub his back.
"I gotta go find my seat." I tell him softly. "See you after the show."
"Wait." he says right as I'm at the door. "Come here." he commands sleepily. So I walk over to him. He grabs my waist and pulls me into his chest. "I love you babe." he says.
"I-I love you too clover." i say as i pull out of the hug. He's still quite warm. I reach in my pocket remembering the ring. I pull it out placing it on his finger the placing the other on mine. i fist bump him making the rings touch. "Good Luck!" i tell him as i finally leave for my seat.

The concert was great. Niall did good considering he's sick. he made eye contact with me as most me could. I just hope he feels alright really.
After the arena is half empty i guide myself back backstage. I see Niall sitting in the hallway. He looks weak. "babe?" he looks up, "you okay?"
"Yeah yeah, just a bit tired."
"You did really good." I say sitting next to him. Then i get back up holding my hand out to him. He willing grabs it and almost stumbles over. We hobble back to the car still not letting go of his hands. He lays his head on my shoulder and sniffing and coughing uncontrollably. I really felt bad for him. But i just let him sleep. He was congested causing him to breathe through his mouth. I eventually fall asleep also.
We make it back to their hotel and up to their room. Harry gives up his bed for me so i can sleep in the same room as Niall. Or just so he doesn't get sick. Niall gets on the bed fully dressed. I go over take off his shoes, shirt, and pants so he can sleep normally. Zayn lets me barrow a huge T-shirt to sleep in and i flop on the bed due to my dizziness. My head starts throbbing and i just try to get over it. I finally fall asleep. Dreaming about the concert and Niall. I really just hope he gets better soon.
