The Special One

Chapter 40

"Thank You New York." Niall says as he walks offstage from performing his first solo single called THIS TOWN. Which I've literally had on repeat since the day it came out I'm not going to lie. As soon as I know it Justin is leaving the stage and it is time for me to go backstage to find my favorite blonde Irish friend.

I open the door to the dressing room. "Good Job tonight!" I say to him as I jump through the doorway.

"That was such a rush." He says. "Are you ready?" He asks.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I reply. We walk down the hallway passing the dressing rooms of the other artists and I high key fangirl as I pass by all of them. You would think that after dating Harry Styles and working around this industry I would get used to it. Niall and I get into a black car. "Where are we even going?" I ask.

"Where do you want to go?" He asks. "We could go anywhere."

"Can we go somewhere chill?"

"Somewhere chill? In New York City? In December? The options are endless!"

"Shut up." I hit him and pretend to roll my eyes. "I'm hungry lets get food."

"Alright." He says and tells the driver a location I can faintly hear.

We pull up at a restaurant on the Upper East Side. It seemed fancy, but not too fancy. We get out of the car, of course the paparazzi followed us. Its been a long time since I've had to deal with this type of situation. Niall grabs my arm as he realizes Im struggling to see through the mob of flashing lights. We get seated in a booth towards the back so that we are somewhat isolated from the people and paparazzi.

"Ok, I want to know everything you've done since we last saw each other."

"Niall I told you everything important, I left Chicago moved here. I graduate this year."

"Come on, I want to know more. We used to be good friends, you know, you can talk to me."

"Yeah. Basically I moved here with Belle. You remember her right?"

"OF course I do. How is she doing?"

"She's doing pretty well, she's engaged actually."

"Seriously?" He asks. "Tell her I said congratulations."

"Yeah. Who knew she would be the first one to settle down. She moved out of the apartment last week. But only to down the hall so its not that bad she still comes over everyday."

"And what about Shannon, how is she?" He asks.

"Ohh now I know why you wanted to talk haha." He looks nervously.  They used to have a thing.

"Shut up, I did used to like her but now I'm just asking how she's doing."

"I think she's doing alright. I don't see her as much. She visits like every 3 or 4 months so its been like 2 months since I saw her last. She's living down in Florida at the moment, for a internship at Disney world that will be over next month. Hopefully she will move in with me."

"Florida? I was just there, I wish I knew she would be there."

"I'll tell her you said hi when I talk to her soon." 

"No don't!" He shouts in a quiet manner trying not to disturb the surrounding tables.

"Why not?" I ask, exaggerating my disappointment. 

"Then she will know I asked for her and was talking about her and thats kind of creepy." 

"Niall don't be a bitch." I say. "Im going to call her right now." I pull out my phone and ask siri to call Shannon. 

"ANGIE!" he squeals like a child and tries to take my phone out of my hand. On the second ring she picks up the phone. 

"Hey Angie." She says.

"Whats up Shannon?" I ask.

"Nothing much, I am just chilling in my apartment. What about you?" 

"Well I am at dinner right now, and I'm with an old friend you may remember" I say. 

"Angie I swear to god if its Harry Im flying on a plane to come see y'all." 

"Not quite, I'm with Niall. I was working the Jingle Ball for my internship with z100 and stumbled upon him backstage."

"Niall! Omg is he there I want to say hi." She says. I look at him with a smile. He's looking back at me with a glare. I hand him the phone and wink. He takes my phone gets up and leaves the table to talk outside. 

"Shannon! Hi, how are you?" I hear him say as he walks out of the restaurant. I watch him pace outside talking. He's smiling so thats good. After 10 minutes I watch him hang up and return inside the restaurant. He hands me my phone. 

"That wasn't so bad was it?" I ask. 

"Shut the fuck up." He says grinning, His face turns fifty shades of red. "Now its your turn" 

"Wait what?" I say.

 He pulls his phone out from his black jacket and types his password. He places his phone up to his ear and says "Harry! How's it going? I miss you." 

fuck.
