Ali waited backstage for the boys' show to end. Normally she would sit in the audience and watch the entire show from start to finish, but watching Niall perform on stage only made everything worse.
Backstage after the show, the boys were surrounded by people congratulating them on another amazing gig. Through all the chaos, Ali couldn't take her eyes off Niall. Harry was somewhere in that chaos and she didn't care. At this realization, Ali began to cry and ran out of the room.
"Ali?" Someone said as they knocked on the door of the small room Ali was hiding in. She didn't realize that anyone had seen her leave. "Al, it's me."
"Niall I'm fine. Seriously. Go back out there." Ali said trying to make it sound as though she hadn't just been bawling her eyes out.
"Ali what's wrong?" Niall said looking both annoyed and concerned.
"You are what's wrong. I can't breathe without thinking about you. I can't look my boyfriend in the eye because I'm afraid he'll realize that I am mad about you." Ali didn't mean to blurt all that out. It had been thoughts she had kept to herself for so long.
"You chose him." Niall said calmly.
"I know. I thought I was meant to be with him. I've always thought that Har- that he is the one I will end up with, but the truth is, I never factored you in. I never saw you in my plans, but here you are. You everything I want and nothing I expected."
The door suddenly opened and Harry stood tall in the doorway. He just looked at Ali and Niall. He didn't say a word before. He then closed the door and walked away.
