Chapter 104

Niall

When the front door is being opened and Simon greets us with a big smile, I look over to Liam one last time. I give him a nod and pat his shoulder, telling him that I'm not that mad him, just a bit disappointed. He can be friends with whoever he wants to be friends with, Jack is no exception and I guess I have to accept it.

"C'mon in boys." Simon gives each of us a hug and we step inside. I haven't been in his house since the day, well since the day I stood up Kelsey in front of that restaurant. Why does everything, and I really mean everything, have to remind me of her today? Even though she's not here, next to me, she is haunting me down in some sort of creepy way.

Once we're stood in the living-room we all take a seat on the couches. Liam, not leaving my side, let's him plop next to me. Looks like someone feels guilty for going behind my back. Damn right.

"So lads, how are you?" Simon speaks up and takes a sip from his beer.

"Could I have a bottle?" Louis laughs and earns a poke in his side from Harry. Actually I was about to ask the same but good thing Louis came first and got told off by Harry and it wasn't me.

"Shut up." Harry scolds Louis when he is about to open his mouth to say something. I smile to myself and look back to Simon.

"No beer for you, I'm afraid." Simon laughs and takes yet another sip only doing it to rub it in Louis' face. We all keep quiet until Liam takes a deep breath. "Thank you for coming to London to give us support. We are all very, very nervous." Liam admits and we all agree by nodding.

"No problem boys. I'm still your mentor and friend. And you don't have to be nervous because everyone out there loves you." He gives us a thumbs up and yes it makes me feel a little less nervous about tomorrow.

I don't know for how long we're at Simon's place but it must be over an hour. After a bit chat chat Simon gets up from the couch. "So good luck for tomorrow, boys." He says and we hurry after him since he is leaving the room.

"Thanks uncle Si. We will make sure to mention your name during the interview." I chuckle.

"Yes you better will." He pats my shoulder and winks at me. We would be nowhere without him. He made it possible that we got a record deal, that we got to record our album in London and Sweden and that we will have our own promo tour starting right after the Radio 1 interview tomorrow. We will visit different radio stations all over the UK, we will have signings at HMV's and other stores, and I seriously can't wait. It will take my mind off for a bit, at least I hope so.

I still wonder what she is doing. I don't mean right now but in general. Now that I know Liam is still in contact with Jack, who is a friend as if not her best friend, it seems even harder not to think about her and her life. I hate to admit it but it sure looks like I miss her. Even though she lied to me, even though she kind of betrayed me, even though she hurt me.

"Anyway. You should go now and get some sleep. Tomorrow is a big day. I don't want you to sound sleepy or hungover, so no beer for you Louis." Simon points at Louis, who's head turns a dark shade of red the second his name and beer are said in one sentence.

"I promise you Simon, we will go to be right away." Liam tells our mentor and friend and he gives him a nod in return.

"I trust you, Liam. You seem to be the most responsible one out of all of you guys." Trusting Liam? He should 't do that, I can tell from experience.

I clear my throat and go over to Simon to give him a nod as a good-bye. "Thanks for everything. See you soon." I smile and swing my arms around him.
