"You were amazing," Niall says firmly, as we stood right by the doorstep."I knew you could do it,"

"Yeah, I'm kinda proud of myself too," I admit. This tells me that I can do things with out my mother. I was so locked up in my shell, I never got to experience anything. this is actually the first time in four years I have heard my singing voice.

"Well, it's getting late," He murmurs before sliding his hands in his pocket.

I glance out to the night sky, admiring the moonlight bathing his amazing features. I take in the sweet smell of Niall's lavender, amber, and sandalwood cologne.

It was one of my favorites.

"I love you," I say quietly enough to get Niall's attention. He smiles before grabbing the nape of my neck, brushing his lips lightly on mine before pushing them together.

"I love you more," He says right after he pulls away. "I just don't want to leave,"

"It's not like you won't see me tomorrow," I stammers.

Niall's face is completely pale, all the blood seemed to be drawn from his entire body.

"Yeah," He seems so unsure of himself. "About tomorrow..."

What does he mean?

"What about tomorrow?"

"Can we talk about this inside?" He asked, gesturing towards the door.

"No. I wanna know right here," I strongly remark while putting my arms to the side.

"Please," He says. His voice low.

"Okay," I exhaled feeling the anxious kick in. I pull a spare key out of my pocket and jiggling it in the key hole until the ignorant door clicked.

We walked in the house, wordlessly. The air between Niall and I became thicker once the lights flickered on, causing everything to be in view.

I cross the living room to the kitchen, forgetting that Niall had came inside.

I was scared. Scared of what he was going to tell me. Everything was beginning to be good, and now he is scarring me.

"Luc..." He began,.. I turn around slowly from the sink holding a glass of water in my hand.

"Hm?" I barely opened my mouth. I didn't trust my voice.

"Just hear me out, okay?" He takes a step forward, making me even more nervous and scared.

"I'm all ears," I take one last sip of my water before sitting it down right by me.

"So, today. After our performance, this guy came up to me and said.." He trailed off. What did he say?

"What did he say, Niall?" I blurt. He tilts head to the side, boring his eyes into mine.

"He said I have a chance to go even further," He say, fondly putting his hands out in front of him.

"I don't.. I don't understand," My surprising voice had vanished and was replaced with concern.
