Chapter 17

Chapter 17: The Great Phone Chase POV- Madison

It had been three days since Kara left to see her sister, and we all missed her. Well, mostly Niall. He wasn't as cheery as normal, but he wasn't depressed either. Nobody seemed to notice, though, except me and Liam.

"I think someone is fond of Kara," Liam whispered in my ear, looking at Niall. He was lying sprawled out on the floor, playing with his phone.

"I think so, too," I giggled. I glanced over at Niall again, but Harry caught my eye along the way. When I looked at him questioningly, he glanced back down to his phone, avoiding my gaze. What was his problem?

I let it go as Georgia Rose glanced at me, a devious look on her face.

"Oh no, what now?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"You'll see," she answered, turning towards Niall. I laughed, clasping a hand over my mouth in horror.

"No, you wouldn't!" I had gotten to know Georgia Rose over the weekend, and she had turned out to be quiet, nice and a very good photographer, also with a slightly devious side. She liked to play tricks and tease people; a bit like Louis.

Georgia Rose nodded. "I'm about to announce Niall's crush all throughout the hotel," she snickered.

She leaped up from the couch like a frog and landed next to Niall on the floor. Then, she grabbed his phone.

"Hey-" Niall started to protest as the phone was ripped from his grasp. Georgia Rose laughed and ran out the door with Niall's phone clutched in her hands, reading his text messages.

"'Hey Niall! I'm on the plane to come back now, and I just wanted to say hi! I'm coming back here tomorrow.' Aww! How cute!" she shouted, turning down the hall. Niall was on her heels. I caught up to Georgia Rose and heard her read the next one. "Ooh! Niall sent this one! 'Hi! I miss you! Come back here, love! :),'" Georgia Rose grinned.

I grabbed the phone from her and exited out of the text messages. Georgia Rose protested, grabbing in the air with her hands for the phone.

"I'm going to video tape the phone chase and send it to Kara," I replied, whispering into her ear. She grinned and nodded. We rounded a corner and I saw the rest of my friends and the band running behind Niall, laughing amongst themselves. I clicked the video icon and a second later, the video recording thing popped up. I clicked the red button and the phone started recording. I was holding the phone selfie-style, tilting it upward to get Niall in the picture who was running behind us.

"Here is our little Irish leprechaun lover-boy chasing after his most precious phone," I yelled into the phone. Georgia Rose tilted it towards her.

"And, may I mention that the phone is filled with texts from his princess Kara?" she added, directing the phone back to me, so Niall was shown in the distance.

"Hey!" Niall panted, running.

"I think Niall had too many snacks. He's falling behind!" Georgia Rose snickered.

"Oh no! What will he do? All his precious texts from Kara are in this phone!" I said dramatically.

"Hey! Kara's... I mean, the PHONE'S mine!" he yelped, trying to catch up.

"Ooh!" Georgia Rose batted her eyelashes, which was a challenge due to the speed of what she was running. "Niall and Kara sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" she chanted. I rolled my eyes. I swear she can act like a two-year-old sometimes. I glanced back at Niall and grinned, seeing him blush.

"Alrighty then! That's enough!" said, covering Georgia Rose's mouth with my hand. "Ok, Kara! You can see your lover-boy tomorrow!" I winked. "Bye! Say bye, Niall!" I waved into the phone, then stopped recording. "Ok, send to... Kara Smith!" I said aloud, sending the video. Oh, boy. Niall's gonna be embarrassed! I thought. I tossed the phone over my shoulder and we stopped running. Niall caught the phone and tried to delete the video, but it was too late. Kara had already watched and responded to it. Harry peered over Niall's shoulder.

"Kara says: Good to know you have a new name, Mr. Irish Lover boy." Harry said, bursting into laughter. "With a smiley-face at the end," he added. Niall only sat there, steaming.

"Maybe you should be Mr. Cheeky Lover boy," he snapped back. "We all know you like Madison!"

I flushed. No, he couldn't like me!

Harry's jaw dropped. "Uh, what are you talking about?" he mumbled, reddening.

It was Niall's time to smirk. "Yeah, right," he smiled.

Abbie broke the silence. "Uh, guys? We need to practice our songs for the competition."

I nodded. "Yep. Back to business!"

We all headed back to the hotel room to start practicing our songs for the upcoming performance.

Hello everyone! (my life at 6 pm) I went out to eat tonight at some Sports Grill, and they had an Irish flag hanging up on one of the walls, which automatically made me think of Niall. :3

So then I thought; hmm... maybe I should update Strong tonight since I have been lazy and haven't updated in two months? So I did. You should be thankful for that Irish Sports Grill that reminded me if you want to continue to read my story. Thanks for reading and byebye ♥

Dedicated to Julia since she's an awesome friend and also since she reads my 1D fanfiction even though she doesn't like 1D that much. :)
