Niall

"Yeah. That's Kelsey. My older sister." That little boy's words are still in my ears.

I have to be 100% sure. I have to know if that girl on the picture, Kelsey, is his sister.

"Niall?" He asks and leans forward. He lifts his small hand up and tips with his index finger on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry. So this girl's name.." I point at the girl in the picture, ".. is Kelsey and she is your sister?" I'm shocked. How is this even possible?

"Yes. Will you now sign the picture because I have to go. I bet my mum and Kels are already looking for me." He demands and I give him a nod. I quickly sign the photo and hand it back to him.

"They don't know you're here? Wait is your sister here?" All of this can't be just coincidence. Why would she be here the same day as we are? I bet she doesn't even know that I'm in Liverpool and definitely doesn't know I'm talking to her little brother right in this moment.

"Nope. I ran away to get this signed for her because I know she misses you." Dang. This feels like someone is hitting me with a stone or rolls over me with a truck. She, Kelsey, misses me. She hasn't forgotten about me.

"I have to go now." He finally says when I don't answer him. I've got an idea. But I need his help. Maybe it's time for me to make the first step, to apologise and to let her explain herself to me.

"Wait." I call after him. When he turns around to face me, I get up from the chair and walk toward him.

"Yes?" He tips with his foot and starts to make me nervous.

"Don't tell her you where here, okay? Don't give her the picture before tomorrow. Can you promise me that?" I hope he will play this little game with me.

"Okay. But then I want something from you, too." He raises his eyebrow and looks at me. This boy is very demanding, just like his big sister.

"Spill it." I place my hand on his shoulder and wait for his answer, for his condition.

"I want that CD, you know that song that's always played on the radio, with my name written on it." He winks at me.

"Only fair. Promised." We shake hands and he looks rather satisfied with himself.

"Bye Niall." He lets go off my hand and rushes out of the store. I look after him until he's out of sight. Wow, my day has just gotten better. A lot better.

Now I need Harry, Zayn and Louis. They must help me with sorting out a few things. I definitely have to make my plan happen. I just have to. It feels right and good.

I walk back to the rest of the boys and feel three pairs of eyes staring at me, suspiciously. I can't tell them now since we're not alone and I can't discuss anything with them when other people are in the same room.

I wonder what they will say once I tell them about Nate, who happens to be Kelsey's brother. I'm thrown back to second I looked at that photo and her smiling at me. Not at me, obviously, but into the camera. My heart did a little jump and I instantly felt that oh so familiar feeling rushing through my body. She is still part of my everyday life. I can't just cut her out. I'm still in love with her, knowing that what happened back in December was all a big misunderstanding. She just have to tell me so and I will believe it.

Kelsey

I run along the street and poke everyone out of my way that comes into my way. I have to find Nate, now. Imagine we won't find him again. No. I can't let that happen. He's everything that Deb has left, apart from me. Stop it, Kelsey, I tell myself and keep running.
