Born To Die (A Niall Horan love story)

Chapter 2

After I drove Cait home, we talked for a bit, hugged (which wasn't my idea) and then I drove myself home and as soon as my head hit my soft pillow I fell asleep.

I got up early this morning and drove off to the Arena. Cait would be there... No. I did not go there for her. I am doing this for my career. I barely even know that girl. She was really pretty though... Stop! What the hell is happening to me? I really need some coffee.

"Niall? John wants to talk to us." Harry says, standing at the door of the dressing room. "Again?" "Yeah. Guess he's really worried about the opening act." Harry winks. I grin and walk after him. As soon as we're all settled on the couch John starts talking. "So, we've got some good and bad news." This is so getting on my nerves. "The good news is that the whole tour has been sold out! Your fans were really fast." I smile at the thought of our fans. They're really great. "So, the bad news. Little Mix can't do the opening act because they're going on their own tour very soon. Guys, this really is starting to worry me. We need an artist!" John says. I try to think of some great singers but I know they won't be available. But wait... "Does the artist have to be famous?" I ask. He looks at me in question. "Um... I don't think that's really necessary." I smile. "Then I think I just found an opening act."

"No. No way!" Cait says. "Please? It will be awesome!" I say. She looks at me, standing there with her arms crossed. "Look. I am really grateful for you saving me last night but I am NOT going to be your opening act." I look at her and put on my sad puppy face. "Don't do that..." she says. I keep on staring at her. "I'm not even good enough!" I keep on staring. "UGH! Fine." "Yes! Thank you thank you thank you!" I say and out of happiness I give her a kiss on her cheek. Wow... What? Why did I just do that? She looks at me with her green eyes in question, as I pretend nothing happened. "Well, I gotta go tell John, so... Thanks." I smile, trying to make her forget about 5 seconds ago. She gives me a smile back, and I quickly walk away.

Can someone just hit me in the face right now? That was so embarrassing. I keep on walking while hating myself to death. I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around. It's Liam. "Niall..." he starts. "Yeah?" "I saw you give that girl a kiss. Was that just friends or more? I mean, I don't mean to mind your business but... What about Sarah?" Right... About that. I totally forgot to tell them that Sarah and I are over. "Liam... I forgot to tell... Sarah and I, we broke up." His jaw drops. "What?! Niall how could you forget that!" "I'm sorry! I just... Forgot." He sighs. "You know, I'm okay with the fact that you don't take relationships serious but... Then don't start a relationship." he says. I nod. I know he's right... He gives me a weak smile and walks away.

After happily telling John about Cait, I walked into the dressing room again. The other lads weren't there. I got bored quickly so I decided to check on Cait. (Yes, I did realize it was a very bad idea.) I walk into the make-up room, where she works as the stylist's assistent. I look around. I don't see her anywhere. I decide to walk up to Anne (the sweet stylist that has a horrible taste in clothes. Like, this one time she wanted me to wear these deathly tight leather pants with fringes, and she matched it with a cowboy hat and a white shirt. She said it 'really looked good' on me and was 'different than normal'. Well it sure as hell was different). "Hey Anne, you know where Cait is?" She turns around. "Oh hey sweetie. Um, John is making her try on some dresses." I simply nod and walk to the changing rooms. When I walk around the corner I see the most beautiful girl in the entire universe. She's standing there in a perfect fitting black dress, while looking into the mirror. I hate myself for liking her, but... I can't stop myself anymore. Her tiny waist and gorgeous face, she's almost perfect. I stand there for a while until she sees me. "Oh, hey! I didn't see you there." she says. "I noticed." I grin. "Is there something wrong?" She asks, worry appearing on her face right away. "No, no. Everything's fine." I say. She looks at me frowning her eyebrows. I come closer. "You look hot." I say. "Um, thanks." She says. "But I'd prefer the word pretty over hot." She says, tilting her chin up, trying to look as an independant woman as she looks into the huge mirror in front of her. "You should wear that more often." I say. She blushes. I smile, satisfied. I am so god damn attracted to this girl... I walk closer and closer. It feels stupid to even try to hide it anymore. Our lips are only inches away... Then suddenly it gets to me what I'm doing. I back off a bit. "Sorry..." I say awkwardly. She looks at me with her big green eyes. "I... I gotta go." I quickly walk out of the room, leaving her before she could even say anything. I walk through the halls, confused. I did not feel anything for her. I'm probably just hungry, and tired, or... Suddenly I bump into someone. It's a guy, probably like 40 years old. He looks furious. "Oh sorry man, didn't see you there." "WHERE'S CAIT?" He yells at me, even though I stand right in front of him. "I don't know anyone called Cait." I lie. He looks at me as if he's trying to hypnotize me. "Are you lying to me? Because if you are then-" He looks up. It seems like he's gonna lose it any second. "YOU!" he yells at something behind me. I turn around...

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I'm sorry this is a short chapter! I wanted to go on but I thought this might be a nice cliff hanger (: Next one will be longer.
