7. little things

#Niall POV#

Here I am in X-Factor's backstage again. Today, me and the boys are gonna perform Little Things and I'm excited. Not exactly because of the performance but because after the show i'm going to Demi's house. Again. Okay, I'm not exactly excited. I'm more afraid than anything else. Okay, I can't think in that right now. I have to focus on my performance. I already know to where I'm gonna look at. Wherever Demi is. Okay they are calling us to the stage. Let's do this!

#Demi POV#

Okay, One Direction's clip is rolling. In some seconds they will be there singing one of the most romantic song they ever sang. Okay, I have to try to keep a straight face, not show my emotions. Maybe he won't even look at me. They are now on the stage. Zayn's solo, then Liam's. Niall is staring at the ground. Louis' solo and Harry's. Okay, now is the moment of truth. After this chorus I'll know if he really thinks in me during this song. His head is still turning to the ground. He raises his head right when his part started.

You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you

Oh sh*t! He is staring at me.

And you'll never treat yourself right, darling, but I want you to.

I turned my head to the table but I can feel Niall's eyes looking right to me.

If I let you know I'm here for you

I'm gonna cry. No. Not in the show.

Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh.

Oh f*ck. My tears are already blurring my view. Simon is next to me. I can't let him see me crying. The song is over and, since One Direction weren't interview, I ran away from the table, right when they annouce the break. I hope any of the cameras caught me crying. I ran to the dressing room and grabbed my phone.

-Yes?-Selena's voice was something that really could cheer me up anytime. Well, anytime but this one.-Demi, is that you? What's going on? Were you on the show?

-I...I...-I couldn't speak. My throat was dry and the tears were rolling down my face.

-Demi, is that really you?-Selena said, her voice was worried.-What happened? Are you crying?

-No...-I lied.

-I know you are.-Selena always knew when something's wrong.-Why are you crying?

-I...Niall...The show... The song...-it was the only thing I could say.

-You are crying because of One Direction's performance?

-Yes...

-Why?

-You don't get it, Sel.-I finally found a way to talk to her, while my tears were still falling from my eyes.

-Yes, he was looking at you.

-How do you know it?

-I'm watching it, duh. But, like I was saying, he was looking at you but that doesn't mean that he sang to you.

-Selena, I...

-What, Demi?

-Look, I accidentally said yesterday to Louis that I had feelings for Niall. And I think now I realize I actually feel something for him.

-It's obvious, Demetria!-Selena said, laughing.-Everyone else had noticed it before, but you two are so blind.

-Hey, I never said that I was madly in love with him, okay?

-Yet.

-Shut up!-I said, making her laugh.

-Are you better now?-Selena asked, caring and lovely with sweetness in her voice.
