When the concert was over, I realized I didn't cheer, or clap, or scream. Not even once. I was listening to them singing. Their voices - they are pure magic, I swear ! Girls around me were screaming but I still was into them, like nothing could distract me.

Eva took my arm and we started making our way to the backstage. I still had no idea what to tell them. When we arrived, the guards asked for our tickets. We handed them and entered.

When we came in, they weren't here yet. The room was full of screaming girls, though. My head was starting to hurt really badly and I told Eva I'd go sit for a while. I'm not sure if she heard me, but I didn't care, if I stood one more second, I'd faint.

As I make my way to the closest chair, One Direction came in. And the girls screamed so loudly, I could swear my eardrums collapsed. My head hurt one last time, and I remember hitting the floor. After that, everything is darkness.

When I first open my eyes, the light is too bright for me to see anything. I blink several times until I can use my sight. I sit, wondering where I am.

"She woke up !" a voice said. It was a male voice, it seemed familiar but I couldn't tell whose it was.

I heard footsteps and someone hugged me tightly. It was Eva, and I hugged her back.

"It's all my fault, I'm so sorry" She said, with a small voice.

"Eva, it's okay, it's not your fault" I told her.

I looked around, and I think I fainted again inside. I was on a couch, in a dressing room. And... One Direction was staring at me. I probably had question marks in my eyes, because Louis immediately told me :

"When you fainted, we called our nurse. She said you'd be fine and that you'd wake up in a few minutes. That's why we didn't bring you to the hospital."

I still was really confused, and this time Niall talked.

"We went backstage for the meet and greet, Eva stayed with you. We just came back and you woke up" He explained with his cute Irish accent.

"Uh." I manage to say. "Thanks. It's great to meet you guys. I'm Emily."

They all say hi, wave or smile. Eva looks at me, and her eyes are shining. I know that she can't believe that we're alone with One Direction, in their dressing room. I smile a little and say "But why did you even... care ? Doesn't this happen everyday ?"

This time Harry replied with his adorable husky voice, a smirk on his face.

"Because our fans are important. You were hurt, and in a way it's kind of our fault"

"You mean it's your fault if these stupid girls scream at the top of their lungs ?" I replied, getting up.

"Well... Yes." He winked.

Oh my god. That was cheeky. I chuckle.

"For how long was I... uh.. asleep ?" I asked, worried.

Eva reassured me. "Five minutes"

I sigh. There was a silence, but it wasn't really awkward. Just the kind of silence you enjoy. The one where you can think and clear things in your mind. 

I see the boyband exchanging looks.

Then Eva finally says, "We should get going"

I hear the boys agree on something, then Liam talks.

"So we were wondering, since we're staying here for a week, maybe we could hang out ?"

I open my mouth to reply, but Eva instantly said, or screamed, I can't tell, "Yes !"

I get my iPhone from my bag and hand it to Zayn, who is the closest to me right now, and tell them to add their numbers in my contacts, and so does Eva. They give us their phones and we do the same. After that, we say our goodbyes and leave.

When we're in the car, Eva starts jumping, clapping and singing. Then she hugs me really, really tightly.

"Thank you ! Thank you ! Oh my, what would I do without you ?" She says

"Uhm.. why are you thanking me, Eva ?"

"YOU FAINTED AND WE GOT TO MEET ONE DIRECTION PERSONNALLY !"

"Oh. That." I smirked. "You're welcome."

"Em, there's something I need to tell you, though. You're gonna be allover the Internet by tomorrow", she says, frowning.

"What the hell ? Why ?"

"Because... Well when you fainted..."

"What ? What happened ?"

"Do you know who carried you ?"

"No, what the hell ? Who ?"

She smiled a little.

"Harry Styles."
