Niall's POV:
I sighed as the next CD reached me, lazily signing it then pushing it on to Zayn. "How much longer are we gonna have to sit here?" I whispered to Paul. He shrugged then motioned to the still endless line of fans waiting. "Oh, come on." I mumbled under my breath, I mean don't get me wrong. I loved to meet the fans, but after hours of hand cramps and girls screaming and crying, it got a little...tiring. I continued on until it was finally break! There weren't many fans left, I'd guess a hundred. We could finally see the end of the line. The rest of the boys and I stood up and starting to walk past all the fans on the way out. We were greeted by eruptions of screaming from all directions, I'm suprised I haven't lost my hearing yet. I glanced at all the fans, trying to wave and acknowledge them all. That's when my eyes met hers.
Hope's POV:
I nervously clutched my Up All Night CD in my hand as I joined the line. Today was the day I was finally going to meet One Direction. It's been a day I've been waiting for for what feels like my whole life. I was so excited but too nervous to scream or cry like the rest of the girls. I somehow felt left out even though the rest of these girls were here for the same reason, to meet the boys we loved so much. I looked around analyzing everything, and my self esteem dropped. Every girl was better than me, skinnier and prettier. I felt the urge to leave, to run far away but was jolted back to reality when my friend Abby nudged me. "I cannot believe this is really happening Hope, I'm going to cry." she whispered with a huge smile on her face. I managed a smile back and continued waiting. About 3 hours into the signing I became very scared, We were only about 50 fans away from meeting them. The lump in my throat grew larger, and I began to sweat but suddenly a whistle was blown and we were told to step back. Security was blocking us, I wasn't sure why until i stood up on my tippy toes. I saw all the boys walking past...only 10 feet from me. I wanted to scream like all the other girls, but I just couldn't. First came Harry, then of course Lou was right behind him, then Liam and Zayn, finally Niall. He was my favorite. I held my breath wishing he would somehow notice me, that's when he looked up at me, straight into my eyes.
Niall's POV:
She had the most stunning hazel eyes, I couldn't look away I was almost mezmorized. The thing that made her stand out besides being the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen is that she was quiet..shy. I needed to know her name, now. I ran ahead of the other boys up to Preston and whispered in his ear. "Preston, Go over there and get her, I need to talk to her." Preston just nodded and made his way to the girl. I turned around and walked out to the tour bus with the rest of the boys. We climbed on to the bus, ready to eat, the only strange then was..I wasn't really hungry, My stomach was doing loops as I nervously looked out the window waiting for Preston.
Hope's POV:
I was shocked as I watched Niall staring at me. He broke our gaze, running up to their security guard. I sighed looking down..So much for him noticing me I thought. Until Abby grabbed my hand in a death grip screaming. Confused, I looked up to see Niall pointing at me..at ME. I couldn't believe it, but Niall and the boys continued on out the doors. I wasn't sure what to think as I saw their security guard make his way over to me. "Hello Miss, Could you come with me for a moment?" he whispered, suddenly scared I had done something wrong I nodded. As he took me by the arm and led me out I could feel the gazes of the other girls piercing into me. Finally, We made it out to the tour bus. The security guard turned to me and said "Follow me on to the bus, one of the lads would like to meet ya." Suddenly, I felt like I was going to be sick..Was this really happening? To me?
Niall's POV:
I watched as Preston led the girl to the tour bus and I stood up preparing to meet her. She walked up the stairs and Preston led her over to me. "Hello Babe" I said brightly as she walked up. She seemed a little unsure as she replied "Hello" with a small smile. "Mind leaving us alone Preston?" I said with a cheeky wink. "Fine, but you've got to be back out there in 15 minutes" Preston said leaving the bus. I relaxed on the couch and invited her to sit with me. "So what's your name love?" I asked politely. "Hope" she said, seeming a little more comfortable. "That's a really pretty name..for a really pretty girl." I said trying to flirt. She blushed flaming red and replied "Well, you're not so bad yourself." So she does talk I thought! "Not so shy after all?" We laughed. "I guess not...but can I ask you something?" "Of course, Anything." I said a little puzzled. "Why did you pick me..out of all those beautiful and perfect girls..?" She said, Unable to look me in the eye. I reached foward and gently grabbed her chin. "Because you are beautiful, You are perfect, and you know what you are that they aren't..?" She looked into my eyes questioning. "You're Different" I said quietly. She smiled up at me as I leaned in to kiss her. I had finally found what I was looking for...Something Different.
