Between Boys (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 07: Rehearsal

The boys are extraordinary, even better than I’ve ever dreamed of! I just can't stop smiling.

Louis hip thrusts like a god, Zayn’s high notes are insane, Harry’s solos are overwhelming, Niall’s voice is mesmerizing & Liam’s puppy dog face is incredibly adorable.

I can’t help but notice that Niall is making a lot of eye contact and so is Liam. I guess I just know them better than the other boys so far so they notice me more.

I giggle at the thought of them noticing me.

♫I, I wanna save your, Wanna save your heart tonight, He’ll only break ya, Leave you torn apart, Oh! ♫

Zayn and Niall’s voices make the best duets I find, they are so beautiful together.

While singing the chorus of 'Save You Tonight', Niall points at me! Man I love him. Ever since I've met him like, not even 2 hours ago, he’s so sweet and just a really cool guy. We got on really well, especially our romantic moment in his dressing room, that'd be awesome if it happens again. Who knows!

Wow, I would have never expected this rehearsal to be so, emotional… It’s sounds strange, but yes, emotional.

While the boys were singing 'Torn', I couldn't help but cry a bit. Liam took notice and mouthed “Don’t cry” and smiled at me. How couldn’t I cry considering where I was and why, especially watching Liam and Harry sing such an amazing song…

I also got extremely emotional during 'Use Somebody' because personally, I find that it's 1D’s absolute best cover cause it really shows off their insanely beautiful voices, especially Niall’s. The boys get so intense during that one, it’s just incredible!

Listening to One Direction live, knowing I’m one of the only people in the audience besides their family and crew, is just unfathomable! I’m so happy I ran into Liam last week…

In a way I owe all this to my irritating sister for making me go to the front desk for our TV. So many what ifs are running through my head right now…

What if I never brought my sister to LA?

What if the TV worked at the hotel?

What if Liam didn’t go to that hotel?

My life would be normal, not that it isn’t normal now, but I mean, who would consider befriending One Direction normal? I feel a vibration coming from my back pocket, I got a text from Eleanor.

Eleanor: Hey! Where r u right now? U wanna hang? (: I can’t just tell her where I am...

Me: Hi! I can’t srry, I fell the other day on my longboard and killed my elbow, c u tomorrow night at Cody’s party though!

Honestly, my elbow doesn’t really hurt anymore, and wow, I had completely forgot about Cody until now! I can see why he and Eleanor are friends, he’s SO nice and really hot.

Eleanor: Hope u feel better 4 tomorrow… Gonna b sick! xx

I get back to watching One Direction preform.

'Moments', 'Up All Night', 'What Makes You Beautiful'… I’m amazed… Speechless!

The rehearsal ends with Josh’s outstanding drum solo, he’s such an awesome drummer! Once he finishes, the lights turn back on and the boys come back to center stage. The managers and choreographers go to the group of cuties and tell them what they have to work on. This took up about a half an hour.

I find myself playing Angry Birds on my iPod.

“Did you enjoy the show?” 

I quickly look up from my game of Angry Birds to see Liam standing right next to me. I turn off my iPod straight away, embarrassed that I was playing a game while I’m supposed to be watching One Direction.

Liam notices that I feel bad and tells me that it’s okay and that he finds that part boring too, but that it's necessary.

I smile, he’s so sympathetic. “What was your favorite performance?” he asks.

“Definitely Use Somebody, you guys always sing it so flawlessly!”

“Why thank you!” he says proudly. “I’m so happy you enjoyed yourself.”

“Liam!!” his mom calls to him. “Come here please, hun!”

“Shoot, I’ve gotta go,” he starts. “If I don’t see you before you leave, text me later so we can make plans to see each other again.”

“Okay!” He runs off to see his mother and they walk backstage.

I’m once again standing alone…

Awkward...

Well, I guess I’ll leave. I really don’t want to, but Liam’s busy and I don’t know the others that well and I’m too shy to go talk to them. I wish I could see Niall again...

“Danielle! Wait!” I turn around to see Niall running towards me, amazing irony!

“Hey! Uhh, here.” He hands me a small piece of paper. “If you ever need anything or you wanna hangout, just call me.”

“Thanks! I will!”

He smiles. 

“Great, see you ‘round!”

“By the way, you were incredible on stage!” I say just as he was about to leave.

“Thank you,” he blushes. “And you are quite the dancer.” I laugh. Ahh, his smile is so perfect!

“Thanks! See you later Niall.”

I leave the building holding his number tightly in my hands, with the biggest, cheesiest smile on my face. Those boys make me so happy! I really feel for Liam and Nialler though. That would be cool if one of them felt the same way about me, but they are super famous. I’m surprised they even want to hang out with me! I hope I get to know Zayn, Louis & Harry more, they seemed busy at the rehearsal so we didn’t really get to talk.

Even though it’s getting late, I decide to do a little shopping before I get back to the hotel, I need something to wear for tomorrow night.

I can’t wait to see Eleanor and Cody again! I met them both for such a short amount of time so it’d be cool to hang out with them at the party.
