Together

Chapter 11

NIALL’s POV

This can’t be possible. Why the fuck is she here? At our concert. There’s a younger girl standing next to her and waving at me. She also has long brown hairs and looks really smiluar to Laura. Of course, this must be her younger sister Elly. Laura once mentioned that Elly fancies a boy group but she couldn’t remember the name. So here she is. Standing in front row. What is she thinking of right now? God, I’d love to talk to her about everything. For example about the reasons why she left the other day.

She isn’t even looking at me. She’s just looking a bit sad which makes me feel sad, too. Especially that she had to find out about my “job” that way. I should have told her. I’m such an idiot!

Suddenly I hear Liam singing: “Don’t look back, baby follow me!” which is my sign.

“I  don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way

Same old shh but a different day” I sing not stopping looking at her. But she still refuses looking in my eyes.

Please!  I beg silently. Please, look at me. Just one gaze. I want to explain everything to you.

But she doesn’t. After Louis sang his lyrics the chorus starts and I also start singing again. I have to think of an idea for getting her attention.

ONE HOUR LATER

NIALL’s POV

Short break. Of course we only have some minutes for changing our clothes. But Zayn, Liam and Harry fast go having to pee. So there’s only Louis left.

“So, what’s wrong?” he asks me, surprising me a lot.

“What do you mean?” Is it that apparent?  After Midnight Memories I’ve tried to ignore her and not to look in this one direction, in her direction.

“Oh please, I’ve noticed it immediately. You were always looking at that one girl in front row. That one with the long brown hair. She’s hot. But you didn’t wave, wink or try to flirt with her. Why not?”

“Well, it’s her.” I answer him without looking at him.

“Who?” he asks but I don’t say anything. “Oh, is it that girl you met some days ago. What was her name again? Laura? Laura Gage?”

This can’t be possible. I’ve always known that Louis’ brain is good but so good?!

“Yes, it’s her. You know the day I had this conversation with Jessy… well, during this call she left. And I still don’t know why. I don’t know what I did wrong.”

“Hm… you should talk with her. You know her address, her name. You even have her number. So why don’t you just call her?”

I did. I've called her. Many many times. But she's never answered. Whatever I did.It hurt her.  I think silently.

“Maybe you’re right.” I answer.

“Why did she even come her. I thought you haven’t told her anything about this?”

“Actually I don’t think that she’d known anything before she really saw me. I think her little sister took her.”

“Vaz happenin’ guys?” Zayn comes back. “You look a bit too serious. Why? I mean this concert is such a big succes!”

LAURA’s POV

“So, what’s wrong? You haven’t cheered or anything for the whole concert!” Elly asks me sounding a bit miffed because I didn’t act like this was the best concert I’ve ever been to.

“I’m just not that fangirl” I answer her, looking at my shoes. Actually, I hate lying, especially to her.

“Tell me the truth!” Why does she know me that good?

“You won’t belive me anyway!” I won’t tell her the truth. She’d kill me probably, because I know the Niall Horan.

“Oh come on, why would you lie to me? So, tell me, now!” Well, I could at least try to explain it.

“Okay, you remember that I told you about that guy at United Agents with the blond hairs and…”

“And the ocean blue eyes!” She interrupted me laughing. “How could I forget. You’ve told me so much about him. Of course I remember. Go ahead!”

“Calm down, will you? Well, we had lots of fun. He also took me to his appartement. And it was huge. It seemed like he had a lot of money but he didn’t tell me why. I mean, he didn’t tell me if he had a good job or rich parents or something like that. We even joked about it. But then I heard a phone call and thought he had another girl…”

“Laura. Actually, I don’t want to interrupt you again. But you’ve already told me this story. So come to the point!” God, why is she so impatient?

“Okay, okay. Well, I haven’t told you his name. His name is … Niall Horan. And he’s the guy who was on the stage only five minutes ago.”

“So guys! We’re back. Sorry, for this long break!” Harry laughs. And Elly next to me screams. Of course she didn’t belive me. She told me that I was crazy and I shouldn’t try to kid her.

“But before we continue, Niall has a message for someone out there!” Louis continues and prods Niall into action.

“Yes!” Niall sounds a bit nervous. “So there’s a person who left me some days ago and I still don’t know why.” Everybody starts saying how sorry they are, lots of ‘oh’s and ‘ah’s.

“No, it’s not that bad. Because I saw her in the crowd. So I’m sure that she’s listening right now.” He isn’t looking at me. He’s speaking to the crowd. To all the girls standing around me. But I can see that Harry and Liam are watching me. I raise my eyebrows and they start grinning.

“So let me say something to her.” He asks for everybody’s permission. Everybody screams ‘yeees’ so walks over and stops in front of me. He looks at me and he doesn’t say anything. Then he sits down and switches his microphone off.

“Laura, could you please answer my calls and talk to me?” He asks.

But I can’t answer because I’m caught in his amazing eyes. I forgot how blue they are. Like an ocean. A huge blue amazing ocean. I have to look like a completely idiot. Just looking at him.

Suddenly, I feel Elly’s elbow. “Answer him…now!” She tells me.

But I don’t want to answer his question. Not in front of my little sister… and thousands other girls. “You sing amazing.” I say instead. “I think you should go on. Everybody’s waiting.”
