*Niall's POV*

"So... can that lucky Directioner come up onstage please? We've been dying to know how that girl looks like, don't you Niall?" Louis teased, nudging me on the elbow.

"Oh shut up." I replied, rolling my eyes. But yes, deep down inside, the curiosity inside is eating me alive. How I long to immediately hold those long slender arms of hers, and smell the familiar fragrance of her strawberry-scented shampoo. However, I can't. I need to know what's going on first.

"There she is! I see our lucky 1D princess. Wow, what a beauty! Niall, she is just exactly your type of girl!" Harry added. I rolled my eyes again.

From afar, I could tell Daphne's blushing. Her fine blonde hair was let flowing down, framing her delicate face perfectly. I could tell she's excited, yet a bit scared at the same time, as she stumbled a little while coming up the stairs. Is she excited to see me? Does she... miss me?

Doing his Daddy Direction thing, Liam went up to Daphne and gave her a hug. "Welcome Ms. Chase! Or are you okay with us calling you Daphne?"

Then I heard her voice, a voice I yearned to hear throughout the years. 

"Um, Daphne's fine."

*Daphne's POV*

I was rooted to the spot. How could it be? 

"So... can that lucky Directioner come up onstage please? We've been dying to know how that girl looks like, don't you Niall?" Louis said.

I could see girls looking all around the arena, scanning the crowd for that lucky girl. I'm so dead. I glanced to my left and right. Maybe, there's another Daphne Chase. It couldn't be me. However, I do know it really is me, no matter how hard I try to deny the fact. So, I quietly walked out and head towards the center stage. I could practically feel eyes of jealous girls glaring at my back, with their you're-so-dead-look on their faces. Yes I know. I'm so dead. I'm gonna get so much hate from like how many? A few million girls?

"There she is! I see our lucky 1D princess. Wow, what a beauty! Niall, she is just exactly your type of girl!" I hear Harry saying. Really? I'm Niall's type? I could feel my cheeks go red hot. To think that the adorable Niall would fancy me... No that's impossible.

I stumbled a bit while going up the stairs. I feel like throwing up. Everything seems to be a blur. Is this really happening, or is it my imagination? But when I felt Liam's strong arms around my shoulder, I knew. THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING. Oh my Gawd I can die without regrets now.

Liam said to me, "Welcome Ms. Chase! Or are you okay with us calling you Daphne?"

I was lost at words. Looking into Liam's mezmerizing eyes, I could only manage a "Um, Daphne's fine." What the hell is wrong with me? Finally, I get to see the five people on Earth that I've always wanted to see and that is all I can say? I mentally face-palmed myself. Damn it.

After that, it was all a blur. I knew Zayn said something about pitying me, having to bear with their mess and stuff, and Louis commented about my scarf. Then, I was ushered down the stage. And to protect me from getting mobbed, I was seated at a special place, arranged by the management. Aww, how thoughtful!

The concert continued but I couldn't concentrate on their songs. Even when Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn belted out their super catchy What Makes You Beautiful, I didn't lip-synch. I couldn't help but ponder over what just happened to me right now. I was chosen to go on tour with them? It's unbelievable. And there's one more thing that I don't understand. Harry said I was exactly the type of girl Niall likes. When I was onstage, I could feel Niall's wide blue eyes training on me all the time, even when I was walking down the stairs to my specially arranged seat right now. Yet, he did not talk to me even once when all the rest did. He didn't say anything. And I couldn't help but notice after Niall saw me, he couldn't even manage a smile. 

Does he hate me? What did I do?
