Chapter Six

     The arena was massive. It was an entire football field filled with screaming fans drunken with anticipation. Lights were dancing across the crowds, flickering across my face and making me more and more excited by the second. I seemed to be the only excited one among Eleanor, Danielle and, of course, Riley. Eleanor and Danielle were used to the crowds, the lights and seeing their boyfriend perform on stage. And Riley was still bothered by the minor arguement she and Niall had. Although I was still being eaten up by the fact that Niall's heart was breaking because of me, I was too electrified by the feeling of being at a One Direction concert. It was everything I thought it would be and it hadn't even started yet. The scene was glowing and the thrill was reeking from the crowd. I smiled brightly and turned to Riley. 

     "This is so amazing!" I squealed while grabbing her arm. She huffed and rolled her eyes. Yeah, she was still pretty upset. Hopefully she'd be able to smooth it over with Niall later. But how could she, when I couldn't? Refusing to let it ruin my night, I brushed the stress away and focused on finding our seats. Our front row seats, I thought to myself. We made our way to the stage and found our sections. I could literally touch the stage from where I was. 

     "Harry's really excited to have you here," Eleanor said from beside me. I smiled. Was he really?

     "Yeah, but hopefully they don't do anything too embarrassing to him during his solo in What Makes You Beautiful. Knowing the boys, they'll make an extra effort since you're watching," Danielle snickered from beside Eleanor. I laughed, too. Hopefully they ripped his shirt off again. 

     "What's that guy's problem?" Riley suddenly said from beside me. We all turned to her and I frowned. She was really upset. I haven't seen her this upset about such a small argument before. 

     "I don't know. He's usually not like that," said Eleanor softly. I bit my lip as I thought of the Niall that showed up at my doorstep and confessed his feelings for me. The Niall that made me feel butterflies from head to toe when he looked deep into my eyes. The Niall that was so sweet and funny when I first met him at the hotel. The Niall that I may or may not like. But the Niall Riley is talking about is someone I've never met before.  

     "Well I do remember seeing him like that once," Danielle said, as she looked up as if trying to remember. We all waited until she began speaking again. "Oh yeah, now I remember. He acted like this towards a girl once. But later it turned out that-" 

     Blaring music began playing and the lights zoomed across the arena in a faster pace. Danielle shrugged and I realized she didn't know that we weren't able to hear the end of her sentence. 

     The fans began screaming and jumping widly. A short video of the boys appeared on the big screen as the crowd yelped and hollered when their favorites appeared. Then they walked out. Smiling and laughing and jumping up and down as if they were just as giddy as their fans. I smiled when I saw Harry. He looked amazing on stage as if he were created to perform. His eyes were twinkling from the stage lights and he stared across the crowd to take it all in waited for the screams to subside. As it got quieter his eyes lowered and he looked up at me. He smiled and winked. My heart melted and my face flushed. Music began playing again and they began singing "Na Na Na". I sang along and danced, even. Even Eleanor and Danielle were singing along. I looked over at Riley and she seemed amused to see the boys up there. It seemed that she was beginning to regret her little quarrel with Niall. 

     The boys continued with their songs and it was time for them to answer questions from the crowd. They all gathered around their leather couch and waited for questions to appear on the big screen.  

     "Alright, first question," Liam spoke into the microphone. "'Zayn, can you sing a little Drake?'" Everyone screamed as to encourage him. Zayn stood and began singing one of Drake's songs of his latest album as the girls shot out piercing screams.
