Behind It All

The Boys

--Hayley's Point Of View--

It's been a few days since my date with Niall and he's still being awkward and ignoring. I understand he's annoyed, I am too, I just wish he would understand that I didn't realise this was the kind of job I had signed up for. I'd take it all back if I could. Though Jack made it quite clear that I can't quit this job. I have no choice. Why doesn't Niall understand that?

Anyway, the boys have got another concert today and I've been trying to help out backstage while Jane looks after my son.

I was in the middle of chatting to Paul when Niall passed by.

"Hey Niall, come here!" Paul called after him.

He stopped and turned on his heels to come back over to us.

"I've just been talking to Hayley, why haven't you told me anything about her before?!" Paul smiled. Paul knew our relationship was fake though he still believed we were good friends.

Ha. He doesn't know the half of it.

"Not much to tell" Niall said not even looking our way.

"Have you met the other boys yet?" Paul asked me to change the subject, giving Niall a confused glance.

"No I haven't actually" I said truthfully.

"Niall go ahead and introduce her to the boys. They're all in the dressing room." Paul ordered with a smile.

"Fine" Niall huffed turning back to walk again as I followed behind him.

A feeling of my inner teenage fangirl took over me as I felt the butterflies erupt in my stomach. I was about to meet my other 4 idols who I have adored for what felt like forever.

How is this happening?

I don't even deserve this..

My thoughts were interrupted when Niall opened the door to the dressing room.

"Niall!" Liam cheered from his seat beside Zayn as Harry and Louis sat next to each other on another sofa.

"Who's this? oh it's that girl isn't it?!" harry questioned with a puzzled look on his face as he stared me in the eyes.

"This is Hayley, the fake girlfriend that management are forcing me to have" Niall said as all eyes were on me.

"Hello Hayley, I'm Louis, this is Harry, over there is Liam and next to him is Zayn" Louis smiled.

"Hi" I smiled back shyly.

"I'm going to get some water, be back in 5 minutes" Niall stated before leaving the room.

"Hayley, come sit down and tell us all about yourself" Harry said making a space on the sofa in between him and Louis.

I sat down and thought of what I should say.

"Well first of all I just want to tell you guys that when I signed for this job I wasn't actually told what it was and by the time I was told what it was it was too late to go back so I'm kind of stuck with this job and Niall hates me for it but I promise you guys I had no idea it was this, otherwise I would never have wanted the job" I said hoping they didn't hate me like Niall.

"We understand" Liam said as all the boys watched me.

"Niall will come around eventually, he's just mad" Zayn spoke.

"He shouldn't take it out on you though" Liam said.

"Yeah well, he doesn't even wanna talk to me" I sighed.

"It's okay, you can talk to us, we never shut up" Louis chirped making me laugh.

We spoke for another 5 minutes just about the band and the tour they're going on until Niall returned.

Niall joined in the conversation though he was only talking to the boys, not me.

He wouldn't even look at me.

He really doesn't like me.

It stings so much. He used to be my hero.

At least the other boys like me.

Hopefully Niall comes around.

He isn't the Niall I thought he was...
