I'm Here to Fix You

Chapter 8: Surprise! 

Niall’s P.O.V.

Shucks! Can you believe it?! The lads and I woke up at 2 pm! In the afternoon! Our very first concert is like in 5 hours!

Gosh, we have a lot of preparing to do since our managers gave us a day-off yesterday… sound-check, voice practice, dress rehearsal and one last run-through.. they tired the Irish snowflake alright.. The worst thing of all is that it’s the very FIRST time in my whole entire life that I skipped 2 meals! Breakfast AND lunch! How horrible! What a nightmare! Good thing the whole staff treated us to Nandos afterwards! Niall Horan is satisfied.

I checked Liam’s watch, 15 minutes to 5 o’clock. Around 2 hours, I’m so freaking excited! The managers told us to chill but not to go anywhere, just stay in the hotel until 6. So, we went back to chill at our suite. But the Horan has a bright idea.

Thanks to our 20 Questions last night, Darcy told us that she studies at Cambridge! High class stuff!

Zayn was in the living room reading magazines, Louis and Harry were fighting again over who gets to take the last taco and Liam was.. wait where’s Liam?

“Hey Lou! Where’s Liam?” I shouted. He acted as if he didn’t hear me.

Pshh.. I walked into the living room, “Yo Zayn! Where’s Liam?”

“Ohh he snuck out and went to a nearby café with Danielle. Don’t tell management.” He said winking before going back to his reading. So, I’m not the only one sneaking out, huh?

“So Zayn, don’t tell management too, ok? I’ll be back before 6, promise!”

“Sure dude. I’ll keep my mouth shut UNTIL 6. Be sure to be back by then bro!” He said patting my back. We did a bro fist. I love these lads, we’re really like brothers right now!

I ran down the hallways and into the elevator. I was about to run all the way to Cambridge, when a taxi honked at me.

“Need a ride, Mister?” a familiar voice asked.

“Bob?” I asked back.

“Shiz. I’m really not good at disguises.” He cracked a smile. It was Bob.

“Where’d ya get the taxi?”

“Bob has his magic. Hope in then! Cambridge University, huh?”

“How’d ya know? I mean, what? Why would I go there?” I blushed hard.

“Well because Darcy goes there and you like Darcy!” he teased.

“Yeah right, Bob!” I said while climbing in. Cambridge here we go.

 Darcy’s P.O.V.

5 minutes left in the 1st half. Sweat’s streaming down my face, my heart’s beating so fast and the loud cheers are too much to my ears! Typical game day here in Cambridge.

So far the game’s in our hands, the opponent’s down by 2 goals. Both from the one and only Dj Brooks! The only words I can hear are “HAT TRICK! HAT TRICK! HAT TRICK! DARCY!” The crowd wants 1 more goal, huh? Let’s give them 1 more. I sprinted to the direction of the ball.

______________________________

Finally! The ball’s in my control now. I heard the crowd, doing their 1 minute countdown. 60 seconds to make a difference, Darcy. I passed the ball to Emma who passed it to Bella. The ball’s in enemy territory, Bella ran and I caught up to her. She got past their defense. Go Bella! Unexpectedly she shouted out my name. She kicked the ball to me and I kicked it in! It hit the top right corner!
