I felt my anger boiling through me as I strummed my guitar in the dressing room. I was practicing a couple minutes before the show to calm myself for when I went onstage but I couldn't help but be angry at Niall who hasn't spoken to me all day. Not even a text after our situation.

And soon it would be 48 hours and it was a moment of truth of whether Niall handled it or not. Either way Lou had already dyed and cut my hair right underneath my hair reminding me of when I first decided to grow it longer. Possibly because I liked how my curls hung.

I heard everyone hurrying to get ready when I decided to step out and actually get set up. That's when I walked outside using my strap to place my guitar behind me and walk into the swarm of people placing the usual equipment on our persons.

"Spending all my night s alone waiting for you to call me, you're the only want by my side when I fall asleep, tell me what I'm waiting for!" I hear in the other end singing yet another tik tok following the childish dance moves.

A woman approached me pushing my hair back behind my ear placing my ear buds in and then attaching a mic to my guitar and then a wire to my person. It showed so she had to put it directly on me body due to the flannel I decided to wear with a few buttons undone, skinnies and boots with a blazer over trying to stay in dress code

It wasn't really performance attire but I was wanting to more comfortable with my style than Nialls.

"Hey Har bear! Mind closing your shirt? Apparently it's cramping Nialls style." He tells me before nodding his head towards Niall who was also getting equipped drinking from another smoothie cup.

"No." I smile before I catch Nialls harsh glance from across the room. I then look back to Louis who smiled at me and the mouthed to me 'I'm so proud of you' before pretending to wipe a fake tear.

We finished being equipped when we all huddled up just like before any other concert and Niall gave us our usual pep talk before we all broke it down in the middle.

For a second Niall looked at me and I looked at him as well wondering if he in any way, shape or form would show me that he wanted my attention .

But he looked away heading to the stage.

I felt Liam walk up behind me and place his big ass hand on my shoulder practically weighing me down before I look at him irritation clear in my expression before he looks out to Niall helping Zayn with his tie.

"Cut him some slack. He's new to this." He tells me before he looks to side of my face and twirling the freshly dyed and cut curls.

"Nice hair cut." He compliments me before he walks ahead of me making me follow behind him.

Let's get this over with.

After the performance we flooded off stage and quickly backstage to collect our things and head off to the airport so we could start our European leg of tour. With that thought in my head I realized we had maybe two months left of tour left and I couldn't believe how quick it went by.
