___________

There was still maybe three hours until the concert actually started, which gave us about four and half hours. Interesting...

I was standing at the food table, reaching for a bottle of water, when Louis walked up.

"Hello!" He said, smiling widely.

"Hi, how are you?" I asked, smiling back at him.

"I'm giddy, yourself?" He asked, grabbing a bottle of Coca Cola.

"I'm wonderful, glad to be here," I laughed, "I really am excited to see you guys perform."

"I'm really excited to perform for you then," He grinned, "so, I hear that Niall got in some trouble yesterday." He raised an eyebrow, obviously expecting an explanation from the witness of the situation.

Oh great.

"Well, um, you see, to start off, I was playing football yesterday for a game, and Niall wanted to come and watch. My ex, Trevor, he um, he showed up. He cheated on me, with my ex best friend...Anyways, when we were leaving, he started saying stuff about me...Next thing I knew, Niall was on top of him, beating him to a pulp, until I finally pulled them apart." I said, scratching the back of my neck.

"Well, Trevor sounds like a dick, and Niall never defends someone like that unless he cares for them. I understand you guys haven't known each other for a long time, but, you're a special girl, Mckenzie." He said, picking an apple off of the table, and began to nibble on it.

"Kenzie, call me Kenzie." I said quickly, as he nodded and turned around, walking the other way. I frowned, opening the cap of my water bottle, taking a few sips before I looked around the room. I found that everybody was talking to one another, and Niall was on his phone on one of the couches.

I didn't know what I was doing until I found myself wandering over to him. I stopped about halfway there, as the breath hitched in my throat and nearly turned around, until Niall looked up from his phone and spotted me.

He smiled up at me, watching me walk over to him. "What's up?" He asked, locking his phone.

"Nothing, just looking for someone to talk to, yourself?" I responded.

"Just checking out twitter," He said, "are you excited for the concert? You have front row seats, Liam's girlfriend Abigail will be here soon too."

"Of course, I'm excited! And cool, maybe we'll be having some fun." I smiled.

After I said that, a tall, beautiful brunette walked into the room, Liam running over to her. My guess is, that was Abigail.

"Do you know all of our songs?" He asked, curiosity dripping in his voice.

"Nooooo," I said, knowing my cheeks were growing pink.

"Really?" Niall asked, a smirk growing on his face.

"Of course not, I'm into more All Time Low and The Script and Meghan Trainor," I said, even though I did know their songs.

Niall cocked an eyebrow, the smirk still growing, grabbing my phone out of my hands. He unlocked my phone, searching for my music.

Well.

"Your music begs to differ," He said, handing my phone back to me.

"Whatever," I laughed lightly, rolling my eyes.

After a few moments of teasing, Niall was still smiling.

"Let's take a walk?" He suggested, standing from his spot on the couch.
