Distorted (A Niall Horan Story)
Chapter 18
*Alice POV*
Today is the day of Niall’s concert; I woke up earlier because of that. Yesterday, Niall slipped the tickets under the door. He said he’s afraid to wake me up. I don’t know what time did he came. Its 7am currently, I’m still picking which cloths I should use for the concert. He gave me 3 tickets, not really know why? I don’t really have friends here in London. Speaking of friends… Oh, my God! Alice, what have you done? Jenner will be coming here today! Oh speak of the devil, my phone rang and it is from Jenner.
“Alice,” she called, “I’ve been trying to call you since the last two days? Where have you been? Are you eating daily? Oh, God, Alice, quit making me worrying about you.” I must tell her, “Jen, are you coming today?’ Jen didn’t say a word for a second, “What are you talking about? Did you read my texts? I told you I’ve been in London since this morning, around 3am?” I’m so dead. She just came to London, and it’s impossible for Jen to accept my offer to watch One Direction concert.
Should I lie to her about this? “Jen, do you like One Direction?” I asked her. “Well, they’re okay. I do like Harry Styles, but… I think I like Chace Crawford better?” I can’t like to her, really. “Jen, sorry, but please, please, please will you come with me to One Direction concert.”
“Sure.” She said lightly, “When is it?” This is the hardest part, “Today,” I mumbled to myself, hoping she misheard. “What?!” Jen shouts in my ears, guess she heard it loud and clear. “Alice Ray Williams, I came to London for you! You knew that I’ll come here today? And you… oh, I just can’t say it. How could you do this to me?” See, I told you, she would get mad. “I’m sorry, Jen, I promise this won’t ever happen again. It’s so important to me, please, Jen.”
Jenner didn’t answer me for a long time, “Sorry, Alice. I’m just way too tired, you can just go with your other friends.” Then she hung up the phone. I tried to call her many times, but she just wouldn’t pick up my call. Thus, I texted her, hoping that she would read. “… meet me there,” I sighed then went to the bathroom. This is supposed to be a great day, but I just can’t stop thinking about Jenner. I wanted to call Niall, but I just realized we haven’t exchange numbers or emails. So, this is hard.
Since Niall gave me a VIP tickets, I don’t have to wait like 5 hours before the concert like most of the girls does to get the best place. I went shopping for clothes, using my own money. I actually still have my pocket money which is enough for me to buy clothes for 12 months. However, I must not spend it too much. This is the good thing to save money just in case. I’ll only use my mom’s card for groceries. I don’t know how many cloths have I tried, and in the end I didn’t buy anything. I used to shop with Jenner, and since she wasn’t here, I don’t know what to choose. I really, made her mad. What kind of friend am I? I went home straight after that, I choose a plain white slim fit shirt and short pants. I didn’t realize that it’s 6 already, the concert begin at 7. I ran across the road to find a taxi, good thing that the taxi stopped right in front of me not too long.
About 25 minutes later, I have arrived in the stadium; I went to the entrance gate where I told Jen to meet me here. While I’m at it, I met a girl cried in the corner, so I approached her. “What’s wrong?” I said to her, well, she’s about 15 or something, I guess. She looks at me, and then she looks down again, “I didn’t get the ticket. I’m really looking forward to see this concert for my whole life.” I frowned. Wow, a girl cried over it. Fan girls really are amazing. I pull one VIP ticket from my purse and give it to her. “I accidentally bought more, so if you want, you can take it.” I said while giving her the ticket. She looks at me with her eyes. Maybe she still can’t believe what she heard. “Jesus, are you serious? Oh my God, oh my God! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I owe you a big time! Really, how much is for that ticket?”
I’m in economic crisis here, but if I give her a charge for that ticket, it’s not fair, but… oh well. “Nah, it’s yours. I don’t take charge for it though.” She then hugs me very tightly and countless times said thanks to me before she ran to the stadium. I smiled and still waiting for Jen to come. Suddenly, someone pokes my shoulder, so I turned around, “Jen—“
“Jen? It’s Niall.” He said, “I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Why don’t you come inside? It might snow soon.” I bit my lips and sighed, “I’m looking for my friend. Well, we had a fight this morning, and I’m not really sure if she would come or not.”
Niall smiles and pat my head. “Alice, you’re a very nice person. I’m sure if you apologize sincerely she would forgive you. I’ve never seen someone give a free ticket to a stranger before though.” I lift my eyebrows and look at him closely. “You’ve got to be kidding me? You seen that? Oh God, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to give a ticket to stranger. I don’t have any friends other than Jen, which she just came today. So, I thought it would be a waste if I just keep it.”
Niall shook his head while smiling. “No, actually, I’m really proud of you. You gave one person a chance for them to experience what she likes best, and for me, that’s really wonderful.” I smiled to Niall, “I—“
“Alice?” someone called my name. I turn my head to my front and saw a girl with a long tees and jeans staring at me, and then her eyes switch to Niall, its Jenner. “Niall Horan? Okay, I know what’s going on.” Niall chuckles and walks towards Jenner. “You must be Jenner?” Good thing Jen is not a big fan of Niall, so she kept calm, although I knew she want to freak out. “Thanks for coming. Your friend, Alice has been waiting for you.” Niall smiles, “I wish I could accompany you, but sadly, I must go inside before the others are worried.” Jenner nods. “Well, see you ladies, hopefully you can enjoy yourself.” He said while running to staff office at the back of the stadium.
“Alice,” Jen called me after that, “if you told me what actually happened between you and Niall, I wouldn’t be so mad with you.” I frowned and looks to the ground. “But you’ll be mad at me.” Jen shook her head. “Alice, no matter how tired I am, but I will have extra strength to come and meet my friend’s new boy.” She said while winked her eyes at me. I laughed, “He’s not my boyfriend.” Jen rolled her eyes, “yet.”
