Stole My Heart

We met up with the others and started walking down the hallway. Zayn was telling stories about their other concerts. I still couldn't believe that I was talking to One Direction - let alone in the same room with them! These were people that I loved and had huge crushed on for three years! They were my idols and the fact that I had spent a whole day with them felt like the most wonderful dream that I could wake up from at any moment.

We finally reached the end of the hallway and before we even opened the door we could hear the screams of fans outside. They got way louder when it was opened. There had to be at least a thousand girls. Security guards were trying to hold them back so that we could make our way to the bus.

Louis was standing there in awe and said, "We have the best fans in the world!"

Niall looked at me sternly and said, "Don't let go of my hand whatever you do. It gets really hectic with all those fans trying to grab at you." I could hardly hear him over the screams. "Just take it and don't let go."

I nodded and he took my hand. Louis was already leading Heather through the crowd followed by Harry, Zayn, Nina, and Liam. Niall glanced at me one more time before leading me into the crowd.

People began grabbing at me and screaming. I was feeling really claustrophobic and it seemed like I was going to pass out. I could barely hear anything and thought my head would explode. I had no sense of direction whatsoever, the only thing that kept me going and reassured me was Niall's hand in mine.

Then fans began grabbing at my wrist and I panicked. They pulled my hand away from Niall's and I was lost in the crowd. I called out his name but I always had a quiet voice. And even if I was louder I wouldn't have been heard above the other screams. I looked around wildly and desperately tried to find him.

Then I felt someone's hand take mine and led me protectively through the crowd. I saw the bus come into view and let out a sigh of relief. The crowd cleared and I could see that Niall had been the one who led me through the crowd.

Once we were on the bus he hugged me and stroked my hair in an attempt to calm me down. I was shaking and had goosebumps all over my arms even though it was 80 degrees out and the middle of summer. I was breathing heavily as if I would soon run out of air. Liam came over, offered me a cup of tea, and asked me if I was okay.

"Yeah, she's fine." Heather answered for me. "She's really claustrophobic but should calm down in a few minutes."

Niall held me and stroked my hair, telling me that I was fine now and how he would never let anything happen to me. He held onto me tightly and I wished he would never let go. It was strange how I had only known Niall for a day and yet I trusted him completely. He kissed me on the forehead and hugged me even tighter. I felt safe in his arms. I felt as though as long as I was there, nothing could hurt me.
