I could see my mom intently staring at me, it made me very uncomfortable. She continued to do so until decided to acknowledge her.
“What was that all about?” She asked me slightly confused.
“Nothing.” I quickly responded to her, like it did not matter.

She looked at me and I could see that she was annoyed. “Are you going to tell me what is going on?” She snapped at me. Honestly I didn’t want to tell her. I like keeping things to myself, but I guess I couldn't do that anymore, considering that Niall just told a room full of people that I ran away from him.

I explained to her what had happened. Amusement took over her face. “Leave it to you to run away from him.” She laughs clearly amused at the entire situation.

“It’s not funny.” I angrily said to her. She looks at me and tells me “I am going back to the room.”

“Don’t leave.” I ask her like a small child who is afraid of being lost.

“Enjoy the rest of the show.” She tells me. I look at her, “You will be fine, relax.” I try do as she says. I watch her walk away. She knew I needed to handle this on my own, having her here would only make my nerves shoot through the roof.I needed to be alone with Niall. I am still unprepared for this.

I go back to my seat and listen intently to the last few songs, their voices soothing me once again. I let myself slip out of the moment, and I only hear the music.

Niall’s P.O.V.

Finally we finish our set, I look out at the crowd and it is slowly disappearing. I want to see Rachel. Excitement fills my body knowing that soon I will be able to talk to her, assuming she didn’t leave.

Rachel’s P.O.V.

The room emptied quickly, I found myself almost alone. Someone appeared to my right. “Rachel?” he questioned. “Yes?” I respond “Follow me.”

I follow him around the back of the stage, and then I am seated in a room. I stare at the wall impatient, then I hear a familiar voice. I turn and see Niall’s perfect blue eyes staring back at me. I shyly look down a smile emerges on my face. He notices. Awkwardly we stare at each other for what seems like hours. Finally he breaks the silence.
“Why did you run away?” He questions, and I feel like I am being interrogated. I look at him not knowing what to say. “I-I guess I was just nervous.” He looks amused.
“You have been on my mind since the second I saw you.” He admits to me. “Why?” I question. “No one has ever just disappeared on me.” He says his eyes piercing into me. “I didn’t think it would matter, if I just slipped away. I thought you would just forget about it.” I look at him embarrassed. “Why would you think I would do that?” He questions me, pulling my body closer to his.
I try to wiggle my way back, but he won’t allow it. He has a firm grip around my body. He laughs, “While you gonna answer my question?” I close my eyes, hoping that I will become invisible, but I have no such luck. I open my eyes and swallow back my fears, guess I have to be honest.
“I didn’t think it would matter because I am only average, I am not memorable in any way. I did not think that you would look for me, honestly I was mortified and hoped you would forget you even saw me.” He looked at me and his face grew serious. “I didn’t want to forget you.” I look at him not wanting to tell him how I really feel, but I go against myself.
“I didn’t think you would care, I am not pretty like the others.” I say in almost a whisper. “You are beautiful.” He calmly responds to me, as if he is trying to inform me of it. We lock eyes, our bodies still touching; and he plants his lips on mine. I feel as if I have lost all the blood in my body, I feel myself go numb. Please don’t let this be a dream. My eyes open he is still there. He notices me looking at him. He smiles into the kiss, and I bite his lip gently. He pulls away and kisses the tip of my nose. Once again we sit in silence, our eyes locked on each other.
Niall’s P.O.V.
This girl is killing me, she is so beautiful and she doesn’t even realize it. I was devastated when she disappeared into the crowd of people. I have never been this drawn to someone before. The second she landed on top of me, I knew I had to know who she is.

Her lips tasted so sweet, I want more. I had to stop myself, I don’t want to scare her away. If I push her too hard, I could loose her. I can see it in her eyes, she has been hurt before. I know I have to make her trust me first. She has to know I won’t abandon her. I want to feel her close to me. I pull her in, and she doesn’t resist. I smile as we cuddle together on the couch. She lays her head on my chest, and the rest of the room disappears. I can only see her.
