Chapter 2:
Niall's POV:
"THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL!" Harry finished off as the crowd went wild. I smiled and waved at our fans, breathing heavily from all the jumping and singing. I wiped sweat from my brow and grimaced as the lights shone in my eyes. Liam noticed my expression and raised his eyebrows, as if he was asking me if I was alright. I gave him a slight nod and a small smile, and then turned back to the screaming audience. The lights dimmed and we were ushered back off stage.
"Hey, are you alright?" Liam asked with worried expression. And Daddy Directioner was out of the bag! I thought to myself.
"Yeh, I'm fine, I just felt a little queasy with the tight space and all…" I drifted off, pleading him with my eyes to drop the topic. He sighed and finally caved in. Success!
A gust of wind blew at my face as soon as I walked out the doors of Flawbanks' Arena. Loud screaming of teenage fans immediately started to chant as they saw us. Paul swiftly led us towards a black van that was parked near the gates. My heart pounded loudly and my breath came out ragged due to all the closeness of the fans. I threw a glance over my shoulder, and my breathing started to constrict. I was very claustrophobic. Even being in a car for a long period of time had me freaking out. Zayn saw this and immediately tugged me into the van.
My head started to pound as we drove further away from the arena. I looked out the window and saw a teenage girl running along with the van, in stilettos. How she did it, I had no clue, but I just gave her a watery smile and a half wave. Louis chuckled at her and started making funny faces until she was out of sight.
I felt a soft thud as turned my head and saw that Zayn had fallen fast asleep with his head on my shoulder, snoring quietly. I smirked slightly when I saw some drool in the corner of his mouth. I'll have to tease him about that later, I reminded myself.
Hours passed, and we all started to get restless. We even did the Inbetweeners dance hundreds of times and made up random dance moves to each song that came on the radio, but nothing kept us entertained.
"Hey boys, I've got an idea!" we all turned to him curiously. Right at that moment, my stomach grumbled. It had been five hours since we had some food, and I was literally dying of hunger.
"What do you want Louis? I'm so hungry right now, and I'm dying to have some Nando's! When is the next stop for food?" I whined loudly, clutching my stomach and glaring at the boys in the corner of my eyes. Oh you guys are so going to get it!
"Only five more minutes until we arrive at McDonald's, so hang in there Niall!" Paul exclaimed from the front seat of the van. I sighed at the thought of food and fell into a daydream where everything was edible…
We pulled up to McDonald's exactly five minutes later, and I practically stumbled out of the van to get inside the fast food store. A young girl, no older than eighteen came to take my order. Her eyes widened and mouth parted. I braced myself for her squeals of joy that she saw Niall Horan, but instead, she shook her head and gave me a flirty smile.
"So, what would you like handsome?" she purred as she winked at me. It didn't escape me that she emphasized the word 'handsome'. My face twisted in disgust when I smelt alcohol and cigarettes in her breath. I felt like going up to her and shaking her shoulders saying that I wasn't interested. But instead, being the gentleman my mother raised me to be, I shuffled away from the counter and straightened my clothes.
"Umm…a quarter pounder with cheese, six chicken nuggets and a cheeseburger please. Oh, and don't forget to put extra ice in my coke as well!" I finished off and gave her the money. She smiled and batted her eyelashes at me. What the heck?
"Uhh…do you have something in your eye?" I asked politely, trying not to snicker at the way her face flushed with embarrassment.
"N-no!" she stammered, looking at me under her eyelashes. I rolled my eyes mentally in my head. Seriously, just hurry up with my order! I'm practically dying here!
"You know, I love a guy that eats a lot," she said as bit her lip. What's wrong with this girl? Can't see that I'm trying to be polite? She is seriously under estimating my patience.
"Can you just please hurry up with my food?" I answered her, gritting my teeth. Her face dropped as she replied with a quick 'ok' then scurried around the back and into the kitchen. I pinched the bridge of my nose and tugged the ends of my dirty blonde hair.
The bell rang as I looked up and saw Harry coming in through the door.
"Hey bro, you ready to go?" he asked me, patting my shoulder. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Yeh, man, just give me a second." I replied giving him a slight nod.
"Ok, we'll wait for you in the van," with one last look, he walked out.
I turned back to the counter and tapped my fingers in a random beat. A clearing of a throat startled me from my thoughts. I glanced up and saw the girl shifting from one leg to another awkwardly.
"Here is your food, sir. Sorry for the wait." She whispered quietly and turned around to leave. I felt guilty of making her feel bad, so before I could stop myself, I called out to her.
"Hey! It's okay, it was my fault. Can I make it up to you by giving you my autograph?" I asked her, with a tilt of my head. I watched as a genuine smile lit up as she turned back around to face me.
"Sure thanks!" she squealed and handed me a slip of paper. Once I was done, I gave her a gentle hug and walked out. I sighed as I slid into the van and closed the door. Four pairs of eyes lingered on me as I unwrapped my burger.
"What?" I asked them with my mouth full of food.
"Dude, did I just see you hug a girl back there?" Zayn questioned, raising his eyebrow at me. I rolled my eyes and huffed.
"It's a long story…" I drifted off, not wanting to explain to the boys about what had happened before. They just chuckled at the expression on my face.
"Well, we've got time! After all, there's still five more hours until our next destination!" Louis pointed out with a smug smile. I slid down lower in my seat, wishing that the ground would somehow swallow me whole. I exhaled and prepared myself for a tortuous trip ahead of me.
And there you go :)
