After sitting there for about 30 minutes I take my phone out. I open twitter and start a new tweet. The tweet says: NiallOfficial Hey Nialler it's Ricki the girl you met at the gas station like 30 minutes ago. I type then hit send. Five minutes later my phone rings telling me I have an interaction on twitter. I look and see it's a tweet from Niall. It says Ricki Yo! Are you at the venue yet?

Me: NiallOfficial yep. Got here a couple of minutes after we left the gas station.

After I send that I get two notifications. One saying Niall followed me and the other saying he DM'ed me.

* DM conversation* Niall bold- Ricki italicized

'Well Paul just told us we won't be coming for another 30 minutes to an hour.'

'That's okay. It's probably for the best. We wouldn't want you boys to get hurt :)'

'The boys said thanks for caring'

Tell them every true fan cares about there safety. Oh and I have a few questions for them if that's okay?'

'Ask away.'

'Zayn, how do you get your hair so perfect? Lou, why are you so sweet? Liam, is it weird being called Daddy Direction? Niall, how can you jump so high? Harry, why are you so adorable?'

'Well the boys think it would be easier for you to call us. (xxx-xxx-xxxx).

I exit twitter and type in the number. I walk into an alley so I can hear them better. "Hello?" Harry answers. "Hey it's Ricki" "Oh okay let me put it on speaker." he says.

Zayn- "Hey"

Niall-"Yo!"

Liam- "Hello"

Lou- "Hi"

Me- "Hey guys."

Harry-"Okay Zayn's gonna answer first."

Zayn- "A lot of time in front of a mirror."

Lou- "Um, I'm not sure..." (Harry interrupts him)

Harry- "He's just naturally sweet."

Me- "Awe total Larry moment"

Harry- "Yeah, Yeah" (chuckles)

Liam- "It was at first but now I'm use to it"

Niall- "CAUSE I'M AWESOME!"

Harry- "I don't know why you said adorable Love. Did you mean Sexy or Smoking hot?"

Me- "Nope. I meant Adorable."

Lou- "It's because he's the baby!"

Harry- "LOU!"

Me- "Yep! That has got to be it."

Lou- "Ha in your face she agrees with me."

"Ricki where are you?" I hear my mom call me. "I'm here!" I yell back. She walks into the alley and asks "What are you doing?" "Talking to the guys" I tell her. "Oh okay tell them I said hi" she says walking away. "My mom says hi" I tell them but all I hear is yelling and arguing.

Liam- "Niall No! you can not eat Harry's Hand!"

Harry- "Aah! Get him off!"

Lou- "hahahaha"

Zayn- "Oi! Guys chill out Ricki is still on the phone"

Niall-"BUT!"

Me- "Guys!"

The guys- "WHAT?"

Me- "Okay what happened?"

Niall and Harry start talking at the same time. I stop them my saying "One at a time. Niall what happened?"

Niall-"He stole my chip!"

Harry- "I'm hungry"

Me- "Harry you should have asked first. Niall Hun you can't eat peoples hands its wrong"

Niall & Harry – "Fine"

Liam- "Wow you handle that really well. It usually takes me 20 minutes."

Me- "Well my cousins use to fight like that and me being the only girl out of seven cousins I was usually the one to break it up"

Zayn- "Where's your cousins now?"

Me- "Lane & Jake are at college in London. Zach is somewhere in Cali. Cody & Caleb are in Florida. Justin is stationed in South Carolina with the Marines, and Nat is deployed to Iraq right now."

Zayn- "Wow how old are they all?"

ME-" Lane & Jake are twins and are 19, Cody & Caleb twins to but are 20, Zach is 24, Justin is 23, and Nat is 26. So yeah I'm the baby cause none of them have had kids yet."

Liam- "Wow I probably would have strangled one of them"

Me- "Yeah. I've thought about it but I love them all. They're like my rock and the only father figures I've had in my life. So Liam, Zayn are ya'll planning on ripping Harry's shirt open again?"

Liam & Zayn- "Not sure probably"

Harry-"That was uncomfortable. You know how hard it was to keep my shirt closed."

Me-"Trust me Love nobody would have complained if you had just taken the shirt off. But it was still cute how you tried to keep it closed it was like you were worried a little kid might see."

Lou-"Awe he's blushing! I think he likes you"

"Ricki come on we have to get to our seats" I hear my mom yell for me.

Me-"Hey I have to get off the phone, text me"

Niall-"Okay bye"

Me-"bye"

I hang up and walk with my mom into the venue. I follow her through the venue to our front row sweats while reading a text from Niall. 'Hey it's Harry not Niall'

Text convo Harry bold Italicize Ricki Italicize

Okay.

We're on our way to the venue.

Okay I'm already in my seat.

We just pulled up I'll text you again when we get back stage.

Okay

I stuff my phone into my front pocket. "So what did the boys say" my mom asks. "Nothing much just chatting" I say shrugging. We hear a bunch of screaming outside and my mom smiles and says "well we know they're here" I smirk and take my phone out and open twitter. I see I have two new mentions. One is from Louisbigredbus it says "Oh My God you got to meet him before the concert?" I reply with " Louisbigredbus Yeah it was awesome he's really sweet." And the other is a mention from Harry. It says
"Just meet this really sweet girl. Hope I get the chance to get to know her more... Ricki" I click on reply and type "Awe thanks Harry. I hope I get to know you better too:)" I exit everything and look up at the stage. *Ding* I look at my phone and see Harry texted me. "Hey we're bout to come out on stage to talk with everybody b4 the show." "Okay." I put my phone into my pocket again. "They're about to come out and talk to everybody" I tell my mom. Before she can reply the boys run out on stage. "Hey everybody!" they all say and everybody screams. "We're gonna hangout with you all for a little while before the show." Liam says into a mic. I see Niall searching the front row. I wave and he spots me, he waves back then pulls Harry to his side and says something to him. Harry looks over at me and waves. I wave back and two girls behind me start flipping. "OMG he waved at me" one of them screams, I just smile. "So we just want to say a quick hello to a friend of ours who's in the audience. She was really sweet to our Nialler here earlier when another girl upset him. Harry can you go get her?" Lou asks Harry. Harry hops off stage and walks over to me. "Nope I'm not getting on stage" I tell him shaking my head. Unfortunately Harry is a lot stronger than me and all but carries me on stage. "Here she is Ladies and gentlemen the lovely Ricki" Liam says. I stick my tongue out at him but smile and wave at the crowd. When they get distracted by some fans I try to slip off the stage. But Zayn notices me and picks me up by my waist. He carries me to a little couch and plops down with me practically in his lap. "Okay we'll be right back" Harry says to the crowd. "Harry you go change we'll keep Ricki on stage till you get back then we'll go change" Zayn says shifting so I'm sitting beside him. "Wait. Am I staying up here the entire concert?" I question them. "Yep isn't it gonna be fun" Lou asks sounding like a kid. "What about my mom?" I ask them. "Oh don't worry she's back stage we had one of the people go get her." Niall says smiling at me. Then Harry runs back stage. "Is this really nessacery?" I ask Zayn. "Yep. If you wouldn't run off stage we would have left you up here by yourself." he says ruffling my hair. "Whatever. I promise when ya'll have to go change in between sets I'll stay on stage." I tell them lightly punching Zayn in the arm. Then Harry comes back on stage and takes Zayn's place beside me. "Hi" I say as the other four boys run back stage to change. "Hi" he says smiling down at me. "So you ready for this?" he asks as the big screen lights up like it does before every show begins. "Not really but I'll deal" I say chuckeling nervously. He puts his arm around my shoulders giving my shoulder a reassuring squeeze. After they finish with the opening slides the other four boys run on stage as the lights come back on. "So we have decided if it's okay with you all to let Ricki stay up here" Harry says looking out from across the crowd. Everybody screams and claps, I smile. Then the music starts and Harry stands up and they start singing Na Na Na. I watch them jump and run around stage. I smile and laugh at them. After three songs they run back stage but not before Harry tells me "Remember don't move" I salute him and laugh. The lights dim and they start another video slide show thing. I realize they're probably singing More Than This next. The boys come back out and gather around the couch/loveseat. I'm sitting in between Liam and Harry. Zayn is sitting on the arm rest beside Liam, Louis is sitting on the arm rest beside Harry, and Niall is standing behind the couch with one leg rested on the back of it. The music starts right before the lights come back on and then they start singing. "oooooo...I'm broken do you hear me? I'm blinded cause you are everything I see. I'm dancing alone. I'm praying that your heart will just turn around and as I walk up to your door my head turns to face the floor cause I can't look you in the eyes and say" Liam sings then Harry takes over. "When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight. It just wont feel right cause I can love you more than this. Eh Yeah. When he lays you down I might just die inside, it just don't feel right. Cause I can love you more than this, can love you more than this." he sings looking out at the crowd. Then Niall starts but I'm still looking at Harry. "If I'm louder would you see me. Would you lay down in my arms and rescue me cause we are the same. You save me and when you leave its gone again." I turn my head to smile up at him. "Then I see you on the street in his arms I get week my body fails I'm on my knees praying." Louis sings and I give him a small thumbs up. My gaze goes back to Harry as they all sing "When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight it just won't feel right cause I can love you more than this. when he lays you down i might just die inside it just dont feel right cause i can love you more than this." Then Zayns solo " I've never had the words to say but now i'm asking you to stay for a little while inside my arms and as you close your eyes tonight i pray that you will see the light thats shinning from the stars above." Then Liam takes over again, then they all finish the song together. I smile at them showing that it was awesome. After about two more songs Liam says "Okay so we first really got to know each other singing songs while sitting around a bonfire. So that's what we're going to do" Then the lights dim and Harry pulls me by my hand back stage. "Okay stay right here while we go change." Harry says then they run off. A lady comes up to me and says "The boys told me to take you out on stage and show you where to sit." She then leds me out and Sits me down beside Josh Devine the boys drummer. "Hey Ricki, I'm Josh it's nice to meet you" he says quietly. "Nice to meet you too Josh." I say politely. "So what did you do to make the boys take a liking to you?" he asks me. I notice the boys about to come back out. "I'll tell you after the concert" I whisper to him. He nods right before the boys run back out. Niall has a guitar and sits down on a little box/ stump type thing across the circle from me then Louis, then Zayn, Josh, Me, Harry, and then finally Liam. Zayn stands back up and starts singing I gotta feeling. Then Niall stands up and sings Stereo Hearts. I sing along to both songs quietly. Then Louis says "Absolutely brilliant. Give it up for Niall everybody." everybody claps and Niall sits back down. "Now what's next?" Louis asks Niall, and Niall shrugs. "Valarie!" everybody screams. The band starts playing and Lou sings Valarie again I sing along. Then comes Torn. After that the lights dim again and Josh pulls me up by my hand. "The guys says you can sit up there beside me for the rest of the concert" he says leading me up to the drum set. Somebody already set up a little stool beside Josh's drum set. "Now it's gonna be really loud so they gave you this so you hear exactly what we hear which is the boys singing." he says handing me two little ear bud things. I put them up and give him a thumbs up and smile. He smiles back and picks up the drum sticks. The rest of the concert actually flies by really fast. Before I know it Josh is pulling me back stage. "That was AWESOME!" I say excitedly. He just laughs at me. "Liam told me to tell you to wait with us for them to come back from meeting fans." they're key player Jon says walking up to us with Dan. Josh introduces us and we all sit down in some chairs and wait for the boys. After about an hour of sitting there talking I feel my eyelids start to shut involuntarily. I lean my head against Josh's shoulder who's sitting beside me. Before I can stop myself I'm asleep.

*two hours later*

I wake up in a bed in a pair of sweats and an oversized t-shirt. I sit up and freak out until I see Liam on the couch across the room. I look around in the dark for my phone, when I find it I look at the time and see that it's 3 in the morning. I quietly stand up and walk out of the room into the main part of the hotel room. I don't notice Paul until he asks "Why are you up so early?" I jump in surprise and turn to him where he's sitting at a little round table. I shrug and say "I'm not sure something woke me up. So why am I in the boys hotel room?" "Your mom was going to rent a hotel room in another hotel but we offered her a room in here and Liam offered his bed for you to sleep in and she said okay. Oh and you're wearing Liam's shirt and Harry's sweats. Don't worry your mom changed you while the boys waited in here." He explains to me looking at his computer screen. "Okay well I'll be right back" I tell him then turn and go back into the bed room where I woke up. I walk over to Liam who's sprawled out on the small couch and shake his shoulder. "Hey Liam come on get in your bed I don't need it" I say and help him stand up since he's still half asleep. I help him walk to his bed and he all but falls onto it. I chuckle under my breath and pull the covers over him. I then walk back out into the main room and see that Paul wasn't there. I shrug and decide to get some fresh air. I find my supras and slip them on and walk out into the hall. I make my way to the elevator and wait for it to come back up to my floor. When the doors open I sigh in relief that nobody is in it. I step in and press the button for the lobby. When the elevator doors open up to the lobby I walk out to the front of the hotel. I sit down on the front steps and look up at the stars surprised that I can see the stars considering it looks like we're in the middle of Dallas. "Hey what are you doing out here?" I hear Harry ask before he sits down beside me. "Just getting some fresh hair." I say glancing at him. I bump his shoulder with mine "And thanks for letting me borrow a pair of sweats. Sorry I feel asleep." I tell him. "No problem and don't worry about it. Josh is a little peeved cause his arm fell asleep before we got back from meeting fans." He says laughing a little bit. I smile and then ask something that I've been wondering. "Why me?" I ask him. "What do you mean?" he asks sounding confused. "Why do you want to get to know me? Why did ya'll let me and my mom stay in ya'lls hotel room?" I ask turning to face him. He stands up and brushes his pants off, then holds his hand out for me to take. "Come on lets go get something sweet and I'll tell you on the way." he says pulling me up off the steps. "How are we supposed to get to a store? In case you haven't noticed you're Harry Styles you can't just walk around and not expect to get mobbed." I tell him smiling. He reaches in his pocket and pulls out some keys. "They always rent us a car everywhere we stop." he tells me leading me by the hand towards a small black car. I get in the passenger seat and wait for him to start the car. He drives towards a walmart. "Are you sure you don't want to go to a smaller store?" I ask him. "Not much else is open" He points out as he pulls into a parking spot. He gets out and shuts the door, sighing I follow him and walk around the car to stand beside him. We get all the way to the door before somebody notices Harry. Unfortunately that somebody just so happened to be a reporter for a magazine. "Harry is this your new girl toy?" he asks Harry. Harry ignores him and pulls me by my hand into the store. The next people to notice who Harry is, is a group of girls about 12 who's with a women. They run over and ground around us. "Harry can we have your autograph?" they ask him. He smile at them and says "Sure." I touch his arm and say "I'll be over there" He nods and I squeeze between the girls and walk over to where the books are. I look through the selves of magazines and stop when I come across one that has a picture of Niall on the front. I pick it up and open it to the page. The headline reads "Should this Irish Lad just give up the rock star idea?" I throw the magazine back down not even daring to read the article. I look over at Harry who's still surrounded by the preteens. I feel a little tug on my sweats and I look down and see a little girl about seven standing beside me. I bend down to her height and say "What is it sweetie." A women behind her who I assume is her mom speaks "I'm sorry she was bound and determined to ask you a question." I smile up at the women and tell her "Its okay don't worry about it." I then look back at the little girl and asks "So you had a question for me?" "Are you Harry's girlfriend?" She asks me pointing towards Harry. I smile and say "No sweetheart we're just friends." "Do you have a crush on him?" she asks me innocently. "Well I'll tell you what if you can keep a secret I'll tell you that." I tell her. She smiles a toothy grin and nods her head. "Yes. I do have a crush on Harry." I whisper to her. She starts giggling and says "Harry's coming. Do you think I could meet him?" I turn my head and see Harry making his way to us. I smile and say "You sure can" When he reaches us I say "Harry I want you to meet.." I trail off and her mom says "Ariel" "I want you to meet Ariel." I finish. He crouches beside me and says "Hi it's nice to meet you ariel. Do you like One Direction?" She nods her head and blushes. "Would you like a picture?" he asks her. She nods again and he picks her up, I step out of the picture as her mom goes to take it. But the little girl stops her mom. "No I want you in the picture to. You're pretty" she says. I smile and step back next to Harry. Her mom snaps the picture then Harry puts the little girl down and signs something from her mom and they leave. "Come on lets go get what we came for." he says taking my hand again. We walk to the candy aisle and he says "Pick what ever you want." I smile and pick up a package of gummy lifesavers. He grabs something and we walk back to the cash register. Luckily the cashier is an older woman and she checks us out and we leave. We walk out the doors and to the car. I pull out my phone and look at the time. "You do know we've been gone for almost two hours." I ask him. "Yeah but nobody's called us so either they don't know or they aren't worried." he says as we walk towards the car. He lets go of my hand and I get in the passenger seat. When we get back to the hotel room we walk in to find Liam wide awake sitting on the couch with Niall. "Where were you two it's almost 5:30 in the morning?" he asks worry lacing his words. "We just went to walmart we didn't plan on taking that long but some kids wanted Harry's autograph and some pictures." I say looking at them. "Sorry if we worried you two. Is anybody else up?" he asks them. I walk over and sit down beside Niall. "No not yet." Liam tells him then turns to me. "Ricki your mom said she had some clothes for you in her room." he tells me motioning towards a closed door. "Okay I'll go change" I tell the three boys then walk into the room and see my mom still sleeping on the bed. I quietly search through a bag till I find the clothes. It's a black t-shirt that says YEAH BUDDY, a pair of blue jean shorts and my favorite pair of white converse. I change and walk back out with the boys clothes in my hands and hand them to Harry. "Here's ya'lls clothes." I tell him and sit back down beside Niall. "So what are you guys doing today?" I ask Liam and Niall as Harry goes to change. "I'm not sure I thought maybe we could hang out with you and get to know you better." Liam says shrugging. "That's fine with me. I would actually love to hang out with you guys." I tell them smiling. "Guys we have a bit of a problem" Zayn says all of the sudden appearing beside Liam. "Where the hell did you come from?" I ask him surprised. "Well you see my mom met my dad, then they got married..." he starts but I stop him. "STOP! That is not what I meant. Please carry on with what the problem is." I all but yell covering my ears. "Well look what somebody just tweeted me asking if it was real." he says showing us his laptop. On it is a picture of me and Harry at walmart holding hands. "They want to know if Harry has a new girl" he continues. I get on my twitter and see my mentions are completely flooded. I scroll through them and read some. Most of them are basically "I hate you" and various other words I'm not going to write. But there was an occasional Congrats and/or I'm happy for you two. "Um Ricki. What are you looking at?" Niall asks me looking over my shoulder. I quickly exit my twitter and hide my phone. "Nothing" I say quickly. "Seriously what were you looking at?" Niall asks again in a stern tone. "My twitter mentions" I sigh looking down at my phone. "What did people say?" Zayn asks me. "Nothing important" I say trying to hide my phone from them. Harry snatches it out of my hand and opens my twitter. "Seriously Harry it's nothing." I say trying to get my phone back. Niall all but sits on me to keep me from getting my phone. "Harry come on it's just words. Um, Ni you're kind of squishing me." I say pushing his side. "Sorry" he apologizes scooting off of me. I lover over at Zayn who's been pretty quit, He's staring at Niall. I cough and he looks at me. "Drool much" I mouth to him, he blushes which makes me laugh silently. "I'll have to talk to him in a minute about that." I think to my self. After reading for a couple of minutes Harry looks up and says "I'm sorry Ricki." "Hey it's okay it's just people being stupid." I tell him reaching over Niall to pat him on the shoulder. "Besides Harry if I was afraid of getting hate I wouldn't have went anywhere with you." I assure him. "But..." I cut him off before he can apologize again. "I'm serious Harry it's fine. Besides it's better they think I'm dating you. I really don't feel like facing a pissed off Eleanor or Danielle because they think I'm dating their boyfriends." I say which makes all four of them laugh. Well Zayn chuckled, he was to busy watching Niall laugh. "But management is going to be up our asses about this." Harry says to Liam. "Well why you boys talk about that. I need to have a little chat with Mr. Malik over here" I say standing up and dragging Zayn to the bedroom. I see Lou is sprawled out on the bed but awake. "Lou I really hate to do this but you have to go" I say pulling him up off the bed and pushing him out the door. "Sorry love" I say right before I close and lock the door. "Spill" I say turning towards Zayn who sat down on the bed. "About what?" he asks pretending to be confused. "Zayn really? I saw how you were looking at Niall. So spill it. How long have you liked him?" I put my hand on my hip and wait for an answer. Sighing he confesses "Since about a month after we were put together as a group on the X factor." I barely hold back my squeal, I tackle him in a hug. "Awe that's so cute. Ziall is so real" I gush squeezeing him in a bear hug. "Yeah for me" he says sadly but hugs me back. I lean away and smile "You know if you want I could talk to him about it. I could use one of those hypthetical things where I say I have a friend who likes this guy, and see what he says." I tell him excitedly. "Sure Ricki but please don't tell him." he says looking at me with pleading eyes. "Of course not sweet heart. And since you told me one of your biggest secret I'll tell you one of mine." I say, he nods telling me to go on. "I really like Harry." I say looking down at my lap. "Awe well to tell you the truth I think he likes you to." he tells me patting my hand. "Really?" I ask hating how hopeful my voice sounds. "Sweetie the press may make Harry out to be a player, but he's not. He's actual really sweet and your very lucky if he chooses to get close to you." he says smiling at me. "Thanks Zayn, and I'll talk to Niall the next chance I get." I say hugging him. "Thank you" he whispers. When we pull away I stand up and pull him up "Now let's get out there. We have to hunks to impress." I say striking a pose trying to make him laugh. I succed and he laughs at me. I grab his hand and pull him back out into the front room where the four boys were at and see my mom sitting with them. "So have you boys decided what we're doing today?" I ask plopping down on the couch beside Harry and putting my feet in his lap. "Well right now I'm going to change. Since I was so rudely drug out of my room." Louis says but smiles at me to show me he's kidding. "Any time Boo. Just give me a call and I'll be there dragging your ass back into the real world." I say winking at him. "You don't mind that she cusses?" Liam asks my mom shocked. "No unless it's at me,her grandmother, or another adult we respect. Which she isn't stupid enough to do because she knows she'll be picking her ass up off the floor if she does." my mom explains. "Yep. Won't make that mistake twice." I say absentmindedly playing with the tips of Harry's curls. When I realize what I'm doing I jerk my hand back. "I'm sorry" I say blushing. "It's okay I'm use to it the guys are always messing with my hair." He says shrugging. "Anyways back to what we're doing today." I say looking at the four boys. "There's a go cart thing a couple of blocks away. We could go do that." Niall suggests. "I vote for that because go carts are my thing." I say excitedly. "Okay let me go wake Paul up and we'll get something to eat then go there." Liam says standing and walking towards what I assume is Paul's room. I take my phone away from Harry who still had it and get on my twitter and search Harry Styles and mystery girl. Surprisingly like 1,000 tweets come up, and almost every one of them is that picture of me and Harry holding hands. I scroll through and see that most of them are hate but stop when I come to one that sticks out. It says [ Why don't ya'll just leave them alone. Can't you see the smile on Hazza's face obviously she makes him happy. So therefore we should be happy, and I personally ship these two they're the cutest couple.] and it has the picture of me and Harry but it was edited so it says Harry + Mystery girl. "Zayn have you seen this tweet." I ask him tossing my phone to him. He reads it the looks at the picture. "Awe that's so sweet even though you two aren't dating. Wow Ricki your mentions are blowing up. How do they know it's you and then some people don't have any clue who it is?" he asks tossing my phone back. "Because some of them put two and two together. Harry tweeted earlier saying he just meet a really sweet girl and hoped to get to know her better and tagged me in it. I mean come on not everybody is too stupid to realize I'm the girl." I say in a duh tone. "What's going on who's dating?" Paul asks coming out of his room. I look around and just now realize Liam has been back for about five minutes. Zayn pulls up the picture and explains to Paul what's going on. "Oh well it happens and besides give it two weeks and I bet they'll be together" he whispers to Zayn and Liam but I hear everything he said. "Well let's go." Paul says pulling out his cell phone. I look at the time and see that its already almost lunch. "Louis hurry up or we're leaving you!" Liam yells to Louis who's still in the bed room. "I'm coming chill your nuts." he says walking out the bedroom. "Mom are you coming?" I ask her. "No sweetheart I think I'll just go shopping around Dallas until ya'll are done." she tells me before she leaves the room. Five minutes later Paul herds us out the room into the hall where there's like three body guards waiting for us. We walk down the hall to the elevator and go to the lobby. When the elevator doors open you can clearly see the mass crowd of girls standing in front of the hotel. "Well this ought to be fun." I say sarcasm dripping from every word. "Don't worry about it." Harry says gripping my hand. Niall takes Zayns, Liam grabs Zayn's other hand and Louis is holding Harry's other hand. "So we don't lose one of you." Paul explains right before we walk out into the river of screaming girls...
