Liz's POV:
The boys were getting their hair done, I was standing in the doorway being a creeper like I always am. Niall looked back and laughed at me. I was wearing my black V-Neck T-Shirt that had 'Security' on the back written in white. It was 'Sexy' according to Harry.
"We're on in 10 minutes." I heard through my ear-piece.
"Hey, guys." I called to the hair team, they were finishing with gelling Louis hair. It smelled like AXE and I sneezed. Niall's head whipped around towards me.
"Bless you." He whispered.
"Thanks." I muttered, "You're on in 10 minutes. Let's go." I held my arm out towards to hallway that lead to the stage.
I handed them their mics, Louis had purple on the bottom, Zayn had a blue one, Harry had a red one, Liam's was yellow, and Niall with is signature Irish colors. He winked at me when I handed it to him.
"Good luck." I whispered as I let go of the microphone.
"Thanks." He replied.
As they traveled down the hall, onto the stage. Management gave them all the head sets they had to wear. Niall asked me to help him and I did. After than he ran out on stage and I went to my post at the bottom of the stage.
Niall's POV:
She watched in the doorway while me and the boys had out hair 'amplified' by our stylist. She didn't speak, she just watched. I looked at her and grinned, she laughed and grabbed our microphones. She handed mine last, as I reached for it the familiar smell of her perfume made its way into my nose.
I touched her hand as she held onto the microphone. I wanted to tell her she could let go, but I didn't want her to. 'hold her hand, idiot.' I thought to myself as she let go of the mic. "Can you help me with my headset?" I asked handing her the ear piece, she took it and walked behind me. As she positioned the headset under my shirt, her cold hands chilled my entire body with one touch.
"Time to go!" Paul said rushing her.
"Okay, you're all set." She lowered my shirt and I walked out on stage, the warm lights and screaming girls were a nice welcome into a new city. The beat for 'What Makes You Beautiful' started to play, I got my smile on, trying to forget about Liz for a minute... Like that could happen.
Liz's POV:
I was jsut standing there, listening to the boys sing their hearts out, when it happened. Three girls had jumped the barrier, heading my way. I prepared myself as I heard two other guards run after them. The stopped when they saw me.
They looked at me, then to Paul who was standing behind me. They looked at Niall who was staring down at me, knowing exactly what was going to happen.
"Girls, get on the other side... Now." I warned, taking a step towards them.
They didn't listen to me. One jumped on the stage and made a bee-line for Liam. He wasn't my problem and anyway the stage guards were already on it. I was focused on the girl targeting Niall. I saw her take her leap and I pounced, "No you don't, bitch." I said knocking her to the ground. "I said get on the other side!" I picked her up by the collar of her shirt and handed her over to Paul.
"Nice work." He congratulated me on my efforts.
I looked up to see Niall peering down at me through the spot-lights. 'Are you okay?' He mouthed at me. I nodded. It was nice to know he was worried about me.
Niall's POV:
'Oh shit.' Was all I could think before those girls hopped the railing. Liz was quick on her feet and stopped the girls in their tracks. Moving so that they couldn't get around her was brilliant.
One jumped on stage and I moved just in time before she trampled me in order to get to Zayn. One glared at me. I could tell that this bothered Liz from how she reacted when she tried to push her way onto the stage. Tackling her like that was a good idea.
As she handed her over to Paul I noticed that she was bleeding on her arm from where the other girl had scratched her. I asked if she was okay and she nodded.
I tried to act unaffected by the whole thing, but it was no use. I was furious, and I really didn't feel like singing anymore that night. I did though, carrying on that concert was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
After 'I Want' Liz was moved and I didn't see her again for the rest of the night.
