Rae's POV

Let me just say, I'm glad I went to the concert. It's totally amazing!

Yes, I'm still peeved at those stupid boys for being so rude to that girl, but man, they are really good at performing. And, I absolutely love the Take Me Home album, so how better could this get?

Wait. What's going on? Why are they playing What Makes You Beautiful? That's on Up All Night, they shouldn't be playing this.

"Wait, wait, wait. Just a second. We'd like to say something."

Oh my god. What are they doing?

Harry spoke up. "Backstage today, the boys and I," Liam interjected. "Not me."

Harry sighed. "Okay, not Liam."

Oh. My. Goodness.

"Anyway. We were extremely rude to a girl back there, and we'd all like to apologize for that."

Did they just do that? Seriously? They all seemed sincere too. Maybe Liam was right, and they really are nice guys.

Now Niall spoke up. "We'd also like to thank someone who helped open our eyes, since Liam was unsuccessful. Rae Larson, would you please come up here?"

Who?

Rae Larson. Rae Larson. Oh no, I'm Rae Larson.

Why do they want me? I couldn't move, I'm not even sure I was breathing.

Suddenly, a light surrounded me, signaling me out to everyone. I could see all five members of One Direction looking down on me.

What else could I do? I made my way to the stage, and up up up the stairs I went.

I was pushed along the boys, unable to see due to the lights. Oh my god, what are they doing to me? Is this punishment for yelling at them? If so, I'm so sorry. I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!

I guess they could see the panic on my face, because finally they spoke up again. Louis took the floor. "Rae Larson, we wanted you to come up here, and let you know that we really aren't as bad as we may seem."

Zayn continued on. "We're so sorry that we made you lose confidence in us. We know that we were acting terrible."

Then Harry, "We are so sorry. We hope you can forgive us."

Forgive them? What? Oh my god, what do I do? I looked around, bewildered, and my eyes rested on Liam. He gave me an encouraging nod and for a second, I almost caved in. Almost. But, then I remembered the tears running down that poor girl's face, all because these boys wanted a laugh.

And I knew. I knew I didn't forgive them. I knew I couldn't say I did. Maybe I could...eventually. But right now, I just don't know.

I spoke lowly, so they could hear, but the microphones wouldn't pick anything up. "Um. I don't know guys. I'll have to think about it."

Immediately their faces deflated, losing every ounce of hope that was once there. I almost regretted not immediately forgiving them, but I knew I didn't.

I guess they all realized they were still in a concert because they all started nervously looking out into the crowd.

"Oh."

"Um."

"Erh."

"Okay."

Liam walked over to me, whispering in my ear. "Serves them right, you know."

I started cracking up, and the other boys gave us weird looks. Liam just chuckled, shaking his head at them.

I know the other boys were nervous when they realized they were still at the concert, but that's nothing compared to when I, ME, RAE LARSON, realized I was still on the stage. I am on the stage with freaking One Direction! Ahh! No one is ever going to believe this.

Liam spoke up again addressing the crowd, "We'd like to dedicate this next song to our new friend Rae! You guys may have heard it before..." What Makes You Beautiful started playing throughout the theater. Girls screamed their heads off, dancing like crazy.

The boys started to sing, and oh my god, they are so amazing. Wait. They dedicated this to me?!

And by they, I totally know it was just Liam. And I KNOW he only said they all did because he can't exactly explain to the thousands of girls out there that I'm not exactly happy with the other 4/5 of One Direction at the moment.

Throughout the song, Liam didn't leave my side, however, he never once looked at me. I caught the other 4 boys continuously casting me glances. I knew they were waiting for some sort of sign that I was okay with them now. I'm not giving in. I refused to look at any of them, even though, on the inside, I was totally freaking out.

When the song was over, the boys headed backstage, leaving the screaming girls behind them. I didn't know what to do, or where to go, but Liam dragged me along with them. Oh my goodness, what is going on? Is now the part where I die?

Liam saw the look on my face and said, "We're just going to our dressing room. We all wanted to talk to you, if that's okay."

"We all?"

Liam leaned in, saying just between us, "You realize they're not going to give up until you forgive them right?

"Oh, right."

"Look, they really aren't that bad."

"Liam, I saw them today."

"I know. But before you decide, just give them a chance. They don't mean any of it, and they know they were being stupid."

"Stupid doesn't even begin to cover it."

"Rae, I'm not asking you to suddenly worship the ground they walk on, I'm just saying, give them a chance."

And with that, we walked into the dressing room, with 4/5 of One Direction looking down at me.

Okay, okay. Rae, give them a chance. Maybe they are better than they seem.

Or not.

Who knows.

They do.

Oh, shut up.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEEEWWW! =] THANKS!
