Haven't written in this story in forever, but here ya go! I kinda like it, let me know what you think! =]

Rae's POV

I just stood there, with my arms crossed, waiting for them to speak. I didn't really want to listen to their excuses, I really didn't. They were mean to a girl, someone actually stood up to them, they felt bad, and now I'm here. They just felt guilty.

I was really only here for Liam. He seemed nice, and was the only one not making fun of the girl. If he told me to listen for just a few minutes, I could do that.

But, I don't take crap.

I suppose they could tell I wasn't going to say anything, because they all looked to each other, and then in unison said, "We're so sorry."

I sighed, uncrossing my arms. I took a deep breath, trying to figure out how to word this. They all looked at me warily, even Liam. "Look. Um. Okay. It was really nice of you guys to apologize and everything, but...you should have never had to. You guys have everything, and you couldn't appreciate the fact that you have fans that love you guys."

Louis cut in, "We know that."

"No, Louis. You don't know. That girl that you were so rude to, well maybe, just maybe, your music was her inspiration. Maybe thats what got her through every day. You guys could have been her idols, the thing that kept her sane. And maybe, just maybe, now she has nothing."

They were all looking down, except Liam. Liam was glaring at them. I felt a little better that I had caused 4/5 of One Direction to feel bad, which is kind of sick if you think about it, but it was nice.

"I'm sorry guys, but its true."

They all just nodded, and I was just about to turn around and leave when I heard Harry speak up. "Rae, you're right. What we were doing was terrible, and we really are sorry."

I just stared at him, looking at him in the eyes, ignoring all of the fangirl thoughts in my head. Eventually I looked away, looking at the rest of them, and eventually Liam. He just gave me a small smile. "Yeah, I know you are."

They all looked up at me, hopeful expressions on their faces. "Does that mean you forgive us?" Zayn asked.

I knew what they wanted to hear, but there was still a part of me that didn't quite forgive them. However, I knew they wouldn't drop it until I said I did. "Considering I should probably be going, and I won't be seeing you guys again, and I'm not one to hold a grudge, I'mm gonna say yes."

They all smiled, and before I knew it, I was enveloped in a group hug. No Rae...don't do it. DO. NOT. FANGIRL.

I just laughed, accepting it. They eventually let go of me, and I immediately looked to Liam. "Hey Liam, could you show me the way out?"

"You're leaving?" I turned to Niall, who had just asked the question.

"Uh yeah. My mom is waiting for me. Liam?"

Liam stood up. "Of course."

I turned to the other boys. "I can't believe I just met One Direction."

They all laughed at me, and I shook me head, a blush coming on my cheeks. Time to go. "Anyway, uh, bye guys. Good luck with your tour."

I turned towards the door, they all waved saying, "Bye Rae!"

I let Liam lead me away from their dressing room, towards the main part of the arena. Everything that just happened came flooding into my mind, and I suddenly stopped, making Liam turn to look at me.

"You okay?"

"I just yelled at One Direction!"

Liam chuckled and nodded. "Yes you did, love. And might I say, it was pretty awesome."

I laughed up at him. "You only think that because I wasn't mad at you!"

"Psh. Maybe."

We got to the main area and Liam showed me the way to go to get out. Before I left I turned to him, giving him a hug. "Thanks Liam."

He hugged me back. "Of course, Rae. I really do mean it when I say that you were awesome, standing up to the boys like that. I've never seen them look so ashamed."

"Well..they need to hear it."

"Yes they did. Hey, how about you give me your twitter and cell number, so I can tell you whenever they need yelling at some more?"

I laughed again. While with the other boys, I had to try really hard not to fangirl, but it was so easy with Liam. I felt like I had been best friends with him for years. Nothing more, nothing less, just best friends.

I gave him my number, and he put his in my phone. He also followed me on twitter. I decided it was time to part ways, a little sad that I would never seen him again. I mean, you don't just run into One Direction every day.

"Goodbye Liam." He pulled me into another hug.

"Is it weird that I already feel like we're best friends?"

I looked him in the eyes, surprised he was thinking of the same thing I was. "Not at all, I feel the same way." He smiled. "I really should go though, my mom is probably freaking out. Bye, Liam."

"Goodbye Rae."

I walked out of the arena, happier than I have been in a while. I found my mom easily, considering she was just outside the main doors.

"Rae! Where have you been?!"

I almost began to tell her about meeting One Direction, yelling at them, going on stage. But, I decided against it. It would be my secret.

"Oh, I forgot my phone in the arena, so I had to wait for everyone to get out so I could get back in and get it, and luckily it was still there."

"You should be more careful."

I rolled my eyes at her. "I know mom."

When we finally got to the car, she finally asked, "So, how was the concert."

I thought back to going on stage, meeting the boys, hugging Liam, our group hug, forgiving One Direction, giving Liam my number, the look in the boys eyes when I said I forgave them. All I told my mom was, "It was amazing."

I had a smile on my face the entire way home.
