once in a lifetime *
This is to the people who read
my story, (if there's any even
left.) Hello, you probably hate me. Yeah I know I
haven't updated like the whole entire summer. And my school
starts in about a week, and I'm really going to try this
year. Which means that I probably won't have time to update
and write as more often as I want to. I really hope you guys
understand because I honestly love all of you! I do have a
personal account (I know I
didn't want to give out my identity) but if you want
to know what it is you can just ask and I'll give it to you.
Also I have a tumblr too, just ask for that as well. I might come
back, maybe not. And if I do, it doesn't mean that you have
to stay followed to me or anything! Thanks for everything, you
guys are beautiful.
Goodbye. c':

"Don't, please." I
cried. Penny smirked and was obviously amused by my misery.
"I'll do anything. Anything!"
"Tell Niall." She said. I already knew this is what she
wanted me to do, but I couldn't. I didn't want to hurt
him. It was too soon.
"Please, no, anything but that." I stuttered and I was
starting to shake. I was genuinly scared of this girl. She had my
darkest secret hidden on her phone. If only I could get her
phone somehow, and delete it. Oh my god, it was like the
lightbulb in my head just lit up. I stood and brought Penny back
to her place in line, a few girls started to complain, but then
they saw that I was Niall's girlfriend. "What are you
doing?" Penny said.
"Um, can I just have some time to tell Niall? I need to be
'ready'." I asked. She hesitated for a moment and
nodded. "I'll give you until 4 PM tomorrow. Which is
about 23 hours." Ah crap. I don't think that will be
enough time...But I didn't want to tick her off so I nodded
back, and walked away. As soon as I was out of sight of Penny, I
ran back into the boys dressing room, expecting to see
just Louis and Harry. To my luck, all of the boys were
in there and gave me a "what-the-f*ck" look. Harry and
Louis' mouths dropped open and they started snickering to
themselves. I had obviously looked all sweaty and ran in here for
"no apparent reason."
"Uh, hey babe." Niall stood up and came to kiss me. I
pecked his cheek lightly. I'm not really a PDA kind of
person...especially with Harry in the room.
"So what brings you here, love?" Zayn asked from a
chair next to the clothes rack. I glanced at Louis and Harry on
the couch and they shrugged.
"Uh, well, I was about to go home, and uh, they're some
girls outside in the front, and they wanted me to get you. But, I
didn't know if I could, so I had to ask. So here I am."
I smiled sheepishly. Louis jumped up excitedly.
"I think it's a great idea!" He burst. Everybody
looked at him confused, but then started to nod.
"Let me check if it's okay with security and
stuff." Liam said and started to leave.
"I'll come with you, man." And Zayn joined him to
leave. Oh, now it's extremely awkward.
"Uh, well I'm gonna take a quick shower." Niall
said. He kissed me before he left through the back door leading
to the bathroom. Louis, Harry and I, didn't talk until we
heard the water run.
"Come on, we can't talk here. " I said and they
followed me into one of the other empty dressing rooms. I locked
the door and sat on the couch.
"Alright, I have a plan. It's pretty James Bond, but I
think we can do it." The two English boys looked at each
other and smiled. "Go ahead, what's the plan?"
Louis asked.
"Um, Penny and I talked and it didn't really go well.
She ended up taking a picture of us kissing and she said she is
going to exploid it to the world if I don't tell Niall. I
convinced her to give us until 4 PM tomorrow so we need to work
fast. If we can somehow get her phone and delete the picture,
then she can't show anyone! I know it sounds crazy but
we're that's the only way we can do it." They both
stared blankly at me for a second and I knew they were going to
think I was insane.
"It might just work, but how are we going to get her
phone?" Harry said.
"Well, she's in line right? At the entrance?"
Louis asked and I nodded. "Okay so we will sneak her phone
out of her pocket when we do the meet and greet!"
"I don't know, I feel like if we get caught, we'd
just be getting ourselves in for more trouble."
"Hazza, why don't you live a little!?" Louis
flailed. Harry sighed and smiled. "Okay, okay." He
said.
"Let's do this."
meep, i know it's been a
while,
please don't hate me!

sixteen~
"Don't worry! I'll think
of something!" Harry tried calming me down. Louis was still
rubbing my back, which wasn't helping but I knew he meant
well. I had stopped crying now and I was beyong confused. First
off, how did this girl even know Harry and I kissed? And how did
she know that Niall didn't know? I was frustrated now, and I
stood up.
"Look, boys, we need answers. So I'm gonna go find
some!" I explained and they nodded. I left them alone in the
janitor's closet and started walking towards where the fans
were waiting for the concert later on. It wasn't hard to find
the mysterious girl, she was the first one in line. When she saw
me walking towards her she noticed and crossed her
arms.
"We need to talk, freak." I spat.
"My name happens to be Penny." She said.
"What do you need?"
"Not here." I said looking at some of the other girls
staring at us.
"Oh, actually, we are staying here. I am the first
in line, I'm not losing this spot!" She
exclaimed.
"If you let me talk to you in private, I will let you meet
the boys." Her eyes widened and I knew I had hit a soft
spot. Penny hesitated at first, but then she mumbled a
"Fine." and walked with me. I led her to the nearest
conference room in the arena. I sat down across from her.
"Look," I sighed,"I just need some answers. How
did you know Harry and I kissed?"
"Oh Macy, Macy, Macy. You want the real story?" I
nodded and she continued. "Well, when you and Harry were
having your little love fest, I was searching the
hallways - I happened to sneak past security - and I saw that the
door lead to One Direction's dressing room. And of course,
being the Number 1 stalker that I am, I opened the door slightly
to see if anybody was inside." I blinked. That was all it
took for this girl that I barely knew, to find out my biggest
secret that could change everything. "Wait, so how
are you going to 'tell the whole world about it'?" I
asked Penny. She smiled again and took her phone out of her
pocket. "Look." She took a picture of Harry and I
kissing. I was utterly shocked. "Did you show..." I
started.
"No, I didn't. Not yet,
anyways."

fifteen~
I started to sweat and looked
nervously around. "Who me?" I asked, trying to stall.
The mysterious girl rolled her eyes and nodded. She pulled me
aside and out of sight from the boys on stage.
"I know you, Macy."
"Uh...What?" I was seriously creeped out now. "I
know exactly who you are." She started again. "You are
just a huge fan of One Direction who got a once in a lifetime
chance. You aren't anybody special.
Niall deserves to be with someone that will stay with
him through anything. Someone that isn't you."
"What are you talking about?!" I began to become really
aggravated. This girl doesn't know me at all.
"I know you kissed Harry, honey. And I'm going to tell
the whole world. Soon. Just wait." She flashed another evil
smile and walked away. I grabbed her arm tightly. "What do
you want? I'll do anything if you don't tell." I
sighed. Her eyes twinkled and she all she said was, "Tell
Niall." And she walked away swiftly. My heart sunk when she
spoke the words. I couldn't do it. I just couldn't!
~~~~
After the soundcheck was over I grabbed Harry and Louis without
the other boys noticing. I crammed them into the same
janitor's closet Louis had brought me in earlier. "Well,
looks like you've been teaching her your ways." Harry
said to Louis. I ignored it and got straight to the point.
"Look, boys, somebody besides us, knows I kissed
Harry." Both of their eyes bulged and Harry's face went
so pale. "It wasn't Ni-Niall was it?" He asked.
"No. It was one of the girls from the sound check. She said
she would tell everyone if I didn't tell Niall that we
kissed." I started to cry. Louis gently rubbed my back while
Harry tried to think of a plan.
What the hell was I going to do?
it's short; sorry :P

fourteen~
Well 4:00 finally came and I was on
my way to the venue. My stomach was churning with knots. I really
didn't know what to expect. Why would Harry tell Louis about
our kiss? I know they are close, but still. And let's hope
Louis the only one who knows about it! I walked through the back
door and Louis was standing right there, his arms folded. He
looked utterly disappointed in me. Without saying a word, he
grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the nearest janitor's
closet. Oh god, here we go. And just like that he exploded into
yelling. "You know how fragile Niall's heart is! Why
would you even do that to him?! Harry and Niall are friends!
They're both my friends! Do you know what would happen if
managment found out!? Not to mention if Niall did!" He
bursted. I was already crying now, I couldn't help it. I was
so guilty and Louis was just making things worse. I covered my
face with my hands and sat down on the cold tile. Louis sat down
next to me and put his strong arm around my shoulders. He handed
me a tissue and apoligized for shouting. I didn't blame him
though, I would have done the same thing. I am such a screw
up.
"So what should I do?" I asked him. He sighed.
"Well, I think you should be honest with Niall." I
couldn't do that. Niall would never ever be the same.
"Okay don't do that." He continued. "I
wouldn't stand to see Niall like that, it would be
terrible." We heard the boys coming down the hallway looking
for Louis. "Oh sh*t! I'll be right back, love." He
stood up and opened the door. The boys greeted him and I could
hear them getting farther away. My phone vibrated in my
pocket.
Louis: The coast is
clear, go to the dressing room and get ready. Then come to the
soundcheck. Talk to NO ONE! xx
So, I did as he commanded and made my way to the dressing room. I
knocked lightly and heard the cheery styalist's voice.
"Come on in, babe!" I walked in and the familiar rack
of clothing was behind her. "What can I help you with?"
She flashed her perfect smile. "Uh, I need an outfit for
their soundcheck." I replied. She said nothing else and
turned to the rack of clothes. "I'm so used to doing the
boys' clothes, it's good to do a girl once in a
while!" We both laughed and she handed me my outfit. It was
a blue floral dress with a brown belt and some cute flats to
match.
"Sorry but I am just in love with this beanie on you!"
She gushed and handed me the white beanie from the first
soundcheck I went to. I threw on the outfit and admired myself in
the mirror. It was the first time I felt beautiful in a long
time. I made my way to the stage, and entered. The boys were
already in the middle of More Than This when I took my seat in
the front row. I couldn't help but feel a pinch of guilt
looking at Niall, then to Harry. Louis kept eyeing me, making
sure I wouldn't do anything stupid. I stuck my tongue out and
he smiled while he sung. I was enjoying the sound check very
much, the boys were amazing! I was smiling and laughing from my
seat. When one of the other fans came up to me and sat down in
the seat next to mine.
"I know what you did." She warned.
I keep changing the color for the title,
I can't decide on one!

~chapter
thirteen~
I scurried out of the room before
Harry and I could say anything else to each other. I quickly
closed the door behind me and ran to the nearest bathroom.
Everything just happened so fast, I needed a second to take it
in. I am dating Niall Horan, but I just kissed one of his best
friends behind his back. What. I sat down on the bathroom floor
and brought my knees up to my chin. I softly cried so nobody
could hear me. Just then, I heard Harry's voice outside the
door. "Macy, we need to talk. Can I come in?" He said.
I ignored him. He walked in anyways and locked the door. Harry
sat down next to me and patted my back softly. "What have I
done?" I said aloud. The worst feeling was that I think I
was actually starting to like him back.
~~~
"You're a liar Macy. A filthy, rotten liar!" I
heard a male's voice coming from behind me. It sounded like
Niall's. I turned around to see him distressed. His hair was
ruffled, but not in the normaly cute way. His shirt was untucked
and wrinkley and had a slight ketchup stain. He had tear marks on
his cheeks, too. "I hate you Macy. You don't deserve
Harry! He was my friend!!" He yelled at me. I couldn't
say anything but the knot in my stomach was getting worse. I
managed to say "How did you find out?" He just
rolled his eyes and scoffed at my apparently stupid question. He
leaned in like he was going to kiss me, and slapped my cheek
instead. It started to burn instantly and I fell to the ground,
everything around me turning black....
I woke up with a start. My face was smudged with tears and sweat.
Oh thank god it was just a dream. I rubbed my cheek
where Niall had slapped me in the dream and it actually did hurt.
I sat up and looked at the mirror next to my bed. It wasn't
red.
The dream had been so realistic and frightning that I
couldn't get it out of my head. I just kept replaying
Niall's voice; "You're a liar Macy. A filthy,
rotten liar!" I texted Niall and told him to come over
so I wouldn't feel so guilty for kissing Harry. I sighed
deeply just thinking about it. I thought long and hard about
whether I should tell Niall or not. I couldn't though. They
were best friends, and if I broke that relationship, they
can't avoid each other forever. I mean they're in the
same band.
When Niall came over we sat on my couch and watched Finding Nemo.
We both absolutely loved this movie, but I kept getting
distracted thinking about Harry. Again. I really needed to stop
thinking about him and that kiss. It was just a kiss, right? Lots
of friends kiss each other. It doesn't mean anything. Even
though he probably thought it did, ugh he probably loves me even
mo-
"You okay?" Niall asked, shaking me back into reality.
"Yeah I just need some water, you want some?" I asked.
He nodded his head and I got up from the couch and headed to the
kitchen. I was getting two glasses from the cabinet and I heard
my phone vibrate from a text.
Louis: i know what you
did...and i don't like it!! meet me @ 4 at the venue. ALONE.
x
Oh great, I was in
some serious trouble.
Merrr this one sucked.
I'm tired okay?!
tell me if you guys wanna see Macy's outfits.
I could send you a link or something :)

twelve~
My heart was beating faster as the
awkward silence grew longer. I blinked several times to make sure
this wasn't a terrible dream or something. Harry's mouth
was slightly opened and Niall's eyes bulged out of his head.
I looked down, embarrassed. "How..uh, what?" Harry
stammered.
"Harry, I know you're falling for me. I heard you say
so." My voice was way more confident than I felt. Then
Niall joined in, and I got myself ready for the break up.
"Macy, we can work this out. Really we
can. But if you hang out with the
guys as much as you hang out with me, it might be a little tough
for Harry." Harry nodded, still not looking at me. I watched
him carefully. His hands were gripped into a tight fist and he
seemed tense. "Wait, so you aren't going to break up
with me?" I blurted out again. Ugh why can't I keep my
mouth shut! Niall was surprised by my question and said, "Of
course not babe!" I sighed a breath of relief and looked at
Harry again, who was already in the car. "Alright, babe, I
have to go. See you later" Niall said and gave me another
kiss on the cheek. Before he started to walk away I stopped him.
"Niall, are you mad?" He looked confused so I
continued. "About me knowing about Harry? I overheard you
guys talking in the bathroom and I just..." I trailed off.
He ran up to me and hugged me. Muttering something into my
shoulder and shaking his head. "Why would I be mad? I mean
it was easier for you to find out. Uh, what else did you hear in
the bathroom?" I looked down. "Everything." I
mumbled. He grunted and ran his fingers through his ruffled hair.
"Look, Macy, I didn't mean to yell at him. We're
friends. We fight sometimes. I just want to tell you that
everything is better now. Okay?" He lifted up my chin so I
was looking him in his eyes. Gosh, I could drown in them. They
were gorgeous. We finally said goodbye and they were
gone.
~~~~~
I asked my mom to drive me to the venue where the boys were
playing tonight. I looked for Paul and he led me to their
dressing room. Even though I wasn't supposed to see the boys
again, Niall approved of one last sound check. I walked in,
expecting to see them all, but it was only Harry. Oh great. He
was sitting on the couch, hunched over with his hands around his
neck. He looked up at me and looked back down. I swear I saw a
smile, but it quickly went back to the familiar depressing face.
"Uh, hey." I said, awkwardly. "Hi." He
replied.
"Do you know where Niall is? I thought he would be-" I
started. "How did you know?" Harry asked. I was
startled by his question. "I heard you guys in the bathroom
at the restaurant." I answered smoothly. He actually looked
at me for the first time in a while.
"Okay I know you're avoiding me, because it's the
best for you, but you're my friend and I don't want to be
neglected!" I stammered. He just shook his head so I walked
to the couch and sat down beside him. I put my hand on his back.
Friends do that right? We were just friends. He looked
me in the eyes. Wow, his eyes were just as amazing as Niall's
were. They were green but with a hint of blue. It was when he
blinked that I realized how close we were. I could actually feel
his breath on me. I leaned in and our lips crashed together. His
were hot and rough and I loved it. A flurry of guilt washed over
me and I pulled away and stood up. My cheeks were hot with
embarrassement. We stared at each other, shocked at what just
happened.
"Nobody will know about this." Harry whispered
and I nodded in agreement.
Ouuu getting frisky!

love you alllll~!

eleven~
After dinner I was dropped off at
home, but this time I avoided the kiss on the porch from Niall. I
felt bad after, so I kissed him on the cheek. He gaved me a
confused look.
"Uh, I think I'm getting a cold or something. I
wouldn't want you to catch it!" I forced a sick cough
and he believed me. He hugged me instead. He smelt like the
familiar smell of cologne and soap that I love so much.
I was up all night thinking about Niall, and Harry. Remembering
their conversation in the bathroom gave me goosebumps. Why would
two famous guys like me? Usually they go for the tall, skinny,
models. And I'm just me. Before I knew it, I was drifting off
to sleep, pushing all of stress out of my mind.
~~~~
I was in the middle of history class when my phone vibrated in my
pocket. Making sure the teacher wasn't looking, I grabbed my
phone out of my pocket and placed it on my lap.
Niall: Hey can we
talk after you get out of school? Meet us in the parking lot
across the street. Don't worry it will only be me you and
hazza xx
Oh crap. Well I guess I expected
this, but I got a huge knot in my stomach and I felt the need to
puke. School was over in twenty minutes, that wasn't enough
time to figure out what I should do. Niall and Harry will
probably be mad at each other, and end up in a fight. Over me. I
wish Louis was going to be there, he's great in these
situations. But I couldn't text him and tell him to come,
that would be too suspicious. After school ended, my stomach was
churning even more. I took deep breaths as I walked, extremely
slowly, to the parking lot. I could see Niall and Harry already.
And they saw me, so there was no turning back now. Harry was
leaning against Niall's car, wearing his Ramones shirt and
sunglasses. I have to admit, he looked really cute. I shook my
head. No. I liked Niall, Niall was my boyfriend. Well, not for
long. He's probably going to break up with me right now,
another reason to be nervous.
I put on a fake smile and walked closer to them. "Hey
guys!"
"Hey babe!" Niall greeted, kissing me on the cheek. I
looked over and Harry, he was avoiding eye contact with me. Niall
cleared his throat and Harry looked up and him, and then at
me.
"Look, Macy, we need to tell you something kinda
important." Harry started. Niall nodded in agreement.
"Uh...I don't know how to say this, um" Harry
continued, fixing his hair as a distraction.
"I know you're falling for me, okay!" I blurted out. I felt my face
flush. They both looked at me, shocked. Did I really just
say that out loud?
I'm back :D
x happy summer! Gr, sorry

~chapter
nine~
The ride from my school to the other
venue they were playing at was long. I didn't say much to
Niall, and he didn't say much to me. I needed my space for a
minute or two to get myself in control again. I was in a good
mood when we left school, but now a wave of depression had washed
over me. Niall knew I needed space to get myself back together
but I felt bad for him. He just stood up for me, which means the
world to me, but I didn't talk to him for a good 25
minutes.
Still saying nothing, I grabbed his hand, the one that wasn't
on the wheel, and squeezed it tight. He looked down, then looked
me straight in the eyes and smiled that gorgeous smile of his.
For some reason, I instantly felt better knowing that Niall would
always be there for me.
We got to the venue and headed for their dressing room. Their
stylist was the only one in the room, and she had a rack of
beautiful clothes behind her.
"Come out when you're done babe!" Niall said and
left. The stylist smiled brightly and said, "You have
gorgeous eyes! These would look great on you!" She handed me
a pair of black skinny jeans and a long purple-striped top. She
also gave me black high heels that surprisingly looked amazing. I
tried it on for her and she squealed at my appereance. I smiled
and was gathering up my things, ready to leave. "Wait! One
more thing!" She came over to me and put a white beanie. I
looked at myself quickly before leaving. Wow, I actually
looked good. I followed the security guard to the stage
for the soundcheck. I walked in and everybody stared at me. I
started to blush nonstop. Niall's eyes widened and his jaw
was open a little bit. Liam went over and closed it for him,
knocking him out of the 'trance'. Niall came down the
stairs towards me and pulled me onto the stage with them. I sat
down on the stool placed in the middle and the boys started
singing More Than This to me. I still would get dizzy when they
sang to me. I mean who wouldn't? They are one of the most
popular boy bands in the world right now, and every one of them
were singing to me at this very moment.
~~~
After an amazing soundcheck filled with uncontrollable giggling,
we were back in the dressing room. It was around the time I would
be getting out of school so I texted my mom that I came here
straight after school. Yeah, I hated lying to her, but let's
be honest.. Was I really going to miss a once in a lifetime
chance like this? Zayn stood up from the couch we were all
sitting on. "Okay I am starving!" The rest of us agreed
and decided we should go out to dinner. They said they needed to
go somewhere very exclusive so nobody would know who they were.
After a couple of calls, Paul told us we had rented out the whole
restauraunt just for this dinner. I was shocked, but the boys
agreed like it was their normal routine. "I suppose you
should get ready, I told the manager we'd be there at 6:00
and it takes at least an hour to get there." Paul added. The
stylist left out all of our clothes again. Harry picked up the
dress that was laid out for me and held it against his torso.
"Oh I guess this one's for me!" We all laughed as
he danced around the room.
I loved how they really are just normal teenage boys, and that
the fame hasn't got to their heads.
nothing really
happened in this chapter, sorrrry.
