We hear people singing from the big hall and cheering and clapping hands, but we don't really care. Niall's lips are back attached to mine and my heart flips around, dances in me, is just happy to have him again. We've changed position and now I'm against the wall. Niall's cheeks are bright red and I chuckle when a sweat pearl rolls down his forehead. "Haven't done much exercise over the days, have you?" I laugh and stand on my tiptoes to kiss his neck.

"How could I without you?" He chuckles and presses me back against the wall.

"From one to ten, how much did you miss me?" I ask and bite my lip, which I know drives him crazy.

"Hmmm... 476." Niall smirks and kisses my neck. I feel like we're High School students who are fresh in love, where everything is prefect and sweet. Or like we're on our honeymoon, just loving each other more and more every second that we're together. Or like an really old couple that still has love for each other.

I knew that I missed him, but I didn't know how much until now.

"Just 476?" I ask as he starts to suck on my skin. To my surprise, we're still alone and everyone is still in the hall, singing and embarrassing themselves on stage. Niall leaves a small hickey on my neck as I place one hand is on his torso and the other one I on his chest. When a few 12 year olds walk pass us and give us weirded out and disgusted looks, I bury my face into Niall's chest. He keeps his head down and quietly laughs as they walk pass us. His one hand is on my waist as the other holds him up against the wall. Then few others walk pass us, all on their way to the backstage room. When I hear Sam laughing, I know that mine and Niall's moment is over.

"Olive! You'll never guess what just happened." Sam says, laughing as he walks pass me and Niall, followed by the other boys, including Aaron and Ethan, and Jazzy, Kimberly and Hannah. I look up to Niall, who's standing straight as his face has a little tensed up when Aaron walked passed us. He and Ethan quickly share some glances before Ethan turns around again and follows the others into the room. I give Niall a questioning look, but he just smiles again and kisses my cheek. "Where are we going now?" He wants to know as I take his hand.

"5 foot something with the skinny jeans.." I sing, smirking at him. He makes the guitar noises and chuckles as I lead him to the backstage room. "Don't look back, baby follow me." I bite my lip, stop and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"I don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way." Niall sings his part as I press down the handle of the door.

"Same old shit but a different day." I laugh and we enter the room. No one seems to care that we just came in, don't look at us and just keep on talking. Niall seems obviously surprised by that, but just shrugs and follows me to my friends – and Aaron.

"Welcome to the backstage area." I smile at Niall as he looks around the room.

"That's what you call a backstage area?" He laughs and my mouth forms an O, before I remember that he's Niall Horan from One Direction who have sold out concerts all over the world.

"Well, love, it is behind a stage and we hang out here because everywhere else are parents, therefor it's a backstage area." I explain to him and quickly kiss his cheek.

"Guess who found this room." Kimberly smirks.

"I don't know, who?" Niall wants to know.

"Your girlfriend." She explains and Niall nods understanding and smirking.

"Let me guess, she ran off and kinda just found this room." He laughs and everyone nods. "Sound's like you, love." Niall mumbles against my ear and kisses it softly.

"Bit risky to come here, isn't it?" Peter asks and hands Niall a beer over.

"Not really, I'm on a break and only interesting when I'm in London." Niall laughs and puts his arm around my waist. I snuggle into his chest as I take the beer out of his hands and open it for him. "Thanks love." He mumbles into my ear as I give it back to him.

"You won't let her go, will ya?" Kimberly asks, laughing.

"Never." Niall smiles proud from one ear to the other.

"Anyway, Olive, so guess what just happened while you were away!" Sam holds his laugh back, making me laugh.

"Can't you just tell me?" I roll my eyes at my cousin.

"Fine. So, I don't know why but someone decided that Finnegan here," He puts his hand on Finn's shoulder. "has to sing and took the first chance to push him up the stage. Now guess that he sung?" Sam's already bit drunk, making his Irish accent even stronger. He bites his fists to not laugh and adds "Niall, you'd be proud."

"What did he sing?" Niall wants to know, being just as curious as me now before taking a sip of his beer.

"He-He..." Sam can't finish and just laughs.

"Samuel!" Finn rolls his eyes at him and punches him into the arm.

"He sang Story Of My Life." Sam burst out laughing and I don't understand what's so funny about it. I look at the others, who don't understand it either. Ethan shrugs and puts his hand around Jazzy. We all – except for Niall – sighs and step up to punch Sam either in the arms or on his stomach, only soft though. A traditions of ours.

Then the doors opens and it's a parent who looks in which can only mean one thing: Food.

"Kids, food is ready." She says and steps to the side. I take Niall's hand and pull him behind me as I rush to the buffet. Everyone else is rushing behind us and the younger ones are running. When we got the hall, Niall and I are just behind the ones who ran.

"Better than last year." I say to Jazzy who stands right behind me and Niall. She laughs at our little inside joke that only we both know about.

Last year, Jazzy and I – I seriously don't know why – had the idea to just come when everyone else has already got their food. We weren't starving, just a bit hungry, and fine with waiting. But we didn't know that it'd take so long. At the end, we both were starving and when it finally was our turn, there was not much left, but not so less enough to bring more in. So we took what was left and hey, at least it taught us a lesson – always be first in line! That day, I understood why my mum always pushed me into the front the years before.

When Niall and I have what we like from the buffet, we resume back to the backstage room, not really wanting to stay in the big hall with everyone's parents, grandparents and kids. Niall and I are alone in the room for the second time today, which I didn't think would be possible. Few minutes go pass where we just eat and giggle when he looks at me or vice versa.

The others then come back and all eat, drink and laugh. I avoid Aaron presence in the room, just look at the others and ignore everything that Aaron says, even though it's pretty hard. Niall knows that I feel slightly uncomfortable because of Aaron and holds my hand as he sits on a chair, while I stand behind him. The others have found things to sit on as well – chairs, tables – or just stand like I do. The room is pretty filled, more than the years before but we stay as our little group, while the younger ones stay within their group.

Only when they start playing Truth or Dare, the boys of Selection join them. Just to have fun, they say but secretly want to make them suffer a bit. What they suggest as dares, are nothing to us and our age group, but for the younger ones, holding someone's hand for longer than 5 seconds is already a huge deal. Only the boys –except Niall and Ethan – play the game with them, while we girls, Niall and Ethan watch them laughing. Niall stands right next to me and I have my arms around him. Niall has his arms around my shoulder as I rest my head on his shoulder. Ethan stands next to Jazzy, a small step back, his hand on her waist, which no one except for me and Niall seem to notice.

"Look at them." Niall whispers and looks to Ethan and Jazzy. I see that they are whispering things to each other, which again no one in the room seems to notice, making me very happy for my twin brother.

When it all gets boring, to not just Ethan, Jazzy, Niall and I, which happened pretty quickly, but also to the boys and other girls, we go outside. It's just us, the boys of Selection (Sam, Calum, Jason,Peter, Finn and Aaron), Ethan and Niall and then us girls, Hannah,Kimberly, Jazzy and I. The others stay behind in the room and don't care that we leave anyways. They're probably happy that they don't have to hold someone's hand or kiss someone on the cheek anymore, now that we are outside.

Not one of us has brought a jacket though and Niall quickly runs to his car to get his. When he's back, he puts it over me and stands himself next to me as he puts his hand around my waist and quickly kissing my temple. Ethan, he gentleman that I taught him to be, gives his blazer to Jazzy and she thanks him with a little smile and blushing cheeks. Calum quickly runs back in, gets his coat and Hannah's. When he's back he gives Hannah hers and Kimberly his.

"You could have just taken her coat with you." Finn points out a much smarter and effective solution.

"I couldn't find it." He says, looking down and I see that he's blushing. I look to Kimberly, who's blushing even more, before she sits down on the bench. Hannah takes a seat next to her, after putting her coat on, and we surround them. It's an awkward silence as we all slowly walk over to them. Sam sits down and Calum sits down on the ground next to him while we others stand in the cold. Neither of us talks nor whispers until Finn exhales loudly, clearly expressing how bored he is. I bite my lip and think of a topic to talk about.

"I like your shoes, Olive." Hannah suddenly breaks the silent.

"Thanks,I like your co--" I get cut off by Jason.

"For fucks shake! This ain't funny anymore with all of you." He exclaims, shocking all of us. "We all know that Jazzy and Ethan are in a relationship. Stop hiding it, you're fucking bad at it. We all know that Hannah and Aaron broke up. Stop acting like everything's fine." He takes a deep breath and then looks from me to Aaron. "We all know that Aaron and Olivia are ignoring each other." He takes a deep breath. "For whatever fucking reason they have." He exclaims and takes a step back.

"I don't have a reason." Aaron mumbles quickly and I roll my eyes at him.

Silence.

"What is your reason?" Hannah asks whispering. Even though she didn't look at anyone and just stared down to the ground, we all know that the question was towards me.

Silence.

"What is your reason?" Hannah repeats when no one answers. Everyone either looks at me or Aaron, waiting for an answer from one of us. Aaron stares directly into my eyes and I in his. It's the first time that I look at him for today and my heart turns cold. I have to take deep breaths.

"Olive--" Aaron then starts but Niall cuts him off.

"Don't call her that!" Niall's voice is sharp and deep. Anger is building up in him.

"Calm down, mate." Aaron says and takes a step back.

"We're not mates." Niall takes one step towards him, making him go two steps back.

"Niall..." I reach out for his hand, but he pulls away as he walk towards Aaron. Aaron stands still and looks directly into Niall's eyes. This is not going to end well.

"Boys, I think it's enough." Kimberly speaks out.

"Yeah." Aaron takes a step towards Niall and they stand close to each other, but don't touch the other opponent.

"You don't know what he did." Niall says, his voice so deep, his body tensed up.

"What did I do?" Aaron provokes.

"You know exactly what you did." Niall says and takes a deep breath.

"So? What are you going to do about it? You don't have your security team here, do you?" Aaron asks Niall.

"Stop it." Ethan says and takes a step towards them but Aaron holds his hand up to stop Ethan from coming closer.

"Stay back Ethan. He's not going to do anything anyways." Aaron continues to provoke. "He needs his pretty face to sell records, don't you? You won't punch me, Niall. It's bad press, isn't it?"

And then everything becomes slow motion. Niall punches Aaron in his face, probably leaving a nasty mark for the next weeks, and Aaron hits him back. They land on the ground, Niall on top, hitting Aaron into his arms and face. Niall's face is red of anger, his eyebrows furrowed and his breathing heavy.

"Niall stop!" I exclaim. Everyone stands still, watching them as I yell at them, telling them to stop. "Aaron stop! Stop it please!" Tears stream down my face and my heart is racing. "Niall stop!" I yell as he continues to hit Aaron. Aaron punches Niall back but doesn't hit him as hard or as well.

"You fucking touched my girl! You fucking made her run away! You fucking dick! You don't deserve to be in her near, you fucking piece of shit!" Niall yells and hits Aaron all over his face.

"Niall stop! Please stop!" I yell as tears roll down my cheeks.

"You fucking hurt her you piece of shit!" Niall shouts. "Did you really think that I don't hurt you back?! Did you really think that I wouldn't kill just because of who I am! You don't deserve to breathe!"

Aaron has giving up on punching Niall and just covers his face with his arms.

"Ethan do something!" I yell at my brother. He comes back out of his trance and tries to pull them apart. Niall is beating around him, hitting the air, but no person. Aaron does nothing. Sam steps up and helps Ethan, pulling Niall away from Aaron.

"Niall it's enough." I whisper as tears roll down my cheeks. "It's enough." I repeat as I take Niall's hand. Ethan and Sam let Niall go and he lets take his hand. I lead him away from Aaron who's crumbled up on the ground.

"I'm sorry, princess. I-I cou--" Niall says when he realizes that he just did. I cut Niall of by shaking my head at him.

"Take me home Niall." Is all that I can say.
