The truth is that everyone's gonna hurt you. You just need to find the ones worth suffering for.

By now the tour is extremely close to ending. So close that it's practically already over. We're on our way to our last stop in North Carolina before we head back to London for a long break.

Our show tonight is something I wasn't actually looking forward to. Why? Because it means the end. Our last hurrah of the tour. I don't want it to end. I don't want this to be the last show. Well, maybe not the last show, but the last show for a while. 

Simon and I talked for a bit about an album. Nothing is officially decided yet but he's thinking of having me start writing my own music once the tour ends. So basically within the next week. I'm excited. I could finally start singing my own thoughts and feelings instead of other peoples.

Actually, I started a song. In fact I finished it and showed it to Simon. He said it was a great piece of work and would love for me to perform it for the last concert. We hadn't recorded it or anything yet. I would just perform it once and have everyone wondering for a while until we got the chance to release it as a single. 

I haven't seen or heard any sign of Maggie since she kissed Niall. Thank God for that. I think she's gone for good now. I hope so. It's been a few stops since then and I'm hoping she doesn't return. 

"Hey!" Niall says cheerfully as he enters my dressing room smiling. 

"Hi," I say, staring at my shoes. 

"What's wrong?" he asks cautiously. 

"Nothing," I say shaking my head. He looks at me worriedly. I give him a weak smile. "Really. I'm fine." He searches my face for a moment before pecking my cheek. 

"You know you can tell me," he whispers before pulling away. 

"I just....don't want the tour to end." He sighs and hugs me. 

"There will be other shows," he promises. I nod. 

"I know. I just love it so much. This whole thing is just....amazing." 

He smiles. "It's not the end."

"I know." He sighs and kisses my lips before pulling back. 

"I have to run. Get ready for the show and all. See you later beautiful," he says, smiling and winking. I smile back as he leaves the room. I look at myself in the mirror and take a deep breath. 

"You ready?" Kristy says, popping her head into my dressing room. I smile and nod. She grins back. "Let's do this thing," she says before turning back out of the room. I giggle and follow her out. 

"You're on in....3...2....1....," counts off a crew member.

I rise up on the platform. Something I've done many times by now. Music started. My music. Notes that I wrote down on paper. I pressed the mic to my lips as the crowd roared at my appearance. 

"This is a song I wrote about someone special. It's called Smile For You," I admit smiling and thinking of Niall as the song begins.

(AUTHORS NOTE: to the tune of Perfect Two on the side ;D)

"Ohhh, yeah yeahhh,

I've had some hard times but I've never given up,

I keep going every time I feel like I’ve gotten stuck,

no longer sitting there feeling sad all alone,

now I found someone to pick me up when I am low,

I had lost all hope but then you made my sun shine,

made my world really seem to brighten like the day light,

in a place with no faith left to be spoken,

you had been the one to make me smile when I'm broken

Don't know if you even realize,

how much you came and changed my life,

and I know that one day you'll see how much you mean to me

Cause you’re the one that I trust

You’re the one that makes me smile

You’re the one that I love

And I would love to stay a while,

Just to be with you, with you

Because I know that this is true

You're the real reason, you know....

I smile just for you

Yeah

I smile just for you

Oh

I smile just for you

Oh..

Baby this is true,

I smile just for you....."

As I continued the song I couldn't stop smiling. My music. My song. This is awesome. When I finish I leave the stage just like every night and head to my dressing room with Claire. That wasn't like every other night though. That was much much better. I couldn't wait to see Niall.

After their show the boys took a while to find me so I went to look for them. I had Claire stay back and hang out with Kristy. I heard the sound of Paul (the boys bodyguard) and Niall's voices coming from around the corner. I looked around curiously and saw a pissed off Niall, a smirking Maggie, and a very serious looking Paul. My mouth dropped open when I saw her. The boys all looked at me. I could tell something was very wrong. Something had happened. I could just tell by...everything.

A million possibilities ran through my head. How is she here? I thought she lived like five states away! Of course she would come back. I should have known she wouldn't go away that easily. She doesn't seem like the type just to give up without a fight. I hated her. Her and the killer. The only two people in this world I truly despised.

"Lex," Niall says, looking at me apologetically. Paul had a strong grip on Maggie's arm. She was grinning at me a bit evilly. I glared back at her.

Liam and Zayn saw this and escorted me away from the situation in front of me. Probably before I attacked her or something because that's honestly what I felt like doing. Niall looked after me but appeared almost afraid to follow.

"What the fuck is she doing here?" I ask immediately.

"She's following us. She managed to get backstage passes for multiple concerts," Zayn explains. I growl under my breath.

"What happened?" I ask through clenched teeth. Neither of the boys respond so I ask again. "Tell me what happened. Beginning to end. The full story." Liam sighs and begins to speak.

"Niall was with us. We were walking to find your dressing room. On our way Maggie stopped us and gave us all hugs but when she hugged Niall she tried to kiss him on the lips again. He's completely innocent. He tried to push her off and everything. Thankfully Paul was with us and could just get her off of him right away"

I ball up my fists. My teeth were clenched so tight I thought they would chip. I had this weird knot in my stomach that wouldn't go away and I felt like crying, but I didn't. I've had enough of this bitch. I've had enough of worrying about her. I've had enough of getting hurt every time I catch her fucking molesting my boyfriend. Niall appears from around the corner looking right at me.

"Lexi, I know how you must feel but-"

"No! You don't! You don't know how I fucking feel right now because it's not happening to you! I can't do this anymore! If she wants us broken up so badly then let her have what she wants! I can't stand this pain I get every time I see her with you, and maybe if I just leave you alone she will go away!" I yell at him, fighting back tears. He looked heartbroken and shocked.

"You....you want to break up?" he asks me, surprised. I squeeze my eyes shut tight my eyes and let a single tear fall to the floor below me.

"Maybe its best," I say, just above a whisper. "You don't get it, Niall. I know it's not your fault. I know you have no control over this. I'm not mad at you. I still love you but that doesn't matter to Maggie. She just wants me out of the picture. She wants Niall Horan to be single and that's why she keeps following you. So she can try to break us up. Maybe if we give her what she wants she will just stop..."

"Lexi, please don't do this. Don't cry. Fans try things like this all the time. I love you. No one else. Please?" he begs. I rip my eyes away from his and wipe away the tears with the sleeve of my hoodie.

"Maybe I'm just not fit to be a celebrity's girlfriend," I say, trying to keep myself together but failing. "I'm sorry Niall. It's not just Maggie. Once she's gone it will be someone else. Someone after that. Your fans love you, and they want you. They don't care what I want. They want you for themselves and they will go to any lengths to make that dream come true. It's heartbreaking for me and I....I just can't go through this anymore."

"I promise I won't let any of this happen again. Please don't do this," he pleads. I could tell he was holding back tears as he reached for my hand. I looked away. I couldn't stand to see him so sad. He looked alone. Lost.

"I'm sorry Niall," I say through my sobs. I was full on crying now. "After the tour...I'll just rent an apartment in London. I'm so sorry." The tears kept flowing.

"Don't move out. You don't have to move out. Please stay," he begs. "What about Claire? What about being friends? You can't just leave." I couldn't look him in the eye.

"I'm so sorry," I say through my obvious tears as I give him one last glance before turning and running back to my dressing room. I had my hand on the handle when I realized Claire was in there. I was crying and I couldn't let her see me like this. I wiped away my tears as best as I could and snuck in, hiding my face. She was sleeping, thank God. Kristy looked at me a bit strange like she thought something was wrong, but she didn't ask.

I picked up Claire and my things and got a taxi back to the hotel. Tomorrow we would leave and go back to London. I looked online and booked a hotel to stay at until I could find an apartment. I had enough money now to afford a small place of my own but it wasn't enough for my own house like I had lived in before with my brother. I could always move to California with him, but I had the album in the UK to deal with so I had to stay.

I felt awful about breaking up with Niall. It wasn't even his fault. But I couldn't keep getting heartbroken because of that stupid Maggie girl. If she wasn't here we would still be together and have no problems to deal with. I hate her.

When we got to the hotel I asked for another room at the front desk. I paid for it since I hadn't even mentioned it to management. I went upstairs and put Claire to bed in Louis' room where she always stayed. I went over to Niall's room and gathered my things. I wheeled my bags to my new room and sat down on the bed.

I decided to go to sleep. I've had a long night. After washing off my smudged makeup and changing into pajamas I crawled into the bed alone. I didn't like it. Niall wasn't there to kiss me goodnight. He wasn't there to sing to me. He wasn't there to hold me in his arms as I fell asleep. I missed him already, but I had to stay strong and not go back to him. That would only hurt me more. The room seemed too silent as I drifted off to sleep.

"Niall! Stop it!" I heard someone giggling. I recognized the voice as Maggie's. I looked around. I was on the beach.

There was a fancy dinner set up with twinkling lights and everything. Just like what Niall had done for our first date. Maggie and Niall were sitting across from each other. She was wearing my dress and he was in the same tux he had been wearing the night he took me to this place.

He was holding her hand and trying to kiss her while she was chewing food. She was giggling like crazy. Niall had a giant smile on his face.

"I love you Niall," she says to him.

"I love you too Maggie," he says back. Then they both kissed. I just stood there, speechless. I walked over to them.

"No! You don't love him! You just wanted to steal him from me!" I yell at Maggie. She doesn't seem to hear me. They continue talking, oblivious to my presence. "Hello?!"

As Niall smiles at her he turns as stiff as a statue. Time freezes. Everything stops. But Maggie doesn't. She turns right to me with a hateful glare.

"He's mine now bitch. He's forgotten about you. Look how happy he is now that you're gone." Niall's smile didn't fade. Time was literally frozen. I looked at him. He looked happy. Suddenly time resumed and Niall laughed at a joke Maggie made. They were both unaware of my existence again.

"No," I say. "No!" I scream louder.

My eyes open and I stare at the clock. Two in the morning. I sigh and sit up hugging my knees to my chest as tears well up in my eyes. I wipe them away and grab my guitar. I walk out to my hotel balcony and sit down on one of the chairs, resting my feet on the ledge of the railing. I stare at the stars and strum a familiar tune.

"I've had some hard times but I've never given up,

I keep going every time I feel like I’ve gotten stuck,

no longer sitting there feeling sad all alone,

now I found someone to pick me up when I am low,

I had lost all hope but then you made my sun shine,
