Any idea why The X Factor USA All Access Pass deleted the photo they got of Demi and Niall backstage from their Instagram account? Every other photo from the finale night is still there, just that one picture…

Chapter One

Sat, 20 Apr 2013 02:15:00 -0400

“I hope the tour goes as great as rehearsals,” I hear Harry say around a bite of donut as he trailed along behind me.

“Yeah buddy,” I chuckled in agreement, untangling the towel from my neck to wipe off the sweat dotting my forehead.

Rehearsals ended five minutes ago, I still felt like I was on a high. That’s how it always felt like to me. A high. Who needed drugs? No matter how awful I felt, how alone I was feeling, I’ll always have music. Music will be there when no one else was.

Louis playfully slaps the back of my head as he strolls past us into the greenroom where he promptly flops onto the couch.

“Time to relax,” he whistles, releasing a sigh. “Those stupid paparazzi at the entrance gave me a massive headache.”

I poked his leg aside and sat down on the freed space.

Zayn comes into the room a second later, ignoring the waves that we gave him. He was on the phone having what seemed to be a heated conversation with Perrie. It seemed that the media had made up another cheating rumor about him and some girl in some place. We didn’t say anything after that. It was best to give him space. Just how much space could we give each other until the media broke us, however, wasn’t something I liked to dwell on. It seemed like it was now us against the world.

My phone was handed to me by one of assistants working on the tour after having it taken away during rehearsals.

I immediately cursed aloud when the screen lighted up.

“What’s wrong?” Liam asks from where he sat by the bench before an air cooler, his legs stretched out in front of him.

“It’s Demi. She left me five missed calls.”

Without another word, I jumped from my seat and headed into the toilet. I slammed the door behind me and instantly dialed her number. She picked up on the third ring.

Her voice immediately fills the line. “You finally called.”

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

There was a moment of silence.

I knew better than to prod her further.

One thing I learnt about Demi since we started dating was that she needed time—time to think, time to speak, time to love, and time to heal. She was beautiful inside and out, but she was also perfectly flawed. But that’s what made me love her. She wasn’t like any other girl. With her weaknesses and strengths, she taught me how to be patient. She taught me that I was so blessed to not have to take pills every day to regulate my emotions. She taught me what love was.

Suddenly I heard a giggle.

“I’m sorry,” she says, still giggling.

“What’s wrong?” I asked again, confused now.

“It’s nothing, really. It seemed like something at the moment but now it just seems stupid.”

“What seemed stupid?”

More silence.

“It’s my leg.”

“What happened?”

Silence again. Then another giggle sounded.

“I broke it.”

“You what?” I all but yelled.

“I fell and broke my leg. It’s my roommate’s fault. She tried to clean the hardwood floors in our apartment with Pledge! But it’s no big deal. It’ll be fine. The doctors said I’ll only have to wear the cast for two months. The girls will take care of me.”

Could I really trust a bunch of girls in a sober home to take care of my girlfriend? I mean, I’m sure they were wonderful people. Demi always spoke nice things about them. But I knew Demi. She always chose to see the good in people instead of the bad. Could I really trust her with them?

I let out a frustrated groan, not sure how I was feeling now.

There was anger. That I knew. I felt angry at her for being so careless and angry at myself that I wasn’t able to be there for her like a normal boyfriend would be. There were just so many things we could never do together. This was just one of them.

“I want to be with you right now,” I mumbled into the phone, dragging my palm down my face. “It’s just so difficult.”

“It’ll be fine, Nialler,” she scolds, her voice stern yet gentle. She was the only person who could do that. “I’ll keep you updated. I promise, Nialler. Just focus on rehearsals and your upcoming tour and I’ll tell you when we can meet again once my manager updates my schedule.”

I expelled a sigh. “I’ll tell you when mine gets updated too.”

After a while, I hear her sigh. “Do you think that this will get easier? I mean, I never had a long-distance relationship before.”

“Neither did I.”

“Don’t get me wrong, Nialler. I really want this to work. I’m doing what I can to make it work. I don’t care if it isn’t easy. My whole life hasn’t been easy. But I’m working and I’m trying. So tell me that I’m not crazy. Tell me that this will work out.”

“Don’t overthink this. Remember what you made me promise you when you agreed to go out with me for the second time?”

There was a long pause before she mumbled a quiet yes.

“Well, that rests my case. We will not overthink this like we promised not to. We agreed to date each other because we didn’t care about the obstacles. There’s only me and you in this relationship. Everything else and everyone else is optional.”

I could feel her hesitance even through the phone.

“Okay,” she finally says in a sigh. A brash noise sounded in the background. “Shoot. I have to go. My roommate found me. I really appreciate what she’s been doing for me these past days but she’s not letting me out of her sight! I swear she wouldn’t even let me call you without her hovering over me!”

I couldn’t help but chuckle at that. “Okay, love.”

“I love you,” she says, sounding like her normal self again.

“I love you too, Demetria.”

“Don’t call me that!”

“Demi?” I could hear her roommate call from a distance. “There you are! What are you doing down here in the basement?”

And then the line ended.

I chuckled to myself as I tucked my phone back into my pocket.

As I exited the bathroom, I could hear the lads arguing over which restaurant we would head out to. Apparently that new burger at McDonalds was a tough contender against our usual Nandos.

“What’s up?” Liam says to me as I took a seat beside him.

I stretched my legs out next to him and leaned back against the couch. I pressed the tip of my tongue to the inside of my cheek, my legs twitching. “She broke her leg.”

He gave me an incredulous look. “What?”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought too.”

“She’s a work of art,” he says, laughing lightly.

I smiled to myself. “She is. And I love everything about her.”
