"Kelleigh! Kelleigh! Oh Kell! Guess what? Guess what!!!!! One Direction are coming to San Francisco tomorrow!! Can we go? Can we go? Please! Please! Pretty please with a cherry on top???" Sarah begged, rushing out of her room with her Macbook dangerously dangling at her fingertips.
I was babysitting five little kids at Sarah's house tonight. Sarah (13) and her little sister, Lena (6), Matt (8) and his older sister, Jessica (14), and Jake (12). I had to make some money for a new phone, so babysitting seemed like the best option. I've been sitting them for over a month now, and I quite enjoy it, actually.

Jessica, a year older than Sarah, came out from right behind her, full of enthusiasm. "Kelleigh! Kelleigh! Please? There's a contest to win tickets! Radio contest! AND WE ENTERED! I know we'll win! We'll find out in a few minutes... Can we go? Please?" she said

"Oh COME ON! One Direction this... One Direction that... Why is it always about those five idiots?" Jake whined.
"Jake... don't you dare insult my boys in front of me..." Jessica warned.
"Hey! They might be idiots, but they are the world's smartest and hilarious idiots ever! And we love them for that! And you better shut your -" Sarah started off, but I got to her before anything bad came out of that mouth of hers.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down, Sar, Jess. Jake, you too. And guys, we'll go if you win the tickets. I'll ask your parents today. I'm sure they'll be fine," I said.

"But Red!!!" Matt whined, calling me by my nickname.
"Matt, you don't have to come if you don't want to," I said.
"I have nowhere else to go," he said.
"Well, I'm sorry but you are coming along!" I said, getting tired of all the fuss.
"But that's not fair!" he said.
"Life's not fair!" I retorted, "You don't see me whining to my life about it, do you?"
"Kelleigh!" he tried, one last time.
"You're going to have to learn to live with it." I said, cutting off the conversation there.

"KELLEIGH!!! WE GOT THE TICKETS!!!" Sarah screamed, frantically checking her laptop.
"OH MY GOSH!!!" Jessica screamed with her, "We're going to finally see them!!! AAAHHH!" they screamed at the same time.
I smiled. I know I don't really show it out front that I'm a directioner, but I'm a true one directioner deep within. I was just as happy to be going to the concert as Sarah and Jessica.

---------- The next night ----------

"Red! We're late! The doors are going to be closed by now!" Sarah said, worrying a bit too much.
"Relax, we'll get in," I said.
"But the show starts at 8:30 - sharp!" Jessica said.
"We're just half an hour late, its fine," I said, although I was just as worried on the inside.
Matt and Jake sat silently in the back with Lena. They weren't happy about going to this concert, but they hadn't had a choice.

We finally reached the arena. The screams could be heard from a mile away. We got out of our van and made our way to the counter. The counter was empty. No one was there to check our tickets and let us in.

"They must've already left! They're all probably watching Harry singing in his beautiful voice!" Jessica complained.
"Don't forget Louis! I wanna see them so badly!" Sarah added.
"We'll see them, don't worry," I assured them, "Follow me,"

I walked around the ticket counter and to the front door. I yanked at it. Locked. Great. I thought. I walked around the arena towards the back of it, checking all the side entrances along the way. They were all locked. Just our luck.

"Hey! Look! A limo!" Matt pointed. He was obsessed with cars. Any cool looking car, he would point out and let us all know exactly what it was. Unnecessary at times, and quite annoying, but it kept him occupied, so I was fine with it.

The limo, for some odd reason, pulled up at the back gate of the arena. A black limo, sparkling in the bright street lights, parked at the curb. A gatesman pulled open the gate, wide enough for three elephants to go through it. That's when I realized who's limo it was.

"Guys, back here, quick!" I whispered, pulling them behind a row of trees. We had a perfect view of the limo from here. Five god-like humans slowly got out of the limo, one by one. Harry. Louis. Liam. Niall. Zayn. Their perfect features glistening in the moonlight. I smiled, admiring their beauty. They began walking down the red carpet leading to the back door of the arena. Slowly making their way to the door, I realized they would pass right in front of us. Harry was now not more than five feet from me. I gasped, sensing his aura. I had never been so close to a celebrity in my whole life. I felt as if I would faint.

Jessica, not able to hold herself in, let out a little scream. "Yeep!" she squealed. Harry, unfortunately, caught onto that.

"Hey! Did you hear that?" he asked Louis, right behind him.
"Think it came from there," he said, pointing at our trees.
"Probably just some bird... come on guys, let's go! We're over half an hour late!" Liam urged, pushing them ahead.
"If it weren't for Niall and his food, we'd have been here over half an hour early," Louis said, sticking his tongue out at Niall.
Niall, who was now three feet from me, narrowed his eyes, glaring at Louis, then all of a sudden, stuck his tongue out at him too.

I couldn't help it. I had to laugh. I let out a little giggle at that cute little Irish face of my Niall Horan. He frowned. Uh oh. He heard me. I gasped. Wrong move. He heard that too.

"Hey, that was definitely not a bird," he pointed out.
"Niall! We're late! Move! Who cares what that is! Come on!" Zayn pushed.
"Yeah, yeah. Wait. You go ahead. I'll be right there," he said, not taking his eyes off our trees.
"Niall!" Liam urged.
"Wait!" he whispered.

He walked off the carpet and came closer to our trees. He was now within two feet from me. I could feel the warmth of his body against me right now. I wish I had a camera to capture this moment right now. I was frozen. I stood there, gazing into our tree. I hoped I was well covered, unnoticeable. He drew in his eyebrows and stared for a couple seconds.

"I knew it," he said, a small smile encrypting onto his cute little face, "Come out, guys. We don't bite," he said, giving me a warm smile. He knew. "Well, I don't bite. I wouldn't trust Louis, though... he can get a bit carried away sometimes," he said. His strong accent stung my ears, in a good way. I slowly uncovered myself from the leaves that had gotten attached to me from the tree and climbed out of my hiding space. Matt followed me, along with Lena and Jake. Jessica and Sarah stayed frozen, crouched against the tree trunk.

"Hello, there. I'm Niall," he introduced himself, sticking his hand out for me to shake.
I couldn't move. I had to.
"I - I - I'm Kelleigh," I said, taking his hand. His soft fingertips brushed against mine, sending chills down my spine. I shivered.
"I'm Matt," Matt said.
"I'm Jake," Jake said.
"My name is Lena," Lena said in her adorable little voice.
"Lena, how nice," Niall repeated, giving her a gentle smile, "And who're those?" he asked, gesturing to Jess and Sarah.
"That's my sister, Sarah. And then that is her friend, Jessica," Lena introduced. She was amazing. I loved her.
Jessica and Sarah got out from their spot, finally unfreezing themselves, and got the courage to stand next to me. But they still couldn't utter a word.
"Great," Niall said, flashing his beautiful smile again, "are you guys here for the concert?" he asked, looking me in the eye. His blue eyes glowed, his blonde hair, sparkled, his perfect face stayed amazing. I have to speak. Now.
"Uh... yes. but we can't get in," I said.
"Oh, it's fine. Come with us," he said. The other boys had already gone in by now. We followed Niall into the back door of the arena.

"So, Kelleigh," he began.
"Call me Red. That's my nickname," I said.
"I prefer Kells, if that's fine?" he asked.
I smiled in answer.
"So Kells," he re-began, "you're their sister?" he asked.
"No! No! I'm just babysitting them. They won concert tickets and wanted me to bring them here," I said.
"Wonderful," he said, smiling. His eyes were still locked on mine.
"Uh... Niall? Aren't you maybe a bit late?" I asked him.
"Oh no! Yes! I'm late!" he said, jerking back into reality, "Um... but Kells, can I ask you for a favor?" he asked.
"Anything!" I replied.
He took my hand and pulled out a pen from his back pocket. He scribbled down a number on my palm, looking back at it, satisfied.
"Give me a call when you have the chance, ok?" he asked.
I gasped. Was he asking me to call him?
"I like you. You're pretty, great personality, from what I see, children and all. I would like to see where this goes," he said.
"A-A-a-Alright!" I stuttered.
"Great! See you soon then!" he said, waving, "Enjoy the show!" he called, disappearing behind a curtain.

"KELLEIGH!!! YOU GOT NIALL HORAN'S PHONE NUMBER!!!" Jessica and Sarah screamed together.
I joined them, jumping up and down all over the place.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Niall Horan a lot more now! I will give him a call as soon as we get home from the concert.

"See you soon Niall!" I called through the curtains, smiling to myself.
