I was waiting anxiously on Michael to arrive. I didn't breath a word of college to Niall yet, I was too afraid. I had no idea what he would say or how he would react. I decided to keep it quiet for the time being. If he says no I'll tell Niall because it won't matter then. I hope he doesn't though, I kinda wanna go now. I wanna go a lot.

Imagine, this time next month I could be getting ready to go to college? The thought excited me. I could actually be going to the college of my dreams. I hope Michael allows me.

"Hi darlin', s'up?" Niall asked, coming behind me and wrapping his arms around me.

"I love when you call me darling." I smiled, turning around to face him.

"I know." He kissed me delicately.

"How?"

"I seen the way you eyes lit up yesterday when I said it." He smiled.

"Don't you have an interview now?" I asked him and he nodded. "Then why are you here with me?"

"I'm waiting t' get me makeup done." He sighed.

"How very manly of you." I teased.

"You're never gonna see me as a man, are ya?" He asked and I shook my head, trying not to giggle. "You'll see me as one someday."

"Nope." I poked his chest with a smile.

"Remind me why I love you again?" He asked me.

"Because I'm Jenny." I grinned and he chuckled.

"Of course, now I remember." He smiled, placing his forehead against mine. Just then Lou entered the room in a fluster. "We're late you know." Niall reminded her.

"You're in One Direction, they're lucky if you arrive two hours late." She said and I had to say I agreed with that one. "Jenny, do his makeup, I am having issues with Harry's hair today and that's what took me so long and I still have his makeup to do, so you're good, will you do Niall's and maybe even Louis' if you can?" She asked me.

"Yay!" I clapped my hands. "Of course!"

"Great, thank you so much, here." She handed me her makeup box. "Louis!" She yelled. "Come in here, Jenny's gonna do your makeup."

"Sit down." I smiled at Niall who took a seat on the couch. I placed the box on the table and took out Niall's cosmetics as Louis' entered the room.

"Heyo kids." He said, flopping down next to Niall on the couch. "You're doing my makeup I hear."

"Yes, now sit there while I do Niall's." I said and began doing Niall's. Louis kept making him giggle throught the progress making it a lot harder to do, considering he kept fidgeting and moving but I got him done pretty quick, covering him small imperfections.

"Right Louis, where's yours?" I asked him.

"There." He pointed to the small drawer next to Niall's. I began doing Louis' while Niall watched.

"So how's you and Niall?" He asked me.

"Fine." I replied.

"Heard it was real fine last night." He smirked and I shot Niall a glare.

"Niall!" I gave out.

"Come on, when a guy gets head he obviously is gonna wanna gloat about it." Niall defended. I just shook my head at him.

"I'm never giving you it again if this is the case." I said and he looked crestfallen, obviously thinking I was serious.

"Haha, loser." Louis taunted while I continued to do his makeup.

"But I love you darlin'." He came and wrapped his arms around me from behind. I know he was only calling me darling to try get his way with me.

"Not gonna work darlin'." I patted his arm and he huffed.

"I don't like you anymore." He folded his arms over his chest and I rolled my eyes. Once Louis was finished the boys were carted out to the interview. They were gonna be on telly in America, hence the reason they needed makeup.

"Thanks so much Jenny." Lou said, coming into the dressing room I was in.

"It was no problem! I love doing their makeup." I beamed and at the same time the door opened and Michael walked in. I looked at him and gulped.

"Hello Jenny." He smiled, a little too gleeful than usual.

"You're back." I sighed.

"Yep, did you miss me?" He asked.

"No."

"Oh, that's not nice." He nudged my shoulder.

"Please, don't touch me." I grimaced and he looked offended. Not that I cared. "But I have to talk to you so follow me." I said to him and he shrugged and followed me.

"So what is it when you actually want to talk to me?" He asked, leaning on a windowsill.

"Well, I got accepted into the college I always wanted to go to and -"

"I'm gonna stop you there; no." He replied and my heart sunk.

"What? Why?"

"You have a contract until October, no, you're meant to legally stay until April anyways."

"Michael, please, I really want this and I'll only get one shot." I pleaded, feeling disheartened, now a little angry he was being brutal. I have thought about it overnight and I really want to go now.

"I said no."

"Michael, come on, this is my future we're talking about." I pleaded. He took a deep breath before speaking again.

"Yes, and you can go to college next year, right now, you have a job." He calmly said.

"I don't do anything anyways! All I do is tour with you, you won't miss me." I pointed out. He shook his head in dismissal. "Michael please, you won't let me near Niall anyways, what the fuck am I meant to do?"

"Be with him in public as your contract states, you're staying until at least October." He firmly stated.

"Michael, this is important to me, I have wanted to go here since I was a kid and I finally got accepted!"

"You shouldn't have applied without consoling me." He said. I don't know why he isn't shouting at me or threatening me right now.. usually he would be.

"My mom applied for me before I even got this job and the letter came two months ago but she didn't open it until the last day." I explained.

"You signed that contract and you knew you were in for the year, so you are and that's final." He stated and left the room.

"Michael." I sighed but he had left. I sighed and put my face in my hands. I felt trapped. I'm not allowed near Niall, yet, I'm not allowed to leave. It makes no sense to be honest. It's not like a I do all that much for Michael's benifet.

I sulked and went back to where Lou was. The boys were gonna be onstage for another while, so I went on twitter. I hadn't been on in ages, although I do have over half a million followers, which means a lot of hate. Hence the reason I am avoiding it.

'I think Jenny is meant for Niall tbh..' Isn't she cute? I favourited her tweet and moved on.

'Niall and Jenny are super cute, I want a relationship like them' I favourited hers too.

'I bet Niall watches football, drinks beer and ignores Jenny. I'd ignore her too.' I laughed at her jealously, she obviously was so I quoted the tweet and added; 'He shares his beer with me so it's okay :) @NiallOfficial'

'Jenny wears too much makeup.' ...Says the one who has enough makeup on in her icon to support the whole country.

'Jenny is beautiful, everyone needs to back the fuck away.'

'If Jenny hurts Niall, I will hunt her down and use her for bait.' I quoted the tweet and added; 'Don't worry, I'm in it for keeps ;)' Not a few seconds later she was freaking out.

When people knew I was online they began tweeting me questions. But I was in no mood to answer them. I just wanted to see Niall and tell him what's going on.

To pass the time I read through some more tweets.

'I don't even care what you all think, Niall and Jenny were made for each other'

'Do u guys see the way Niall looks at Jenny, he is totally in love sigh'

'I just want Niall to look at me once the way he looks at Jenny like here' And there was a picture attached of Niall and I last week out together. I was looking at the camera and laughing but Niall was looking at me. He was smiling, his eyes crinkling in the photo. It was a cute photo. I saved it to my camera roll like I always do with pictures of Niall and I.

I even have an album with just us.

I read a few more and then Niall came off stage. "Can we go back to the hotel now?" Niall asked Paul.

"Nope, on your tour bus now." Paul told him and Niall sighed.

"I wanted to go to a hotel tonight." Niall groaned.

"You can tomorrow." Paul replied as Michael came into the room and smiled at us. Weird.

"Can Jenny come with me on the tour bus?" Niall asked. Michael thought about it for a minute before replying.

"Seperate beds, I'm trusting you." He stated and Niall nodded. Why is he being so soft all of a sudden? I didn't have time to ponder over the question because Niall was dragging me out of the room. All I want to do is tell him and for him to tell me everything will be alright.

All of us piled onto the bus and sat in the common area. "Niall." I started, standing in front of him.

"S'wrong babe, you've been awful quiet." Niall grabbed me around the waist, pulling me to sit on his lap.

"I wanna talk to you." I said in a barely audible voice. He looked a little startled. Guess when someone wants to talk it always scares the other person.

"You're scarin' me." He chuckled. "You're not leaving me are you?"

"Haha, she's seen how small your dick is so now she's leaving." Harry teased and Niall shot him a glare.

"If I were leaving because of his size it would be because it's too big." I replied and Niall started laughing. I enjoy boasting his ego.

"Ohhhh." Liam ended it with a laugh.

"Come on." Niall smiled and aided me to stand up, then leading me down to our bunks. "What's wrong?" He sat in his bunk, I followed.

I sighed before speaking. "I got accepted into college."

"Oh my God, great!" Niall hugged me. "But wait," He pulled back. "Why aren't you happy?"

"Michael won't let me go." I pulled my sleeve over my knuckles.

"What?" Niall almost yelled. "You're kidding?"

"No." I quietly said.

"Why won't he?"

"'Cause I have a contract." I sighed, a tear rolling down my cheek. At first I didn't want to go but now that someone has told me I can't go, it makes me want to go a lot more.

"Jen, don't cry." Niall wrapped an arm around me. "If he doesn't let you, I will get you into that college next September, okay?"

"But that's a whole year away! I wanna go now, it's not like I do anything here anyways." I began to cry.

"Hey, I bet in a years time we will be sitting together asking where that year went." He tried to assure me but I shook my head.

"No, I want to go this year, I am not even needed here." I said, growing frustrated.

"Shush, calm down." He wrapped his arms around me. "And I need you here." He kissed the top of me head. I removed myself from his embrace.

"No, you don't. You'd be fine without me, everyone is fine without me and I just wanna go Niall, I wanna go to college and have a life!" I yelled.

"Babe, please, calm down okay? I will get you into that college, okay? I promise, whether it be this year or next I'll get you there because it's what you want and I promise I'll get you whatever you want." He replied, making me feel warm inside.

"I wanna go this year." I firmly said.

"I'll try my best." He kissed my cheek, which had a few tear stains on it. "I will talk to Michael tomorrow."

"He won't listen." I sighed.

"He might surprise us." Niall said and I shook my head, tears threatening to spill again. I don't know why I was getting upset all of a sudden, I just was. "I have an idea, it might cheer ya up, go make some popcorn and come back and I'll put on a movie here." Niall instructed me and I solemnly nodded.

I went to the kitchen and made it, then proceeded to bring the bowl back to him. He had a movie on on the small TV in the wall at the bottom of the bunk. He pressed play and lay back against the pillows. He patted the vacant space beside him and I rested next to him, balancing the bowl of popcorn on his torso. He took a handful and it sat precariously. I moved it back to the centre of his torso and he laughed.

"Why are ya putting it there?" He asked.

"Where else would I put it?" I asked and he shrugged. I didn't eat any popcorn, I didn't feel well but Niall had no problem finishing off the bowl before half the movie was even over.

"Wait, pause it, I'm cold." I said.

"Why do I have to pause it? Get under the covers." Niall said, throwing a piece of popcorn in the air and cheering in triumphant when he caught it in his mouth.

"I wanna put my pyjama's on."

"Did you not see what I just done?" He asked.

"Yes, I saw and it was pathetic." I said and he glared at me.

"Rude." He folded his arms then flung a piece of popcorn at me, hitting me in the forehead. "Bull's eye." He smirked and I cocked my head giving him a shut-the-fuck-up-before-I-hit-you glare.

I got out of the bunk and searced for that onesie I bought ages ago but have yet to wear. I retrieved it and closed Niall's curtain shut so he couldn't see me changing. I know we've both seen each other changing, not to mention naked but I still feel a little shy and I don't wanna cross any boundaries.

Although Niall wasn't thinking on any boundaries as halfway through I saw a finger curling around the curtain and he peaked through the crack. "Niall." I warned and he closed the curtain again, but not a few seconds later he was giggling and peaking through again but luckily I was pulling the onesie up my body.

"A onesie?" He laughed and I turned scarlet. "You're so damn adorable, c'mere." He extended his arms. I climbed back in next to him and snuggled into his side. He kissed my neck delicately, gripping me tighter. "I love cuddling ya."

"Then cuddle me, don't kiss." I pushed his head away and he let out an unmanly whine.

"I like kissing you too." He reattatched his lips to my neck.

"No." I climbed on his lap and shuffled down between his legs.

"What are you doing?" He laughed and I settled down, laying my head on his hip.

"You can't kiss me down here, I wanna watch the movie, you can kiss me after."

"Well, now I can't see the movie because your fucking legs and in the way." He said and I giggled but moved them. "You're so contrary." He played with my ponytail. "I can't cuddle you down there either."

"I'm comfy." I smiled. "Now shh, I wanna watch the movie." I said and he rolled his eyes. Niall bent his leg and tried to put his foot in my face. "Fuck off." I covered my face while he laughed. He failed to get it in my face but it didn't restrain him from attempting.

"If you're lying down there you're gonna get my feet in your face." He teased and I rolled over, hiding my face in his thigh.

"You fucker."

"Don't be rude." He said as I turned around. I sat up and shuffled down the bottom of the bunk away from him. "Great, now you're in the perfect place for me to do this." He rubbed his foot in my face. I screamed and slapped his leg while he laughed.

"You're cruel." I tried to move away from him but I moved the wrong way and ended up falling out of the bunk.

"Oh my God." He burst out laughing. "Are you okay?" He swung his legs over the edge and jumped down to my side.

"What was that bang?" Louis asked, coming into the room.

"She fell out of the bunk." He explained, trying not to laugh.

"Yes, because you were putting your fucking foot in my face!"

"Oh Niall." Louis chuckled and went to help me but he pushed him away.

"I can help her up." Niall declared and hooked his hands under my armpits, lifting me up. I punched him in the stomach once I was standing. "Ow! What was that for?" Niall asked, clutching his stomach.

"That's for pushing me out of the bunk with your smelly feet!" I said and got back into the bunk where the movie was still playing.

"I know you love me really." Niall grinned sitting behind me and manoeuvring my body so I was seated on his lap, in his welcoming arms.

"Yeah, but you're still a bastard." I muttered.

"The best kind though." He beamed, kissing my neck again "Jen?"

"Yes?"

"I promise I'll do my best to get you into that college, okay?" He asked me and I turned around in his lap to face him.

"Sorry for yelling at you earlier, I was just angry at Michael, not you." I softly said.

"I would be angry too, it's okay." He pecked my cheek.

"But Niall, if I go to college that means I have to leave you." I reminded him.

"As long as you're happy, I'll be fine, don't worry about me." He stroked my cheek.

"I love you too much." I hugged him tight. He didn't have to say anything in return, the warm, comforting hand on my back was words enough for me.
