Niall's P.O.V. 

I ran through the crowd, weaving in between people. I stopped a young girl. 

"Excuse me, do you know a Brielle?" 

She stared at me in shock. I took that as a no and ran off again. 

I stopped an older man who was coming from a Starbucks. "Excuse me, do you know a girl named Brielle?" 

The man laughed and said, "You mean Brielle from Starbucks? She's performing right now!" 

"Thanks," I said. "HARRY!" I yelled. "I found her!"  

Within a few minutes, Harry appeared from the crowd, his hair even more messed up and his clothes rumpled. 

"Next time, can you just call me?" He asked, trying to clean himself up a bit. "I got mobbed."  

"Sorry mate," I said. "But I found her!" 

"Did you?" Harry said sarcastically. "That's nice." 

I rolled my eyes and walked towards Starbucks, Harry following me.

When I walked in the door, I saw a girl finishing strumming a guitar. I sucked in a breath like I'd been sucker-punched. It was the girl, Brielle. She was more beautiful that before.

"That was the A Team by Ed Sheeran," she said. "Next is Heart On My Sleeve by Olly Murs, one of my all time favorite artists ever."

She began to strum a song that I didn't know.

You think you've heard this before

I'll try and say it differently 

As long as it comes naturally to me 

It's been making me sad

'Cause I can't find a better way 

Speak the words I wanna say to you 

Know how I love you 

You know I need you

And I want you to know 

Won't let you down, no, I can't let go 

And I want you to see 

Every day I wear my heart on my sleeve 

On my sleeve

It's been driving me mad 

Consistent tones and constant drones 

Keep pulling me back inside my head 

Nothing matters at all

The world will keep on spinning 'round 

All these feelings keep on pouring out 

Oh, how I love you 

Oh, how I need you

And I want you to know 

Won't let you down, no, I can't let go 

And I want you to see 

Every day I wear my heart on my sleeve

Ooh, I try to write the words down 

Ooh, before they're lost and won't come out 

Oh, please help me save my soul

Yeah, I want you to know 

Won't let you down, no, I can't let go 

And I want you to see 

Every day I wear my heart on my sleeve

Heart on my sleeve, heart on my sleeve 

Heart on my sleeve, yeah

No, I can't let you go, can't let you go 

Oh, I want you to know I won't let you down 

Every day, yeah, I can't let go 

I wear my heart on my sleeve

She had a beautiful voice. It took me to another place, one I only went to when I was singing. I found myself swaying to the music. 

"Next is a song I love, personally not a lot of people know it, but it's by an awesome band, Coldplay. I'll be singing the Scientist. 

She looked at her guitar as she strummed. I did that all the time. Harry tapped at my shoulder.

"What?" I snapped.

Harry raised his hands in surreder. "Just wondering if it was her."

I nodded and turned back to the stage. 

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

You don't know how lovely you are

I had to find you, tell you I need you

Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions

Oh, let's go back to the start

Running in circles, coming up tails

Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy

It's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh, take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures

Pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science, science and progress

Don't speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me

Oh when I rush to the start

Running in circles, chasing in tails

Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy

Oh, it's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ah ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

I sat down at a table so I could listen properly.

Brielle's P.O.V.

I finished strumming to the Scientist and looked at the crowd. It seemed to grow. I went from performing once to performing once a day, five days a week, a regular gig, singing ten songs. I was on my ninth and I was hoping I could get through it without crying.

"That was the Scientist by Coldplay, one of the best bands ever and my next song is by an American singer, but that doesn't matter to me cause she's freaking awesome. This is Who Knew by Pink. And for all those who still think I'm a murderer, this is for James."

I took a deep breath and started playing. This was more of a piano song, so I really didn't play that much. 

You took my hand, you showed me how

You promised me you'd be around

Uh huh, that's right

I took your words and I believed

In everything you said to me

Yeah huh, that's right

If someone said three years from now

You'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them out

Cause they're all wrong

I know better

Cause you said forever

And ever, who knew?

I took a deep breath and tried to control my tears.

Remember when we were such fools

And so convinced and just too cool

Oh no, no no

I wish I could touch you again

I wish I could still call you a friend

I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now

For they're long gone

I guess I just didn't know how

I was all wrong

But they knew better

Still you said forever and ever

Who knew? Yeah yeah

I'll keep you locked in my head

Until we meet again

Until we, until we meet again

And I won't forget you my friend

What happened?

If someone said three years from now

You'd be long gone

I'd stand up and punch them out

Cause they're all wrong

I held out the note and looked at the crowd. Tears were starting to blur my eyes.

And that last kiss I'll cherish

Until we meet again

And time makes it harder

I wish I could remember

But I keep your memory

You visit me in my sleep

My darling, who knew?

My darling

My darling, who knew?

My voice cracked and I swallowed hard.

My darling I miss you

My eyes were now swimming with tears, and one dripped onto my face.

My darling, who knew?

My voice gave way and I whispered the last line.

Who knew?

The tears now started falling and I choked out, "I'm sorry," before running offstage.

I managed to get through the door to my dressing room before collapsing on my chair, bawling my eyes out. Why would I try and sing a song like that? I knew I would start crying and now I embarressed myself in front of everyone. I'm such an idiot. Addie slipped in the door, a huge smile on her face.

"Hey Bri," she said. Her smile faded as she saw me crying. "Oh Bri."

Addie slipped down and sat down next to me, letting me cry into her shoulder. After a couple minutes, I was cried out. I sat up and sniffed.

"Someone wants to meet you," she said gently.

"Okay," I said, sitting up and wiping my face. I tried to smile. "Send them in."

Addie got up and left. A blond boy walked in. He looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't pin-point where I saw him before. 

"Hi," I said.

"Hi," he said. He had an Irish accent, and I have to admit, it was kinda hot.

"I'm Brielle," I said. "Did you see-"

"Yeah," he said, clearing his throat, looking uncomfortable. "You have a beautiful voice."

"Thanks," I said.

There was an awkward pause. "I'm Niall Horan, by the way." He looked at me like I should know this name, but I didn't.

"Nice to meet you," I said.

"Um, I really only came because I have to ask you something," Niall said. He held out a purple book. "Is this yours?"

I looked closer. It was my diary. I snatched it from him. "Where did you get this?!" I asked angrily. "This is my diary! I lost it at the bridge!" A sudden thought struck me. "Niall... you saved me! Why didn't you give this back to me?"

Nial looked uncomfortable. "I tried, but you didn't hear me and I didn't know your name!"

"How did you find me?" His silence told me everything. "You read my diary?" I asked, horrified. "That was my personal diary!"

"I'm sorry, but it was the only way to find you!" Niall apologized.

"Great, now you think I'm a freak," I said, flopping down on my chair.

"I don't think you're a freak," Niall said, sitting next to me.

I was quiet for a moment. 

"Now that that's over, I have something to ask you," Niall said. I looked at him. "Willyogooutwime?'

"Sorry?" I asked. I hadn't understood a word of what he just said.

Niall took a deep breath and looked me full in the face. "Will you go out with me?"

Sorry, long time no see! I was really busy all weekend, so here's an extra long chapter to make up for it.  Niall and Brielle finally met! Do you think Brielle will say yes?????? Comment what you think!
