(Ava’s POV)

        “Okay spin around one more time for me.” Shelby said looking me up and down. I just rolled my eyes at her and spun around one more time. It was my birthday today. Also the day of the One Direction concert, and she insisted on coming over to make sure that I looked my best. I don’t see what she is freaking out about so much, I mean it’s not like the boys are going to fall madly in love with me, and propose on the spot. By tomorrow morning I will most likely be just another fan. Not that it wouldn’t be nice to have them fall in love with me.

        “Come on Shelby I look fine. You have been getting me ready for the past two hours. Am I done now?” I was actually starting to get annoyed with the pampering. I just like to do things the simple way, but that’s not my best friend. No, she likes to do everything precisely the way she pictured it.

        “Yes your finally done.” She said squealing bouncing up and down like a little girl.

        “Calm down Alice.” I said making fun of her.

        “Shush up Bella.” I just rolled my eyes again. She and I had become friends from our obsession of the book Twilight. Ever since then I compared her to Alice, because she is super hyper and love fashion. She called me Bella because, I was kind of the awkward girl, and don’t really care what I look like. It was just a silly thing we do.

        “So you ready to go?” I asked getting more excited by the minute.

        “Yeah just let me go get my keys.” She said running down the stairs. She insisted that she drive me to and from the concert so I could tell her all about it when it was over. Of course I accepted it was the least I could do.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

        The concert was amazing. You could feel the energy from all around. I don’t think that I have ever screamed that hard in my life. I just hope I have enough voice left over to actually talk to the boys. Once the arena cleared out a little I headed to the back of the stage only to get stopped by a security guard.

        “Can I help you?”

        “Um…yes I have backstage passes.” I said shyly holding them out to him. He took it from my hands examining it closely. After a minute or two he handed it back to me.

        “Go on ahead, but keep in mind the boys can’t stay long. They need to be on the road soon.” I nodded signaling that I understood.

        “I understand sir.” I said as he moved out of my way.

        “Just go down the hall. It’s the last door on the left.”

        “Thank you.”

        “No problem.” I started making my way down the hallway trying my best not to get lost. Which wasn’t very easy considering it wasn’t exactly a straight hallway. Finally I reached the last door on the left, and just like the security guard said I found five amazingly talented boys goofing around inside. Before I was even able to knock on the door all of their heads snapped in my direction. Almost immediately they stood up, and made themselves presentable. Then they came up to me one by one shaking my hand. All of them seemed to be calm and at ease, except for Niall who looked as if he was in pain. He was also stiff as a board.

         “So love you obviously know our names, what’s yours?” Liam asked politely.

        “Ava.” I stated simply.

        “That’s a beautiful name, for a beautiful girl.” I knew it was Harry without even looking in the direction the voice came from.

        “Nice try Styles.” I said trying to pretend that his flirting didn’t have an effect of me.

        “Oh feisty aren’t we?” Louis said jokingly. I just slapped him playfully on the arm like we had been friends for years.

         The boys and I have been talking for a good 20 minutes now, but even in that time of complete bliss I didn’t fail to notice that Niall hadn’t said a word the whole time. I would glance at him from time to time, but every time I looked at him all I saw was him looking around the room like he was trying his best to distract himself. It wasn’t a minute later that I stole another glance at Niall. This time was different though. When I looked at him we made eye contact, which let me know that he had been staring at me before then. I sighed letting out a huge breath that I didn’t know I was holding. When my breath hit his face he went even more rigid. The pain was once again evident in his eyes. The only thing that was different about this time was Niall let out a whimper of pain. I couldn’t stand seeing him like this. It broke my heart. I have always had a little soft spot for Niall, and watching him be in pain because of something I was doing was killing me. I got up to try and comfort him. I took one step near him when Zayn yelled from behind me.

        “AVA NO!” his effort was short lived though, because the second I took a step towards him Niall’s eyes locked with mine. I watched in terror as his eyes turned a deep red, his canine teeth growing out longer than normal. I didn’t even have time to register everything that was happening, to try to make sense of it all before he lunged at me, teeth bared. The second his body collided with mine the world went black.
