I should have said no.

I should have told Eleanor that I did not trust her.

But I didn't.

And now I am wearing a black, short, one sleeved, lace dress. I'm one of those girls that never wears dresses. Yet, here I am wearing one.

Danielle showed up about two hours ago. She kissed Liam and then ushered the two of us in a bedroom. Eleanor told the guys that we are going clubbing tonight. I have never been clubbing. Ever! They said that this will get Niall to admit his feelings to me. I think they are wrong. Going clubbing cannot make a guy confess his feelings.

"You look incredible!" Danielle says, coming up from behind me.

I bite my lip while staring at my reflection in the mirror. My hair has been curled to perfection. Danielle gave me the smokey eye look with a little bit of make up. Eleanor is letting me borrow a pair of heels that I can barely walk in. I'm going to sprain my ankle. I just know it.

"Can I just wear my converse?" I ask, wobbling on my heels slightly.

"No!" Danielle shouts. "The heels make your legs seem longer."

"Okay." Eleanor walks over to us. "I just texted Louis that we were ready."

Eleanor has a beautiful short sweetheart dress neckline. The top part of the dress is a white cream color and the bottom is black. Her heels are all back with a little white stitching. Her hair is up in a messy, but fancy bun with a few hairs hanging down.

Danielle is wearing a dark royal blue strapless dress that is matched with black heels. Her hair is naturally amazing already, so she just leaves it down.

They both look stunning.

I look awkward.

"I guarantee that Niall will say his true feelings for you." Eleanor snaps a picture of the three of us in the mirror.

"I think I'm going to go change!" I spin around, but Danielle and Eleanor both stop me.

"Stop!" Danielle drags me back. "You look gorgeous! Niall's jaw will probably hit the floor."

"Can I wear flats or something?" I beg, giving Danielle my puppy dog face. "Anything, but heels. I don't want a trip to the hospital."

Danielle sighs and exchanges a look with Eleanor. Please agree! I cannot walk in heels. If I'm supposed to 'make Niall jealous' I need to be comfortable. Not worried that I'm going to fall over.

"Okay, we'll make you a deal." Eleanor looks back at me. "You wear the heels for an hour and I'll bring a pair of your precious converse for you to change into. Deal?"

"Yes!" I jump forward and hug her. "Thank you so much!"

Eleanor laughs and hugs me back. "I pick out the shoes, though."

"Fine." I agree.

Eleanor spins around to look at the shoes I brought with me. Danielle fluffs my hair a little bit more. I can't believe I'm doing this. I would never have done something like this before. Danielle told me to pretend to flirt with a guy. I don't even know the definition of flirting. I can never tell when a guy likes me. Why would a guy like me?

"Give me your phone." Danielle holds out her hand.

"What? No." I shake my head. "What if I get lost or something?"

"With you dressed like that, one of the guys will always be with you. Most likely Niall after he gets Zayn to leave you alone." Eleanor continues looking through my shoes.

I hand Danielle my phone. When I refuse to let go, she slaps my arm. I let go of my phone and cross my arms. Danielle drops my phone in her clutch. I still can't believe I am doing this. This is so out of comfort level.

"Ready?" Danielle asks me, tucking her clutch under her arm.

I glance over my shoulder to see Eleanor carrying a medium sized purse. My converse must be in there. Good. These heels are already killing my feet. Danielle opens the door and steps in the other part of the suite. Eleanor walks ahead of me and grabs my hand dragging me with her.

The guys are already dressed and sitting on the couch watching tv. Harry and Louis are relaxing on the couch with their feet on the table. Zayn is walking around the room rolling up his sleeves on his button up. Liam is the first one to see us and hits Zayn in the stomach to get his attention. Where is Niall?

"Go change!" Zayn points back at the room.

The rest of the guys look up to see what Zayn is yelling about. Harry's mouth drops open when he sees us. Louis jumps up off the couch and hugs Eleanor. Awh. They are so cute. Liam pushes Zayn out of his way and goes up to Danielle.

"She's not changing, Zayn." Danielle crosses her arms and glares at him.

"Yes, she is. I am not allowing my little sister go to a club looking like that. I'm going to have to beat guys off of you with a stick. Go put on some sweatpants and a jumper." Zayn tells me.

"We were born on the same day." I remind him. "I'm not chang-"

I stop talking when I see Niall step in the room. He comes to a stop when he sees me. His mouth drops open. Niall is wearing black chinos with a blue button up shirt, that makes his eyes seem even more blue.

No one says anything for a few minutes. Eleanor and Danielle high five. Zayn is still glaring at my outfit. Liam and Louis can't take their eyes off of their girlfriends. Then Harry is still in shock on the couch.

Zayn turns around to see what I'm looking at. "Exactly my point!" He motions at Niall, who is checking me out. "Stop checking out my sister!"

Niall blinks and looks away, blushing. Zayn places his arm over my shoulder, protectively. There is no way that Zayn is going to leave me alone tonight. Niall glances back at me and smiles. A faint blush appears on my cheeks and I smile back.

"Stop!" Zayn points at Niall. "I saw that smile exchange."

"Are you really not going to leave her side all night?" Eleanor asks, leaning against Louis.

"Do you see how she looks? The guys will be swarming around her!" Zayn replies.

"We won't let her be alone." Liam tries to calm Zayn down.

"Yeah, one of us will always be by her side." Louis agrees.

"Fine." Zayn sighs, but keeps his arm around my shoulders. "Let's just go." Zayn pulls me towards the door.

I look over my shoulder to see Eleanor whispering to Niall. Dani winks at me. This will be a long night. Zayn won't leave me alone. He is too protective of me. I pull Zayn's arm off of my shoulders and grip it in my hands. I'm too wobbly in these heels.

"If it makes you feel any better, I'm not a fan of this dress or the heels." I whisper to Zayn.

"Just don't leave any of our sides. If you're not by me then be near Liam." Zayn leads me to the elevator.

"Why not Niall?" I frown up at him. "He won't hurt me."

One side of Zayn's mouth lifts up. "You finally realized that?"

"Yeah." I nod. "I trust him and I really like him, Zayn." I whisper.

Zayn groans. "Okay, I approve of whatever you guys are or what you will be. Three rules. One, do not leave Niall's side. Two, no drinking. Three, if Louis offers you a drink do not take it. He will try and be the sneaky one and give you alcohol."

I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him. "Thank you so much!"

"Repeat the rules for me." Zayn demands, hugging me back.

"Um. Don't leave Niall's side. No drinking and don't accept anything from Louis." I repeat for him.

"Don't wrinkle your dress!" Danielle says, getting on the elevator with Zayn and me.

I step out of Zayn's arms. Once everyone is on the elevator, Louis presses the lobby button. The elevator starts to descend and I clutch the closest person near me.

"I hate heels." I mumble under my breath.

The person I'm holding onto chuckles quietly. "You look beautiful." An Irish accent whispers.

I look up to see Niall grinning down at me. "Thanks." I blush.

We all walk over to the car. Well, it is actually a black Range Rover. Harry is driving with Zayn in the passenger's seat. Niall and I slide in the very back. Eleanor and Louis are sitting in front of us with their backs to us. Dani and Liam are sitting across from them in a seat that faces them.

I lean over the seat and snatch Eleanor's bag when she isn't looking. I pull out my converse she picked out for me and the socks. I put her purse back. I slide off my heels. I set the black heels on the seat next to me since I'm sitting in the middle with Niall by the window.

"What are you doing?" Niall whispers in my ear.

"Putting on better shoes. I have terrible balance in heels." I reply, pulling on the black socks. "Eleanor and Danielle will probably kill me, but I don't care."

Niall hands me the left shoe. "You really do look beautiful tonight. I mean you always look beautiful." He blushes.

I lean forward and kiss his cheek. "Thank you. You look quite handsome."

"I am warning all of you. Do not drink too much. We are going to Wet N' Wild tomorrow. If you have a hangover it's your own fault." Dani tells everyone in the car.

I finish tying my all black high top converse up. "I don't drink anyways."

"You're also underage." Zayn reminds me.

"Thank you for that, Captain Obvious." I comment back.

"Your welcome, Sergeant Sarcasm." Zayn retorts.

"Good one, Comrade Comeback." I smirk.

Zayn and I used to go on and on like this when we were younger. It kind of became our own thing. Mum would always get annoyed by it because we wouldn't stop until she yelled at us.

"Thank you, Senior Smart-"

"Keep it PG!" Louis shouts.

After ten more minutes of driving, we arrive at the club. Being with One Direction had it's advantages. We didn't have to wait in the line. We were ushered right in. The club is really dark inside with strobe lights flashing. There is a huge dance floor where people are dancing against each other.

Niall drapes his arm around my waist and pulls me close to his body. I do not mind at all. This place is really packed. Liam and Dani lead the way to a large booth for all of us to fit in. I start to sit down, but Eleanor stops me. What is she doing?

"Let's go dance!" She shouts over the music.

"Remember the plan." Dani mouthes.

They both grab my hands and drags me towards the dance floor. We squeeze through the crowd of people to a spot for us to dance. I start dancing with them and try to ignore the stares I'm probably getting from everyone. I am so glad I changed out of those heels. I would have not been able to dance with them on.

"Niall's watching you." Dani shouts over the music. I start to turn around to see if she's right. "Don't look!"

"Why not?" I ask.

"You'll have plenty of time to dance with him later. Now you have to make it jealous." Eleanor grins.

"How?" I ask them.

Eleanor and Danielle start to move away from me. Where are they going?! They disappear in the crowd. Oh no. Now I look like an idiot dancing by myself. I push through the crowd, wanting to get back to the table.

An arm sneaks around my waist and pulls me back into a hard chest. "Hello, gorgeous." A guy breathes down my neck.

I spin around and push him away from me. "Don't touch me." My breath catches in my throat.

"Can I buy you a drink?" He slowly checks me out.

I wrinkle my nose at him. "No."

"Awh. Come on, baby." He grabs my waist.

(Niall's POV):

"I just want you to know that whatever you and my sister are, I approve." Zayn surprises me. "Just don't run off to Vegas and get married."

A smile creeps up on my face. "Thanks, mate."

I scan the dance floor for Natalie. She didn't look so thrilled when Eleanor and Danielle dragged her off to go dance. It's been ten minutes and I haven't seen any of them for a few minutes. I spot Natalie looking scared with a guy holding onto her waist.

I jump up from the booth. "I'm gonna go get a drink."

"Is that code for see my sister?" Zayn teases.

I ignore him and rush to where Natalie is. Why is she all by herself? Eleanor and Danielle were supposed to stay with her. I don't even see either of them.

"Let me go." Natalie struggles in his tight hold.

I step in front Natalie. The guy let's go of her when he sees me. Natalie grips the back of my shirt in her hands. "I think you should leave."

The drunk guy shrugs. "Whatever. I'll go find someone else." He stumbles through the crowd.

"Thank you!" Natalie hugs me once I spin around. "I was so scared."

I hug her back just as tightly. I can't wait any longer. I wanted to wait a few days to make sure I wouldn't scare her off. That guy just showed me I can't wait any longer.

"I need to show you something." I pull away from Natalie.

Natalie's arms drop back down to her sides. "What is it?" She gazes up at me.

I lace our fingers together and walk out of the club. Natalie keeps up with me as I lead her away from the building. Natalie and I reach our car in a few minutes. The parking lot is dimly lit and quiet, giving me a good place to tell her.

"Where are we going?" Natalia clutches my hand tighter.

I come to a stop and turn to face her. Just say it, Niall. Natalie gazes up at me, looking confused. It's not that hard. Just do it. I take a deep breath.

"Everyone will probably kill me for saying this here, considering that it is a parking lot and nothing special, but.."
