He could hear the girls shrieking and murmuring happily.

Marcel was loud as ever, he reminded the boys to be calm, to be nice and polite. He did that every M & G. He walked around and made the boys look fresh and cool. "Okay boys, go out now." He said.

Liam popped his head from behind a wall and the girls started to scream, from behind, Niall could see the flashing of lights and the sound of shutters of the camera that's clicking. He squeezed Addison's hand tightly.

"Niall," Marcel whispered beside him. "Are you sure she'll be okay?"

"She's going to be okay." Niall reassured his friend. He knows exactly what those worrying eyes meant, "I promise you she'll behave."

Marcel sighed. "Okay."

Niall went out to greet the flashing lights, he squinted his eyes but the surprised look on all of the girls' faces were clear. He understood they didn't expect to see her here.

The boys didn't even bother to support Niall - even Liam. They interacted to the other fans like nothing different is happening.

Then he heard murmurs going around and glares that pierced his back. He smiled at a girl that was standing and looking at him, and the smile wasn't returned.

Then he knew he was proven wrong, a large number of his fand still couldn't accept Addison.

Niall went behind the other boys with Addison. The lads were laughing, and Niall was upset as hell.

It was all mean staring and unpleasant murmurs around until a group of fans with '1D' painted on their faces came to each boys to ask for autographs and when they came to Niall, he didn't expect what was about to happen.

"Hi Niall!" A girl greeted politely. She turned her head to Addison and her smile widened. "Hi!" She greeted.

"Hi darling..." Addison said, smiling back.

"You're really gorgeous." Another girl said.

"Thanks love." Addison said, feeling flattered.

Niall's lips spread into a smile.

"You girls are looking wonderful." Addison complimented.

"Thanks!" They all said.

"Would you want to take a picture with Niall? I can take it." Addison suggested, stepping aside.

"Oh, no no, that's really mean for us, you're his girlfriend." A girl said.

"Oh, it's nothing love, you guys have done a lot for him, you deserve the best." Addison said. "Come on, jump in!"

Then all the girls went beside Niall as they gave Addison the camera. "Say cheese!"

"Cheese!" They said as she snapped a picture.

"Another one?" She asked. They nodded. "Okay, smile!" Then she snapped another picture with then having different poses.

"Thank you so much Addison!" A girl said, shaking hands with her.

As they went away, Niall's mood lightened, he looked at Addison and planted a quick kiss on her cheek. Fans like those girls are all he ever needed.

So Niall went around the room with Addison. He greeted everyone - except those mean girls on the corners - and introduced Addison to them, some people were even jumping up and down when Niall approached them.

"Can I touch your hair?" A fan asked.

"Yeah, sure." Niall smiled. It was common for him and for the other boys to be asked of such weird questions, a fan once even asked Liam if she could touch his earlobe.
