Finding Your Way **SEQUEL TO THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON**

Chapter Four

Previously On Finding Your Way:

Then I thought my heart actually stopped. Making dead I contact with me was my dad, Niall. He kept glancing over at me and I kept my eyes on him. My mom kept smiling for pictures along with their daughters. This made my emotions go berserk. My eyes began to water. The guys took a group picture together and then a large one with their families included. Right before went inside to the venue, my dad waved by and looked and smiled at me. He was probably waving by to the fans in general, but since he was looking and smiling at me when he did it, it felt like he was waving bye to me and me only.

How was I so close yet so far to my parents?

Matthew's POV

"Well boys, we gotta go sometime!" said Louis.

"Bye!" chorused my dad and his bandmates as the ran off the stage.

Wait.. that was it. Now what? They'd be on a bus to the next city and then where do I go? Back home? That defeated the purpose of me coming here in the first place. I had to act, and I had to act fast before they got onto that tour bus. I ran to a guard, Kristen calling my name behind me and following me while the rest of the arena was still shrieking.

"Excuse me..." I said to a tall guard. He looked pretty important. I quinted my eyes as I strained them to read his name tag. "Err.. Mr. Paul sir... Is there anyway you could get me to see Niall?" I asked hopeful.

Paul wore a compasionate expression on his face. "No can do, man. Unless you have a pass, I can't allow anyone to see any of the guys." he said.

I blinked back the tears in my eyes as I tried to think of something. Anything to allow me access backstage. "Please," I pleaded, "You don't understand!"

"You don't even have to tell me. I know, you're a fan and your sister loves them so your swiping the sympathy card on me so you both can meet them. I am sorry but neither of you have passes and I can't-"

"BUT HE'S MY DAD YOU HAVE TO LET ME."

Seconds later, the expression on Paul's face fell as he came to realization. Surely he remember my birth. He has been One Direction's manager since the beginning. Although he is getting older now and with time people forget things, he would have to remember the time when the tabloids went crazy because his Niall Horan's squeaky-clean boy band image went down the toilet.

"M-Matthew?" Paul stuttered. I nodded in responce.

Paul embraced me into a hug. I know he was there the day I was born, I know he knows how important it is to me and my parents both that we meet again.

"We've missed ya, buddy. Where yeh been?" He asked.

"America." I said sadly. "I love my family there, but I need this.. I need Niall and Sarah. I want them in my life."

Paul nodded and put his hand on the back of my shoulder and led me out of the arena, through a door, and into a hallway. I motioned for Kristen to follow, which she did.

The three of us stopped infront of a wooden door. The wood was light, nicely finished, with a glossy glare. My eyes followed to the top of the door where there was a gold star taped to it that read, "Niall".

Paul knocked twice on the door. "Niall?" He called.

"Hm?" Responded someone from inside.

"You have a visitor." Paul said.

"Come in." he said.

Paul slowly opened the door and I motioned for me to step in. I saw a glint of something in his eyes.

Confusion? Realization? I wasn't sure.

I finally spit out something to end the awkward silence.

"Uh, hi.. Dad."
