The Tide {NH + ZM}

Chapter 4:

Harry's perspective

The atmosphere of the concert that night was crazy; huge screams were coming from every corner of the room. I could tell that the boys were having as much fun as I was. Niall always does this thing where he winks at me, if he thinks it is a good show; cheeky little git. We always come away from amazing shows with the biggest adrenaline rush. The vibe after the show are amazing. I wish we were able to meet more fans though, but the management won't let us. After a show, we always say that performing is the best part of our job, we love it so much and the fans obviously. Sometimes I just wish the management would let us off a bit though. We have only just finished touring and another album is coming out in a few months! We wanted to do a quick pop up show at a couple venues, because we don't really have much to do now to be honest. We'll start tour again soon after the next album comes out, so we're just filling the space really.

Half way through the show, we were performing Rock Me, I thought I saw something going on in the crowd. A ton of people were shuffling around in one section of the audience; it was hard to tell what was going on because everyone was stood up. I looked round at the others, but no one had noticed. I moved to the other side of yeh stage to get a better look. OH MY GOD! Did someone just faint?! I signalled to Louis, then he grabbed Niall and Zayn, Liam noticed not soon after. We knew they wouldn't let us, but we all tried to signal to the management,that we wanted to stop the music and make sure this girl was ok. Of course they made us carry on, fucking idiots! Did they not want us to make sure this girl was alright?. A huge circle was built around the girl who had fallen into her seat. I could see security rushing over to the scene, telling people to give the poor girl some space. Luckily, it looked like she had a friend that could help her. I could see the security carrying the girl away and her friend trying to get through the crowds behind them, whilst still trying to focus on our performance. Most of the crowd noticed that we looked concerned,but we always try to make sure we put on an amazing performance, no matter what, and this was where the no matter what comes in.
"We should make sure that girl is ok, after the show," I whispered to Louis after we finished the song.

Azia's perspective

My head ached so bad and I had this feeling in my stomach. I knew exactly what just happened. I hate it when this happens in public. Everyone rushed round and makes a big fuss. I'm not embarrassed, as such, just more humiliated. I can't tell anyone the reason why I faint and pass out all the time. Abi knows, of course, and Will, but no one else.
Will. Wow I miss him so much. I'm still not over the fact that he broke up with me. He didn't even give me a reason, which makes it even worse. But I can't think about him right now. I promised myself that I would focus on study's and that meant no boys this year. Or girls. I don't know. I'm kinda of confused. I haven't told Abi this, because I don't want her to make it a big deal, but I think I like girls. I'm not sure. I don't want to be judged. Will would have understood. He came out as pan in year 11. I wish he was here, so I could talk to him. I really considered unblocking him on everything. But I made a promise to Abi that I wouldn't. My head was pounding, as my eyes fluttered open. I was a bit disoriented and couldn't tell where we were. I tried to sit up, but someone pushed me back down. Abi came into focus, as I started to take in my surroundings.

Abigail's perspective

We were somewhere backstage now and Azia was starting to wake up.
She has stirred a few times, but she hasn't woken up properly yet.
"Oh my god, Az are you alright?"
"What happened?" Azia asked looking around, confused.
"You fainted during Rock Me, but we are backstage now, you are gonna be fine."
"We need to go home, it is late." Azia panicked and started to get up, but I gently pushed her back down.
"Hey, hey, lie down, relax. We are not leaving until you are completely better, have some water." Azia has a tendency to constantly say she was fine when she clearly wasn't. It was loud back wherever we were, the show was almost finished though. I hope we didn't disturb the performance too much, I could clearly see that we were distracting the boys; that was so embarrassing. Security had carried Azia to a room backstage and put her on a sofa. I think it was some sort of dressing room but I wasn't sure. I think there was a sign on the door outside but I wasn't going to leave Azia's side at all, even just to check the sign, I couldn't leave her alone like this.

About 30 minutes later

The door opened and HARRY FUCKING STYLES cam walking in, looking concerned and relieved at the same time.
Oh my god, Harry just opened the door, oh my god, oh my god, don't freak out, stay relaxed, play it cool, I felt like I needed to pinch myself to wake myself up.
"Hi, I'm Harry. I hope you don't mind me coming in, but the boys and I wanted to make sure you were ok. We are all running around looking for you both."
I took a deep breath and said, "Hi, um, thank you. I'm Abigail by the way, and this is Azia." I couldn't get anymore words out, I just couldn't. Harry moved over to Azia and knelt down to where she was; he was so kind.
"You alright Azia? What happened out there?"
"I just fainted, don't worry." Again, Azia trying to make it out that she was completely fine.
"Good, glad to hear. Did you two enjoy the concert? Well, as much as you saw, sorry." We all chuckled at this remark.
"Yh it was amazing, you boys are so good at performing," Azia blurted out, I nodded my head in agreement.
"Well thanks very much. I'm sorry, excuse me one second." Harry got up and started walking towards the door. No way this happened, I just talked to Harry bloody Styles; the butterflies in my tummy were going crazy and I could feel my face going redder by the second. Azia and I gave each other an excited, yet nervous look as Harry walked out. I could tell she was thinking the exact same thing as me. Is this a dream? Did that just happen?
"BOYS, OI, THEY ARE IN YOUR DRESSING ROOM ZAYN!" No way, Harry just shouted to the rest of them, AND WE WERE IN ZAYN'S DRESSING ROOM. So this is what Zayn smells like, pretty decent, actually no, it was breathtaking. Was that a bit too far? The look of shock on Azia's face, when she heard that this was Zayn s dressing room. I could tell she was freaking out.
"Sorry I'm just grabbing the other boys, I hope you don't mind. They all wanted to make sure you were fine too."
"No, no it is fine, you could probably guess that we want to meet them." Luckily, Harry laughed at my comment, I thought it sounded a bit obsessive. I could hear Harry whispering to the boys about what happened, then, first walked in Harry, then Louis, then Liam, then Zayn, then Niall, giving me a little smile as he skipped in, I don't think my tummy has ever fluttered so much.
"Oh, so you have inhabited my dressing room then have you," Zayn joked to us.
"Yh sorry about that."
Azia was just looking at the ground. She couldn't speak.
"No worries, it will be nice to have some company."
"This is Abigail, and this is Azia," Harry pointed to us whilst saying our names, he just said our names, wow.
"Where have you two travelled from?" Said Niall, starting the conversation.
"We both go to Uni in in Birmingham."
"Oh cool, that is really close to where I come from; Wolverhampton," Liam joined in the conversation. I don't know what Louis was doing; he was doing something with his hands, honestly I'm not surprised. Even though I had never met the boys I felt like I knew them.
"Louis!" Someone shouted for him.
"Huh?" Louis said confused.
"LOUIS! Get out here! You fucked up your mic when you chucked it walking off stage!"
"Excuse me, I'm in trouble, pretty average thing." We all laughed as he walked out but jeez Niall was laughing like someone just slipped on a banana; anything could make that man laugh.
