The concert tonight seemed less lively than usual but that was probably due to my dull mood. Even though we were only in the middle of Fool's Gold, it seemed like I'd sat here for forever. I didn't really want to be here anymore. I could see out of the corner of my eyes the worried glances that Liam kept shooting at me. I ignored them as best as I could and looked out at the crowd in front of me. They waved and I waved back with nearly zero emotion on my face.
I was contemplating the idea to just lie down and look up at the night sky before Louis came running over to us. He vigorously tapped our shoulder to get our attention, as if him running wasn't loud enough.
"What's up?" Liam asked tiredly. Maybe I wasn't the only one who thought that this concert had been going on for ages.
"She's here!!"
"Who is?" I didn't know that Louis was expecting someone.
"Emma you idiot!"
Liam and I turned to Louis as if he'd suddenly grown a second head. What the heck... was he high or something? Hadn't we already established that she wasn't here?
"Even look at her seat! She's sitting in her seat and I swear to God that I am not lying!"
The three of us all turned our heads to the front of the stage and looked at the front row. One of the spotlights immediately hit the crowd at the front, as if the lighting team knew exactly what we were doing. All the girls were screaming and crying, trying to shove the barricades away but what caught my eye were two girls, right in the middle of the row, talking to each other.
One of them brushed their hair behind their right ear before looking up to the front. Her eyes immediately met mine and I could see the shock in them, just as she saw the shock in mine.
I stood up and walked a couple of steps forward to the middle of the stage to get a closer look and sent a silent plea to God that my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.
It was her.
Emma.
And suddenly the concert came to life. The cheers seem to grow wilder and louder and my heartbeat started beating to the booming sounds from the band behind me.
The last chorus played and the boys stood up and joined me where I was. They were all smiling for me and I received a light punch on my left arm from Niall but none of the really mattered. I paid attention to the last two lines of the song though, that's for sure.
But I don't regret falling for you
Fool's Gold
As we hit that last note, the lights went out and my music went out with a bang. Those two simple lines, 9 small words reminded me of our relationship. I would never, could never regret falling for her. She made love seem like such a fine and majestic art that was only made for the two of us.
Whenever I was with her, I felt most like myself. When I'm in One Direction, we all have this facade on us which makes us seem like who we are. It's just a small snippet of us revealed to the world.
The stage underneath us began to lower us down under the stage. Everyone was busying themselves with all the tasks they had to make the concert look amazing. We made our way back up to the front and took our places. I stood in the middle with Zayn and Liam by my sides and Niall and Louis on the left and right. A girl on the side handed Niall an acoustic guitar and we all prepared ourselves for the lift.
The platform lifted at a slow pace with Niall plucking away at his guitar. As soon as the platform was level with the stage, that was my cue to sing.
