***Liam's POV***
The guys and I are back stage with Carly's band getting ready to start this show. Carly was supposed to be here by now. I am getting worried. What if something happened? Even though Louis told me her flight was delayed the show had to go on without her; so when it was time for Abby and the gang to go on they went on. Abby usually has a set playlist of songs she is going to sing, but when I hear a different song than 'Haunted' I am shocked. It is a new song. I can hear her singing the whole way from the room we are in.
"This is my confessional Seven seconds 'til I hit the ground, But you saved my life Now I feel indestructible So protected when you're around, Yeah, you saved my life You make me; you make me feel so incredible You and I, you and I feels – unbelievable You make it, you make it so undeniable A million hearts, you're the only one Who lights it up like I'm glowing in the dark A million hearts, you're the only one Who lights me up, like I'm glowing in the dark This is my confessional Seven seconds 'til I hit the ground But you saved my life Now I feel indestructible So protected when you're around Yeah, you saved my life You make me; you make me feel so incredible You and I, you and I – feels unbelievable You make it, you make it so undeniable A million hearts, you're the only one Who lights it up, like I'm glowing in the dark A million hearts you're the only one Who lights me up, like I'm glowing in the dark This is my confessional Seven seconds 'til I hit the ground But you saved my life Now I feel indestructible So protected when you're around Yeah, you saved my life A million hearts, you're the only one Who lights it up, like I'm glowing in the dark A million hearts you're the only one Who lights me up, like I'm glowing in the dark A million hearts, you're the only one Who lights it up, like I'm glowing in the dark A million hearts you're the only one Who lights me up, like I'm glowing in the dark"
After the song is over she sings 'All You Had to Do Was Stay', 'Red', 'Wildest Dreams', 'I Wish You Would', 'How You Get the Girl', and 'Forever and Always'. Usually after that last song they would walk off the stage and then it would be our turn, but this time the stadium went dark. There is tons of cheering thinking we were coming on, but the guys and I don't move. Harry, Niall, Zayn and I are confused. We look over at Louis and he is smirking. I know that look. Suddenly music starts playing. I know this song from anywhere. It is Carly's song. That means she's here. I quickly run to the stage so I can see. She starts singing and I feel like I am in heaven.
"The way you move is like a full on rainstorm And I'm a house of cards You're the kinda reckless that should send me running but I Kinda know that I won't get far And you stood there in front of me just Close enough to touch Close enough to hope you couldn't see What I was thinking of Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes, baby As the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile My mind forgets to remind me You're a bad idea You touch me once and it's really something You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be I'm on my guard for the rest of the world But with you, I know it's no good And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes, baby As the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile I run my fingers through your hair And watch the lights go wild Just keep on keeping your eyes on me It's just wrong enough to make it feel right And meet me up the staircase Won't you whisper soft and slow I'm captivated by you, baby Like a firework show Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes, baby As the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile And the sparks fly Oh, baby, smile And the sparks fly"
Once the song finishes Carly and her band take a bow. When they walk off stage I am still standing there waiting for her to walk up to me and hug me or even kiss me, but I get nothing. Her band all give her one big huge hug and the guys give her a hug also. I am just standing there frozen. Why aren't I walking up to her? Suddenly my eyes catch her and she's looking right at me. This is your chance. I take a step towards her, but that's when she takes off. I am about to chase after her, but Harry grabs my arm. "Mate we have to go." He nudges me to walk on the stage, but all I really want to do is go after Carly. I can tell in her eyes she wants me to chase her, but this damn show has to go on. Maybe I can talk to her afterwards.
***Carly's POV***
It felt so good singing my song to thousands of people. I thought I was going to be nervous, but I wasn't when I noticed Liam was watching. He's all I could think about, but after we walk off stage something just clicks inside of me. I guess it is all the pain that I am feeling, but when I looked into Liam's eyes I saw hope. Maybe we still have a chance, but I know deep down he is still with Dani. That's what the newspapers say anyway. And their wedding is just in a couple of weeks. It was supposed to be our wedding. That's when I panicked when I notice he is moving towards me. I have to get out of here. I run off and I know he won't follow me since One Direction is going on stage next. I don't stop running until I come upon a bench. I sit down and try to slow my breathing. "Wow you run fast. You need to let the pregnant girl catch up." Abby comes up huffing and puffing. She sits beside me; practically collapse on me. I chuckle at how dramatic she is. "You didn't have to follow me. I just needed some air." I stare up at the sky and see a bunch of stars. "You were amazing singing your song. The audience loved you." She gives me a big smile. "Yeah. I see everyone is getting along." I blurt out. "Oh yeah. I did give Liam an ear full though..." Abby's voice fades. I thought she was going to continue, but she doesn't. I turn so I am facing her now. She's just staring straight ahead. "Abs what's wrong?" I put my hand on her shoulder. She turns to me and gives me a small smile. "Carls, Liam really loves you. I don't know what joke he's trying to play, but I know deep down he still wants you." I stand up shaking my head. "That can't be true. He's marrying Dani." "Maybe he's just doing it for his father's company. Isn't that why they set you two up in that arranged marriage in the first place?" "Yes, but-" "Carls arranged or not he loves you. Don't keep pushing him away like this." Abby stands up. She keeps getting bigger. I smile at that. "Oh and I told everyone I'm pregnant." "How did they all take it?" "Well you know...Nicole and Christy were happy. Ryder and Dylan are throwing question after question at me." Abby giggles. "And when I told them that Lucas was the father I think Dylan wanted to cut his balls off." We both laugh. "I don't know what's up with Dylan, but he's been acting really weird since he found out about you and Liam calling it off." "He wasn't too happy, was he?" It isn't really a question, but I know he is going to cause some trouble. "Did he hurt Liam at all?" "No, but I won't be surprised by the end of this tour he would hurt Liam in some way." Abby gives me a scared look. "I just don't like how he's becoming. First he kisses you and Liam punched him and now this. Seriously he gives Liam the death glare." I let out a little chuckle. "Liam better watch out. Abby and I just keep chatting on the bench not even going back to watch One Direction perform. Not like I really want too. I don't really want to see Liam's face right now. I love him, but my mind keeps drifting back to the fact that he's engaged to Dani and they're getting married soon. It breaks my heart even more, but maybe it's time to move on. Maybe it was a bad idea to come here.
