Moments of Happiness

1

My name is Lauren Lavoie. Yes, Lauren from Vine. If you know my vines you should know that I absolutely LOVE One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer. I love them as people and their music. So when my sister and I got tickets to go see them, you can only imagine how excited I was. Never did I imagine what would happen to us at this absolutely amazing concert.

The week of the concert my sister and I flew down from our little town in Canada. We had gotten a hotel as close as we could, which was harder than you think, cause almost everything is filled with fans. We came down two days before so that we could also go sight seeing. We walked around and even met a few fans! I always love seeing people who I have helped or made happy. Well, the two days went fast.

The alarm woke us up at 5, Joanne slept right through it as usual. I turned it off and rolled over to grab my phone from the charger. I flipped to the music app and turned on One Directions album Four. Joey sat up immediately when No Control came on. I was already up so I made it into the bathroom first. After we had both showered and dressed, and spent about 30 mins doing our makeup, we went down to the little restaurant. We met a couple of friends that we had made who were going to the concert and ate quickly. After checking for the tenth time that I had the tickets we left.

LIAM ~ 3 Hours till the concert

We were all chillin in the green room backstage, waiting our turn for our hair to be done. Harry, then Louis, then I,and lastly Niall. Louis was in the chair and Harry and Niall were looking at our outfits for tonight, I was trying to take a nap. Trying is a relative term, failing is more like it. Louis was making Lous, our hair dresser, job hard by trying to dance and sing. Harry and Niall joined in while flinging clothes everywhere. I gave up when the door opened and 3 men from management walked in.

"Okay boys, your attention please. We have a special treat tonight for 2 of our guests. Here, Harry, pick a slip of paper from this bowl during the show after a few songs and announce it, and Niall you grab one a few songs after Harry does his. Got it?" One of them says. We all nod and they leave.

I wonder what the surprise is? Do they get to meet us after the show? Free merch? I guess I'll find out later, I think and go back to going over the set list. They decided to change the order at the last minuet. Oh well. I guess I ended up falling asleep because Harry shook me awake and told me that it was my turn in the chair. I checked the clock and saw that I had fallen asleep, I got a two hour nap. The other guys had let me sleep, thankfully, Niall knew I had trouble sleeping last night, so he probably told the others to not mess with me. Surprisingly Louis didn't do anything to me, he tends to be the main source of nap time jokes and pranks.

Lou got me fixed up quickly and I got dressed and ran after the guys to warm ups. We piled into the room and started our 15 minuet warm up, I was still yawning as we warmed up so Niall grabbed me one of the bottled coffees. That did the trick and soon we were doing the mic checks. As we normally do, we raced each other through the tunnel like hallways to backstage. Niall and I were neck to neck when I tripped over a cord and smashed into the wall. Niall kept going, knowing Harry would stop to make sure I was okay.

Everything hurt. I could feel blood trickling across my cheek from my nose. The breath was starting to come back when Louis sped past me, he looked back and saw Harry stop next to me. He knelt next to me and helped me sit up. One of the crew brought tissues and Harry helped me stand. We walked the last bit, not bothering to try to run to catch up. As we came in the stage door we passed the stacks of bottled water, extra battery packs and mics, and then Nialls guitars.

By the time we got to the guys the bleeding had stopped. I tossed the bloody tissues into a nearby trash bin and turned to the guys. Before I could even say anything Lou had rushed up with her makeup kit and hair supplies. She cleaned the blood I had missed and then put some cover around my eyes, they had already started to bruise. She fixed my hair then fixed the guys, she always has to. I don't know why she bothers doing it in the dressing room. She knows its only going to get messed up when we race.

We could hear the crowd cheering and screaming, some were even singing some of the songs from Four. It always got us excited. So we huddled and made a couple inside jokes to get the good energy flowing.

We each went to our opening spots and then the music started.
