May 2020

After joining a famous girl group, y/n finds out her celebrity crush is in the audience of one of the shows she'll be singing on (award show)

"You're on in 10 minutes." One of the stage directors pops his head in, catching all the girls attentions'.

"Thank you!" Leigh Anne says, waving him out of the room, getting ready to do their pre-stage rituals.

"Well come on then, you're apart of the team now." Jade waves the newest member over, as they all embrace in a group hug.

Y/n Y/l/n was the newest member of the infamous girl-group, Little mix. After the departure of Jesy Nelson in late 2019, Little Mix carried on as a three-piece, but they always felt like there was something missing in their tight-knit group. They thought they just needed a distraction for a while - writing more songs then you would believe to prepare for their first album after loosing a member, but eventually they realized that they just needed another partner in crime. They had a few ideas of people who would've fit in really well, but none of them were perfect enough for the girls.

Y/n happened to be friends with Perrie's little sister Caitlin, as she was only two years older then the youngest Edwards, she was never really a consideration. That all changed when the girls had gone for a night out at a karaoke bar with the members of Little Mix and some of their other friends. It was safe to say that Y/n blew almost everyone away with her cover of 'My heart will go on', and soon enough she got a call from one of Little Mix's managers, asking if she would be interested in auditioning. Of course she was, and she ended up getting picked to be in the group.

Needless to say, joining the group was a huge amount of pressure, and she knew that she would have to deal with a large amount of hate, because people would think that she's replacing Jesy, when she really wasn't. Of course the girls helped as much as they could, but there was still a expectation for Y/n to be the best of the best.

Today they were performing at the kids choice awards, which to the other girls wasn't that much of a big deal, but it was Y/n's first live performances and she was beyond scared.

"Okay, now we know that you're probably shitting yourself right now, but we promise that we'll have your back no matter what." Leigh-Anne says as she grabs my hand.

"And if you need me to sing your part for you, just give me a sign and I'll do it." Perrie says.

"And we have a surprise for you, not one that we particularly organized or knew about until an hour ago, but you should know that a particular band is sat in the audience tonight." Jade adds.

"Which one? I'm sure there are a hundred bands here tonight." I laugh, but soon the stage director pops in again, leading us to the stage.

Jade grabs my hand as we walk, rubbing it with her thumb, hoping to calm me down.

We stop at the entrance to the stage, making sure that we're in place.

"Also, we're doing Secret Love Song part two with a feature." Jade whispers to me. I instantly widen my eyes at her, knowing that I'll have to open if we do part one.

"Why didn't I know about it and who's the feature?" I ask, she just smirks and looks away.

"And now ladies and gentlemen, here to sing for us, we have Little mix!" Olivia Rodrigo introduces us. Jade takes my hand and pulls me onto the stage, deafening screams fill the arena, as we stand in a line in front of the piano, and the piano player. Once the screaming dies down, the piano starts. My instincts kick in quicker then I can understand, and soon enough I'm singing my part, with the other three looking at me with proud smiles.

(This is based off of The Jingle bell ball 2016, secret love song performance with Nathan Sykes.)

We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough

As you drive me to my house
I can't stop these silent tears from rolling down
You and I both have to hide
On the outside where I can't be yours and you
Can't be mine
But We know this
We got a love that is homeless

Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dancefloor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
Cause I'm yours

Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
Cause I'm yours

Suddenly everyone starts screaming again, making me slightly confused, but I just smile and wait for Leigh to start her verse, but a completely different voice sounds out through the speakers. Jade squeezes my hand, making me look at her, and follow her gaze to our left, where I see the familiar face, of a boy I've been crushing on since 2020.

It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
But we know this, we got a love that is homeless

Luke sings the verse effortlessly, as he walks over to the piano, taking over from our piano player, as he stares back at me.

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

I don't wanna live love this way
I don't wanna hide us away
I wonder if it ever will change
I'm living for that day
Someday

When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that
'Cause I'm yours, I'm yours

As I'm singing, I can't stop myself from staring at Luke, I felt completely star struck at this point, and it made my heart beat a thousand times faster when he looked at me.

Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours
Why can't we be like that
Wish we could be like that

All the fans screamed as we finished the song, which snapped me out of my Luke filled haze. I look to the crowd and wave out to everyone, as we make our way off the stage.

I notice that Luke went off the opposite way that we did, so I quickly pull the girls into a huddle.

"How could you not tell me that he was the feature!" I practically scream.

"Surprise!" Perrie claps her hands together, making me laugh.

"I appreciate it, but a heads up would've been ideal." I say to the girls, not actually angry anymore over the fact that I had just sang with one of my biggest celebrity crushes.

"If we told you, you would've refused to come out." Leigh says, knowing that it's 100% true.

"I think we should leave them alone." Jade whispers, while looking behind us, we all turn and face Luke, who is standing there, increasingly awkward. I feel taps on my back and the mumbling of goodbyes, but I keep my eyes on Luke.

"You were great out there." He finally says.

"You were too." I can't help but blush at how quickly I responded, knowing it was probably really awkward for Luke.
