I woke up to my phone going off. I groaned sitting up and looking around my finally finished room. Last night I had finally finished unpacking and decorating.
I picked up the phone opening it too see why I was being spam texted. I was in a group chat with all the guys. Trevor wrote,

T: Hey y'all it's my concert day!!! You better wake your lazy asses up and get over here to spend the day with me!!

C: Will do! I'm already getting in the car!

T: Connor you don't count you have been up for hours lol.

JC: Sounds good.

S: Kian and Alexis are still asleep.

T: Then wake them up!!

K: No I'm awake, Lexy isn't tho.

T: ALEXIS WAKE UP!!

JC: Really Trev...

T: Shut up.

Me: Hey guys I'm up now, I'll be down in a few min.

I put my phone down quickly changing into a pair of denim shorts and the Trevor Moran concert T-shirt I had bought to support him. I threw my hair up in a bow bun and put some make up on before heading downstairs to join the guys.
Once everyone was together we got on the road and headed to the location Trevor had given us the night before.
Trevor planned it so that we could all meet in the morning and be there all day. He wasn't rehearsing the entire time but he should be practicing right now and then again fifteen or twenty minutes before the show.
When we got there the guard let us in the side door, we walked down a dim hallway to the sound room.
Trevor sat in a plastic arm chair like he was the queen, not the king, the queen.
"Watch my slay, watch me slay." He said standing up and walking around the chair kicking onto the ground during his chorus line.
We watched him sing until the song was over before joining him on the mini stage.
Connor who had been sitting on the corner of the stage jumped up to join us.
We all hugged them quickly, circling around so we could all talk as a group.
"How's the practice going?" I asked.
"Good, I have been doing this for days, I've got it down." He said flipping the microphone and attempting to catch it. It slipped out of his hand and he grabbed it quickly before it hit the ground.
"It's okay, I got it." He announced turning in a circle. He got a small applaud from the people around him before he shut the microphone off, picking up the chair and setting the microphone on it.
"Well I'm done for now so what are we gonna do?" He asked smiling.
"You're the one with the entire day mapped out to the second." Kian said moving behind me so he could hug me around the waist, resting his head on top of mine.
Trevor rolled his eyes, "Does no one remember the schedule?" He asked looking at us hopelessly. We all shook our head at the same time.
He turned motioning for us to follow and we did. We went into the back of the stage area out into the lobby area and back into a hallway that lead to a cafeteria area.
"Okay so today they have tacos, there will be other people coming in here soon so unless you want to be among them you should grab what you want and we will head back to my dressing room." Trevor said grabbing a plate.
We got our food and followed Trevor back to his dressing room.
"Welcome to my sanctuary." He said flipping the lights on. The room lit up with strands of colored lights circling the border of the ceiling and two lamps in opposite corners of the room. A rack of clothes covered the longer wall opposite from the door and to the right was a counter, chair, and mirror. On the left wall was a couch that we all gravitated towards.
"Nice place." Jc said sitting down on the couch next to Kian and I.
"Thanks, I could live here." Trevor said laughing a little bit.
"Hey, only a few more years until you can move out," Kian said. "Then you can come live with us."
"True, but once we end O2L things may change." Trevor said.
A silence filled the room for a minute, most of the guys looked at the floor.
Rickey stood up walking over to embracing Trevor in a hug. "Trevor, nothing is gonna change between any of us." He said.
"Ya Trev we are still family." Kian said nudging him a little from the couch.
"Ya, I know. Sorry guys I didn't mean to kill the mood, we are happy!" Trevor said taking a breath.
He moved to the other side of the room where his dressing rack was pulling a classic pink feather scarf off the rack and throwing it around his neck.
"So, who wants a preview of the show?" He asked leaning up against the wall and smiling.
********
People poured into the open area and the seats, talking and jumping with excitement. We sat backstage to stay out of the seats and out of sight. There was nothing wrong with their fans but if we sat in front everyone would pay attention to the guys more than Trevor so it was best we stayed on the side.
Trevor stood with us jumping up and down shaking his body to loosen up.
"And I, wanna hear your echo." He cleared his voice repeating the line and then singing another song line. I took a breath smiling.
He fixed his hair a little "Wish me luck." He said before turning on his microphone and running out on stage.
The crowed went wild standing up and jumping happily screaming out his name and sending him their love.
Colorful signs floated throughout the audience catching the reflection of the lights and shining them back on stage.
"Hello LA how are you doing tonight?" Trevor asked, the crowed screamed back in response waving their signs.
"Good," he said smiling "So who wants to hear a song?" He asked raising his hands and shrugging his shoulders slightly. The crowed screamed and cheers excitedly waving their hands in the air and just loosing it with happiness, the girls in front were taking pictures and videos with one hand while hold out the other one in hope he would reach down and touch their hands.
The music started and he began to sing his first song doing the motions just like he had practiced.
The crowed went wild jumping around and singing along, it was amazing to see. In between songs Trevor would say something quick about the song and then he would rock out. At one point he took a girls phone from the audience and took a video of himself singing, she was so happy she cried.
After a few more songs the crowed died down and Trevor spoke, "We have had a great night haven't we?" The crowed screamed back in response. "You guys ready for one last song?" They all screamed again. "Good! Then watch me slay..." his voice faded out and the stage went dark. I grabbed Trevor's chair running out quickly placing the chair on the stage and running back getting behind stage right as the music started.
The right spotlight turned on, then off with the beat. Then the left, then the right and finally the middle. Then all the lights turned and and Trevor was sitting in the chair with his legs crossed, he began to sing.
It was funny because the song described him so well, he did slay, he was so full of energy and life, it was great to watch him sing and dance and enjoy it all.
All the lights went off and the music stopped leaving a quick silence in the room. The over head lights came on and a chorus of clapping and yelling filled the silence. Trevor stood their a minute longer before waving, "Goodnight, I love you guys!" He yelled running off the stage switching off his mic and handing it to someone who hurried off with it. We all embraced him in a big group hug, "Good job Trev." Connor said.
"Thanks guys, now let's get out of here." Trevor said, clearly exhausted.
We all walked out together, the evening air felt amazing. When we got outside we stopped for a second, "You sure you don't want to come back to the house for a while?" Sam asked.
"Ya guys it's been a long day, I'll see you guys tomorrow though." Trevor said running over to meet up with his mom who waved at us cheerfully.
We piled into the cars and started the drive back home. We stopped for dinner at a Taco Bell because we were all to lazy to get out of the car.
"I didn't know there was a Coney Island over there." Kian remarked thoughtfully. I smiled, thinking back to when I met Kian.
After ordering food we went straight home, and I fell asleep on Kian's shoulder despite the radio on low and the light conversation Rickey and Kian were having.
********
"What the hell!" Someone yelled. I jumped waking up and looking around, I was leaning up against the door and Jc was running towards the houses open front door. I frowned opening my door and getting out.
As soon as I was out of the door I could hear the alarm going off. Fear flooded me and I ran inside behind Jc. He hurried upstairs checking all of the rooms and I walked around the downstairs. Something flashed out of the corner of my eye causing me to jump. I turned quickly to see the silhouette of a man running away. My heart stopped and I ran back outside to Kian.
"I saw him." I said in a panic. Kian looked around us pulling me into his arms. Jc came back out of the house looking at me worry filling his eyes.
"Lex?" He said walking over.
"She saw the guy Jc." Kian said.
Jc looked around before running around to the back of the house. Sam ran around back with him and Rickey stayed.
JJ pulled up in his car jumping out. He must have been at the gym because he was sweaty. He frowned walking up to us.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Someone broke into our house." Rickey said filling JJ in on everything we knew so far.
A few minutes later police arrived due to the automatic trigger in the alarm system. Jc and Sam had returned and we all gave our statements. I had to try and describe what I had seen, it was weird, the guy must have just escaped through the sliding glass door before I came in but instead of just booking it he looked back as he ran. I didn't see his face but he didn't seem to turn back around in a hurry, like he was making sure we hadn't seen him and once he realized he had been spotted he wanted to get caught.
"And your sure nothing is missing from the house?" One of the police men asked.
"Yes I'm sure." Jc answered glancing at us unhappily.
"Okay, I think we have all the information we need." The police man said, tipping his hat he walked back to his partner and getting in the car they drove off leaving us alone in the drive way in silence.
