Recap:
“Hurry up Niall!” Paul screamed from the driver’s seat. I signed one last piece of paper and hopped into the car.
“Off to vocals we go!” Louis screamed as Paul drove off, careful not to hit any girls. I really needed to apologize to Layla ASAP; I really can’t stand not talking her. It’s eating me alive.
Chapter 19
Layla’s POV
“Layla can we talk?” I felt my arm being grabbed and I quickly pulled it away, my breath speeding up.
“Sorry, I forgot.” Niall said sheepishly. We were about to enter vocals to start rehearsing, for the upcoming tour.
“What do you want to talk about?” I snapped at him. I know I shouldn’t have snapped at him but I am still upset at the fact that he accused me of sleeping with Harry.
“Listen Layla, before you push me away, I’m sorry. I really shouldn’t have accused you of sleeping with Harry, I realize how wrong I was, and I hurt two of my closest friends. Please can you forgive me? It hurts me when we don’t talk.” I stayed quiet, he really was sorry; I could see it in his eyes. “If it helps, I got you a stuffed penguin.” Niall said with a sheepish smile. Penguins were my favorite animal, and my sister used to call me penguin as a nickname.
“I forgive you.” He had a grin from ear to ear, and we tried to pull me into a hug, but I resisted.
“Oh, sorry, I forgot. Are you ever going to tell me why you can’t touch people?” I hesitated for a moment before pulling him into a hug. Yes it was quick, but it still happened. Now we were both smiling from ear to ear because I just did something I was scared of, and overcame one of my fears.
“You just hugged me.” Niall said shocked.
“Yea, I guess I did.” I said smiling back, and walking into the rehearsal room.
“It’s about time! I thought you guys were about to start making babies out there!” Louis exclaimed.
“Yea, I’m not so sure Brittany would be happy about that.” I shot back, smirking to myself. Louis laughed, but was cut off by the vocal coach.
“Hello Layla, I’m Mary, and I will be your vocal coach a long with the boys.” The petite women said, smiling. I smiled back and went to go sit down with the rest of the boys. Niall was sat to my left and Louis to my right.
“Alright, well management wanted the opening of your tour to start with a bang. I have a plan that will be really cool, and opening the show will be a song that includes all of you, then Layla with her opening songs, then you boys are going to do your thing. The song is somebody I used to know by Gotye. We already got permission by his management to use the song.” We all nodded our heads, understanding what she was saying. “The song will be opened by Liam, and right in the middle there is a female role, and that is where Layla comes in from the wings. So basically, Layla, you sing start singing with them until you’re part. Then you will start singing with them and harmonizing until half way, and you will show up out of nowhere. Got it?”
“Got it!” We all chorused. Mary handed out sheet music which had all the parts we sang in and when to come in or out. We looked at the sheet music, and began rehearsal.
*************************************************************************************
“Wow, I am so tired!” I exclaimed as we got into the car. I was starving, but luckily Paul was going to stop somewhere to get food. We rehearsed a total of 4 hours, so my brain was exhausted.
