Wish I Was Home

"Are we really doing this?" Louis looked over at me as we stood backstage at the reunion show.

The show had been advertised as a Liam and Niall collaboration. We figured that would be the best way. But even with it just being the two of them they sold out the biggest venue in London.

I looked at Louis standing next to me holding his blue ended mic. Liam and Niall's mics were on stage while zayn stood next to Louis holding his yellow ended mic and I held my green ended mic. "We're really doing this." I told Louis and kissed him deeply before the show began. "Just be ready for the shit storm to come love."

Louis handed me his mic and I was afraid he had changed his mind about the show. He had been nervous for days. "Take it." He told me and put his mic in my hand and for a moment I panicked until he said, "give me yours."

My smile returned as I placed my green ended mic in his hand. I understood what he was doing. "You're sure?" I asked.

"I've never been so sure of anything in my life," he told me with a big smile. "It's time."

We had decided as a group to not go back to our skinny jeans and tee shirts, instead we went with our new styles but we coordinated so we matched. I wore a pair of black pants, a blue button down shirt and Chelsey boots. Louis wore black pants, a blue Burberry polo with his signature adidas shoes. Zayn wore a light pink suit and dress shoes. Liam chose blue jeans and a pink polo that matched Zayn's suit. Niall was who pulled our looks together. He wore black pants and a white button down that was unbuttoned from the top and a suit jacket with blues and pinks in it along with tennis shoes.

Liam took the stage alone and we watched from backstage. He sang his song Remember before Niall took the stage with him and sang his own solo song with help from Liam, Nice to meet ya.

"It feels amazing to be back on stage," Liam said to the crowd. "And having this guy next to me makes it even better. Do you wanna do a One D song Niall?"

"I do," Niall said into the mic around his head while holding his guitar. "Which one you wanna do Liam?" Niall played the beginning of Steal My Girl.

"No," Liam said. "Not that one."

"How about this one?" Niall began playing You & I.

"That's the one," Liam said.

Niall began singing. "I figured it out, I figured it out from black and white. Seconds and hours maybe they had to take some time."

"I know how it goes," Liam sang. "I know how it goes from wrong and right. Silence and sound did they ever hold each other tight like us? Did they ever fight like us?"

I began to sing from backstage into Louis' mic. "You and I, we don't wanna be like them. We can make it to the end," I walked into the stage and stood next to Liam and finished my verse. The crowd went insane.

"I figured it out," Zayn sang and walked out into the stage. "Saw the mistakes of up and down. Meet in the middle, there's always room for common ground."

Louis was last to take the stage and the crowd was waiting for him when he did. "I see what it's like, I see what it's like for day and night. Never together," he sang and stood next to me holding my mic. "Cause they see things in a different light like us. They never tried like us."

We finished the song together and stood at the edge of the stage, all five of us, looking out to the crowd. It was surreal to be standing there next to them again.

"Well," I said into the mic. "Hello again London!"

The crowd was even louder.

"It appears we've got lots to catch up on," I joked.
