As soon as fans saw the two girls they all started cheering and waving at them. The girls smiled and waved back, standing on the second floor of the venue in their own little section.

The sisters stood there, leaning against the railing, both sipping on a drink as they chatted. They danced along to the opener, before they went back to waiting for the show to start.

Aly's phone buzzed in her hand, she glanced down at the text, "Shit," she mumbled.

"What?" Sierra looked over at her.

"Christian can't make it," Aly sighed as she texted him back.

"Why not?"

"All he said was a family thing," Aly shrugged.

The venue went dark and the crowd roared. Aly turned to her sister with a big smile as she tucked her phone away, which made the older girl laugh.

The music started, every set of eyes on the stage. The cords of No Shame filled the room, mixed with the screaming of excited fans.

Aly and Sierra spent most of the show, singing along and dancing together. Aly  constantly found herself watching Calum, there was something so enticing about watching him on stage, interacting with fans, he was just fully in his element.

Then during Waste The Night, Ashton pointed a drum stick at Aly and waved, which she waved back with a smile.

Right before Best Years, Luke pointed out Sierra, making everyone look up at the two girls. Sierra just blushed and waved.

And then things got slow, as one of Aly's favorite songs of theirs, Amnesia, started to play. Aly's eyes were already on him when he lifted his head a little higher towards her. She thought she was imagining things but she knew he had looked right at her.

Aly swayed along to the song, until the bridge, when without a doubt, Calum's eyes met her's as he sang.

"If today I woke up with you right beside me."

Aly's heart sunk to the bottom of her feet.

"Like all of this was just some twisted dream."

Aly wanted to cry watching him.

"I'd hold you closer than I ever did before."

He closed his eyes fining the song.

"Fuck," Aly mumbled to herself.

Aly tried to enjoyed the rest of the show, trying to ignore her racing thoughts. She danced and yelled along with her sister until the boys left the stage and the two girls were guided backstage again.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom," Aly said as Sierra pushed open the door to Luke's dressing room.

"Mkay," Sierra hummed. Aly turned away, walking down the hallway to Calum's room. She knocked on the door getting a half-hearted answer before she pushed open the door.

Calum expected it to be one of the boys, so he was shocked to see Aly.

"Hi," he said softly, standing right in the middle of the room.
