Worst In Me N.S.

Ch.9 Girlfriend

AJ

The boys walk onto the stage causing all the girls to go nuts. Jane and Erika ended up right next to us and Jane was still not happy with me. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do considering that Noah and I have been seeing each other for well over a week now. It's literally not my fault at all that I had an episode at the concert last week.

"WHAT'S GOING ON EVERYBODYYYYY?" Noah shouts into his mic.

We all cheer them on. Noah looks down at me and winks. The beginning of TDOPOM.

"Before we begin this song, I've been talking to an amazing girl for the last week, and I've never been happier. She makes me feel comfortable being my normal self. She makes me extremely happy and though she's going through a really tough time right now with her POTS diagnosis and her break up, I want her to know that I'm here for her always and that I would love to one day make her my girlfriend. Possibly before I head to another state and city. AJ this song is for you tonight" Noah announces into the mic.

My heart flutters fast and I can feel my cheeks heating up.

As he sings these extremely sexual lyrics, he stares down at me, causing me to feel some type of way. He kneels down in front of me and reaches out a hand to me. I take it and he pulls me onto the stage. Nick pulls out a chair for me to sit on causing me to giggle with embarrassment and shyness. I take a seat as Noah comes over.

He lightly puts his pointer finger underneath my chin, causing me to look up at him. My gaze at him softens, unable to move. He continues to sing, and fuck do I feel something happening to me. Almost like he's taken my breath from me. I stare into his gorgeous brown eyes as he sings to me.

Once it hits my favorite part, he turns the mic to me. I start unconsciously singing into the mic but singing to him. His eyes get slightly darker as he stares into them. His part comes back, and he pulls me into him. He holds me tightly as he sings out to the crowd.

The song finally ends but Noah and I keep our eyes locked on one another.

"You sounded amazing," he tells me.

I giggle as the crowd cheers. He puts the mic up to his mouth.

"Acaria Jayce, I've fallen so hard for you, and I know you are going through a lot right now, but I can't imagine this tour without you. So, I ask... Will you be my girlfriend?" he asks.

In that moment, I knew it was now or never.

"YES" I yell.

After the concert, Taylor and I were taken into the dressing rooms. Noah wouldn't let go of me and frankly that didn't bother me.

"You guys perform so fucking well together, oh my god" Taylor says.

"Her voice is one like we've never heard. Like shit girl if we could take you on tour with us, we would" Nicholas says.

I giggle.

"How would you feel if you could go on tour with us?" Noah asks me.

Is he serious?

"That would literally be a dream come true. I've always wanted to perform in front of people. It means everything to me. Music is literally everything to me" I explain.

Miles walks in and sees me in Noah's arms.

"What is your name?" he asks.

I point at myself, and he nods.

"Acaria Jayce but I go by AJ" I say.

He smiles as the boys have us all sit down.

"How would you feel about going on tour with us? You have the voice of an angel and with you officially being Noah's girlfriend, you'd be handed amazing opportunities" he asks.

The boys start freaking out for me, but I begin to think. I'm still in school and with my medical condition. Plus, I'd be leaving my friends who I still talk to Including Taylor and she's the one I really don't want to leave. But this would be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

We stayed with the boys until we had to head back to the hotel. They even drove us back and came to find out it was the same hotel they were staying at. I had told Miles that I needed to think about this because of everything I had to consider.

He even invited Taylor to go with because she's Jolly's girlfriend. We both told him that we would think about it because we still have school. But besides school, there was really nothing holding her back. I have Edith, Carolyn, Aiden, school, POTS.

Right now, all the guys are talking about the things they wanna do in Charleston, but I can't get my head off of how I'm gonna tell my friends I'm dating Noah, including Aiden. I feel Noah rubbing my arms with his thumbs as he talks with his band mates.

"You seem anxious," he says.

I just stare. I don't know how I feel. I know I'm not completely over Aiden but I'm falling so fast and hard for Noah. My phone is constantly buzzing, from my friends, Aiden, even my own mother. I don't wanna talk to anyone right now. I don't even wanna really be around anyone else except for Noah right now but I can't just ask everyone else to leave.

"Baby" he says.

I turn to look back at him. I then feel my head start to feel really fuzzy and I can feel my heart pounding. I look over at Taylor who comes over.

"Episode?" Noah asks.

I nod and sink my head into his lap. He brings his hands down to rub the back of my neck. Jolly and Nicholas both grab my legs to lift them above my head and on their backs. Nick begins to fan me with his hands causing me to chuckle before everything goes black.

Noah

I know she's probably regretting saying yes to me. Right now, she is going through quite a bit and I probably had no right to ask her, but I knew I wanted her to be mine before I left the state for another concert.

While I rub the back of her neck and Taylor rubs her shoulders, I look over at the guys.

"You think she'll say yes to going on tour with us?" I ask.

"I hope so. She needs some better things in her life right now. Aiden will not leave her alone and he's blowing up both of our phones to get ahold of her. But this would be the best thing for her right now and of course with her POTS and everything right now, I understand why she's fearful to say yes to going on tour" Taylor explains.

I continue to rub the back of her neck until I see her hand jerk. I stop for a split second then realize she's not back yet.

"I really like her, Taylor. I want all of this for her. And with her POTS, we can always do what we need to to accommodate her with any kind of medications or doctor's visits that she might need. We keep EMS on speed dial just in case something was to happen like the concert we met y'all at" I explain.

I hear her take a deep breath then begin to open her eyes. I smile down at her, causing her to smile back up at me. I lean down and kiss her forehead.

"Welcome back sweetheart" I say.

She blushes and just turns over to continue laying in my lap.

I want her to feel accommodated. I want her to feel loved and appreciated. I want her to be happy with whatever decision she chooses. This whole situation isn't going to be easy and if she were to say yes, it wouldn't be an easy adjustment. She's literally being asked to join our band which hasn't ever happened. We've only really lost a member but never really gained one.

I just want her to be happy.
