In this Moment

Chapter Three

All of a sudden the music stop and the DJ"s voice echoed through the microphone he was holding. Everyone was at attention as soon as he spoke, "I hope you all are enjoying your New Years Eve! Please welcome, for our live music, Rachel Johnson and the One Direction band!"

As soon as his words ended, the crowd errupted in claps, cheers, and whistles. That was our cue one by one we walked onto the stage with me being the last. I walked up to the microphone stand and placed the microphone in the slot. I took a quick glance around, the view was amazing. I was kinda high up, and I could see all the way to the back wall, colored strob lights were going off still, but everyone was silent minus the few whispereds.

I walked over to Josh on the drums and looked at the song list Cher had pick out.

"What song do you want to do first love?" he questioned. When he called me love, I couldn't help the blush that started to rise to my cheeks, but I quickly supressed it. I quickly glanced through the list to see if any songs immediately jumped out at me. No....no...no...n- perfect!

"Everybody Talks by Neon Trees!" I replied excitedly. I thought this would be a great song to get everyone pumped up. I just hoped I wasnt wrong.

I walked up to the microphone and the band started to play right away. I was then accompanied by back up vocals. Before I spoke the first words of the song, I saw Niall staring straight at me. I just pray I dont mess this up.

Hey baby won't you look my way

I can be your new addiction

Hey baby what you gotta say?

All you're giving me is fiction

After the first few lyrics I got completely lost in the song.

I'm a sorry sucker and this happens all the time

I found out that everybody talks

Everybody talks, everybody talks

It started with a whisper

And that was when I kissed him

And then he made my lips hurt

I could hear the chitchat

Take me to your love shack

Man hes always gotta backtrack

And everybody talks back

As I continued through the song I could constantly feel my heart race a thousand miles an hour.

Hey sugar show me all your love

All you're giving me is friction

Hey sugar what you gotta say?

It started with a whisper

And that was when I kissed him

And then he made my lips hurt

I could hear the chitchat

Take me to your love shack

Man hes always gotta backtrack

When everybody talks back

Everybody talks

Everybody talks

Everybody talks

Everybody talks

Everybody talks

Everybody talks... back

It started with a whisper (everybody talks, everybody talks)

And that was when I kissed her (everybody talks, everybody talks)

Everybody talks

Everybody talks... back

As I finished the song all I heard was the sound of cheers, claps, and whistles. I performed in front of all these people and they liked me? They liked me!

I turned around to Josh and he spoke up "You were amazing, I didn't know you sing like that!" the blushing was invediable because of his sweet comment.

"Thanks, so um....I think for the next one....could I um...try country?" I  always loved country, but I didn't know if this audience would.

"Go for it! If you want." he replied.

I walked up to the mic and heard continuous hoops and hollers. "Thank you so much, I hope you guys don't mind, but I want to sing a bit of country." when I was done speaking I heard small cheers and the music began to play again but this time to the tune of Cowboy Casanova by Carrie Underwood.

When I had finish the song the crowd was even louder than before. It was insane. After that I was a bit more comfortable. I continued to sing some country, pop, and even a bit of R&B. I was so excited but also very nervous. We still had to do the requests and I just hope I would be able to please the requesters.

"We will have a ten minute break and then we will begin the requests." the DJ said into the microphone.

I turned around, walked off the steps and went to go hang and talk with Josh and the band. When I got to the group some one handed me a water and then the group errupted into a chorus of 'Oh my god' 'You were so good' and 'Your amazing'.

"Thanks guys. You guys were absolutely phenominal too!" I responded.

When I had almost down the water, I looked and saw all five members of One Direction walking towards us. My eyes got wide and I nearly spit out what water I had yet to swallow. 'OK calm down. It's just freakin One Direction!!! Ahh. OK, calm down here they come.' I causally fix my hair a bit, and smiled normally, at least I hoped it looked normal.

When they walked up they completed the half circle that me and the band had started. Liam, who was standing next to the bass guitarist, Joey, was wearing a nice red and gray plaid shirt with jeans and looked very nice and clean cut. Louis was standing next to him with a dark jean jacket and a black and white striped shirt underneath, he kind of looks like he did in the Kiss You music video.....no not now..now is not the time to fangirl. Niall who was next to Louis and directly across from me was wearing a cute blue polo and a leather jacket with dark jeans, his blue eyes looking as lively as ever. Next to him was Harry, and I immediately noticed the devilish smirk on his face and quickly looked to Zayn next to him. He was wearing a white shirt and a black jacket and black jeans. They all wore smiles and happy eyes.

"You were amazing!" Louis said looking at me with glee. "And you guys were great too", he said motioning to the guys. "But oh my god! When I saw you go up there I didnt expect that powerfull of voice to come out of such a small girl!"

I was in complete shock. Did the sass master from Doncaster just compliment me? I must be dreaming some one pinch me.

"Yeah you were amazing!" the rest of the guys chimed in.

"Hey guys, your gonna be up in a few so start getting ready again!" the DJ butted in.

"Well we will have to all talk again after you're done! Good luck with the requests!" Liam said joyfully.

"Thanks! See you guys later!" I exclaimed, and turned to head up the stairs to the stage again.

Tonight was the best and nothing was going to bring me down.

Or so I thought.
