SEVEN - Hey there Delilah

Nick's POV

After arriving at Bruges, we unpack at the new hotel and start making our way over to the arena. I can't help but wonder what y/n is doing right now. "You boys ready?" Our manager says. We all nod and start getting hooked into our harnesses, ready to come down onto the stage on the hover boards. I think the intro is one of the best parts of this tour. The people start flooding into the arena and sit down in their seats. Once everyone has sat down, we start the show. We come down on the hover boards and drop onto the stage, our backup dancers starting to unhook us. We take off our helmets, and the crowd goes absolutely wild. I look around and smile at our fans, seeing signs like "NICK MARRY ME!!!" and "KEVIN I LOVE YOU." I laugh to myself, and we start walking around the stage to the music.

"I may run and hide
When you're screamin' my name, alright." B-Rok sings. "But let me tell you now, there are prices to fame, alright." I sing with a slight sting in my voice. Right now, I relate to this lyric hard. I think of y/n and how she'd react to finding out about my life as a sudden sadness washes over me. I think the other guys notice because AJ pats me on the back and smiles weakly.

Tuesday morning

y/n's POV

I go down to the local grocery store for some food because me and Izzy are starting to run out of snacks. Plus, we aren't at work today, so I can go get some stuff. Walking down the aisles, I go to pick up some pot noodles, Belgian snacks, and some rice cakes cause I fucking love rice cakes. I see some girls around my age giggling and looking at a magazine, I wonder what they find so funny, so I try and get a closer look. They seem to be giggling over some sort of boyband? I can only just about make out five guys on the cover cause the blondes hand is in the way. They must be fangirls, I think to myself and continue to pay for my things. "Ik vind Brian de schattigste, wie is jouw favoriet?" One of them says. I should really start learning dutch since it's the most spoken language over here. "Ik ben enorm verliefd op Howie, hij is zo lekker!" The other one squeals. I smile to myself. Sometimes, I wonder if me and Iz would've turned out to be one of those girls if we watched TV more. We barely ever watch it because our TV is so shit and only plays VHS tapes, so whenever we wanna watch anything, we just put old 80s movies on. We'd buy a new one, but since we moved to a whole different country at 17 and are living off of minimum wage, we can't afford it.

My phone starts ringing so I reach into my bag and answer it. "Hey, this is Nick." I hear Nick say. "Oh my god, hey, how are you? How's Bruges?" I say with a grin and begin putting my shopping into a bag. "It's been great, it's such a pretty city. Not as pretty as you, though." I can practically hear the smirk in his voice. "Nick, you're so cheesy." I laugh. I see the two girls turn their heads in my direction and start talking again. "I can't help it. It's just my nature!" He says sarcastically. "Anyways, how've you been?" He follows. "Honestly, it's been a pretty boring day so far..." I sigh. "Plus, it's been weird you not being here asking me out." I laugh. "Oh, don't worry, I'll be there to ask you out sooner than you think." He says. "Ooooo, how soon is that, then?" I ask. "You'll see." He says, and I hear someone in the back telling him to get off the phone. "Hey y/n, I have to go right now, but I'll call you again ASAP, okay?" He tells me, his voice further away from the phone. "Alright, handsome, speak to you later." I say and walk out of the store. "Looks who's been cheesy now!" He laughs. "Yeah, yeah, shut up." I chuckle. "Bye, my little cutie wootie boo boo bear!" He mocks. "Nick enough!" I start laughing harder. We hang up, and I start walking back with a smile. I wonder when he's gonna come back to Ghent.
