Filly is friends with all of the New Kids but especially closer to the Knight brothers. After the sudden death of one of the brothers, she finds herself falling for the one who she's supporting but they build their friendship stronger as he grieves...
Pulling up curb side where I'm in awe of the venue that the guys are performing in, it's absolutely massive. I'm intrigued to see what it's like inside. Sophie comes beside me and turns us round with her phone held out in front of us to take a selfie. "Ready to see your 'best friend'?" She finger quotes the best friend of course. We link our arms and begin to find the main entrance. Finding the reception area, I explain to them that we have passes as we're guests of the band and a member of staff come out to lead us to where I presume we need to be. "I feel like I recognise you, I'm sorry if that sounds creepy as I don't mean to be." I smile at her, Sophie explains that I'm very good friends with Jordan and Jon when he was alive. A pang of sadness appears in my heart at the mention of Jon, but I hope he is okay up there where ever he is looking down at us from.

The lady's radio bleeps. She takes us to the doors that lead to the backstage area where there's a security guy waiting. I recognise him and happy to see him again. "Hi, how are you?" I ask him. He's looking at me as if he's trying to work out who I am yet I feel like he recognises me. I introduce myself and soon enough, he remembers me. He apologises which is sweet but not needed. We make small talk as we walk closer to where we are joining the guys. "I'll probably be the first person to say this but I think it's great that you're here, Jordan hasn't been the same since you know although he's really excited to see you. Don't tell him I've said this though but I and my colleagues see these guys every day so can tell when they're not quite themselves." Hearing this is pulling my heart strings and what I was worrying about when Jordan told me he was going to go on tour when he did. I can hear voices, that sound familiar and I'm feeling happier the closer I get to being nearer to them. "I wonder what Jordan will say when he sees your shirt?!" Sophie leans in as she whispers in my ear. Automatically, my hand places itself on the picture of Jordan on my chest and Sophie smiles. We round the corner and I can see people milling about; it takes me a minute to realise it's the band that is in my view. I squint my eyes to look for the one person I'm here to see and support; there's Danny, Donnie, Joey messing around and just behind them I spot Jordan.

I try to quicken my pace but with these two either side of me, I stay at their speed. Glancing at the guys in front of us, they're looking at me trying to work out who I am and just as I'm about to side eye Sophie, I notice Jordan sprinting towards me. He has a massive smile on his face.
