Pieces of Us| h.s.

Chapter Seven.

Sydney Archer

Last night's show was just incredible. I never wanted to get off the stage, we did an extra song and eventually Nick was shouting into my earpiece that I couldn't keep playing, it broke my heart. I didn't want it to end, it was just so perfect I couldn't bear to get off the stage.

Harry's parents came and it was so sweet, the acoustic song I played was one dedicated to them and they were standing in the wings with Harry, arms around each other. His mum was crying, his dad had teary eyes and Harry did too. It was sweet, they loved the show so much and were so grateful.

I love his parents, they're the loveliest people ever and they care a lot about me. They're like the parents I never had. They're also very much part of our friendship[ group, everyone loves having them around, growing up, their house was our safe space, the place everybody could call home.

Tomorrow is the night of Festival X. I'm nearly sick with excitement and nerves, but mainly excitement.

We got up really early today to travel back down intime to see the stage and run through some things. We have our own trailer and our own tent behind the stage, as well as VIP passess for the whole weekend. I cannot wait until tomorrow, it truly will be the best day of my entire life and I can't wait.

Spirits today are higher than ever, on the bus we polished the setlist for the festival, changed things a little to make it more special. We're pulling out all of our hits, our very best songs and we've merged some together. I believe this might be our best ever performance. It's also being broadcast on television, which is also just insane because not only will 100,000 people be in attendance, there will be many others watching on their televisions.

We're all singing and having the best fun, all high on adrenaline, excitement coursing through our veins in preparation for tomorrow night. None of us will be able to sleep at night, too excited for what's to come in the morning.

I think about tomorrow, and naturally, I feel beyond excited, but I'm also so proud that it makes me emotional. We worked so hard to get here, with very little help. We were just kids with a dream when we started, no industry help or insiders to give us a hand. We got here on our own, through hard work and practice and the fact we made it to the headline slot of Festival X fills me with so many emotions I can't even begin to put this feeling into words.

Eventually we arrived, the boys and I ran out of the bus through all these security checks and people until we got to the stage. We got there and just froze. The field ahead of us is soon to be filled with people, this stage soon to be filled with our instruments, that screen soon to read our name and show our faces.

Harry ran over and grabbed us all, arms around every single one of us and we started jumping up and down on the stage, happier than ever. I wanted to cry with joy, my skin feels like it is bursting with adrenaline and I have goosebumps just being here in the moment.

'I can't believe it.' Myles said, looking out from the stage with his hand over his mouth.

'We used to stand over there,' Jamie pointed, kneeling down to kiss the stage floor. 'I feel like crying.'

'This is just....I...' I couldn't even talk, what do you even say in a moment like this?

'Jamie Hart, Sydney Archer, Harry Styles and Myles Archer.' Some guy with a 'Festival X team member' pass said as he passed us all out passes. 'You guys ran off without these. You're welcome to do a runthrough later, let me know and I'll arrange that for you guys.

'Can we please?' I asked.

'Course, we'll let you know. Get in touch with one of us if you need anything.'
