Famed Friendship

Four

We arrived later than expected due to California's god-awful traffic, the gold carts we requested were right outside the limo. Now I'm questioning who booked this, because I surely didn't. 

Jaden took a different golf cart to the stage.

There was a theme this year, which was streetwear. I knew Hailey would kill it because that's one of the things she's known for, her killer style. Jaden was performing on the same stage Juan was which made it easier for me because I could watch Jaden perform before I had to go backstage. We were quickly shown the celebrity lounge, we had the option to get off but there wasn't a reason for us to since our drivers would just drive us directly to the stage Jaden and Juan are performing on. Lots of screaming and flashing continued as we were driving, probably hundreds of pictures in a couple seconds were taken just as we were being driven to the stage. The drivers pulled up to a special area where we'd be watching the stage. I held Ariana's hand as we walked towards the platform.

"ahh I'm excited" Ariana expressed

"me too!" I joined her joy

The crowd was absolutely massive, I'd estimate a good 50 thousand were here watching Jaden. 

The stage went dark with some pink undertones lighting around the edge of the stage. B L U E flashed on a screen with those pink undertones turning blue, P I N K flashed on a screen with the pink undertones returning, C T V 3 with rainbow undertones replacing the pink. The stage returned to darkness. His song "Icon" started playing with a pink and blue sunset background and fire matching the beat of the song which fades into his song "Breakfast" featuring A$AP Rocky. The background for this song changes to literal breakfast food.

We're all bopping our heads and recording his performance. 

His song "P" plays in the background as the stage returns to darkness again, it fades into his song "Summertime in Paris" featuring Willow, she joins him on stage for this one. The background and props turn into a summery pink vibe.

"So, Willow ditches us just to perform with her brother?" I laugh

"I guess so" A couple of them say

Zayn moves beside me; I'm bopping my head and mouthing the lyrics. I don't know this at the time but he's recording me for his Instagram story. This is one of my favorite songs, of course I know all the lyrics. Summertime in Paris fades into NOIZE, another one of my favorites. The lighting changes from this pink to a red, the props are gone and replaced by more fire. He brings out Tyler the Creator. The lighting and fire continue to sync with the beat of the song. NOIZE fades into darkness, a lowkey drum beat plays for about 30 seconds when all of sudden rainbows pop up literally everywhere. The lighting is now completely rainbow, different colored rainbows are the background, there's now a car in the middle of the stage. I'm questioning to myself, how the hell did that thing get there so fast without anyone seeing?

"Deep end" starts playing, this is my favorite Jaden song. I'm singing it, again Zayn and Justin are both recording me without my knowledge. I bop my head and close my eyes, kind of getting into my own little world. I thought he'd do falling for you with Justin but to my surprise he didn't. The song fades into "Photograph" and ends with "Boy's and girls" everyone in the crowd is having an amazing time, at the end everyone cheers and claps as Jaden deserves. 

Twenty minutes until Juan performs.

A security guard leads Juan and I to the back of the stage via a golf cart. As far as I can see, the crowd didn't even attempt to move. In fact, I can see everyone moving into the crowd. As we approach the back of the stage, we both see Jaden heading towards the crowd to the spot the group is in. We wave to him, and he waves back.
