the next day

The bus coming to a stop, i was quick to jump off, looking at the MidFlorida Amphitheater we were due to play tonight. Tampa is always a great place to play, the crowds are insane, something i don't ever thing i could get used to. Walking with Louis, we reach the stage. I tilt my head up viewing the seating from left to right, imagining the fans filling in later.

"First open-air venue this tour." I hear a soft gentle voice speak up from behind me. I turn to meet her beaming face smiling up at me. No words needed, just standing here we both feel each others emotion. I look deep into her eyes, getting the same response back from her.

"Liam cmon, we're about to begin!" Jake.

Looking away from eachother, April runs up and lifts her guitar from the stand, fidgeting with the tuning and playing a few riffs as i walk below the stage taking my place on the platform. The five of us rose, Harry stating the line, "Straight off the plane to a new hotel." Silence. A few seconds go by before my in-ear begins to countdown "cue 4, 3, 2, 1." The drums and instrumental begins as we walk forward. I flash a glance over at April as i walk by her, smiling as she plays the repetitive riff. We continue sound checking majority of the show and eventually come to soundcheck the encore. With a slight change in the setlist, i go find Jake backstage, looking for music sheets. After a good search i found him and got the sheets off him, working my way back to the main stage now. I see April sitting down on a chair, mesmerised by her guitar. It's like she's in her own world right now. I grab a seat and sit opposite her. I pass her the pages, "Just a recap of the newer songs we haven't played in a while. You've played them before just not in a while."

"Thanks." She welcomes that unforgettable smile while taking the sheets from me. She looks down, flicking through the pages and scanning each line.

"April.." I begin as my hand slides under her chin, lifting her face to meet mine. I glanced down the stage to see everyone talking with eachother, not paying attention to us. The perfect opportunity. Before she got to speak, our lips were connected. Mine against hers. Hers against mine. We moved in sync, keeping it sweet and short. Pulling away, we both chuckled to ourselves as we got up ready to continue with the rest of soundcheck.

later that day

30 minutes before the show, everyone is stressfully sprinting around backstage doing any last minute things. I know the band just sits around playing video games as there's not much for them to sort out, but, Nora, Casper and Ezra are always tuning instruments or something. Something i always have done way before the show. A few memories keep reoccurring in my mind, followed by a question that needs asked, it's been eating at me for ages now. Even he might want the answer too. Walking through the long, crowded halls, i reached Louis' backstage room. In other words, the "hangout" room. Knocking on the door, Niall answers. I open my mouth to speak but before anything came out he turn to face inside the room shouting, "Liam! Aprils here for you!"

How did he know i was here for Liam?

I didn't question but instead just stood outside waiting for Liam. He walked himself out of the room, he seemed happy to see me, the same way i felt about him. But that just adds to my question more, my expression changes. Liam notices this and follows up by asking,

"Is everything okay?" He shuts the door behind him, leaning against the wall with a concerned look on his face.

"Yeah, but, i've got to ask you something. It's been eating away at me for a while now and i really need to ask it before things move on and everything gets even more complicated than it already is and -"

"Woah, April slow down. You're getting stressed and worked up now. Take a deep breathe and ask what you wanna ask."

Listening to his advice, I inhale deeply before exhaling. I look up at him, ready to ask. I take a moment before finally asking,

"What are we?"
