Chapter 22: ||ERICA||

So, as Simon said, my last concert was July 31.
Backstage, before I went on, Liam pulled all of us into a group hug.
"Let's do this one last time?" He said. We all pulled away and looked at each other. All of their eyes landed on me.
I nodded, "Let's do it," I forced a smile.

When the boys were about to finish they started singing 'Moments' as their last song and I teared up. Liam looked back at me during his solo and nudged Louis. Louis looked at me and waved to me to come out to the stage. I shook my head. Harry saw Louis motioning me to the stage and walked over to me. Harry had just started his solo. He got over to me and started to sing to me and walk me out to the stage where everyone could see all six of us.
At that point I was crying, tears running down my cheeks. I sat next to Niall on the stage. They all sang the song perfectly and at the end of the song we all stood up and started talking.
"We've only known this girl for a few months," Liam started.
"But, she's like family now," Harry finished. He looked at Zayn.
"She's amazing and its really hard to say goodbye," he said.
"I don't know how we will continue this tour without her and Louis sassing each other, but we might make it through," Niall said, chuckling, tears in his eyes.
"I will most definitely miss her the most, and we wanted to tell you something," Louis said. I looked at them confused.
"Spaces between us," Liam talked. "Keep getting deeper."
"It's harder to reach you. Even though I try," Louis responded.
"Spaces between us," Niall looked at me.
"Hold all our secrets," Zayn and Liam said.
"Leaving us speechless. And I don't know why," they all said. I shook my head and dragged them into a hug. We all hugged each other with much force and pulled away, all of us crying. I took Zayn's microphone and started talking.
"I've only them for a few months, but they've been the ones to be there whenever I need them. I love them because they are funny, and can be serious and they never slow down, it's always go go go, never stopping. They are my family and I will miss them so much," I said, and we all walked off the stage after Harry said, "Thank you guys so much! We love you!"

We all headed backstage.
"So, this is it?" Liam swallowed.
I nodded. "Yeah, but I'm sure we'll see each other around, right?"
"Yeah," Louis said, and the boys all nodded.
We all got in the car, going to the airport to drop me off. We got in the airport, and of course, paparazzi were there, as well as many fans. All of us ignored them. I sighed. I looked at the five boys that have become a second family. We all hugged each other. I hugged Niall last and I put my arms around his waist and he did the same. I rested my head on his shoulder. I saw flashes from the cameras, catching the scene.
I pulled away, hearing my flight being called. I wiped the tears from my eyes. I looked at all of them and they waved to me. I saw Niall, being held by Harry, and crying. Even though all of them were crying, Niall was just full on sobbing.
"Niall," I yelled across the loud airport. He looked up. I waved and he just wiped tears from his cheeks and eyes and then waved a small wave back.
When I walked to my flight, I turned around, waved for a last time, forced a smile, and the boys waved back. I yelled "Love you guys!" And they said "Love ya too!"

I got on the plane, put in my ear buds and I couldn't think of anything else, I was sad to leave. I would miss them. And you wouldn't understand how emotional the last concert really was. I spent everyday with all of them, and I didn't know what to do without them. They were the !most amazing people I've ever met and I didn't know how my own tour would work out. Other than those thoughts, I could only think of one thing, thanks for the Tour Life boys.
