Care For You // n. h.

After their opening act, me and Lisa took our seats with some other people from backstage and relaxed.

We were on the floor but, not in the front row. We were in the middle though, and our seats were actually really good.

"It seems a bit odd that we don't get put in the front row, I know, but its safer to be in the middle because in the situation that someone like a family member or one of the boys girlfriends is with us and gets recognized, she can't get mobbed because she's surrounded by us and there's security close by. And if were right in the front we could easily get mobbed." She explained. I didn't really understand but I shook my head anyways.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." She said reaching into her purse and pulling out two lanyards with passes attached. "We need to have these on when we go backstage so they know were allowed to be back there and that were crew members not fans. They said VIP passes on them but had "crew member" written across them in blue sharpie. I slipped it around my neck and waited for the show to start.

It began and their fans went absolutely wild. I don't think I've ever heard people scream so loud in my life.

When they came onstage I saw some girls start crying hysterically and was a little surprised. I knew that the boys were pretty famous, but I wasn't sure how famous exactly. Their was mascara running down their cheeks and I wished I could go up to them with a tissue and fixed it. I hated seeing girls with raccoon eyes. It reminded me of when my parents died, because despite the fact I cried every day, I would put on mascara. So I had raccoon eyes all the time.

Me and Lisa danced to their songs and enjoyed ourselves. It was nice to see all the boys and how they perform onstage. They seem to have a lot of fun. Especially Niall, I couldn't help but stare at him sometimes.

After the show it was hard to leave. There was fans all over the place. Security led Lisa, some other people, and I backstage. As we walked around girls stared and pointed at us knowing we were probably someone who knew the boys.

As we approached the door to go backstage, girls started swarming and begged us to take them inside too.

"Please! I want to meet the boys so bad! They mean the world to me!" A girl shouted as she tugged on my arm.

"Harry saved my life! Take me inside please!" Another one said to Lisa. Security started pushing them away from us and telling them to step off. I wanted to stop them but I couldn't find the power to do it. I wished I could take all these girls back with me.

Security shoved the fans away and rushed us through the door labeled "Employees Only". I kinda waited a minute and contemplated going back out to try and take some girls with me but Lisa grabbed my arm.

"Don't worry about it. It happens at every concert. We can't take everyone." She told me as we walked away.

She led us through and we finally found the boys who were talking to crew members. Louis spotted us first and walked over.

"Hey! How'd you like the show?" He asked us.

"It was amazing. I didn't realize you guys were so good." I told him. I saw Niall turn around after hearing my voice and walk over.

"Hey, Alice!" He said excitedly.

"Hey, Niall." I responded.

"So, what did you think?" He said stepping closer to me.

"I loved it. I had so much fun. You guys are really good." I said smiling. I noticed the other boys walked away and people were starting to disperse.

"Good. I was a bit worried I'd make a fool out of myself." He said staring everywhere but right in my eyes. He was clearly nervous.

"Even if you did somehow mess up, I'd probably still think you did amazing." I said smiling. He looked up at me and laughed. Our faces were so close. I felt butterflies in my stomach and tried really hard not to blush. I felt his hands grab my waist and pull me closer to him. I didn't know if I was feeling good nerves or bad nerves. I gulped hard and put my hands on his chest to try and create a little distance between us. But, he managed to still pull me closer.
