The Festival (One Direction Fanfic)

"Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad? My mind keeps saying run as fast a you can!". Olly jumped about on stage singing Trouble Maker as me and my friends danced on the grass. We're at the V festival and it is A-mazing! The atmosphere is great, evreyones laughing, singing, habing a good time. There's a few people sunbathing on the field behind us, the weather is beautiful, the sky was blue with no clouds insight, which is unheard of considering we're in England. Jess' mum bought her tickets for her birthday but she refused to go if we couldn't come with her, so she bribed her mum to buy extra tickets. That's Jess for you, she always gets her own way, whatever the situation. She flips her long red hair over her shoulder and flutters her long curly lashes that surround her bright orbs, and thats it, they're under her spell. She was honestly the defention of beauty, I have always been and super jealous of her... As Olly finished his last song my feet began to kill so I planned to changed my shoes.

"Oh my god!! That was awesome guys!" Jess screamed over the cheers.

I grinned and said "I know, thanks so much for bringing us!", Ali giggled and nodded in agreement. Ali was quite a quiet girl, but when you get to know her - or if she has a few drinks - she really comes out of her shell. I think she just has a lack of confidence, but I'm not sure why. She's not your stereotypical beauty, but she's so striking and she gets a lot of male attention. She has this wavy black hair that is often worn up in a bun with a cute little bun band around it. Her eyes are the brightest blue and she has really light freckles dotted across the bridge of her nose. I looked away from her nd back to Jess.

"Jess, I'm just going to swap my shoes, these are killing me!" I told her while I picked up my small leather bag. 

"Alright, but be quick! Apparently there's a surprise act on in a minute" She replied.

Hmm, I wonder who it could be? I didn't think there was meant to be any surprises, I guess it could be a last minute change of plan or something. I shrugged, "Ok, save my space" I called before wondering of to our little put-up seats, I sat down on the checkered blanket that we had laid out on the warm grass. My feet were saw after dancing for so long, so I decided to changed out of my wedges in to my cream lace pumps. These are my favourite shoes, they were white to begin with, but after going to 101 festivals, they're more of a creme and they have a few holes in the sole. I stood up and examined my outfit. Above my pumps was a bundle of ankle bracelets and braids that I had collected over the years, I buy one every time I go to a festival, which is usually once or twice a year. Patches of colorful lace flowers were dotted around on my light denim shorts that sat on my waist, my top was a loose creme crop top that hung just above my belly button. I walked back over to the crowd that surrounded the stage and tried to fight my way back through the crowd, and as I did, the next act came on.

"Everyone, give it up for ONE DIRECTION" My head bounced up at the name and my eyes widened, One direction must be the surprise act! My heart began beating a hundred times faster than usual and my head started punding, I was so excited yet so shocked. I snapd my head back and forth searching for those boys, but I couldn't see anything, I was only small. I heard Jess and Ali call my name, but I couldn't see them anywhere. Fantically, I began to push through the crowd when someone grabbed my hand, as I looked up I came face to face with my best friend, Jess.

"Thank god, I thought-" I was cut off and we were separated as a massive group of screaming girls battled through the crowd, pushing me around. i bounced from one girl to the next as they eagerly tried to get to the front and see One Direction. A girl shoved me hard, makeing me trip and fall in to a guy, causing him to spill his beer all over him.

"Oi! What the fuck do you think you're doing!" He shouted.

"Sorry - I didn't mean to - I was pushed!" I tried to explain while I was falling around, but it didn't seem to work, he shoved me even further to the front until I was being crushed against the barrier.

"Shit.." I said, my wrist was trapped between the metal poles and everyone was to busy dancing and screaming to help me. I looked up and saw them, we were so close, only a few meters apart. All five of the boys were on stage singing Live While We're Young, jumping around and grinning like weirdos, just like normal.

As they came to a finish, Harry stepped forward, "SURPRISE!" he laughed. The ever growing crowd screamed again and I felt more people push forward as I was shoved even further in to the barrier, I yelped and cursed under my breath. My hand was stuck between my body and the barrier. I tried to turn my head to find some help, but all I could see were people, mostly crazy girls crying and grinning like maniacs.

"Jess! Ali! Where are you?" I called, but no reply. My chest was really hurting now, after all I'm being crushed, it felt like I was at the bottom of a pile up. My hand started to go numb and I couldn't breath properly, I started freaking out, I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Eveything became hundred times louder and I needed to get out of here and be on my own, it was so overhelming. I gripped  on to the barrier and closed my eyes for a few seconds, as soon as the dizzynes went away I looked for someone with water. I needed water. Thank fully, a guy walked past the barrier, in front of the stage, I think he was security.

"Hey!" I shouted "Please! Help?" He looked at me and shrugged, then just kept on walking. Oh well thanks a lot, mate. "Ow!" I screamed again, but the guy didn't even look up. I turned to the stage to see Harry end his solo, I looked at him as he fell silent, the other boys began to sing. He looked up at the never ending crowd and waved at a few people, it looked like he was scanning the crowd, until his eyes met mine. I probably looked a mess,

I felt like crying, I suddenly felt so self concious. What's the odds that Harry Styles sees you when you're having a panic attack? But I half smiled because he saw me, he noticed me, he acknowledged my existance and knows that I'm a human living on earth with him... If you know what I mean? I continued to try and escape, but as I looked up again I noticed he was still watching me, he must of notice that I was struggling because he mouthed to me "Are you ok?". I considered shrugging it off and saying I'm fine, after all he was in the middle of a performance and I didn't want to annoy him, I especially didn't want to draw any attention to myself, he probably didn't even really care. Then suddenly a sharp pain shot through my fingers and up through my arm,  causing me to grimmace and let out a small cry. Before I had even replied, he signalled something to Niall, who nodded and smiled, then he jumped of the stage and made his way in my direction. I swear in that moment, my heart fell in to my stomach and I forgot how to just, just be.
