Plot Twist ((Niam))

Chapter 8

"HI NIALL!"

"OHMYGOD"

"TOUCH ME NIALL PLEASE!"

This was all I heard as the 5 of us made out way towards the backstage. Today is the big day. My first ever concert. Okay maybe it’s not my first ever one but it feels like it is. My heart is pounding and my palms are sweating.

We've rehearsed for 6 hours for the past 2 days and I've been singing whenever I'm alone in my flat and especially in the shower but I still can't help but feel the knots that's forming in my tummy. Its one thing to let everything out in the shower but it's another to do it in front of thousands of people.

We were having a little meeting or pep talk or something backstage and I can hear the girls screaming from the other side.

"Holy shit" I murmured.

"You can do this Niall" Liam smiled and I couldn't help but smile back.

"So yeah. We're back on stage and we just have to be ourselves. Alright lads?" Louis asked and we all responded with a cheerful 'alright'.

5 minutes later, we were being ushered towards the stage and as soon as we step out of the curtains and into the bright and humungous stage, the whole crowd started screaming.

My jaw dropped as I took in the sight before me. There were thousands of girls, and boys maybe, who were screaming at us and even though the lights are so bright, I can see that some of them were crying like they couldn't believe they were here.

I, myself, am surprised as well. I don't belong here. I'm just a loser who gets teased a lot for being gay. I'm not a pop star. Not until a week ago. Yet here I am, standing on stage in front of thousands of screaming girls.

"Hello girls" Liam said and the screaming went louder if that was even possible. "I know you're all excited to have our Niall back and to have us back. And so are we" 

I squinted as I scanned the crowd. There were multiple fan signs and posters that were being swayed around by the girls themselves but a particular one caught my eye. 

It was neon green with the words "Niall, you used to date me, remember?" on it. The girl was a brown-haired cutie who happens to be wearing a shirt with my face on it. I got momentarily confused because I've been gay my whole life and I don’t even remember ever being interested in any girls. But then again, I don't even remember most things.

I leaned in closer to Zayn. "Did I really use to date her?" I asked and Zayn chuckled.

"Nah. You like boys, right? Some fans are just delusional and trying to take advantage of your amnesia" Zayn chuckled slightly but his face suddenly turned serious. "Listen to me, Niall. By this time, the whole world knows of your amnesia and most of them will try and take advantage of you. Never listen to what anyone says except for your family and us. Okay? Especially the paps, never listen to a think they say"

 I nodded quickly and Zayn smiled and gave me a quick hug which resulted to more screaming.

The first song was apparently our single for Red Nose Day or something like that and I only have a few lines but I'm still pretty nervous. 

My heart was pounding so loudly that I could barely hear the drums but as soon as the words flew out of my mouth, I was instantly relieved and I even jumped around as I sang my line.

Everybody in the crowd screamed for me and everyone on the stage looked relieved that I pulled it off.

The next few songs were actually pretty fun to sing and I had great time jumping around and just making jokes on stage with the boys.
