Wayward

Stage Presence

We had just finished singing one of our songs when Kira stood up from her drums and walked over to my microphone.

" WHO'S HAVING FUN TONIGHT!" I stepped away to let her do her little speech to the crowd, Kira is the one is connects with the crowd more than anyone else in the band. " So listen, let's get serious for just a moment. We all know you are here for the boys but I just wanted to thank you guys for also supporting us! Yeah it's a little cheesy but without you guys we would still be cheating our way through calculus."

" I didn't even make it to calculus." I look over at Alilith and smile, of course she would say that.

" Yeah because you were to busy making out with Jarr-" Alilith screamed, cutting Karson's words off.

" WE NEVER SPEAK OF THAT." I giggled, I'm glad they are back to talking. Kira and Karson started reading signs in the audience that were highly inappropriate. I let my eyes wander the crowd and spotted a group of girls with bikinis on, I let my mouth drop open.

" Haddi what's wrong?" I pointed to the girls and motioned to put them on the big screen. Karson handed me a mic, I squatted down and frowned towards them.

" You guys have to be cold, someone bring them coats please." The girls starting freaking out and I shook my head. " I cannot believe you guys came here dressed like that, you don't want to attract the wrong attention."

" But look they got the attention they wanted." My head whipped around and Louis was walking out onto the stage. " We can get these lovely ladies some jackets, we don't want our fans getting cold or sick." I stood up and watched him walk over to me.

" That would be great." I looked back at the girls and saw some security guards making their way through the crowd with some One Direction sweatshirts.

" Hows everyone like Wayward?!?" The crowd responded with a lot of screaming, I waved them down and cleared my throat.

" Thanks you guys! We should probably get off the stage and let the boys start their concert!" I smiled at the crowd and put the microphone back onto it's stand. I followed the girls off stage and turned around, Louis was walking off slowly searching the crowd for something. He finally made it off the stage and looked at me with a deadpanned stare.

" He's out there and he knows we are looking." I watched him look at his phone and type something.

" So it's not just a rumor? I though-" Louis shook his head.

" He has known everything, from our next song to the next huge album release and drama." I followed him into the sitting area and he grabbed his earpiece and mic. " Don't go wandering off alone okay?" I nodded and walked into the dressing room, Kira and Karson were pushing Alilith into the closet.

" You guys, really?" Kira grabbed my wrist and pushed me in with her. I felt Alilith push me off of her and stand up. "Ow." I sat up and watched Alilith's shadow trying to open the door. "It's locked."

"Tch. I know that." Wow, she's angry. I heard Karson and Kira laughing, and them their voices slowly faded away. "KARSON! KIRA!!"

" They left..." Alilith sighed and pounded the door.

" I heard." I flinched at her harsh tone and watched her frown at the door.

" Alilith, you okay?" I heard some shuffling and made out her figure leaning against the wall opposite mine.

" The concert just kinda stressed me out, it's nothing."

" Was it the whole X thing?"
