The One

(2) Meeting Them

*Lauren's p.o.v*
Today is August 7, the day before the concert. Me and Macy were currently making posters, I mean why not? Macy's says 'Niall You Sexy Beast!!' I laughed at that. "What? It's true, and you know it." She told me with a wink. I felt a warm sensation creep up my cheeks when she said that.
When I was younger I had a huge crush on Niall, he was my everything.
The day he left I felt a huge part of my heart breaking. I was about 12 at the time.
I told Macy the day my father was going to jail. I had to open up to someone or else I would've burst out on someone random.
I trust Macy with all my secrets. She would never tell anyone unless I let her.
My poster, unlike Macy's says '#1D&chill' haha I know.
"You ready?" Macy asks me, we are about to leave to the concert, one day before the concert even starts. Yeah we're just crazy like that.
"Yeah" I breath out.
"Ok!" She chirps.
We head out the door saying bye to Macy's mom and dad. We packed our stuff into the car hours before because Macy wanted to make sure we had everything we would need for two nights. We are gonna be staying in a hotel afterwards.
Once we got in the car Macy drove out immediately putting on One Direction's newest album. Tomorrow was gonna be amaZAYN hahah see what I did there? No okay -_-
The car ride was silent, not awkwardly silent but a peaceful silence.
"Hallo? Lauren? Earth to Lauren!" Macy yelled in my ear. I flinched "What?!"
"I asked you a question."
"Oh um yes?"
"You should really pay attention sometimes." She sighed. I scoffed.
"Incase you haven't noticed we're here." Macy said.
"Oh yeah I totally knew we where here." I replied as I got out of the car.
The arena was huge!
"Don't just stand there help me!" Macy yelled out to me from the other side of the car, clearly struggling to pull out the posters and various bags.
"Oh right,sorry" I murmured.
I helped her get our posters and stuff out. Surprisingly no one was here. No cars no nada.
"YASSS!! We're first,We're first" Macy said in a sing song voice while doing a little victory dance. I laughed at her.
After about 10 minutes of 'dancing' we finally got everything we needed out and we were heading towards the doors. When I got there
I dropped all the stuff I had in my hands..oops?
Macy put a little blanket on the ground and placed our signs by the fence, I began snacking on the little food we brought.

~*~*~*2 hours later~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Lauren" Macy said slowly patting my arm a little to hard.
"Mmm?" I was on my phone scrolling through tweets. "Look" She pointed to the parking lot.
"Oh my god" I couldn't believe my eyes, One Directions tour bus parked right next to our car.

-Niall's p.o.v-
I was shocked when I saw a car parked next to our tour bus, no fan has ever come this early.
"Wow" Liam said from behind me.
"Must be really eager to see us, eh?" He chuckled.
"Well Niall, you should wake up the boys." Liam told me as he adverted his attention to me.
"Why mee?" I whined. I always had to wake them up, and it was never pretty.
"I always have to wake them up!" Liam sighed, "Fine I'll do it."
I smirked while doing a little mini dance, earning a chuckle from Liam.
I don't have to get slapped today.
"Yay! Good luck." I told him as I walked slowly to my bunk, mine was farther than the boys and closer to the kitchen. Hehe midnight snacking is easy for me this way.
I scrounged around under my bunk until I felt it's hard cover.
I slowly began taking out my scrapbook.
I opened it to the very first page, it was me and my best friend. Lauren was her name, she was the kindest and most beautifulest girl you could ever meet.
She always encouraged me to keep on singing when others told me I suck.
She's the one who helped me be who I am today. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have even gone to the X-Factor.
Truth is, I miss her, so much. Every concert I look around the arena with hopes of finding her but I never do.
The picture was of Lauren kissing my cheek the day I left for the X-Factor, the day I left her with her abusive father.
I felt guilty when I left her, the sad part was when I made it, I gradually forgot about her, I forgot to call her when I promised her I would call her everyday.
Her birthday is in a few days, so I bought her a necklace. I've had it for years in hopes of giving it to her but no luck. In the picture she had a tear streaming down her face.
I flipped the page, the picture was of me and Lauren again, she was smiling with her amazing smile and her bright blue eyes were stunning. I was hugging her, smiling while looking at her.
I miss those days.
The last picture I had of her was one I found on her friends Instagram, she was wearing the beanie I gave her, smiling at the the camera with her blue eyes showing sadness but trying hard to hide it, she was truly beautiful.
