The Opening Act (H.S) {Completed - Editing}

First Show

MissAvaMae: my last day at home with him and this is the love I get... can't wait to hit the road to see all of you / sing n dance for all of you... but I'll miss my dork :(

"Harry," I whine, trying to drag him out of bed. "Get up. We have to leave in a matter of hours and I'm not going to spend my last hours with you at home laid in bed."

"But so many things can happen in bed. So many fun things."

I roll my eyes and groan. "Oh my god. Get your ass up, I wanna make breakfast with you."

Eventually he does get up. We don't spend a lot of time making and eating breakfast, since there was so much I still had to do before we left. Harry was coming to Vancouver with me for my first show, and he's planning on sticking around until we get back to LA, which is three or four shows.

The hours before getting on the plane all become a blur, especially the hour before. My mom was the most frantic out of all of us. She and my dad were doing the same thing Harry was doing, riding along until the LA show.

When we land in Vancouver, I'm dragged to the venue for rehearsal while my mom and dad get everything settled on the bus. Harry comes with me, wanting to see the place.

As I run through stuff and everything gets set up, I start to get more and more excited. This was my first ever headlining show. I was the main act, no longer the opening act.

Another way I started to view it: I was becoming my own artist, not just the girl who opens for One Direction. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved every minute of touring with them. But it's time for me to do my own thing.

As soon as I got on the stage, my tour manager Becca ran over to me with a box. "Good, you're free! I need you to help set up the stage. The stage manager wasn't sure what your whole vision was, so they hesitated doing everything."

I take the box from her, setting it down at my feet before looking through it. I glanced around the stage, taking in what I was working with. I have Harry help me set out all of the lights and decorations and then I'm summoned backstage. My mom tells me we have only an hour before meet and greet starts and that I need to start getting ready.

I had an entire team with me now. I have Rose, who's my makeup artist; Gabbie, who's in charge of my hair; and Gwen, who's in charge of wardrobe. I have an assistant, who's name is Victoria. I have an actual person filming behind the scenes and bits of my shows, rather than filming it all myself, and his name is Trey. Trey was rolling as soon as I was in my makeup chair, filming me being an idiot with Harry and pissing off Rose while she tried to start my makeup. I had music blasting, so naturally I was trying to jam out. Eventually I stop, settling down while Harry pulls a chair up next to me to talk with me while I get ready.

"You nervous at all?"

I shrug as he grabs my hand to hold. Gabbie comes over and starts to straighten my hair, staying out of the way of Rose as best as she can.

"I feel like I have first show jitters for sure, but I think the main thing right now is that I'm super excited. I've always wanted this and I'm super excited to finally like, put the show in action I guess. I've been working on this like crazy."

He nods, bringing my hand up to his lips to kiss my knuckles. "From what you were doing in rehearsal, and from what I saw you do opening up for us, every part of the show is going to be awesome. I'm so proud of you."
