Begin Again

Chapter 10

Never in my life had I ever been stuck, surrounded by so many screaming, squealing, and crying girls. I turned towards Bella who was staring up at the stage, which was literally and arms length away.

My stomach started churning. As much as I didn't want to leave Bella here, I wasn't sure I could do this. Before I could say anything, the lights in the stadium shut off and the opening act basically appeared out of no where on stage.

The people around me started jumping to the beat of the music. People started getting too close to me. If the whole concert was like this my claustrophobia would definitely make it worse.

I forced my eyes shut and tried to block out everything. My mind went blank as I tried to mentally and physically prepare myself for the next few hours. I mean, it couldn't be that bad right?

***********************************************************************

An ear piercing scream erupted through the crowd as different music started blasting. Immediately I clamped my hands over my ears, my ears felt like they were going to explode. These girls needed to take five million chill pills before I end up smacking all of them!

Up on stage was One Direction. Not the opening act. The combination of the noise and the little space i had made it difficult for me to take in a breath. I couldn't do this.

"Bella!" I yelled, trying to get her attention.

She didn't seem to hear me. She was too mesmerized by the boys on stage. I glanced towards the stage and made eye contact with Zayn. There was a break between songs so he started laughing a little. Probably because he knows I called them self centered brats and now here I was sitting front row at their concert. He added a little wave in my direction before turning his attention to the rest of the crowd. I couldn't help but laugh a little at myself.

Harry seemed to notice our little exchange so he tried to figure out who Zayn was looking at.

Shit.

Harry's eyes landed right on me. He stopped where he was and just stared. Quickly, I tore my gaze from the stage.

I heard Louis whistle and laugh "Hello. Earth to Harry. Is anybody in there?"

Harry laughed "Shut up, Lou."

Since Harry was now preoccupied with talking, I looked back up towards the stage. Niall walked to the middle of the stage and screamed "Hello Mohegan Sun!"

He got his reply in the form of screaming. Lots and lots of screaming.

Then Liam asked "How are you doing tonight? It's great to be here!"

Again, lots of screaming.

Louis laughed "Okay, now that we have Harry back from La La Land, let's get things started!"

The entire crowd screamed and started jumping. The song "C'mon, C'mon" started. The entire crowd was singing, more like screaming, along to the song. I was front row and I could barely her what they were saying.

"C'mon, C'mon" ended and Liam said "We're gonna slow it down a bit. Here's 'Little Things'."

The slower music started playing and all of them sat on the edge of the stage. Niall was playing the guitar. This song was one of the few I could actually kinda listen to without flinching. Every now and again during the song Harry would glance over at me. Harry's solo started and at the very end of it he locked eyes with me. I stood there just staring into his green eyes, getting lost in them. Shaking my head, I quickly looked down at the floor. What was that?

After their, I don't know, I lost track how many songs they actually played they started their "Twenty Questions" thing.

Liam read the first one "What is your ideal name for a cow? From Jessica, section 118."

All of the boys waved over towards section 118, but obviously they wouldn't be able to see where she was sitting. Zayn laughed "I think I'd name my cow... NIALL!"

He jumped onto Niall's back as Niall tried to look angry. The entire crowd burst with laughter. Louis walked over to their drummer and asked "How about you? What would your ideal name for a cow be?"

"I think Daisy."

Louis said "Well there you have it! The very original name of... Daisy. Now let's see that next question shall we?"

Zayn read "If you could design your own boxers, what would they look like? From Meghan, section 114."

Zayn pointed towards section 114, "There she is! Hi Meghan!"

The rest of the boys waved. Zayn said "well I think I'd have a box on the front that said 'Handle with care'."

The crowd all laughed at Zayn's little joke.

Niall laughed "I'd go with clovers!"

Instead of laughing, the entire crowd SCREAMED.

Liam looked at Louis and said "Now let's hear Louis's clever and original design."

Louis scratched the back of his neck, laughing slightly "Oh, clever and original. I feel pressured. Um. I think I'm gonna have to go with my gut and say... Stripes."

Screaming. Lots and lots and LOTS of screaming.

Harry laughed "Okay, let's see the next question. What's the weirdest thing that's happened since you have been at Mohegan Sun? From Hailey, section 56."

Zayn glanced at me and laughed awkwardly "Well, the whole thing with the elevator situation."

Louis jumped in and nudged Harry, "Oh! How about that girl on the first we were here! The one we saw in the hallway!"

Oh shit...
