Chapter 20: The Concert

Riley’s POV

“Thanks for forgiving me, I know say this every day, but I feel like you need to hear it every day. I seriously don’t des—”

I laugh and cut him off, “Tony it’s okay seriously! You really don’t need to, as long as you were sincere the first time you apologized, then I’m cool.”

He smiles, “Thanks—so are you off to the concert?”

I nod, “Yup, are you sure you don’t want to go?”

He shakes his head, “You’ve asked me a million times, and the answer is not going to change, I’m cool with staying here, go on and have fun backstage with the guys!”

I sigh, “Tony, you don’t need to be afraid of the guys, they’re your friends now too!”

He nods, “I know, but I don’t want to follow you EVERYWHERE, besides I think I’ll just work overtime again today.”

I smile, “Okay, bring me some pancakes later?”

“Okay, have fun Riley!”

I wave the door, and drive out to the boys’ concert. It’s been a couple of weeks after the situation with the guys and Tony, but we are all cool now, even James is talking to Tony. I think Tony is really grateful though, he always apologizes and thanks us for forgiving, but I always explain to him he doesn’t have to, I just needed to hear it once.

When I get to the center, I end up meeting Perrie, Eleanor, and Danielle in the front to take pictures with fans. Although we got off to a rough start, we are all really good friends now, maybe even best friends, if I ever need help; they’re there in a blink of an eye.

“Hey Riley, I heard you’re getting a special surprise from a special someone tonight…” Danielle says as her, Perrie, and Eleanor are fan girling.

I raise my eyebrow, “Uh—what are you talking about?”

Perrie grabs my arms, and runs with me backstage with the others, “Oh, you’ll see!”

I turn to Eleanor, “What’s going El?” Eleanor smiles, but just shrugs her shoulders, as we watch the concert begin.

The boys come out with sing Kiss You, then they sing They Don’t Know About Us, after that they sing, She’s Not Afraid. That’s when they take Twitter questions. That’s when Zayn, Louis, and Niall look are way and give the girls a look. I turn around and see them giving two thumbs up.

I make a pouty face, and fold my arms to my chest. I turn to Danielle and she giggles, “Aww, babe, don’t pout your face. You’ll get your surprise soon.”

That’s when Harry comes backstage toward us, “So now this song is dedicated to a girl who is special to one of my best friends, he wants her to be on stage while he sings. We usually sing this as a group and with background music, but he wants to sing this by himself and a cappella. Liam come out here  and sing to your girl…”
