Secrets (On hold)

Chapter Two

Most of the fans know who Lou and I are, well definitely the big fans. Anyone can tell we are related though. Besides the hair, we have similar facial features, and close enough figures to where we can share clothes.  So when I walked out from backstage and into the crowd, people ran to me. They know who I am, and most likely why I am out there in the venue and not backstage. Everyone wants better seats so they can have a chance at being noticed by the boys.

 I speed walk up the aisle so I can get to the worst seats in the arena. Fans ask me to stop for a picture every once in awhile and I comply, smiling in the pictures and telling them to tweet me so I can follow them. When I am far enough away from the stage, by seats I know no one would intentionally want, I look around for some fans to give the better seats to. I see three girls completely decked out in One Direction gear; necklaces, T-shirts, and hats.  I giggle as I see one of them is wearing a shirt with a young Harry Styles face on it.  I walk over to where they are standing; the curly haired brunette notices me and pinches her friend. I say hi to them and hold up 3 tickets, raising my eyebrows at them.

They look at each other and start screaming. I laugh freely and glance around at the girls around us watching.

"What do you say you guys move to some better seats?" I yell over the music of the opening act.

"Lauren! THANK YOU!" The black haired shorter girl screams with tears running down her face. I just smile at them and motion for them to follow me.

We walk all the way back down the aisle towards the front near the stage, I get asked to stop for a few pictures along the way. I tell everyone that asks yes, although I’m thoroughly embarrassed. I’m not famous. When we approach the VIP seats, I flash the security my ID then show him their tickets and that they are with me. The girls are hysterical following behind me to the front row. Personally, I feel like front row is just too loud and bright. But I was hoping the boys would be able to see me, just like every other girl in the arena wants.

The opening act just ended, and they were setting up the boy’s stage. I remember Lou wanted me to go back and get her once I found some girls. I was about to go get her when the band walked out onto the stage, and the crowd went nuts.

Lou will figure out where I am.  I decide I could just hang out with the fan girls, they seem like they would be fun to spend the concert with. They were already screaming and crying, hugging each other. The opening video starts playing on the screens and blasting through the speakers. The crowd goes wild and I scream along with the other girls and jump around with them. I love the buzzing atmosphere of the boy’s concerts; I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of it. Everyone is so excited, happy, emotional. Yes the screaming girls get loud and often cause headaches, but the vibe of the concerts is always happy, and lifts everyone’s spirit. It reminds the boys, and all of us, why we’re away from home for so long and why we are doing this.

 I know they sometimes get bored of singing the same songs over and over, so they sometimes change up a few words in them just for a laugh, but personally, I love their music. I am definitely more into classic rock and indie, but I definitely enjoy their music. The fast ones have such a happy beat, and the slow ones have such meaningful words without being too deep. When it comes down to it, I enjoy going to their concerts and being a part of their tour. It’s a blessing, and because I always get to see the show, I like to try and help other girls have the best concert experience of their life. That’s why I like to give fans tickets. Also it’s fun to act like a crazy fan with all the girls I meet.

We scream and jump around as the opening video plays. I roll my eyes at Harry sitting in the chair trying to look all mature, and laugh at Zayn being a DJ.  The spotlights fly to different parts of the stage where Harry, Niall, Zayn, Louis, and Liam had appeared. Immediately they walk forward and started singing the beginning of Up All Night. The girls next to me are screaming and crying and I scream along with them. Laughing and waving to the boys. I can see Harry scanning the crowd and waving to people but he hadn't found me yet.

"HARRY!" I scream and wave my arms in the air. He can't hear me so I just decide to wait until he walks back over this way.

"Who's your favorite One Direction member?" The girl with the curls yelled at me, her accent it think and foreign, but then again so is mine to her.

I try to think of an answer, to be honest I love them all in different ways. But there was an obvious answer to who I care about the most, and that is Harry. I couldn't say that to the girl though.

"Liam!"  I yell over the music and smile at her.  "He's an amazing guy, one of my best friends!"

Her mouth and eyes widen at me as she nods and replies.

"Harry's my favorite! Do you think you can put in a good word for me?" She begs, yelling over the music and putting her hands together.

"Sure!" I smile at her, thinking that the least I could do is have Harry follow her.  "What's your twitter username?" I take out my phone and hand her it so she could type her username into my notes. When she hands my phone back to me, she repeatedly thanks me over and over again.

I grin as Niall dances past me, and sings into his microphone. I wave my arms trying to get any of their attention, but there’s just too much going on. I huff and dance around with the other girls.  When the song ends, and Niall starts talking to the fans, I could tell he was still upset about Serena, but he yells and tries to pump the crowd up to the best of his ability. When I Would starts playing, I watch the boys as they run all over the stage, genuinely enjoying themselves. I laugh watching Harry dance around and try to shake his hips. The girl next to me almost passes out. I turn to her with an idea.

"Hey, let's try to get Harry's attention!" I yell to her over the music. She widens her eyes and nodds her head furiously. When Niall's solo starts and I see Harry remove his ear piece, I turn to the girl and mouth now.

"HARRY!" We both scream and wave at him. His eyes flash up to where we are and he sticks his ear piece back in squinting his eyes at us. When his green eyes met mine, I smile at him and give him a tiny wave. The girl next to me starts flailing her arms and I laugh. His face immediately lights up in a huge grin, and he waves back to us. Zayn nudges him when he walks past, and Harry starts to sing, nearly missing his que.

"It worked! He waved to me!" The girl next to me screams and hugs me, wrapping both her arms around me to where I was stuck with my arms straight at my side. I laugh and she starts to jump up and down and I’m still trapped.  I feel someone pull her arms off me and I look over to see Bill, one of the boy’s security, standing on the other side of the fence in front of us. He must've seen her squeezing the crap out of me. I motion to him that it’s okay, and he nods his head. The girl widens her eyes at me and starts to scream apologies.

"It's okay! Bill overreacted!" I yell to her, smiling to let her know it is okay. I waited until she started screaming and dancing with her friends, then I turn to enjoy the show.

When the show is halfway over, and the boys are answering twitter questions, Louis walks over to the side of the stage and is talking to someone.  He then runs back over to the center and whispers something in Zayn’s ear, who laughs and looks in my direction. When Liam finishes what he is saying to the crowd, Louis taps him on the shoulder.

"I have an announcement!" Louis dances around and puts his elbow on Liam's shoulder.

"Do tell us mate?" Liam asks looking at Louis then back at the crowd. The crowd yells in response.

"We need Lauren Teasdale up here, she never checked in with her sister and the poor old woman is worried about her." Louis jokes. Liam bursts out laughing, probably because of the old woman crack at Lou but I freeze, shocked. The girl next to me starts pointing and screaming. I shake my head repeatedly and feel my eyes widen. Is this some kind of sick joke?

Bill raises and eyebrow at me and offers me a hand, so I can hop over the fence to get onto the stage. This must be Lou's revenge. She knows I hate being the center of attention.

"Lads I think I found her!" Niall calls pointing in my direction. I cover my face again with my hands as they all start yelling at me to get on stage, the crowd started cheering. I look up and see Louis about to jump off the stage; Bill motions for him not to.  The girl next to me starts shoving me forward; I can’t help feeling slightly betrayed by her.  I walk to Mark and he lifts me over the fence. The stage is pretty far off the ground, so Louis grabs my hand and Paul pushes me up. I'm sure my face is as red as an apple as I stand on stage in the blinding lights, in front of thousands of people. I shake my head at Louis and frown as I begin walking towards the back of the stage trying to hide my face. Josh sits at the drums laughing and I give him my best death glare.

"Let this be a lesson to all you kids not to disobey your older siblings!" Liam laughs and I hear it being projected all around the arena. Embarrassed, I walk straight backstage right as Last First Kiss starts playing.

I see Lou laughing hysterically at my expression. I walk right past her and she grabs my arm.

"Are you really that mad?" She asks over the music still laughing.

"Sleep with one eye open Lou." I warn, glaring at her and walking towards the backstage cooler to get a drink. I grab a red bull and pound it back.

"Don't drink another!" Lou grabs my hand before I can pick up another.

"Are you fucking serious Lou?" I narrow my eyes at her and grab a red bull with my other hand.

"Those are bad for you if you have more than one. And how many have you had today?" She asks trying to pull the can out of my hand.

"One. Now fuck off you owe me this after embarrassing the shit out of me in front of thousands of people." I stomp away to where the stage crew is watching the boys.
