*PROLOGUE*
Nashville. The city of country music legends, big dreams, and discoveries. I grew up just on the outskirts of here, and I loved every minute of it. The Little L.A.
Hmm. Lets see. How do you start every amazing fan-fic? Well, I'm going to start with hi. I'm Kensey Jates. I'm 15 and am 5'5. I have blue eyes and dirty blond hair. But you don't care too much about that do you? So,, instead, I'll introduce you to my best friend, Madie Mills. Its pronounced just like 'made' with an E sound at the end. She has chocolate brown eyes and wavy brown hair, with a hint of red in it. Shes the same age as me and estimated to be around 5'2.
I'm sure you don't really care about either of our details. All you really need to know, is that we are both major Directioners! Now that you ono that, you're good to go!
This is the story of how Madie and I fell gracefully into the arms of 2/5 of One Direction... well after Niall accidentally hit me with a door, and then I fell on asphalt that is.
*CHAPTER 1*
"Ok, this is the moment we have been waiting our whole lives for, Madie." I said trying to remain calm enough to breathe. "To see if we won tickets to the one, the only, amazingly awesome," she paused, "ONE DIRECTION!" we yelled simultaneously.
We logged on to the Disney Channel website to see the posting of the winner of two tickets to One Direction, live in concert, at Nashville. As soon as the screen loaded we saw the article in the right hand corner that I read aloud,
"THE WINNER OF OUR 1D CONTEST DRAWING OF 2 TICKETS TO SEE ONE DIRECTION LIVE AT NASHVILLE IS... CONGRATULATIONS TO MADIE MILLS!!!!"
We looked at each other the we both took a deep breath and screamed at the top of our lungs and jumped up and down in my bedroom. Being 15 meant we got to go to a concert by ourselves and see One Direction!
"Three words. Best. Day. Ever!" Madie said.
***********
"Girls! Hurry up! You're gonna be late!" My mother called from down stairs. We got up from my bed and ran straight out the door to the car. Even though we got to stay at the concert by ourselves, we are still only 15, which means no drivers license.
We only had to drive about 15 minutes to get to the Bridgestone Arena where 1D was at. When we got there, Madie and I smoothed out our matching 1D shirts and said bye to mom and thanks for dropping us off. She said,"I love you! Don't forget you are going to be staying over with Madie for a while till I get back from New York." I had no desire to go to New York. I went once with mom on a work trip and I never want to go back. Its too big and crowded for my taste. "Oh and don't forget my cell wont work out there. If you need anything Mrs.Mills will help you. Ok I love you honny. Have fun!" "love you too!" I yelled as she was leaving.
We walked towards the the giant doors that read 'enter'. "Why is she going to new York again?" Madie asked. "She is going to visit dad for their anniversary while hes there working." I answered "Aww. That's sweet." Madie said. "Yeah." was all I said. "How long will she be gone?" Madie asked. "I don't know... two months, maybe?" I answered. "What!? But your birthday is in like two weeks! They cant be gone during that! When is their actual anniversary?" Madie protested. "In like two weeks." I answered irritated. "Your birthday?" Madie asked. "Yep." I answered ending the subject.
When we got to the huge doors the lady there asked for our tickets and I said," Actually we are the winners of the Disney contest." We gave her our full names and contest details for proof since Disney sent the tickets to them and not Madie. The lady's eyes widened,"Oh well, in that case, follow me please."
We walked for what seemed like forever through tunnels in the arena until we got to a giant door. The lady took out a card from her pocket and swiped it against a thing on the door that looks like one of those credit card swipet things you see at Walmart. The door unlocked and she pushed it open.
When we walked through we looked to our right was darkness except for the blurs of thousands of people and hundreds of small lights from cell phones and camra flashes. To our left was the stage so close that I reached out and touched it. We were speechless. The lady kept walking and we forced ourselves to move. She stopped right next to the first row and said,"Your seats are just over there" She pointed over to the middle of the very first row.
It was all I could do to look at her wide eyed. she seemed to understand. She smiled and walked away.
"Kensey, is this real?" Madie asked me. To be honest I didn't even know, but if it wasn't then I didn't want to face the reality. I didn't answer her. We squeezed between the stage and peoples knees. On our seats there was a sign on them that read 'DISNEY V.I.P'. We both tore ours off very carefully so they didn't rip or tear. We sat down and just stared wide eyed at the stage directly in front of us, then looked over at each other.
"I pinch you, you pinch me?" I offered. "Ok." was all she could say. I reached over and pinched her arm while she reached over to pinch mine. "OW!" we both yelled, even though it was lost over the sound of the crowd's own noise.
"Madie.... we are going to finally going to see One Direction..." I trailed off into my daydream of the next hour and a half. That finally truely sank into both of us becase we both screamed as loud as we could until we couldn't breathe anymore. We gasped for air and laughed and I saw Madies eyes fill with water. I think mine did too.
Then, the lights dimmed to complete darkness. The stage suddenly flickered to life as a video of the boys came on. I didn't even see any of it because my eyes were so full of water.
When the video ended there was a burst of smoke and out came the boys. Madie and I stood up and never sat back down. We screamed and yelled as they began. The entire time Madie and I sang along and screamed and danced and had the best time of our lives.
Any Directioner would tell you they love each boy the same, and that's true for Madie and I. But if I had to pick just one Id say I'm a Niall girl. Hes kinda the odd ball in the group being Irish and blonde. and I'm a sucker for those blue eyes. Although if you asked Madie she'd say Louis. Those beautiful eyes of his and amazing personality.
Every so often when Niall or Louis had a solo we'd sing so loud that it was more of a shouting than singing. One time during the concert Niall came close to the crowed and reached his hand out to touch the fan's hands. He moved over to us and I reached out and touched his middle and index fingers. I looked up and smiled even wider.
He was close enough I could see him sweating a little. He smiled as much as I was and that's when our eyes locked. He obviously stayed to long because he missed a beat when he was suppposed to sing with the group. He stood up and pulled away while he was singing and I looked away.
Madie was starring at me. Her eyes darted from me to Niall and back to me. "Kensey? Did that really just happen?" she asked very wide eyed. "What?" I asked knowing exactly what she was talking about. "He..... LOOKED at you!" she said, saying,'looked' differently than the rest of the sentence. "I know! You don't think...." I trailed off. "I think so!" she nearly screamed.
The rest of the night I tried not to look at Niall and just at the band as a whole. Every now and then I'd fail and watch Niall. A few times I caught him looking at me! When I did we'd both look away quickly. I was freaking out on the inside. I mean.... me and Niall freaking Horan?! AHHHH!
