Still The One

Thirty Eight

After about ten minutes, we were there. The gates were just about to close. We’re lucky that Hannah informed me. We waited for the boys to come out of their dressing rooms. At last, they came. Liam was trying not to look at us. He kept his head down. Zayn was still staring at the mirror. Niall came and tested the mike. ‘POTATOES!’ He shouted into it.*A/N: oops carroty moment stab me later* The crowd’s screams and shouts almost deafened our ears. Harry talked a bit with Hannah. Louis just stood next to Jake. ‘c’mon now, let’s go.’ Harry said after a few moments. He went near to the curtains and shouted into his mic, ‘ARE YOU READY?’ He was greeted with a LOT of shouts. Then Niall kissed me one last time and the four followed Harry into the arena. We stayed in the backstage. We could hear them starting the song ‘Kiss You’. My heart stopped breathing every time Niall sang his parts. Then after a few hours, the gig ended. ‘Thank you all for another great show!’ We heard Zayn say. The girls screamed the loudest yet and the boys came backstage again.

I hugged Niall. ‘How can you tolerate their shouts?’ I asked him. He shrugged. ‘We’re used to it.’ He replied. They all drank a lot of water. Then Paul came. They talked for some time. Then they gave some autographs to a few girls who were backstage the whole time. ‘Hi,’ one of the girls said to Louis. ‘I’m Nora. This is my twin Dora.’ She pointed to the girl next to her. They shook hands. I looked at Harry. He was talking with Jake. Zayn and Elise were laughing for some reason. Then Niall nudged me. I turned to where he was pointing.

In a dark corner, Liam and Zoey were kissing.

 I nudged Hannah and showed her. She smiled. Then Harry turned at us. ‘Time to… what?’ He said when Hannah shhhed him. I pointed towards Liam and Zoey. ‘Oh.’ Harry said. Then we saw them break apart. Both were redder than raspberry jam. Zoey looked at us. We started acting as if we didn’t notice them at all. She looked convinced. Then Paul said, ‘Harry, why aren’t you going? The shows over.’ Then we nudged the others and went back to the car. Paparazzi followed us right to our doorstep. My mum had to shut the door in their faces. Jake and Zoey looked at us once we we’re inside. ‘We should be really going. Mum’s waiting for us.’ Jake said. ‘Yeah,’ Zoey nodded. ‘Alright,’ I said, ‘but come again soon!’ I accompanied them to the front gate. I whispered to Zoey, ‘I saw what you two did, you know?’ She turned bright red. I patted her at the back. ‘See you later.’ I bade them goodbye. I went inside. ‘So,’ I said to them. ‘Let’s spend the evening  with some sleep, shall we? I need some peace for my ears.’ They all nodded. Then we had our dinner early and fell asleep. Hannah and Elise had decided to stay with us.

I was sleeping calmly, until I felt a warm hand squeezing my own. I blinked for some moments and saw the bright but teary eyes of Niall. I heard a few cries beside me but then I lost my senses due to an extremely severe pain coming from somewhere in  my left leg.

*OOOH DRAMA*
