My Chance - The Vamps fanfiction

Chapter 13

I was standing backstage as the boys were finishing their set, the audience were going crazy and I could barely hear them over their loud screams. Mr Antastic, the host for the show ran up on stage, this hadn't happened the night before. They were meant to leave before the host came on but instead they stayed where they were.

"We have a lot of talent in this building as you can see," Mr Antastic said gesturing to the boys, "but there's a whole lot more coming your way." The crowd erupted into cheers assuming he was talking about McFly.

"I would like to welcome my sister onto the stage and if you're loud enough she might even sing us a little song." Connor said into the microphone, my whole body froze and electrical equipment was being strapped to me as quickly as possible. One of the technicians gave me a small nod and I felt someone lightly shove my back. Without realizing I was walking out on stage in front of thousands of people.

The first person I saw onstage was Connor, he smiled at me encouragingly. The crowd were still screaming wildly as I came onstage, I found myself standing next to Brad in the middle of the stage staring out at the McFly fans in front of me.

"So, Elle are you going to sing us a song?" Brad asked handing me a microphone.

"I suppose I have too" I said glaring at him. They all knew how much I hated performing in front of people. James must have noticed how scared I was as he came over to whisper encouraging words in my ear.

"You're an amazing singer and don't worry, the rest of us are here to help if you need it, you're a really talented musician." I smiled at him and silently thanked him.

"I'd like to dedicate this song to James McVey because of his love for this artist." I looked at him and saw his face light up knowing exactly who I was talking about.

I started singing the first few lines to the song Mean by Taylor Swift. A few lines in Tristan picked up the drum beat and he was soon joined by Connor and James.

Slowly they all made their way to the back of the stage leaving me at the front, all eyes were on me. I began to feel the pressure and I turned my head to the left, I saw James out of the corner of my eye and sent him a worried look. Suddenly he began to harmonize with me and Brad came to stand by my side, he grabbed my hand and we turned my solo performance into a duet. As soon as the song finished I took a deep breath, the boys were right I hated them for doing this to me but I loved them for it at the same time.

I turned and ran straight into Conner pulling him into a massive hug, I felt him tense up a bit because of the shock and then relax and hug me back.

"I hate you for this but thank you" I whispered, a massive grin spreading across my face. He pulled away and smiled back at me bringing his microphone to his mouth.

"She forgives us boys" Connor said winking at the others, I'd completely forgotten there were thousands of other people watching us. Brad thanked the audience and we all left the stage walking back to the dressing room.

Once we were back I was bombarded with questions from McFly and their crew. However, I couldn't take any of it in, I'd just performed in front of thousands of people and it felt great.

I sat back in silence thinking about everything that had happened in the past month. Everything was happening so fast and it was hard to believe that any of it had really happened.

"What are you thinking about Elle?" Connor asked making the rest of the room go quiet.

"Just that in the past month my life has been pretty crazy" I replied smiling at him.

"Whys that?" Danny asked from the other side of the room.

"I found out I had a brother, I moved to Birmingham, my mum died, I made some of the best friends possible, I finished my GCSE's, I met my idols and I performed in front of thousands of people." I explained, everyone looked at me in shock, I couldn't figure out what I'd said which made them look at me the way they did.

"Elle, you didn't tell us your mum died" Brad explained, pity was spreading across his face.

"When did this happen?" James asked.

"The day I met Tristan and Connor for the first time, because as soon as someone great comes into my life someone has to walk out." I mumbled bitterly standing up and leaving the room. I felt everyone's eyes follow me as I left the room.

I pulled out my phone and called my mum's number, of course I knew no one would pick up but I just wanted to hear her voice again. I listened to her soothing voice as a few tears dripped down my face, I wish I'd been closer with her but I never expected to have her taken away from me so suddenly.
