Chapter 21


"Are you going to be okay over here? I know the wind is blowing pretty hard–"

"Liam, let's go!" Louis yells as he takes to the stage.

"I'm fine, Liam, Go!" I push him lightly towards the stage. He grins at me, coming back and stealing a kiss before sprinting onto the stage.

It is approximately 11pm, December thirty-first. New Years Eve. The boys are premiering a new song tonight, and I am going to release a song of my own. Which means that I am going be on stage. Live. On T.V. . . . In front of millions of people.

Emily comes over, latching herself to my arm, teeth chattering. "Man, it's so cold." She says, her voice stutters from a cold chill. She glances up to the stage, so I look too. Liam is standing closest to us, glancing our way every few seconds. "What's up with him?"

"I'm not exactly sure. He has been extremely . . . clingy . . . since the Ariana thing."

"Weird."

"Keara!"

I snap my head around quickly to see Summer rushing toward us. Immediately my stomach jumps into my throat. This is it.

"You're going on. In about 5 minutes." She begins pushing me toward the few steps that lead up to the stage while shoving a microphone in my glove covered hand. I pause on the steps to wait for my queue from the boys. My hands are shaking, but not from the cold. I have performed in front of thousands of people, many times while on this tour . . . just never when it has been broadcasted across the country. And it doesn't help that it is New Years, because literally every television in every home has this show broadcasting on it right now. That's around twenty-two million viewers. Yes, I looked it up.

"Alright everyone, are you having a good time?" I hear Harry announce to the crowd. They all scream in reply. "We would like to perform a brand new song for you now. This is called 'Perfect'." The music begins as Niall starts to sing.

Liam looks over at me when he begins his part, smiling at me through the first two lines. Before he turns back to the crowd, he sends me a wink. I blush before smiling back at him. Louis is jumping around the stage, acting like the crazy person he is. His shoes slide when he lands on a platform off to the other side of the stage, causing me to suck in my breath, waiting for something horrible to happen. It never does though, as he saves himself last minute. I release my breath with a sigh and find Harry. He is standing at the front of the stage, shaking hands with people in the crowd. As the boys finish the song, my nerves spike even higher, if that is even possible.
