Changing Everything

Chapter 1

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. I'll set the scene for you. It was a humid evening in March. It was the night of the One Direction Take Me Home tour and the atmosphere in the arena was buzzing. Everyone was chatting, making new friends and waiting in anticipation of what they knew would be a fabulous evening. Myself and my two best friends, Madison and Jenna, danced along to Grease as the audience filed in. How was I supposed to know what the night had in store for me?

Soon enough the opening act, 5 Seconds Of Summer, had come and gone and it was time for the concert to really begin! I could not believe my eyes, Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn were in the same room as me, they were breathing the same air! It was a special concert for Louis and Zayn as they were in their home county of Yorkshire and their families were in the audience. This added to the emotions in the room. The boys were doing their general goofing around on stage while everyone laughed and cheered. I spent the whole concert laughing, screaming, singing, dancing but most of all crying. It's fair to say I sobbed the whole way through Little Things! However, it was when the boys were on the stage in the middle of the audience that everything changed. Last First Kiss started and suddenly Liam pointed to the back corner of the audience where I was seated. Everything was silent except for Liam who continued with his solo. He was looking directly at me I was sure of it. Or was he? No, he certainly was! Liam Payne was looking directly in to my eyes and singing. His soft brown orbs caught my merky green ones and I was trapped. If I could have fallen head over heels, no doubt I would have but I was too transfixed on the beautiful man who looked at me like I was an oasis in a desert and sweltering heat. My heart felt like it would burst out of joy. He held eye contact with me and finally, when I could take it no more, I looked away breaking the precious moment we had shared. I peered around me to see if anyone had noticed. They had! But then again, who couldn't notice when Liam had pointed me out and sang to me? Every girl in the arena was staring at me. Some scowled at me (if looks could kill I would have died a thousand painful deaths!), some looked awed and some looked at me like they didn't even know what to think. I turned to Jenna first.

"Leila, what the hell was that?!" She squealed. Her voice had jumped two octaves above it's usual pitch.

"Yeah Leila, how are you not dying right now?" Madison jumped in, pulling my arm to look at her.

"Erm... Well... I... Err..." I had lost the power of speech. Well done Leila, I scolded myself, what a way to play it cool! "I'm not sure what that was guys, but to be honest, I'm not going to complain!" I laughed and so did Jenna and Madison.
