Music Saves Lives

Chapter Forty-Four

(Niall’s POV)

We were pulling up to the venue and I was in awe by how many people were there. Whenever (y/n) talked about her shows she always compared them to ours and frankly she didn’t give herself any justice. Her band has a line around the whole building waiting to get inside. I texted her before we left saying we would be early and she said to tell the security in front our names and we will be let in.

We all got out of the SUV and walked up to security and they let us in right away. We walked into the venue and it was just one huge floor and a stage.  The only seats were up in the balcony. It seemed like a really old place. No one else was let in yet, so we walked over to the stage and I say Ryan sitting at his drum set, fiddling with it. We said hi and he had to go change his shirt. (y/n) came out and jumped down off the stage and stood on the other side of the barricade.

“You put more make-up on?” Harry notice.

She nodded. “Yeah, I have it dark for every show.”

“This place is cool.” Louis said, while looking around.

“Yeah, it’s actually the nicest place we’ve played. One place we played is now shut down because it was falling apart. Some of the ceiling came down during a concert.”

“Shit that’s nuts.” Andy laughed.

“You look good, babe.” I said, reaching over for her to come closer.

She came up to me and I pulled her to the barricade, wrapping my arms around her. “Thanks cutie.”

“I can’t wait to get you home.” I winked.

“Oh gosh.” Harry slapped his hand to his face.

(y/n) and I laughed, and I pecked her lips. She let go of me and went to hug Harry and he leaned on the barricade, with his hands on his face.

“Sorry, sweetheart.” She smiled.

“You always call me that.” He laughed.

“She calls everyone but me that. She picked it up from her step-mum.” I told him and he nodded.

“Why don’t you call Niall that?” Liam asked and (y/n) shrugged.

“Not sure. I just never have. I call him ‘babe’ or ‘lovebug’.” Harry snickered and I smacked him. “I’ll call him ‘baby’ sometimes.”

“And ‘cutie’!” Louis added and (y/n) laughed.

“Would you rather me call him something else. I could call him some weird shit like ‘lover’ or ‘big boy’ or to make you guys uncomfortable I can call him ‘sexy’.” She was thinking of more.

“Okay, stick with what you do call him.” Harry shook his head.

“That’s what I thought.” She grinned.

“(y/n)!” Mark yelled. “Get your ass back here because they are letting people in!” he waved her backstage.

She nodded and started down the line kissing each of the boys on the cheek and she grabbed my face and left me with a long kiss. She climbed back up on stage as I watched her bum in those shorts. She waved and disappeared.

“I saw you staring at her bum” Harry laughed from beside me.

Zayn came up on the other side of me. “Should we really be standing in the front?”

“Probably not, but we’ll stay here for a bit.”

It didn’t take long until we realized that was a horrid idea. We all huddled up towards the side more, since people were getting pretty nuts. Crowd surfing, jumping and pushing was not all that intriguing at the moment.
