Changing Everything

Chapter 4

Wow! I felt like my whole night had been filled by wow moments. However this really was something else. Myself and my two best friends were stood on a huge arena stage that One Direction had been stood on not half an hour ago. I had just sang up here and Jenna was holding Niall Horan's guitar. Madison stared about her in reverence, not quite knowing what to make of this situation. I started to laugh really loud.

"What's so funny?" Madison gawped at me.

"N.Nothing!" I managed to say. One Direction Crew and arena staff had started to mill about the seating and stage cleaning and packing up.

"Leila, behave yourself you nugget, people are looking." Jenna teased.

"Okay, okay," I said containing my laughter, "but surely you see that this is a really strange circumstance for girls like us to be in."

Paul then stepped in, I had forgotten he was here, "What do you mean girls like you?"

"We're just three regular girls from Yorkshire. This is something we couldn't even dream of happening but yet here we are." Madison observed while myself and Jenna nodded in agreement.

"Welcome to the world of One Direction!" Paul replied.

As if right on cue, a golf caddy came spinning in to the arena from a back entrance. A burly man swiftly followed on foot. The caddy zoomed up the left hand side isle and stopped short of the staging. My jaw hit the floor. When I peeked over at Madison and Jenna they wore the same expression. Out jumped Louis Tomlinson from behind the wheel and perched on the back was Harry Styles. My mind went blank as I stood and stared. They were even more beautiful in person and up close. "Oi, Oi Ladies. How's it going?" Louis chirped looking towards Madison and me as he scrambled up on to the stage. He was grinning from ear to ear. Until his eyes landed on Jenna that is. They nearly popped out of their sockets! He looked just as we had when the caddy had pulled up. Addressing Jenna he said "Are you here for meet and greet?"

Jenna blushed from head to toe. Sparks were flying. So much so I could have lit a damp splint through the crackling of the air!

"I don't believe so... We're here because of my friend Leila" She said pointing to me.

"Ah Tommo, that's the girl" Harry spoke up after negotiating his lanky limbs out of the caddy and up on to the stage to stand next to Louis. By this time the burly man had arrived at the foot of the stage, out of breath and with a bit of a dab on. From where I was stood I could just make out that it was Preston the security man. He stood observing the situation unfolding in front of him.

"What girl?" Louis asked, still dumb struck by Jenna. She blushed again.

"You know! The one from the concert and Last First Kiss?" That caught Louis attention and he turned to me.

"Oh so you're the girl that has everyone talking?"

"I guess so but I don't believe they were talking through Last First Kiss." I joked self consciously.

Harry laughed out loud. "No I don't believe they were." Then, turning to a grinning Paul he added "I like her!"

Now that made me feel dizzy. The one and only Harry Styles had just said he liked me. I knew it wasn't in THAT way but hell, I wasn't bothered what way he meant it in!

"So has Paul explained to you why you're here?" questioned Harry.

"No not at all. We only know it has something to do with Leila specifically." Madison answered.

"Ah I see, keeping it a surprise are we Paul?"

"You know me Harry, all about the suspense and besides Leila was just soaking up the atmosphere" he mimicked.

"Joke all you want Paul!" I laughed. "But yeah, it's pretty snazzy up here! Oh and these are my two best friends Madison and Jenna." I added. Louis still had not taken his eyes off Jenna since he first saw her. He'd been through a rough break up a few months back, however he seemed to be making a full recovery to me.

"Well, you know who we are so shall we move on and get to why you're really here?" Harry suggested.

"Sure!" I enthusiastically replied but he wasn't looking at me. He was too busy smiling at Madison. Well, well, well, I thought, there must be something unusual in the water here that's making these boys go all gooey! Harry turned, guiding Madison by the arm towards the back of the stage. Louis followed with Jenna and by now they were in a full swing of conversation. Just as I turned to look at Paul who gave me a knowing smile, I saw Louis look down at his black vans, black skinnies that showed his ankles, blue shirt that covered his collar bones (Jenna would be happy - she has a phobia of them!) and black jacket with red checkered lining and ask Jenna "Do you like my 'I'm gonna rob your nan look'?" She cracked out laughing and so did I. They both looked back at me as I followed them in to a white wash corridor, both looking insanely happy. Further ahead I saw Madison chatting to Harry. He was looking deeply in to her face and listening intently to the soft words she spoke. Yes there was definitely something in the water!
