Just my luck

7 - Her

DANIEL'S POV
---------------------------------------
Its the last day of the tour. I'm so tired. My girlfriend broke up with me yesterday because Jacob S told her that I was cheating on her. So I'm still really upset about our breakup. It's lunchtime and I have to make sure Cameron and Shawn will be here on time. I also have to check if the DJ and band is ok and I have to say what specific lighting I want. Every concert is different.

It's been a great Tour but yesterday just ruined it.  Shawn and I have been mates since we were like 10 or something. Cameron joined our group a year later. Since then we have been mucking around. They couldn't come with me on tour so I invited them to this one. Our home town. I'm comfortable performing here. It's my home.

After I make sure the music will be all sweet and I tell the guy about the lighting, I get a txt from Shawn and Cam on our group chat.
'Just arrived' and 'I'm here.'
After 5 minuets the 2 of them walked on stage and down the isle to where I am. I'm sitting on the edge of the stage, my legs dangling where the VIPs will be roaming in a few hours. They both sit next to me.
"How you going Dan?" Shawn asks messing up my hair. I look at them with the look of 'you know how I'm feeling' .
"Dude you'll get over it, trust me anytime soon you'll find a better girl." Cameron chuckles. I have pretty good friends. Always there when I need them. It's 5:00.

"Wanna go get some burgers?" Shawn asks. We all stand up.
"Best to put out hoodies on" I say. They both agree. I fling my hood over my head and hide my face. The others do the same. We walk down the street to Burger King. As we walk in the door. 3 girls pass us the last girl just blew my mind. She looks amazing. She looks at me and the 2 boys in front of me. Then she runs off after her friends. We walk to the counter, I walk stunned of the girl I just saw.

I get a supreme burger. I take a photo and post it on snapchat saying 'who's ready for tonight's concert?' I was bored. We take it back to the stage and eat it there. My manager comes on stage, "we are opening up the gates, you have to get backstage." We all walk behind the curtain and watch the people come in. In 10 minuets the whole place was full and more people were coming inside. Someone looks at us and we all quickly hide behind the curtain but Cameron trips over a speaker and lands in a random opened umbrella. Shawn and I crack up laughing.

"It's not funny!" Cameron laughs 'trying' to be serious.
"Yeh it is!" I say still laughing. I help Cameron up and I get told I have to get under stage.
"Laters" I say to them waving. They wave back. I walk down stairs and I have to crawl to get under stage. People are waiting for there. They tell me to stand there. It's a platform. I crouch down on it and they hand me a microphone. As it lifts me up, I stand up. Everyone screams and bright light shines in my eyes.

After a while I invite Cameron on stage. He runs on being his normal self. We ran down to the VIPs and high five a few screaming girls waving their hands at us and when I turn around I see her, I try not to get distracted. We run back down to centre stage and as Cameron finishes his song I run off stage. I yell over the music to Shawn "C'MON!" I run back on and Shawn follows me. I let his sing 2 of his songs. He chose what they were. When he finned it. We ended up with the VIPs again. My eyes keep on catching her. She doesn't notice. I go to high five her.

I'm so close, just 2 inches from her hand. I see a blonde girl behind her put a hand on her shoulder and push her to the ground. I feel so bad for her so I stop the show. "Guards can you please help this girl she's fallen over." She stands up.
I try to sound like a gentleman, she looks like she deserves it. "Are you alright miss?" Miss! Miss! That's the best I can come up with? I've blown it. I hold out a hand to high five her because she missed out. She high fives me but I see cut marks on her wrist. I frown and look at them. Why would anyone so perfect do such a thing to herself. She has a worried look on her face.

I high five the rest of the girls. We decide to do a cover of Justin's new song 'Sorry'. We never liked Justin. But everyone seems to like our cover. We all turn our mic's off.
"Did you see that girl with the dark brown straight hair!?" Shawn whisper yells.
"What about that girl with the light brown hair in a braid?" Cam exclaimed.
"The girl with the short brown hair!?" I say.
"They looked like they were all friends," Shawn mentions. "Should we choose them as our guest?"
"I agree!" I say. Cameron nods. I turn my mic on again.

"Alright everyone, we have chosen our special guests." I yell into the microphone getting everybody's attention. I point to the girls And tell them to hang around after the concert. We all say goodnight and run off stage. In 15 minutes, the place is almost empty. I go and take my hoodie off and I say thank you to the lighting guys and band they were going home. I can't believe that was out last concert.

I tell my 'body guards' to go get the girls. We go to the bathroom and talk about how it went and stuff. After another 15 minuets we walk into the lounge. They're are all standing up. One girl crying and the other two sobbing. We stand there quietly, it was an awkward moment. We hear a cough and look up. The girl Cameron likes is standing there trying to get the girls attention. Inside I giggle a lot because she won't stop starring at Cameron. The other two girls stand up.

They look at us. She must think we look sad because the girl who I think I like says, "what's wrong?"
We all look at the other girl who was crying, as if to say 'I don't know is everything ok?' She explains what happened and the sad news. We stay quiet. I can't stop thinking about her though. I'm dying to know her name! I bet it's a really nice name.  She asks for a phot with us. The other girl isn't crying anymore. Surely enough, Shawn walks over to the girl who was crying. And cam to the other girl, leaving me with her. She slowly walks over.

I look at her bracelet, it reminds me of her cuts. I decide to be brave and ask her. I have know idea what is going though her head right now. "Why do you cut?" I ask. I don't really want this conversation but it has to be done, cutting is really bad. She plays stupid with me.
"You noticed."
For some reason that made me angry so I raise my voice.
"Of course I noticed! They are as deep as hell! I use an expression I'm hoping she won't get mad at me for.
I slow down, I don't want to upset her.
"Promise me you won't cut." I sound like her carer or something.
"I just met you." She mumbles, I can only just hear her. I need her to promise me,
"Please?" I say hoping so bad that she will. She nods and I let out a deep breath. I realise I'm holding her wrist. I don't even remember picking it up. I let go of her.

"Hi, I'm Amber." That's a beautiful name. It suits her so well.
We get into the conversation of Imbarasing things that have happened to us. Then I notice a massive bruise on her thigh.
"What's that?" I say laughing. She explains how she fell down the stairs. That night I learnt so much about her. By the end of it we were really good friends.
"About what Skyla said earlier, about how much we like you guys and stuff..." She giggles from our last joke. I have no idea what she is talking about. Maybe I zoned out, I did have a moment were I just stared at her, dreaming.
"That's alright." I say pretending to know.
She smiles but then her smile drops. I see her lips say crap but I hear nothing.
"What?" She explains how she told her mum about how she was meant to be home an hour ago. I feel really bad for keeping her up so I offer to pay for their taxi. I've noticed her voice has cracked really bad, probably from screaming all night. She refuses to take my money for the taxi so I insist she take my limo. I won't take no for an answer.

She gives in and goes tell Skyla and Taya. They say bye and thank you and how amazing our show was. They walk out the room.
"SCORE!" Shawn yells.
"What?" I ask looking at him.
"I asked her out..." He says calming down. I run and put him in a head lock and give him a knuckle sandwich.
"Did she say yes?" I say excitedly for him. He nods with the biggest grin.
"So did I!" Cam buts in. "She said yes!" It was then I realised, I should have definitely asked her out. It did cross my mind. But then I realise I'll probably scare her off or something and anyway, she deserves better. I tell the boys that.
"Dude don't bet too hard on yourself!" Cam giggles. I pull a funny face. He just stares at me.
