Music Saves Lives

Chapter Fifty-Two

Today is the day. Lovebird’s Cage plays at 3pm after Foster the People’s set. As soon as they are done, we can start warming up and stuff in the trailer behind the stage. There’s a thirty-five minute break between.

As of now, we are on our bus taking us to the park. I forgot how big the place was but I guess that’s a good thing so the artists that play at the same time don’t drown each other out. When we got to the park we got an assigned spot for our bus in a hug area for the artists. It was kind of like each tour bus had its own little barbeque going on, kind of like tailgating at a football game. I haven’t seen Niall since he got to America last night, but he said everyone is on their way and by everyone I mean A LOT of people.

First of all, Mira, Heather, and Zack are with us already, along with Mark’s new girlfriend, Abby. Then we have some of Tanner’s friends and Mark’s friends. Ryan has some cousins that are our age here. Also we have our crew. Lastly, I have Niall coming with Harry, Louis, Liam, and Zayn. Also Sean and Darragh are coming. Perrie brought her band mates from Little Mix and El came along too.  I was hoping having all these people here, I won’t be so nervous, but then again, it could make it worse.

The first people to arrive from my guests were El and Little Mix. They said the boys were lagging, so they just left the hotel. El gave me a huge hug and Perrie did the same before introducing me to Leigh-Ann, Jesy, and Jade.

A little later I finally got a call from Niall saying they were having trouble finding our bus.

“Niall, you’re joking. They gave you a map didn’t they? Where are you now? I’ll just find you.” I sighed.

“I’m sorry, babe this place is huge and it’s only the bus parking. We’re by the entrance again, we got turned around.”

I rolled my eyes. “Okay.” I turned to Tanner and told him to come with me. “We have to go get the boys.” He nodded. “Niall, stay put or I swear I’ll cut your balls off.”

He chuckled. “Okay okay!”

I hung up and made my way to the bus entrance. As we neared I saw the group of them, looking like fanboys. I looked over to where they were looking and saw Rihanna’s bus alongside Wiz Khalifa’s. We made it to them and I pulled on Niall’s shirt, bringing his attention to me.

“Stop drooling.” He looked shocked but his eyes soften when he saw me.

“You found us.” He hugged me.

“Yes I did. Now let’s go. Louis and Zayn your girlfriends are waiting on you two.” I shot them a look.

Tanner and I led the way to the bus.

“(y/n)!” someone yelled and I looked over to the direction of the voice.

“Pierre!” I yelled making my way over.

Tanner took everyone to our bus, but Niall followed me.

“I didn’t know you guys were playing!” he said, pulling me into a hug.

“I didn’t know you were gonna be here either.” I smiled and hugged the rest of the band.

“When’s your set?” Chuck, the drummer asked.

“Three.” I said.

“Maybe we’ll stop by. Are you busy at 5? That’s ours. We could really use you for Jet Lag.” Pierre put his hands together like he was praying.

“Uhm yeah! Sure I’d love that.” I grinned. I felt Niall’s hand reach for mine from behind. “Oh shit, sorry.” I pulled Niall in front of me. “This is my boyfriend, Niall.”
