Melanie's P.O.V.
"Melanie, the lads are going to be here soon. They don't know that you landed already. They think you'll be getting here sometime during the summertime ball." Sophia says, running up to me.
"Okay, where should I hide?" I ask.
"Go to Little Mix's dressing room. They'd never look there."
"Alright."
I make my way down the halls, turning left and then right before I see Little Mix's dressing room. I knock on the door and wait till I hear a "come in" then turn the handle, pushing the door open.
"Melanie!!" The girls exclaim, dashing over to me giving me a big group hug, before getting individual ones and a kiss on the cheek.
"Hi girls! Are you excited to perform?" I ask, taking a seat on the couch, next to Perrie.
"Yes! We're beyond excited!" Perrie replies from her place next to me.
All the girls go off and do their own thing and I plug in my earbuds into my phone. I choose a playlist on my Apple Music that I haven't seen before. Someone with the name Michael Jackson, not sure who he is but I've heard the lads talking about him. I never paid attention though. There's songs like 'ABC', 'I Want You Back', 'Rockin Robin', 'Man In The Mirror', 'Black or White', 'Bad', 'Human Nature', 'They Don't Care About Us', 'The Way You Make Me Feel', 'Smooth Criminal', 'Beat It', 'Thriller', 'Billie Jean', and 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You'. I press shuffle and 'Man In The Mirror' comes up.
"Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .
As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know
I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change"
In no time at all, I know all the words and I'm singing along. I walk around backstage, singing to 'The Way You Make Me Feel'.
"Hee-Hee!
Ooh!
Go On Girl!
Aaow!
Hey Pretty Baby With The
High Heels On
You Give Me Fever
Like I've Never, Ever Known
You're Just A Product Of
Loveliness
I Like The Groove Of
Your Walk,
Your Talk, Your Dress
I Feel Your Fever
From Miles Around
I'll Pick You Up In My Car
And We'll Paint The Town
Just Kiss Me Baby
And Tell Me Twice
That You're The One For Me
The Way You Make Me Feel
(The Way You Make Me Feel)
You Really Turn Me On
(You Really Turn Me On)
You Knock Me Off Of My Feet
(You Knock Me Off Of
My Feet)
My Lonely Days Are Gone
(My Lonely Days Are Gone)
I Like The Feelin' You're
Givin' Me
Just Hold Me Baby And I'm
In Ecstasy
Oh I'll Be Workin' From Nine
To Five
To Buy You Things To Keep
You By My Side
I Never Felt So In Love Before
Just Promise Baby, You'll
Love Me Forevermore
I Swear I'm Keepin' You
Satisfied
'Cause You're The One For Me
The Way You Make Me Feel
(The Way You Make Me Feel)
You Really Turn Me On
(You Really Turn Me On)
You Knock Me Off Of My Feet
Now Baby-Hee!
(You Knock Me Off Of
My Feet)
My Lonely Days Are Gone-
A-Acha-Acha
(My Lonely Days Are Gone)
Acha-Ooh!
Go On Girl!
Go On! Hee! Hee! Aaow!
Go On Girl!
I Never Felt So In Love Before
Promise Baby, You'll Love Me
Forevermore
I Swear I'm Keepin' You
Satisfied
'Cause You're The One For
Me . . ."
"Baby girl?" Louis' Doncaster accent rings through my earbuds making me gasp, jumping to see everyone who's backstage looking at me including the lads and the girls.
"Uh, hi everyone..." I say, quietly, with a small wave.
"How do you know all the lyrics, melodies and pitch and rhythm and all that stuff so fast and make it sound so flawless?" Niall asks, stunned.
"I don't know to be honest, just heard it a few times a few weeks back when I was in America."
"Would you like to perform two songs or three?" A stage manager asks out of nowhere.
"Uh, I don't know. How many people are here?"
"Probably over 50 thousand people."
"Th-"
"You've been in front of that many people at our shows, princess." Niall interrupts.
"Okay," I reply.
"Let's get Melanie to wardrobe then."
I'm pushed to wardrobe where I get changed into a Tibi Silk layered drape cami, Hilda leather look leggings, Saint Laurent Three-Strap leather ankle boots. After that, I'm handed Alexa Starr metallic cluster earrings, and skagen sea glass stainless steel stud earrings. Molly starts prepping all her hair products and tools while Kelly starts in my makeup. On the makeup and hair vanity there's NARS makeup products. So NARS radiant creamy concealer in the color vanilla, sheer glow foundation in punjab, blush in the color orgasm - I know, weird. A dual intensity eyeshadow pallet lysithea shark gray, eyeliner stylo, larger than life volumising mascara, lipstick Nouvelle Vogue in the color dark red. The fragrance for today is from Aeropostale LLD Always roll on and my nails are white matte. Molly does my hair in simple waves.
"Thanks guys!! I love it as always." I smile giving them both a hug.
"You're welcome, Sugar."
"Anytime, Bubbles."
"I love you guys."
~After performance~
"Melanie! You were brilliant!"
"You rocked!"
"Phenomenal!"
"Amazing!"
"Beautiful job!"
Everyone comments at once, giving me a hug. I smile widely and thank them all. The lads are going on stage soon so they're already hooked up to their inears and stuff.
[AN: Hey, so as you could probably tell, this is just a filler chapter bc I couldn't think of anything else to add for this chapter. I mean it was going to be the chapter with the OTRA European leg but I didn't feel like writing more at the time. So I cut it off and the next chapter will be the European leg of OTRA.
I made a character Q&A in the previous chapter, but you all already know that so idk why I'm telling you.
Anyways, I'll try writing for chapter 17 ~ European Tour and hopefully I'll write for an hour straight instead of stopping after three minutes.
I love you all!
