*Lauren's POV*

I had somehow successfully managed to avoid everyone, with the exception of Harry, Lou, and Serena all last night and this morning. The realization of being walked in on just hit me, and I'm more than a little embareased. I wish I could say Harry was upset about it too, but he's already moved on. I guess I can't hold that against him though because they are his best friends. Today's the concert in Miami, so all the crew is getting ready for the concert but also getting ready to hit the road and drive to Kentucky afterwards. Serena and I have just got back to the venue after leaving to go get frozen yogurt.

"I'm so excited!" I yell and jump up and down walking behind Serena through the dim lit hallway of the venue.

"I'm usually the one excited while you are all calm and cool." Serena teases and I shove her lightly.

"Don't kill my vibe."

"I'm not killing it, I'm trying to feed off it." Serena tells me and we turn and walk down a busy hallway.

Crew members are running around all over and I can see the end of the hallway where the stage is. I can hear the echoing of thousands of people, screaming and 5 Seconds of Summer playing. The level of noise is only something you would understand if you have attended a One Direction concert.

We walk swiftly down the hallway just as they start playing a new song. The ground vibrates as we walk backstage, careful to stand out of view from the crowd and out of the crews way.

I feel nauseous looking at how many people are in the crowd, but I've always had stage fright. We listen to the rest of their act then right before the last song sneak back down and into the hallway back stage. There's no point in talking because we can't hear eachother, but we are both looking for the door with the sign One Direction on it. I let Serena lead us to the wardrobe room, she opens the door and walks right in; I however stand in the doorway and take in what is going on.

Liam is pacing around, holding a water bottle in his hand and flipping it in the air, tossing it and catching it over and over again. Zayn is sitting in the makeup chair while Lou does his hair, Harry is prancing around shirtless and Caroline is yelling at him to put a shirt on while also handing articles of clothing to Niall. Louis is sitting on the couch on his phone, and that's where Serena walks too.

"Shut the door would you?" Louis yells at me and I quickly shut it, the level of noise in the room minimizing dramatically although the rumbling of the crowd and music can still be heard.

Everyone turns to look at Serena and I, and I can't help but feel self conscious.

"Hi babe!" Harry yells from across the room and waves to me, a smile spread across his face.

I return a smile and start walking towards Lou, everyone goes back to what they were doing.

"Hiya! How was yogurt?" Lou doesn't look up at me when I approach but Zayn does.

"You didn't bring any back for me?" Zayn asks, pretending to be upset and I move to stand next to Lou.

"No you should have told me." I tell him and he shakes his head at me, earning a light swat on the shoulder from Lou.

"Still." She reprimands him and he widens his eyes.

"Is he causing trouble?" I ask them, watching as Harry starts picking up shoes off the ground and throwing them at Preston, one of the boys body guards.

"Who?" Zayn asks and tries to look without turning his head.

"Harry." Lou responds and looks over at him. "Not more than usual."
