The Story of my Life

Chapter 22

Ali's P.O.V.

After an actually pretty relaxing supper, minus the grilling about Liam, the girls and I head back over to the venue for the concert. Me and Julie have floor tickets so being first ones in is definitely a plus, but we actually won't be able to see the boys before the show.

Liam and Niall are still at the press conference and will be up until 10 minutes before the show from what Zayn told us. The latter and Julie had actually spent the night together with her showing him the wonderful world of tumblr. Personally I think he's scarred for life.

Best part; Perrie is joined in on the fun and terrorized him even more by finding a bunch of zayn blogs that go into great details about his anatomy and how big it is based on how his jeans fit.

"They are such a great couple." Eleanor says creeping up behind me.

I look at the future bride and groom. "Yeah they really are. But you and Louis are pretty great together too. I saw the way he looks at you earlier." I pause to look into her eyes that look still really sad. "He looks like he would rather die than ever cause you harm. I don't know him, but I know that if the person I loved was always being harassed by people that supposedly 'love' me, I would trade everything in to see them smile and be happy."

She lets a tear slip from her eyes as she pulls me in for a tight hug. "I'm so sorry I caused you harm earlier I had you so wrong. Liam would be so lucky to be with someone as thoughtful as you."

"Yeah I don't think I'd call myself thoughtful. I have my moments of supreme bitchiness." I snort pulling back from the hug.

She shakes her head as she points back at Perrie and Julie still sitting with Zayn that looks sick to his stomach. "You just conforted someone that was a royal bitch and made you cry not even 12 hours earlier. Also, when you left Perrie mentioned something about sensing like there was something broken inside of you and Julie said that when you were still with your ex, he broke you."

I look back at her quickly. Then at Julie that had heard her name and tuned into the conversation. I can tell she feels really sorry for saying that, but really she's right. "Yeah he broke me and I tried to pick up the pieces while I was still with him because I thought we could be together forever. I was wrong. When I came to Europe I started picking up the pieces figuring out what I am and I eventually figured it out."

Everytime I say those words I instinctly place my hand right over my tattoo. Reminding myself that I'm strong and everything I've done has meant something.

Julie smiles and nods "You are so strong. The strongest person I know without a doubt." She gets up and gives me a big hug. "No one else could have gotten through what you have with such a bright smile on your face everyday when I know there are days where you've cried yourself to sleep." She looks at Eleanor smiling. "There are some days that I've called her because I was having panic attacks and even if it was at 3am, she's come and helped me through it. Even though, she never told me, I knew that she had been crying."

I feel the need to stop her before my friend divuldged more about me than I would have wanted. "You're strong too girl and I've come to you place freaking out more than once as well. You're just as strong as I am if not stronger."

"You guys are so amazing with each other." Perrie interjects whiping a tear from her eye. "And I really hope Niall and Liam are going to take good care of you guys and not hurt you girls." 

And Zayn, for the first time since this conversation started adds. "I hope you both the same happiness I feel when I'm with Perrie. And I'll add that they would be idiots for not wanting to be with you guys."

"You are so adorable babe." Perrie says giving him a quick peck on the lips.

"And so are you two lovebirds." Eleanor adds laughing.

"Come on Al! You can't say this isn't competely amazing!" Julie says as she walks around the empty stadium where the concert would start in just under an hour.

She takes out her phone to snap a picture of us to post on twitter. "You are something else girl." I say shaking my head.

Julie starts laughing pointing to the doors of the stadium."No they are" 

As if on cue there are hundreds of screaming fangirls running towards us trying to be as close as possible to the stage. Me and Julie quickly reclaim our spots at the gate up front next to the runway making sure to tuck our VIP passes under our shirts.

"This is going to be the best concert of our lives!" Julie yells exitedly
