More Than a Fan || cth

Chapter 4

Tonight's the last show. No more touring around the world, no more meeting fans..

It's Sydney. And I'm extremely excited. Last night, our 100th show was in Sydney too, but this just seems more special to me. All of us haven't talked much, which is surprising. We've just been thinking about everything. We freaking sold our Madison Square Garden. Like, what the hell? In Denver, I met Lacie and Alayna. Lai and I have been texting occasionally, but the boys and I have been buy recording and such.

I haven't forgotten. She's gonna be here tonight.
I mailed her tickets. I asked Jamie her address (don't ask how I got in contact with her) and I mailed her better tickets. For sound check, and for the first couple rows. I sent her two, if she wanted to bring someone. The other tickets she had already bought, I thought she could sell them to someone. They were good tickets too.

Lacie - 'hey. Thank you for the tickets. I really appreciate that. I hope you have a good day, and I'll see you later in soundcheck! :-)'

I smile at her text. Ashton's getting food and Luke and Mike are playing video games.

'Hey! You're welcome. Can't believe this show is ending. I'll see you later :))'

"Ahem, check check 1 2 3." Ashton is yelling into the microphone. We haven't let anyone in for sound check yet, but Ash has already started. I roll my eyes and walk onto the huge stage, Michael following me. I can hear Luke telling Arz something, before joining us. Someone hands me my bass, I can't even see them they're going so fast. I turn around the play around with my bass, walking up to the mic.

"Hi friends." Michael says into the mic, probably talking to the few people in the audience. I look up, smiling at a few girls, then spotting a familiar brunette. Lai sits in the direct middle, looking down at her phone. She looks up, and I smile at her, playing with some notes on my bass. She smiles up at me, obviously a genuine smile, and she waves. I'm guessing Michael notices because he comes over to me and yells in the mic.

"Lacie! What's up girl?"

All the other girls there turn to look at Lacie, and her face turns bright red. I shoot her an apologetic look before pushing Michael away.

"This is my mic, douche." I mumble, earning a laugh from the boys and the audience.

"Freaking roasted, mate!" Ashton says. I dab, then look up to see Lacie cracking up. That makes my heart full with warmth.

Michael pouts and walks away. Luke and Ashton are talking between each other, through the mics, and I'm guessing ash is too lazy to get up and go to him.  I run over to Luke, whispering in his ear.

"I have two suggestions."

He leans toward me, an all knowing smirk crossing his features.

"Invisible, I know, but what else?" He says and my eyes widen.

"Beside you." I say.

He looks at me, and a imaginary bright yellow light bulb appears above him.

"That's a great idea. For all the fans. To tell them goodbye."
I nod, smirking and walking away, letting Michael and Ash know.

"Beside you first?" Luke asks, and I nod, looking to the audience. Some girls are looking between each other, eyes wide. Some others are having an intense conversation, and some are staring intensely, smiling at us. Sort of creepy, but they're fangirls nonetheless. Lai is watching Michael dance around.  I laugh at Michael, and try to mimic him, causing me to trip and almost fall off the stage.I can hear Lai burst out laughing, and I smile.
