The Valued Customer (A One Direction Fanfic)

My tall heels echoed around me as I made my way onto the vast black stage. The audience looked on with cheers and gasps at the sight ahead of them. Flashes came from the front of the stage.what would the paps want with me?!' i thought to myself as my eyes squinted. My hands and knees were trembling with nerves and anxiety. I cannot believe I agreed to this! Making my way to the stool set up for my first song, I glanced at the audience. Their cheers were motivational but I noticed so many dirty looks of jealousy. It made my stomach turn. Glow sticks waved frantically from the back, trying to get noticed. I took my place on the dainty, high, wooden stool. Placing my cute mic onto the stand in front I took a deep breath. I was singing 3 of my own songs followed by a cover version. I had written a song a while back after I broke up with my boyfriend of 18 months. 

"Hi" I spoke into the mic

Cheers filled the room causing me to smile.

"I'm going to sing a song I wrote a while back. It's called Wide Awake" I trembled "I hope you like it!"

(A/N Livs voice is like Katy Perry's. I know its like impossible but imagine Katy doesnt exist as one of the best singers ever!)

Taking a deep breath the music started and I looked to my left to see Niall, Izzy, Louis, Lou, Liam, Zayn and Harry who had Lux on his shoulders. Niall and Izzy gave me a reassuring smile and thumbs up. I nodded gratefully and faced the ground. 

I started singing with my eyes closed. Shaking with fear. (Listen to the song if you want :) might get a better picture of it)

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake

Yeah, I was in the dark

I was falling hard

With an open heart

I'm wide awake

How did I read the stars so wrong?

I'm wide awake

And now it's clear to me

That everything you see

Ain't always what it seems

I'm wide awake

Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish I knew then

What I know now

Wouldn't dive in

Wouldn't bow down

Gravity hurts

You made it so sweet

'Til I woke up on

On the concrete  

The Cheers burst through the arena and caused me to open by eyes. Looking up, the crowd swayed in time. I smiled the biggest smile and kept looking ahead.

[Chorus]

Falling from cloud nine

Crashing from the high

I'm letting go tonight

Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine

I'm wide awake
