(Chapter 16)

(Clarissa’s POV)

The next day, we were at the venue early in the morning, getting ready for the concert that night. My set included seven songs and a duet with 5 Seconds of Summer. The band luckily knew my choices and were able to perfect them before the concert that was beginning in a few hours. At the moment, I was shaking with nervousness.

“Clarissa, let’s get you ready!” Lou thrusted an outfit into my arms and pushed me into the bathroom. “And don’t look in the mirror! You’ll get the full effect later.” The outfit included a floral peplum top and light denim skinny jeans. I put it on quickly and noted how snug it felt on my body. I was then sat down in chair that you’d expect at a hair salon. She examined my face and smirked before getting to work. Soon after my eyes shut and I was gone.

“Clarissa wake up.” My eyes fluttered open and Lou stood in front of me.

“Are we done?” I murmured.

“No, we gotta fix your mascara and then put lip gloss on.” She rolled her eyes slightly.

“Sorry.” I said slightly embarrassed. She smiled and did what she needed to.

“Okay, you can turn around.” I spun the chair and as my eyes hit the mirror they widened and I screamed at the top of my lungs. Not even ten seconds later all nine boys ran in and stared.

“Why’d you scream?” Liam asked wide-eyed.

“My hair! It’s straight!” A lot of their jaws dropped at my statement.

“Can you deal with it for one night? You’ll never have to have your hair like this ever again.” Harry asked.

“Do you promise?”

“Yes I promise.” I nod and take a deep breath.

“I think it looks pretty.” Louis murmurs and immediately my cheeks turn rosy. Zayn notices and smirks. I’m about to open my mouth to speak again, but a man in a headset walks in.

“Clarissa, five minutes.” Any words in my throat died at those words.

“Group hug?” Niall said hopefully. I nod and suddenly I’m crowded with arms wrapping around me.

“You’ll do great.” An unknown voice whispers in my ear.  After the hug disassembles I’m brought to the stage and handed a microphone. As I stand in the wings I can hear my small intro video being played, my voice from past videos ringing out over the crowd, the happiness shinning through.

As the countdown ends I’m pushed on stage and I feel myself stumbling a few feet and collapsing on my knees, laughs starting immediately. I raise the microphone to mouth as I stand up embarrassed. “I meant to do that.”I hurry up to the starting x I went to in rehearsals and place the microphone into the stand.

“Hello, I’m Clarissa Styles. I hope tonight you all have the best nights of your lives. Hit it boys!” The music for my opening song began and I opened my mouth. “This is Second Chance by Shinedown.

My eyes are open wide

And by the way, I made it

Through the day

I watched the world outside

By the way, I'm leaving out

Today

I just saw Hayley's comet

She waved

Said, "Why you always running in place?"
