Life With Boys

Chapter 29

"Zayn shut up!" I hissed. We were crammed in a storage closet. What these boys do to hide from Paul.

"I'm sorry but there's something poking into my side." He whined.

"Be a man and suck it up." I said back. I heard footsteps and shushed Zayn.

"Zayn? Lil' Horan?" The voice was Louis'.

"In the closet." Zayn whisper called. I elbowed his stomach.

"Got ya." Paul sang when he opened the door.

"Louis! Seriously! Zayn!" I yelled. I climbed out of the closet and got to my feet. I lifted my hand to try and reach Paul's shoulder but I was an inch or two to short, "Paul, in my defense, the idiot with a big mouth told me to hide or else I don't get food." I said.

"Which idiot are you talking about?" Both Louis and Zayn asked. They shot looks at each other.

"I don't care. The boys have to get ready for the last show." Paul grabbed the shirt sleeves and walked down the hall dragging them. I skipped down the small halls looking for anybody to chat with. As I rounded a corner, Josh was laying on the floor.

"Hey Josh." I laughed. I sat next to his laying body.

"Hey Cambrie." He weakly smiled.

"Mind telling me why you're on the floor?" I questioned.

"Just not feelin' well." I scooted away a little. Don't wanna be sick.

"Sorry mate. Can I get ya anything?" I asked. I'm only offering since I've always had a tiny crush on Josh. He's just so adorable at times.

"No, thanks though." He smiled at me. I continued to sit in silence with Josh to keep him company. I think we're all missing home.

"Hey you two." My uncle came and sat with us, "You alright mate?" My uncle asked Josh.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. How's it going with Emily." Josh sounded like he was teasing my uncle.

"Who's Emily, Uncle Niall?" I asked innocently.

"A friend," my uncle shot Josh a look, "and she's going to visit us when we get back to London." I nodded. Great, now I'll have to deal with another girl who will probably try to kill me to ensure my uncle is all her's. Flippin' perfection.

----

"Good night Los Angeles!" My uncle yelled and the boys jumped through the floor. The last show was over, the screams were louder, the guys were more energetic, and the emotions were runnin' high. Excitement of the last show, excitement that we're going home, and sadness because this was a blast.

Me being me, I wanted to be the first one to hug my uncle. I went to his dressing room and waited until he busted through the door.

"Cambire!" He cheered. I jumped up and into his sweaty arms.

"You guys did amazing!" I cheered and laughed.

"Cambrie." Harry.

"Cambrie." Liam.

"Cambrie." Louis.

"Cambrie." and Zayn.

"Cambrie!" The other four did a quartet thing and yelled my name lastly. They took me in a group hug and let's just say they desperately need showers. I broke from them and looked at my uncle.

"This was an amazing experience. Thank you so much Uncle Niall." I hugged him again and a tear slipped. This is the most I've ever seen my uncle at one time. Being able to see him all the time was amazing. Although this had to happen because of a horrible accident.

"Anytime Cambrie." He kissed the top of my head, "Anytime." He whispered.

"Lets go boys! We have an early flight tomorrow and we still need the crew picture!" Paul's voice boomed around the building. I walked out of the dressing room and ran into Paul.

"Hey Higgins." I teased poking is his belly.

"Hey Lil' Horan. Do me a favor and go find a fan to take a picture of the whole crew." Paul said handing me a camera. I saluted him and dashed off to the stage. Big mistake, I should have waited a few more minutes.

"It's Cambrie Horan!" A voice squealed. I don't know how many, but lets say a ton of girls dashed to the stage. I dashed backstage to get a microphone and ran back out.

"Test one, two." I spoke into it and gave a thumbs up to the technician guy, "Okay everybody shut up and listen!" I yelled into the microphone. Everybody fell silent but I could tell that they were buzzin' on the inside, "Okay, I need everybody to leave in an orderly fashion. No pushing, shoving, arguing, nada. Calmly leave the theater and go home 'cause we're all butt tired. Have a safe and nice trip home. A g'night!" I dashed backstage and peered out to see them leaving. Perfect. I scanned the massive group and found somebody who seemed to be by herself.

I walked back out quietly and could see there were only a few people left I case I had to deal with a small group.

"Hey, you in the navy blue shirt!" I yelled. A girl turned around with a few others, "With the shorts and converse!" I continued. The lone girl started walking back, "I need everyone else to leave please!" I ordered. The lone girl finally came to the stage and I jumped off so I was on the ground as well.

"Uh, hi." The girl nervously spoke and smiled.

"Heyo I'm Cambrieo." I stuck my hand out and she took it.

"I know who you are." She giggled, "I'm Anna." I nodded.

"Nice to meet ya Anna, I have a favor to ask." I started.

"Anything." She beamed.

"I was wondering if you could take a picture of the crew once everyone is out here." I proposed.

"Of course." She smiled.

"Cool. Now I'll let ya past the barrier. You my friend get to experience the stage after it's been used by One Direction." I smiled. We ran to an end and I let her past the barrier. We walked back on stage and she looked around like she was in the land of Oz.

"This is amazing." She breathed.

"Cambrie!" I heard. We both turned around and Louis jogged out to us.

"Hey Lou." I smiled. We shared a hug and I turned to Anna.

"Anna, meet the ever so talented, funny, idiotic, stupid, and handsome Louis William Tomlinson." I introduced.

"Hi Louis." Anna giggled, "You're my favorite." She beamed.

"Thanks love. May I ask why you've stuck around?" Louis asked.

"She's going to be taking the tour picture for us." I said to him.

"Lovely!" He spoke.

After a little while everyone poured on to the stage. As we started arranging ourselves Josh and my uncle latched onto my arms. We sat on the edge of the stage to make room for everyone else. Anna was in the house of the theater getting herself arranged so everyone could fit in the picture.

"Okay one! Two! Three!" I saw a tiny flash go off and a couple more times after that, "Got it!" Anna yelled.

"It's official! The tour is now over!" Somebody yelled. We all cheered and made a massive group hug. Everyone cleared out and the guys and Josh, Sandy, Dan, and Jon stayed behind. Anna ran back and handed me the camera.

"It was amazing to meet all of you." She giggled nervously.

"Thank you for staying behind to help us out." Zayn said. We each gave her a hug and sent her on her way.

"Wait!" I called, "What's your twitter name?" I asked when I got to her.

"Anna underscore banana." She laughed. I made a mental note to do that when we get on the bus.

"Thanks." We went our separate ways and Harry threw his arm around my shoulder.

"I suggest we go before Paul comes looking for us." We all agreed and dashed to at our things and go to the bus.
