JADE

Today was the day where One Direction would be at the studio to watch us dance. I can't lie. I am nervous. More than nervous. I am having panic attacks.

"Jade. Relax babe. Breathe in and out." Janelle tried calming me. I was currently trying to breathe properly, but all that came out were ragged short breaths.

Jesy walked over to where I sat on a bench in our lockers and placed her hand on my knee. "Babe, you'll be fine. Don't worry, we've done this before. Breathe with me c'mon."

I followed Jesy's breathing and soon, I was feeling better. 

"Okay guys. They are here. Go out there and show them what you got." Encouraged Mandy who had just walked in. 

We all nodded and left the lockers. As we stepped into the dance floor we all looked up to the side and saw the guys and their tour manager.

The music sounded in our ears and we immediately began.

P-p-p-press rewind

P-p-p-press rewind

Ei-ei-einstein

I'm looking for that einstein

Wales, London, Ireland, Scotland

I get idoled in

South Africa and Brazil

Shut the club down

Bring the bill

B-b-bring

Bring the bill

B-b-b-b-bring the bill

Shut the club down bring the bill

I can't control the way I'm moving my hips

Soon the song finished and they all stood up to clap. The five of us just stood there unsure of what to do.

"That was great girls." Praised Paul who we've been told is One Direction's tour manager as well as security.

"Thank you." I said. The others were too winded to say anything.

"Um if it's okay with you guys. We would like to see another dance." Said Harry. We all just starred at each other then to Mandy.

"Of course. You girls wouldn't mind right." She said looking at us with a 'You better fucking do it' look.

"No." We all said. She put up do what you want by Lady Gaga but R kelly's part.

Here we go again.

Early morning

Longer nights

And so on. 

Once again they all stood up this time cheering and clapping. "I loved it. Boys do you think we have a final decision?" AskedZayn.

"Yes Zayn. We have. We would like it if you guys would join us for the Where We Are Tour and become our official back up dancers." Harry replied with a smile playing on his lips. 

We all cheered and hugged each other. The feeling was amazing. Adrenaline was pumping through my veins and I've never felt so proud of myself then I do now. No concert or competition won could compare to the feeling. 

"Well, I think it is only fair that we all go out to get to know each other. Paul is that okay?" Louis asked.

"Yes. Just be at the hotel by 10."

"Great. Let's go to Buffalo Wild Wings." Louis ran out the door and we just followed. "Wait damn. I forgot our stuff." I said abruptly stopping. They all turned to look at me and shrugged.

"We'll get it tomorrow. Don't worry." Reassured Jesy. I nodded and we kept walking out the doors. The boys led us all to a big van that had very dark tinted windows. It's those usual vans you'd find celebrities in a lot. 

We all got in and placed ourselves in random seats. I sat between Harry and Perrie in the very back while the others sat in the front of us, clearly.

"You're an amazing dancer, you know?" I heard someone whisper. I turned to find Harry smiling at me.

"Thanks."

"Table for ten por favor." Smiled Jesy at the lady at the front. We arrived at a local BWW nearby just now and it was packed. Of course, it was game night which would explain countless fans huddled near each other.

"Alright follow me." She led us to this large table in the center of the place.

The waitress gave us our menus and left. We had each ordered our drinks and various wings and fries to go along with it, while a couple people ordered burgers and such. 

"So Jade tell me about yourself." Said Harry taking a sip from his drink. He was seated directly in front of me. 

"Um well my name is Jade Thirlwall. I am 20 years old. I am a great dancer if I must admit. It's a great passion of mine as well music. Something about it just feels right. I absolutely love it."

Harry smiled.

"It's great to hear. I don't really find a lot of people as passionate about things as you. It's rare nowadays. People only really seem to be after fame and fortune.

I laughed and playfully rolled my eyes. "You're telling me."

The remainder of the time was spent asking each other questions. All of us learned quite a lot, even things that seemed out of the ordinary. Things you'd think would be better kept a secret. Such as Niall not sleeping unless he listens to a childhood lullaby and Leigh always wiping off toilet seats with disinfectant wipes before using them.

"Bye guys. It was nice hanging out with you." Yelled out Leigh anne. We've arrived home after the guys were generous enough to give us a ride despite our apartments only being two blocks down from the restaurant.

"You too. Bye." Waved Louis.

They drove off, but before they did, I caught Harry give me a wink and a small wave. Harry was a nice guy, I had fun. I wasn't sure if anything more were to occur and I honestly hope not. 

Not that I don't like him, but I only find time to focus on myself. Not so much in relationships if I'm being truly honest.


"Goodnight, girls." I mumbled as I walked up the steps to my apartment floor. We've all decided we'd live in the same apartments to save our selves a lot of trouble of having to go far whenever we needed one another. 

I walked into my flat and immediately made it to my bedroom. I stripped of my clothing and got new ones to wear after a nice long shower.

Once I finished, I walked back into my room. As I snuggled in my comforters of the bed I was thinking of what this tour might be bringing me. Maybe I will be wanted to dance for more celebrities.

Who knows?

But I just can't wait.
