Crystal Eyes || m.h [COMPLETED]

TWENTY-SIX

"I'm nervous."

"Matty," I laughed, holding his hands. "You're going to do incredible, just like you did for the rest of tour."

Matty nodded, "Will you come on stage?"

"W- what?" I stuttered.

"Come on stage, I can introduce you as my girlfriend," Matty smiled. "Come on, everyone basically knows."

I bit my lip, not knowing if I should.

"Just fucking do it," George laughed. "Come on, if Matty does it, you can do it too."

"Hey! What does that mean?" Matty glared.

"That means it's not as difficult as it seems," George shrugged.

"Matty I-"

"Please!" Matty begged. "Come on! If you do come on stage then we won't have to worry again for a while, and the fans can get a good impression of you. Please Sarilynn!"

I looked up at Matty and saw how hopeful he was. "Fine," I sighed. "But you have to give me a cue and make sure I'm not tormented with tomatoes."

"That doesn't happen," Matty smiled.

"You don't know that!" I covered my face up with my hands. "Why am I agreeing to this..."

"Because you love me," Matty smiled. "You love me and I love you and life is perfect."

"I want to vomit," Adam laughed.

"Fuck off!" Matty shouted. "I'll give you a cue, right after 'Fallingforyou,' okay?"

"Really?" I smiled.

"Yes," Matty chuckled.

I watched as the boys got the final touches ready, meaning Matty smiling at me randomly as they checked the mics.

As the boys stood on stage preforming like this was the best show ever, which they always do, I couldn't stop smiling. Matty jumped around as usual, and interacted with the crowd a lot. Before I knew it the familiar notes were being played.

My heart was racing the whole song, and I realized how much of a whimp I actually am. Matty would glance over at me, and the rest of the band would too. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Alisa.

"Are you nervous?" Alisa smiled. "Adam told me Matty invited you on stage."

"No shit I'm fucking nervous... I'm shitting bricks I can't do this," I shook my head. "God why did I agree to going on stage."

Then the song ended and my face turned white, the crowd began cheering loudly and I felt like I was going to honestly pass out.

I turned to see Matty rushing over to me. "Come on!" Matty smiled.

"No," I protested. "M- Matty I can't."

"Yes you can," Matty assured, standing in front of me. "It's easier when you're out there. They'll love you, baby."

I bit my lip and Matty grabbed my hand, leading me out on stage. The crowd looked at each other confused.

"Hello!" Matty waved at the crowd. "I'm still here!"

The crowd looked at me, their phones' flashlights shining right on me. I felt the room spinning as Matty ran his thumb over my knuckles.

"First of all," Matty stated. "This is Sarilynn. Sarilynn joined us on tour and we've had a lot of fun with her. Sarilynn is extremely close to her family and this tour has been really hard for her, yet she's stayed here to support the guys and I."

There were confused stares, but the fans in the front began to smile, and I realized that more fans were probably smiling then what I was able to see.

"Sarilynn has made friends with the boys and even made a best friend on this tour. She's learned many things like how awesome we are, and yeah... I don't know what to say next," Matty chuckled and the crowd began chanting.

"Tell us, tell us!" They chanted.

"Fine! Jesus," Matty laughed. "She's my girlfriend."

The crowd then began screaming louder than they had been the entire night. I didn't think I could hear that many people scream that loud. Matty turned to me laughing, and I covered my face, overwhelmed.

"Anyway!" Matty shouted, quieting down the crowd. "I wanted to bring her on to just confirm, yes, she's my girlfriend. Two, I wanted to say that 'Fallingforyou' is actually about the lovely Sarilynn."

The crowd screamed, and Matty wrapped his arm around my waist.

"I love Sarilynn very much and she didn't want to come out here because of the fact that you guys are fucking insane. But know that I love her, and that she means a lot to me," Matty smiled at me.

I felt my cheeks warming if they weren't already on fire.

"Please don't hate her," Matty laughed. "Yeah, thank you, Sarilynn."

Matty kissed my cheek before letting go of my waist. The crowd screamed as I ran behind the stage quickly.

I rushed passed Alisa who was smiling ear to ear. I ran into the dressing room and locked the door behind me.

I turned around and felt tears in my eyes as I felt my heart racing. I felt the waves of a panic attack as I paced back and forth.

"Sari!" Alisa banged at the door. "Open the door, Sari!"

"There were so many people," I mumbled. "They're going to find me and hate me... they're going to think that I'm being selfish for going on stage."

"Sari!"

I laid down on the couch, tears rolling down my cheeks as I thought of all the awful things that are going to happen now.

- Matty's POV -

I walked off stage, a smile of my face. I expected to see Sarilynn waiting to hug me as usual, but no one was there. I turned and saw the guys were also looking around.

"Sarilynn," I muttered, beginning to run down the halls.

I found the dressing room and saw Alisa sitting with her back towards it. "Alisa! Where's Sarilynn?" I shouted.

"She's in there," Alisa sniffled. "After she went on stage she ran in there and locked the door. I heard her crying and freaking out... she won't listen to me."

I felt a pain in my chest as Alisa moved away from the door.

I placed my hands on the door, and I heard sniffling from the inside. "Sarilynn?" I asked. "Are you in there, baby?"

"Hmm."

"I'm sorry... I didn't think it would worry you this much. I-"

The door cracked open, revealing a tear-stained cheeked Sarilynn. She noticed that the boys and Alisa weren't around, and she grabbed my hand, pulling me into the room.
