~natalie's pov.~

   today is the boys first concert and emily and i are going to it. we've been hanging out a lot since lilly left and the boys are so busy.

"dude it's gonna be so lit!" emily says getting hyped.

it's currently 3pm and emily and i are getting ready. i'm doing her hair while we joke around and laugh.

"dude i could so date one of the boys." emily says.

"um no! you are way to young. they're all like 18 and you're 13!" i joke being overprotective.

"what come on! you're dating zach!" she whines.

"he's 16 and i'm 16 so it's acceptable!" i tell her.

"ugh fine." she says rolling her eyes. "i'll fine other cute guys." she says flipping her hair.

"now you better not date until you're 30!" i joke.

"you were the one who just said you're 16!" she complained.

   once we finished our hair and make up we threw on our outfits.

   i put this on:

we jump in the wrangler and headed off to the venue.

"i'm so excited!" emily yells as she throws her hands up in the air.

"you're a goof." i laugh.

"and you're not?"

"of course i am!"

"well lets go!"

once we reached the venue we went in the back door. i heard the boys doing sound check and i started to laugh at some of the things they say in the mic.

"missed me?" i said running on stage.

"oh my gosh! natalie!" zach says running up and kissing me.

"oh so you brought the little monkey, huh?" jack says wrapping an arm around emily's neck.

"hey!" she said acting mad.

"hello!" he says laughing.

"so emily, since your sister and her boyfriend are all over each other wanna go do something fun?" corbyn asks.

"let's go!" she says as jonah leads her off the stage.

"it's so nice to see you." zach says wrapping his arms around my waist.

"ah i'm happy i'm here but man i'm gonna miss you on tour." i say kissing him.

"i'm gonna miss you too." he says placing his forehead on mine.

"this is gonna be a hard month."

"yeah." i say with tears in my eyes.

"don't worry." he said wiping a tear off my cheek. "we'll facetime every night." he says kissing me.

"yuck!!" emily yells walking back on stage.

"they couldn't keep you occupied?" i ask turning around.

"nope." she smiled.

i rolled my eyes as we all laughed.

once the meet and greet started i went back stage with emily and everyone else.

"oh it's zach's girlfriend!" a tall man says.

"um yeah i'm natalie." i say.

"i'm august." he says happily.

"oh hi!"

"i'm eben." another man says.

"hello." i say.

we talk a little about each other and i find out august is the boys photographer and eben is the music producer.

once the concert starts emily and i make our way to the floor to watch the boys. they did amazing.

right after the song made for corbyn announced, "now can we have a special guest come on stage."

"natalie, come up here!" jack says waving me up there.

my face turned red as they stared at me. i hesitantly walked forward to the stairs leading to the stage.

i sat down on a stool as i looked at the crowd staring at me.

"this song i wrote for my beautiful girlfriend right here." zach said smiling at me as the crowd awed.

zach sang the song he wrote for me. even though it was the second time hearing it my heart melted. he was so sweet and i was honestly the luckiest girl in the world.

at the end of the song he placed the guitar down and walked over to me. he grabbed my hand and did something i didn't expect him to do.

he got down on one knee as i gasped along with with whole crowed.

"natalie, i know we are only 16 but i want to say i love you." he started staring into my eyes. "i promise i will love you forever and with tour starting i need you to know that. we won't be able to see each other very much while i'm gone so i want to give you this ring to show the love i have for you."

the whole crowed cheered as zach said, "will you expect this promise ring?"

"of course zach! oh my gosh! i love you so much." i said wrapping my arms around his neck kissing him.

zach and i walked off stage saying our goodbyes. i said goodbye to the other boys as emily and i headed home. i didn't want to stay and hangout with them because i didn't want to take their attention away from the fans.

the rest of the night was fun. emily and i went into my room with cozmo. we talked for awhile until we both fell asleep.
