Spring Breakers! (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 63 The Show Must Go On

*Third Person's P.O.V.*

"It seems as though Niall Horan, from teen heart throb boy band One Direction, and Christi Johnson are back together. The two were seen at the airport yesterday as Niall was going back to London to finish recording his new album for the band while Christi is continuing her tour here in the US. Will this last or will it just be a fling for Christi to get over her heartbreak with the Catching Fire star, Josh Huterson? Stay tuned for an exclusive interview with Ms. Johnson herself."

The celebrity news channel cut to a commercial.

Christi had the interview yesterday after she dropped Niall and the boys off at the airport.

"We're back with the exclusive interview with Christi Johnson as we go into her life as a fresh face in the public eye."

What is it like with everybody chanting your name?

It's definitely very weird, especially with a girl who comes from a small town in a state no body really cares for. But it also gives me that sense of encouragement that keeps me going throughout my shows.

So, are you dating Niall Horan from One Direction?

Yes, we are dating.

Is this real or is he just someone to get your mind off of Josh?

I don't think so. I love Josh and he knows that.

They changed her actual answer to something else she said throughout the interview.

Christi's P.O.V.

What the hell? I did not say that! I said it was definitely not a fling but I love Josh like a brother and he knows that!

"Well, there you have it folks! The truth is prevailed!" the lady signed off.

'Niall, it's not what you think! I swear I didn't say that!' I texted him.

'I know Christi, it's ok. I believe you over the stupid tabloids.'

'Good. :)'

'I'm off in ten. I'll call you when I'm done?'

'Of course! I'm doing nothing! Why did you have to leave the day before my off day? :('

'I have some power over management, but none over the rest of the boys. They didn't want to get in trouble. I gotta go, call ya in a bit! Love u sooooooo much! xxxxxx-N'

"I love you too! xxxxxx-C'

I put my phone down and went to the front of my bus.

"How ya doing Ross?" I asked my driver.

"Good. We're still a couple hours away. Are you hungry yet?"

I took a seat in the passengers seat next to him.

"A little, nothing big. What about you? Do you want anything?"

"Actually, is it possible you could get me an orange?"

"Boo! Too healthy!" I stuck my tongue out at him.

"I'm sorry that I don't have a metabolism as fast as your's and I have to work out to stay fit!"

"But your a bus driver, aren't you suppose to be like a chubby white man that's like a big teddy bear?"

Ross was a fit white man that had huge muscles that could probably lift a bolder.

"Hey! I'm a teddy bear!"

"Yea with no stuffing." I laughed.

I got up and got him his orange along with a green apple for myself.

The day included eating with Ross, mostly healthy stuff but it's still food, right?

I also wrote a couple new songs and played them for Ross. I called Niall and played a couple for him too over the phone but not all because, some were about him.

The day also included arriving at the next venue in Maine. After tonight and tomorrow I'm flying to LA and meeting my sister there. We have a week filled with interviews, mall appearances around California, and the Disney music awards. Demi and Selena are getting ready with us that night but my sister has no idea.

I like surprising my family with these.

"You need to go to sound check! We were running a bit late!" Ross rushed me out of the bus.

"Ok, see ya later Ross!"

I walked off and saw some girls waiting for Fifth Harmony to come out.

"You guys like Fifth Harmony?" I walked up to them.

"Omg it's Christi! We love you too we just though Fifth Harmony would see us because your so big!"

"Hold on a minute. Lemme go get the girls."

I walked inside and grabbed the Fifth Harmony girls along with the camera.

"Ross! Get out here! We need you to take a picture!" I slammed on the bus door.

He groaned and came out taking the camera.

We all got in a group photo and smiled.

"Now funny faces!" Camilla jumped up on Dinah's back and stuck out her tongue.

I had to leave to go to sound check but the other girls stayed and talked with their fans.

We quickly went over the dance moves I wasn't strong with and a couple songs that challenged my voice.

I was in the middle of a song when I sneezed.

"Sorry! Let's start again."

Right when I was supposed to start I coughed.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Noah came over to me.

"I don't think so. I feel fine."

"Here's a throat drop, it should coat your throat and you should be ready by show time."

"Thanks."

I was technically on vocal rest until fifteen minutes before the show.

"How's your throat feeling?"

"Horrible! It's burns!" I voice was scratchy as I lost my voice.

"We could always lip sync." a stage manager offered.

"No I can't do that! I would feel fake and it wouldn't be right to my fans!"

"Christi, I think thats the only option we have. Unless you want to cancel the show." Noah bent down next to me on the couch.

I took a deep breath thinking about this for a bit.

"But what about when I'm suppose to talk to them?"

"Just don't. We just need to get through tonight and we have tomorrow morning to figure everything out." Noah tried to reassure me.

"Fine. I'll do it." I agreed.

I still think it's a bad idea but the show must go on right?

This is the only thing that will let the show go on.
