chapter forty three

Brad

I held the microphone in my right hand. My pinky finger looped underneath the bottom of it, along with my thumb that is up near the top. My rings clapped against it every time I jump or dance along to the lyrics that got screamed back at us. The feeling in my heart making me want to jump and dance around with how ecstatic this is.

I glance at James to my right as we danced to the music of Wake Up, a huge smile plastered on my face as I jump up and down on the stage. Seeing everyone in the crowd do the same. I then glance to Con on my left who also had a huge grin on his face, much like mine and James'. I turn so a turn to the back of the stage where Tris sat at his drum kit, kicking and hitting the drums.

This is what I've dreamed of.

I've made it.

We've made it.

(feels!😭)

It all felt as if it was in slow motion.

My heart pumped so fast I thought I was going to pass out - I kept going because the feeling is indescribable. I can feel my blood rushing to every inch of my body, the hot feeling making my cheeks appear a pink/rosy colour.

As Wake Up finished, the four of us stood at the centre of the stage and threw our arms over the backs of our necks. I quickly brought the microphone to my mouth and said;

"Thank you, you beautiful lot! We'll see you soon. We love you. Goodnight!"

And with that, we took a bow with the biggest, goofiest smiles on our faces.

The crowd screamed and chanted goodness knows what as we exited the now dark, dim stage - a humming noise in the background so we can make a 'dramatic exit'; Joe's words.

This time we're staying in a hotel not too far from here. We have a small show/meet up in the main shopping centre tomorrow morning so we have to stay local.

We get to the hotel, which is very snazzy, (I can imagine brad saying 'snazzy' in this situation) we get our room keys and head up to our rooms. James is sharing with Con, Joe is sharing with Dean and I'm sharing with Tris. (I HAD TO BC IM TRADLEY/JONNOR AF OKAY)

I let out a sigh as I throw myself on the single bed. Tris unpacks his carry-on bag on his bed and puts his phone on the small table to the side.

"I'm so tired," I groaned and rubbed my eyes. The show was mental.

"I'm not surprised! You were jumping like there's no tomorrow," Tris laughed. I laughed along with him, but soon a frown rose to my face.

"Man, I'm worried.." I all of a sudden started to feel sick. My heart hurt. My stomach hurt. Everything hurts. I feel like something is wrong, like Maddie isn't okay, or that she's been lying to me saying she's fine and covering it up with a smile. I feel like I need to be with her right now.

"Why?" Tris asked walking towards me.

I sat up on the bed and ruffled my messy hair. I put my head in my hands and tried not to think the worst of things. She's probably having a great time with her friends and Ana or her mum, I need to stop worrying! But I can't.

"Maddie.. I feel like something isn't right. I feel as though she's keeping something from me or that she needs me to be with her but she doesn't want to ruin the tour," I sighed and wiped a tear away I didn't even realise fell.

I can't believe I'm crying right now.

"Don't worry, I feel the same with Ana. I worry about her all the time! It's normal, you're just not used to being away from her this long, it's just separation anxiety," Tris said. I nodded. I did make sense to be fair.

But I just feel like that's not it. I can feel it in my heart, something isn't right...
