One Direction: The Australian Edition

Chapter 8

We were lead from the lobby into a cold, dark room & were stepped up into what we thought was a car. We were off to an unknown location, a couple of times we heard the boys laugh at us because we had no clue where we were headed.

“Were here!” said Liam as the car had come to a stop.

We walked a fair way before we could take our blindfold off. The boys walked behind us & untied our blindfolds & said open your eyes. Our eyes slowly opened we were at the back of the concert hall looking down onto that stage. Laying on that stage was a big picnic rug & a selection of small foods for afternoon tea.

“We told Zayn & Harry what we had gotten up to last night & they were both upset that they missed out. So before people start setting up for the performance we got them to lay out a picnic,” explained Louis.

“So that’s why we got you to get ready so early,” Niall continued.

We headed down to the stage & ate with the boys; we all had a great time, just like every other moment we had spent with them. As the props started to be put on stage we got up & headed backstage into their dressing rooms where we got to hang out before the audience started to arrive. They were all in daggy clothes: sweat pants & shirts because Lou didn’t trust them in their performance clothes hours before they were due to go on stage. Shalima & Emily threw a footy around with Liam & Harry for a bit but they couldn’t dive for it because of the dresses. Lou let Natalie style Niall’s hair, Jessica sat with Zayn on the couch & just talked & Jacqui & Louis were sitting watching Liam throw the footy Emily & Shalima. About 40 minutes later Johnny Ruffo walked in & we all looked up at him & smiled as we were also fans of him (not as much as One Direction though).

“Well, well who do we have here?” Johnny said.

“These are our girls,” Harry said smiling.

So for about an hour we got to sit on the couch with Johnny Ruffo as well as the boys before we had to sneak out behind & walk in through the front of the concert hall. Although we did take plenty of pictures so we could capture the moment. Paul walked in & told us that it was time for the boys to get ready & for us to go find our way out to the front. We walked out of their dressing room & found Preston waiting for us outside to help us find our way out front. Louis came running out of the door as we were about to walk outside & grabbed Jacqui’s hand.
