One Direction: The Australian Edition

Chapter 9

She turned around but before she could say anything Louis kissed her on the cheek. “See you out there,” he said before turning back into the dressing room.

“OH MY GOSH!” the four of us synchronised. That’s all we talked about until we had reached the entrance filled with hundreds of screaming fans.

“If only we could keep talking about our experiences…” sighed Shalima

But as we were out with the general public no one else could know, as it was our secret with them. You hear rumours about the boys getting girlfriends on Twitter and some lovely fans send them support but unfortunately others send hate. None of us wanted them getting sent hate so we just kept it between ourselves.

We were seated in Hisense Arena for about an hour before Justice Crew hit the stage. As we had 4th row seats we had to be first in the door as they were filling the arena from front to back.

“I do admit Justice Crew & Johnny Ruffo were amazing but we were all waiting for our boys,” Jessica said.

“Our boys, it feels weird to say that they’re our boys,” whispered Natalie.

“Yeah, you imagine and dream of calling them that but in reality when it’s true, it’s so surreal!” replied Emily.

Finally! The moment we’d been waiting for, the boys took centre stage. The screen behind them played a short video before they began to sing. It showed a picture of each boy, their likes and dislikes, but which Directioner doesn’t know that? We just sat their admiring their beautiful, perfect, angelic faces. Then…

“We’ve got a bit of love hate, take me to the edge and you hit the brakes,” Harry’s voice echoed throughout Hisense Arena followed by hundreds of girls singing along.

At times when they were singing songs like Gotta Be You, What Makes You Beautiful and Everything About You they would point in our direction look at us, smile and point out to the rest of the crowd.

The boys faded away with the dulling lights. “That was absolutely incredible!” Jacqui shouted as we walked out to the merchandise stand.

“Phenomenal!”

“Speechless!”

“Amazing!”

“Indescribable!”

Each one of us commented on the concert and their performance and we all agreed that it was the best concert we would ever go to. We walked up to one of the stalls and each purchased a “Tour Programme” to capture & remember the experience. We had waited until a majority of the girls had left the arena before we bought the book so we didn’t have to stand in line for ages. As we were about to walk out of Hisense Arena and catch a bus back to the hotel we heard a man behind us but at first didn’t think anything of it.

“…girls? Girls!” the deep voice repeated several times until we turned around. It was Preston.

“The boys sent me to try and find you before you had left the arena. Come with me they have something to ask/give you.” Preston continued.
