In Real Life Imagines

What a Mess (Chapter 23)

"Thank you all for coming to the three year anniversary, private meet and greet with the old members of Boyband!" Nick Carter yells into the microphone.

The fans all scream and cheer, jumping up and down and snapping pictures excitedly.

"We've got a lot of familiar faces for you all tonight. Who remembers Jon Klassen?"

The fans cheer again.

"Jaden?"

More cheers.

"What about Dorian, Marcus, and Cam?"

The cheers only grow louder.

"We've also got Devin and Miles! And both of our Andrews came back!"

Louder.

"And Mikey and J-Hype!"

More cheering.

"And of course we have America's boyband here with us. They won the show. It's In Real Life!"

The cheers grow deafening now as all the boys go running out to give fans high fives and wave to the ones they can't reach just yet.

"We appreciate every single one of you being here. The way this will work is we will let one fan up at a time to get autographs and a picture with each of the boys. There are a lot of you here so we are going to have to move pretty quickly alright? But first, how about a song?" Nick Carter explains.

The fans all start screaming again and everyone grins, pulling microphones out of their pockets. They all perform a fan favorite from the show, Uptown Girl by Billy Joel, even though some of them were not there by that point. 

When they finish performing they are directed to their seats behind a long table. A manager hands each boy a marker and they let the first fan come over.

I sit with the other girlfriends off to the side, watching how happy the boys are to meet their fans and talk to them.

"Excuse me?" I hear a small voice and peel my eyes away from Chance, looking up at the fan standing in front of us girls.

"What's up sweetie?" I ask politely, giving her a warm smile.

"I'm a really big fan. I-I didn't know you were going to be here today, but is it okay if I get a picture with you?" She asks shyly, lookingdoen at her feet.

I smile more and look at John with questioning eyes. He nods for me to go ahead and I stand up.

"I think a picture is a great idea. Do you want a smiling one or should we do a silly one?" I ask. The girl beams and pulls her phone out.

"A silly one!" I bend down slightly to her height so my head is next to hers and stick my tongue out, crossing my eyes. She holds out her phone and snaps a quick picture.

"Thank you so much!" She cheers. I smile and hug her gently.

"I'm always happy to meet a fan! What's your name dear?"

"CeCe." She answers.

"Well CeCe, it was so lovely to meet you. Keep being you and don't let anyone tell you different okay?" I reply, giving her one more hug.

She grins and nods. "Thank you!" As she walks away John comes over to me.

"I forget you have such a following sometimes because you don't act like a celebrity," he says quietly.

I raise an eyebrow. "Is that good or bad?"

"That's definitely good. You don't let it get to your head. You keep the boys from losing their identities too so thank you for that," John explains.
