A Drop Of Blue [One Direction: Harry Styles]

Chapter 11

"I don't get it," I deadpanned, looking at Josh flatly. He groaned and rubbed a hand over his face.

"Well then... Too bad, I'm not going to try and explain again," he gave up and just grabbed the IQ thingy that made absolutely no sense. I just shrugged and watched him do it. It just didn't make any sense to me.

I grumbled and threw a pillow at him and stomped away. I ended up walking around and found myself in a small box thingy. I hear a door close and gasp. Twisting the doorknob, I find out it's locked. "Oh God."

I looked around frantically, but I was stuck in a small supply closet. Groaning, I knocked on the door, shouting for help, but no one came. "Great. I'm supposed to get on stage in..." I check my watch. "3 minutes."

Looking around, I found a vent and quickly went to action. I pulled it open and lifted myself in, crawling. I crawled for what felt like an eternity and my knees hurt by the time I found an opening. I twisted around in the cramped space and kicked it open, then slid out, fixed my hair and looked around.

People stood around staring at me. Great, I managed to come out where everyone is sitting. The stage is all the way on the other side of the room. The curtains opened just then and everyone screamed and cheered while I was mortified.

They started the opening and I felt relieved when Niall appeared, playing the guitar for me since I was MIA. "Oh Lord," I gasped and quickly ran. I felt overwhelmed when a lot of people suddenly screamed louder and I got crowded. Letting out a small groan, I ducked down and crawl on the floor through the mass of people, all the way over to the stage.

"There you are," Paul sighed and lifted me over the fence. I hugged him like a koala bear and he lifted me onto the stage. Everyone gave me looks, so I smiled sheepishly before running to my position and grabbing my guitar. Quickly, I jumped into the song and played my heart out.

Niall now got to concentrate on singing again.

The first song finished and Harry came to my side, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "Where were you?" he asked me, but spoke into the mic and then held it in front of me. "I got stuck in a supply closet thingy, found a vent, crawled through it and came out right over there," I said and pointed across the room to the small hole in the wall. "And then I came late... Again."

Everyone looked amused at my unfortune. "Why am I not surprised," Zayn said and everyone started laughing. I looked over the crowd and grinned when I saw Nathan, Lilianna, Tommy, Verna, Brenda and people that were obviously their friends. Quickly, I got out of my position and went over to where they were all standing.

"Hey guys," I grinned and made Paul lift me down. I bent over the fence and gave them all hugs. "I'll see you after the concert, right?" I asked and they all nodded. "Great. Paul!" He chuckled and lifted me back up. I got up just in time to start playing. I sang along to the lyrics quietly, but when Lou came to my side suddenly and held the microphone by my mouth as well, I sang along with him and giggled afterwards.

The concert was a bunch of fun and when it was done, we messed around on our way back to the changing room. The boys didn't even think about me being there anymore, they just went into the bathroom and showered, walking out in their boxers and drying their hair.

I got showered and dressed before walking out though.

We didn't really shower, just wash up quickly so we didn't have to feel so sweaty and gross and put on our chill clothes.

"Boys! Aqua! You've got guests," someone shouted through the door. I quickly ran over there, dressed in grey sweats, a turquoise jumper, sand UGGs and a white knitted beanie on my now dry hair.
