A New Turn

Chapter 21

LOUIS POV

I felt like I had gotten use to the press by the end of the day. Which was good, cause it was going to need that for the future. At least, I was hoping...

We arrived at the venue to the sound of screaming girls. I wasn't sure if I would ever get used to this. We waved a little bit but mainly kept covered. We would see them later anyway.

I was so nervous getting ready for the concert. It felt worse than the X Factor Final. I could tell that the boys were the same. At this moment, I really wanted to see Caitlin.

We all got dressed and we all looked really great surprisingly. We weren't all matching which we hated. I didn't want to look like a typical boy band with the matching clothes and synchronised dance routines. We wanted to be ourselves, and so far that was working.

We were warming up in our dressing room when we all heard the door swing open. Standing there was Bri, Danielle, Paul and Caitlin. Gorgeous Caitlin.

"Hey girls!" Harry yelled out first before going to give them each a hug. Then Zayn followed, then Niall and Liam but they took their girls away to the couches. God how I wanted to do that with Caitlin. But baby steps.

So it didn't look awkward, I decided I should go up and hug her. I leaned in and so did she. She smelt like daisies. I couldn't get enough.

She pulled away and went over to the snack table. I didn't exactly want her to but I couldn't really do much about that.

I went to sit the others on the couch, butterflies fluttering uncontrollably in my stomach. Liam and Niall kept kissing their girlfriends. I really wanted to kiss someone right now. God, Niall and Bri were so freaking adorable. As much as I hated that, that was all I truly wanted.

I kept glancing over at Caitlin as Liam kept flirting with Dani. He needed to tone it down a little.

Caitlin looked so innocent. At the same time, she looked so nervous. But looked so perfect standing there. So I called her over.

"Hey Caitlin, come over."

She headed straight towards us and sat right next to me. Was she trying to kill me?

Before I could think about anything else, the door swung open. Niall and Bri jumped off each other and so did Dani and Liam. They were monkeys.

It was Paul.

"Hey boys, it's show time."

So this was really happening. I couldn't control myself. I was just moving on auto pilot. Various scenarios ran in my head about how things could go wrong or how things could go right. My mind truly was all over the place.

We all jumped up and headed out the door. I kept my head down and so did the rest of the boys. Niall starting looking a little paler than usual. But I knew he would be fine.

My vision was becoming blurry. I started leaning onto Harry.

"Woah woah mate are you alright?"

"Yeah I think so."

We reached the side stage and I was about to fall flat on my face. It was about 15 minutes before we had to go on.

"Ok, I'm going to take the girls to their seats now. Someone get Louis some water."

Bri and Dani kissed their boys on the cheek, and all 3 of them followed slowly behind Paul. I was far too focused on the show now to car about saying good bye to Caitlin. Yet I heard her say good luck to me which I really appreciated. She was such a gem.

Harry shoved a glass of water down my throat. "Harry take a chill! We won't him to feel better not worse!" Thanks Liam, I needed that. It felt like Harry was trying to kill me.

"I'm sorry. I just want him to be right for the show!" I did actually feel a lot better.

As Harry tried shoving more water and I think a couple of biscuits down my throat, I finally spoke up.

"Woah woah woah ok ok ok I'm feeling better just stop trying to kill me!"

"Oh good, you've got colour in your cheeks!" Paul chimed as he walked over to us. "You right to go on Louis?"

"Yeah I'm good."

"Well great, cause you're on in 2."

This was it. The moment that we had been waiting for. This was the reason that I auditioned for X Factor. And I was alongside 4 of my brothers. I immediately started feeling a lot more excited than nervous.

The whole crew all joined in a huddle. Lots of good lucks and congratulations were said before everyone threw their hands in the middle of the circle. A massive cheer was sung.

Before I could think about anyone else, we were being pushed towards the stage. More images ran through my head.

"You ready for this boys?" Niall spoke in his classic Irish accent as the intro for the concert was playing.

"YEP LETS DO THIS!" I didn't realise how excited Zayn was. He'd been pretty quiet up until now.

Us 5 boys linked arms in a huddle.

"Brothers yeah?" Harry asked us.

"Brothers." Liam answered back on behalf of us.

"Let's do this boys!" My nerves were finally fully gone as I spoke in excitement.

We pulled away from each other as the music died down and the lights blacked out.

This was it.
