Missing Pieces || Zach Herron

Carmen's POV:

The bus pulled up just down the road from Jack and I's house and I jumped up next to him grinning from ear to ear. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it smiling back at me.

I pulled him behind me dragging him off of the bus and down the road towards our house. The other boys followed a bit away from us and I ran straight to the front door of our house.

Jack smiled at me and knocked on the door just as the other boys caught up to us. Isla opened the door and ran straight into our arms.

"Isla!" I cheered bending down to hug her.

"I missed you guys!" She said hugging us.

Jack bent down next to me and ruffled her hair just as I noticed Ava leaning in the door way. I shot up and pulled her into a hug, "I missed you!"

"I missed you too!" She cheered before stepping aside to hug Jack.

I put my arm around Isla's back and walked into the house with her and the other boys. I noticed our mom sitting on the couch and ran to her.

"Carmen!" She exclaimed while wrapping her arms around me.

"Hi mama!"

She wiped the tears from her eyes and hugged me again before running over to Jack. I sat on the couch next to Daniel and Isla on the other side of me.

"It's nice to be home isn't it?" He grinned.

I nodded and looked over at Isla who was bouncing happily. I laughed, "Excited for the show?"

She nodded jumping up before dancing around in circles. Jack walked over with our mom and we were all sitting together on the couch talking about the show the boys had later tonight.

The boys said they had to leave to go to sound check so we said our goodbyes and I headed upstairs to my old room with Isla and Ava.

We watched old videos and danced around to the boys songs before heading to the bathroom to get ready for the show. I threw on a pair of ripped black high waisted jeans, the boys white long sleeve why don't we shirt and tied a red patterned flannel around my waist.

Isla threw on the cross over sweatshirt with a pair of white washed jeans and Ava wore the 1/5 Avery shirt with a pair of ripped jeans that had fishnet tights underneath.

I pulled my hair back into a fishtail and helped Isla straighten her hair while Ava did her own dutch braids.

I smiled at our work and grabbed my phone before climbing into my moms car. We listened to the radio on the way to the concert and without realizing it started playing, 'Trust Fund Baby.'

I recorded it, posted it to my snapchat story and sent it to the boys.  As we pulled up to the venue we saw tons of screaming fangirls.

Once we had parked I climbed out grabbing Ava and Islas hands so they didn't get sucked into the crowd.

We stayed right next our mom who found our way to the meet and greet area. After looking around we realized we were only a few people back in line.

I smiled and watched as the boys came out causing all the fans around us to scream. I covered my ears and laughed as Ava and Isla did the same.

We saw fans go up to meet and take pictures with the boys. The smiles on their faces were priceless.

At this point there was only 2 people left in front of us and I waved to the boys. Daniel noticed and waved back causing the fans to scream again.

We walked up to take a picture with the boys and it looked like this:
Corbyn, Ava, Daniel, Me, Jack, our mom, Zach, Isla, and then Jonah.

We hugged the boys and wished them good luck before heading to our spot for the show. My jaw dropped when my mom said we were right in front of the stage and I ran straight there.

I decided to go live on instagram while other fans crowded the auditorium. Isla pointed out that Daniel joined and sent a request to join my live.

I accepted and moments later the boys faces appeared on the bottom of the screen. This caused the amount of viewers to explode.

I laughed and waved at the camera, "You guys excited for the show?"

"Can't wait!" Daniel cheered.

"Woah that's a lot of people!" Jack winked as I showed the whole auditorium.

"Alright the shows starting soon." Jonah laughed.

"Good luck boys see you soon! We're front and center." I smiled.

They waved goodbye and left the live before I said my goodbyes to the fans on the live and ended it.

The fans in the auditorium were all in their spots waiting for the show and suddenly the lights darkened.

Screams of excitement filled the auditorium as bright flashes of lights appeared everywhere and the boys came out.

I sang along to the songs and danced around with Ava and Isla during the whole show. During one of the songs Jack reached down towards us and smiled at our mom.

By the end our mom was crying because she was so proud of how far they've come. When the show ended and the boys left the stage we were told to stay for a minute by security.

The other fans either left or stayed behind for the short party after. We were called up a side stair way into the backstage area where the boys were.

Isla ran up to Jack and jumped on him causing us all to laugh. I walked up to Daniel first and hugged him, "You did great!"

"Thanks it was a lot  fun!" He smiled.

I hugged Jonah and Corbyn before making my way to Zach who pulled me into an awkward side hug. I walked over to Jack and he laughed raising an eyebrow at me, "How was that huh?"

"It was absolutely amazing! I'm so glad I get to see more!" I cheered causing him to become confused.

"Boys the fans are waiting." Someone called from the other room.

"Carmen come with us." Daniel said before pulling me away.

I looked back over my shoulder at my family, "I'll be back!" I laughed.

We walked into the crowded room where music was playing and fans were dancing. The boys separated throughout the room to greet their fans and I stood against a wall laughing and smiling.
