Missing Pieces || Zach Herron

-11-

Carmen's POV:

I followed the boys out to where they had the meet and greet and stood to the side of the photographer. A smile grew on my face as I watched the fans pose with the boys.

We were at the Boston show and I looked around excitedly knowing two of closest friends I'd met on the internet were coming. I saw them walking up to pose with the boys but they didn't notice me until after they took the picture.

Jack handed them two passes with a note and pointed to the backstage. I squealed before dragging them behind me to the green room. The note read,

Maddie and Ashlynn,

Have fun backstage with Carmen during the show. The other boys and I will make sure to come say hello before we leave. Enjoy the show :)

~Jack

I pulled them into a hug and we sat down on the couches talking about how much they loved the boys. I sighed and laughed, "Can I tell you guys something?"

"Of course!" Ashlynn smiled.

"Liam cheated with Maya." I paused, "So I ranted about it to Zach and we kinda..."

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Maddie laughed screaming.

"Well..."

"Tell us!!" Ashlynn yelled.

"We kissed..." I whispered laughing.

"You didn't." Maddie said looking at Ashlynn.

"I just realized something." Ashlynn whispered creepily.

"Huh?" I mummbled.

"We've been talking over dm for so long and I don't have you numbers." She said.

"Off topic Ashlynn but yeah." I laughed.

We exchanged phones and traded phone numbers before making a group chat with just us and one with the boys. A few minutes later the boys walked over and Ashlynn noticed screaming causing Maddie to scream.

The boys talked to them for a few minutes and I could see Daniel eyeing Maddie. I laughed and shook it off before glancing over and seeing Jack blushing as Ashlynn talked to him.

"Oh my god why nowwww." I whined causing me to get weird looks from everyone, "I said that out loud didn't I." I sighed.

Zach nodded laughing before coming over and kissing my cheek, I smilec and laughed, "See you after the show." Him and the boys walked over towards the stage to wait for the show to start while I sat with the girls.

"So you and Zach huh?" Maddie asked.

"So you and Daniel hmmmm." I rolled my eyes laughing.

"What about Ashlynn and Jack!?" She laughed.

"Double dates!" I yelled.

"Um, Carmen." Ashlynn laughed, "That's three couples."

"Oh um. Triple dates!" I yelled.

We moved over to where the TV was and watched in awe as the boys preformed. We sang and danced to all the songs going live for a few on Instagram.

The boys came backstage when the show finished and we talked again for a few minutes before it was time for the after party.

I walked around with Ashlynn and Maddie talking about how they should fly out for two weeks to spend one with me while the boys had tour and one when they came back for a break.

When the party ended we said our goodbyes and I started walking back towards the exit with the boys. I stopped in my tracks suddenly feeling one of my spells come over me and Zach noticed holding back a little.
