Through New Eyes...

Chapter 11

                                           **3 Days before leaving**

"WE ARE GOING BACKSTAGE!!!" Evelyn jumped around my room as we got ready to leave. "Calm down hun, you've met them before. What's so different now?"

"Because now it feels more real." I guess she was right, it didn't seem real when I first met them so I guess it was the same for her. I knew I should be happy, but all I could think was that soon all of this would be over and Niall would go back to his regular life with all of the girls chasing him. Okay, enough negative thoughts. My foot had mostly healed and it only hurt a little when I walked, not to mention that I was going to my first ever concert, which happened to be my boyfriend and his (now also my) best friends' band. "Aly, you ready to see the amazing top that I made you just for the concert?"

"Oh crap, I forgot about that." I turned around and braced myself for what she was making me wear. She said she would give me twenty bucks if I wore it, thirty if I kept it on for the whole concert and didn't just wear a singlet I had underneath or something. "Whatever, now go put this on." She threw a top at me that had NALY written across it with big hearts around it. "Seriously? Noo, I can't wear this."

"Oh come on, you want the money and we have to hurry up and leave anyway."

"I hate you." I pulled the top on and grabbed my jacket Niall had given me. I was once again wearing my red Chuck Taylor's that mum had gotten me for my birthday, a pair of home made mini shorts.. they were actually just some jeans that looked ugly so I cut them up, and Evelyn's delightful shirt. She had her brown hair straightened and put it into a side ponytail, she had some canvas shoes, three quarter shorts and a white shirt that she had spray painted to have a bright orange carrot. We left in the cool mobile, that's what I call Evey's car, it's this old truck/ute type thing. It wasn't actually that bad, but it looked pretty beat up and when I first saw it I called it the cool mobile, it has been it's nickname since then. We drove to the venue and went into the VIP area as we got to the section where security was I saw Travis, one of the boys' security guards. Eve wound down her window and grabbed the tickets to show him so that we would be let in. "Hey Travis!" I lent forward and he looked pretty shocked to see me in the car. "Miss Aleisha, I though you would have been inside with the boys right now."

"Has Bobby told everyone to call me that or something? He knows I hate it."

"Sorry Aly, and it's Paul too. Just so that you know, well you girls enjoy the show. I'll see you later Aly." He smiled and handed Evelyn back the tickets, she parked the cool mobile and as we were getting out of the car I heard a girl squeal. There were some quick footsteps and two girls, probably about seven or eight came running up to me and Eve. "Oh my gosh. Aly?" One of them asked me holding tightly onto the other's hand.

"Yeah love, that's me." I laughed. They were grinning ecstatically up at us. "Oh my carrots, I love you. You and Niall are totally gonna get married one day!" One of them burst out.

"Well it's always good to meet the fans that know the future. It's nice to meet you girls, what are your names?"

"Oh uh, I'm Maisey.." The shorter of the two said, "Yeah, and I'm Megan."

"Well it's nice to meet you Maisey and Megan, are you going to be going to meet the boys backstage?"

"Yes! My dad waited with us in line for hours to make sure that we would get there soon enough to buy some for backstage as well."

"Your dad must be pretty nice, is he here with you?"

"Yeah, he said we can only be a minute so that we're not late. But can we have a picture with you?"
