Chapter 3: Baby, when life gets colder I'll be your soldier

*several months later*

"Faith" my boyfriend Connor called from across the stage

"Yes?" I replied

"Come here for a minute, I need you" he said.                                                                                             Let me pause for a minute and get you caught up on what has happened since we last talked. Zayn and I texted back and forth a lot and I sorta went on with life after recovering from the hate that I got when after the paps found out what happened and told the world. My best friend Desiree dragged me to a Before You Exit concert trying to cheer me up, she knew I was really struggling. I stopped going places because the boys faces are every where today and often girls recognized me and they always stopped to talk to me, some where sympathetic. Most broke the Directioner code of conduct and hated on a "family member." So I became a hermit. At the concert I met Connor, Desiree had written a long letter to him telling him my story and that I was a huge fan of the band and had a soft spot for him. He decided to meet me and invited me to have Starbucks. I agreed only because I wanted Desiree and Riley to meet. I was not ready to be around boys. Well to make a long story short we exchanged numbers and after two months of dating he took me back to the concert hall we met at and asked me to be his girlfriend. Now that you are all caught up let's go back to the story.

I walked in there and all of the guys were staring at me, Toby had a worried look on his face and Riley was absent-mindedly strumming on his guitar. "I bought us front row tickets to a One Direction concert . It's next week at six" Connor said. Poor Connorbear had quiet forgotten about my past, I still loved some of the songs but when I tried to listen to "What Makes You Beautiful", "Kiss You", "Summer Love" and "Back for You" I would burst into tears. They all brought back memories of the past. (Under Toby's bunk I had a box full of One Direction related things a few posters, albums and stories/imagines I had written. Even the letters I wrote them, I gave all of the boys copies of them when I met them.)

I managed to smile and looked excited, I acted like a regular fan would if they were given tickets to their favorite bands concert. "Ohmygosh!!!" I said and gave Connor a huge hug

"Thank you so much! That was so sweet." Toby looked at me and I could tell he had seen past the acting, he gave Connor a look and said "Come with me, I have something for you that will make you faint" he led me to the tour bus and pulled an envelope out of his leather jacket's pocket. Connor was not very far behind us and stepped onto the bus just as I opened the letter. I opened it up and pulled out two tickets to Playlist Live along with meet and greet tickets. I dropped them like they were hot potatoes and covered my mouth to prevent the scream that wanted to come out. I managed to calm down enough to pick them up and give Toby a hug "Thank you Toby, you are very thoughtful" I turned around to go find Connor "Oh hey babe, I was about to go looking for you" I said and wrapped my arms around him. "I need to show you how much I loved my present that you gave me" I said and gave him a look. Toby coughed to remind me that he was behind me "oh sorry Tobs" I said and released Connor, Toby went out and turned around "no purple" he said. I just grinned and shut the door behind him, " Do you want to know how much I loved it?" I asked him and looked him in the eyes "Yes I do" he said with a smile on his face. "close your eyes" I instructed him, he closed his eyes and I gave him a kiss on the cheek, he opened his eyes and smiled at me. " I am glad you love it so much. How come you do not have any merchandise?"he asked. I really did not want to answer that and was very glad my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller I.D. It was Zayn "I will be right back" I promised, he nodded and I went outside

phone convo:

Me: Hello?

Zayn: Hello love...
