Let Me Show You

13. The Elevator

*** It's AUGUST! I'm still getting done with camp (unpacking) so this chapter is kinda short but after this they will be long-ish again! Please vote! xoxoxo***

*snap* *snap* *snap*

"I think I've got enough pictures from up here! Let's head back down and you can show me the rest of the stage!" I turn to Beckett to find him staring at me. "What?"

"Sorry I was... um... I was just, zoning out, yeah sorry. Let's go" he says holding the door open for me.

"I'm so excited to walk down all these stairs! Yay..." Diamonds may be a girls best friend, but sarcasm is my'n.

"Nah, don't worry we are getting off right here."

"But we have only gone down one flight of stairs..."

"Just trust me!" So I just follow him out the door into a large hallway sort of room. "Just a bit further..." He leads me through a dark smaller hallway and I can hear "Kiss You" getting louder. We come to a black curtain and he flings it open revealing the stadium once more. "Instead of taking the stairs all the way back down, you might as well snap some pictures in the seating area! Plus it will be much more fun traveling through this than the boring cement stairs!"

"Okay I guess..." It seems a bit sketchy but I follow him down the stairs through the seats. *snap* *snap* Now "Rock Me" is playing and I can't help but sing along. *snap* Even with no one in the audience, the boys are acting just like it's a real performance.

"Thank you London for having us! We would just like to take this moment to thank our fans, family, the crew and one special girl... Dakota for helping to share OUR BEAUTIFUL faces to the world through her amazing pictures!" Zayn can be such an ass sometimes...

"Round of applause for Dakota everybody!" And then there's Louis. I hear someone actually clapping and turn to see Beckett smiling at me.

"Stop it!" I yell running after him. "Live While We're Young" starts playing and I stop dead in my tracks. This was one of my favorites... I look down at the stage to see the boys all doing their signature dance moves. *snap* *snap* *snap*

By the time I look back to where Beckett was, I see he is already twice as far away now. I get about halfway caught up to him before I notice a red "Exit" sign with an arrow under that reading: Elevator.

I follow the arrow to the elevator and press the button. It takes about a minute for the elevator to get down to my floor and when it arrives it is full of three boys who are all tackling each other. As soon as they see me they stand straight up and make room for me in silence. 

"What's your name?" The blonde one asks. He has a strange accent but I cannot figure it out...

"I'm Dakota, who are you?"

"You don't know who I am?" He seems genuinely surprised.

"No, should I?"

"Why are you here?" The dark haired one asks leaning in to look at my face. I lean away before responding.

"I am One Direction's new photographer... who are you?" I ask again.

"It doesn't matter who we are. If you really are One Direction's new photographer why aren't you down taking pictures of them?"

"Well I was taking far-away shots but now I need to get closer shots which is why I am on the elevator going down." The dark haired one nods in approval. "So are you going to tell me who you all are?"

"No!" The two say in unison as the other boy leads them out of the elevator and I am left alone riding down two more floors still wondering who those strange guys were. They were really cute...

Once I reach the floor level, I follow Beckett's instructions he gave me from the tour and find myself right at the edge of the stage. I look up to spot a tiny figure moving quickly down the stairs. Beckett.

The boys start singing "Happily" and I spot Zayn walking right towards me. *snap*

"Cause we're on fire, we're on fire, we're on fire now" he sings looking directly at me. Niall comes running up behind him and pushes him out of the way before executing his signature jump. *snap*

There voices fit together almost like puzzles pieces. I finally spot Beckett who is only a few rows away now.

"What took so long?" I say in the most innocent way possible tilting my head to the side.

"You cheated! I don't know how... but I know you did!" He finally catches up to me just as Valorie is spotted in the entrance I came in moments ago.

"Beck we need your help figuring out some stuff could you come along please?" She seems a bit stressed out and I can tell she is anxious by the tapping of her foot and shaking of her hands.

"Sure thing!" He yells out to her before turning back to me. "Well I have to go but I hope you enjoyed the Beck Montague tour! It was a pleasure to have you Dakota!" He takes a step back and gives a small bow.

"Montague?"

"That's my last name, like Romeo from Romeo & Juliet! Well I got to go catch up to Val! See you around!"

"Parting is such sweet sorrow!" I say throwing my head back connecting the back of my hand to my forehead as I watch Beckett jog away laughing at my silly reference to the book I can practically read from memory. Someday I'll find my Romeo, and parting really will become sweet sorrow...
