Catherine's POV:

        It's the day of my first concert and I woke up nervous and sweaty. The boys and Emma are trying to calm me down, but it doesn't work. All day I'm fretting and trying to pick the right outfit. I finally decide on a deep purple strapless dress, a gold statement nicklace, and black high heels. When we get to the venue, I get my hair curled and my makeup natural. Then, we all wait backstage as the boys are also getting ready.

        "Catherine, are you sure you're ready for this?" Emma eyes me nervously. I don't know if I'm ready, really, but it's too late.

        "Of course! Never been more ready!" I laugh casually. When the boys come back to wish me luck, Ashton pulls me in for a hug and whispers, 

        "Can't wait for our date tommorow night. I have a great surprise planned." Oh great. Now I'm nervous about two things. When I am about to go onstage, I look back, give everyone a thumbs up, and head out.

        The first things I notice are the lights. They're above the stage and very hot. But, I can't see the audience. I can only hear the cheers of thousands of people. Immediately, my legs turn to jello and I walk up to the microphone. "Hey guys, I'm really glad you all came out here tonight! The first song I'm going to start out with is an acoustic cover of I Knew You Were Trouble!" I strum the notes on my guitar and sing the first line. Soon, I'm lost in the music and all my worries fade away. After a couple of covers and originals, I'm ready for the final song. "It's been really great, so I'm going to close my set with the song that brought me out here today! She Looks So Perfect!" Immediately the crowd goes wild and I begin. 

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Simmer down, simmer down

They say we're too young now to amount to anything else

But look around

We worked too damn hard for this just to give it up now

If you don't swim, you'll drown

But don't move, honey

You look so perfect standing there

In my American Apparel underwear

And I know now, that I'm so down

Your lipstick stain is a work of art

I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart

And I know now, that I'm so down

Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Let's get out, let's get out

'Cause this deadbeat town's only here just to keep us down

While I was out, I found myself alone just thinking

If I showed up with a plane ticket

And a shiny diamond ring with your name on it

Would you wanna run away too?

'Cause all I really want is you

You look so perfect standing there

In my American Apparel underwear

And I know now, that I'm so down

I made a mix-tape straight out of '94

I've got your ripped skinny jeans lying on the floor

And I know now, that I'm so down

Hey! Hey, hey, hey hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

You look so perfect standing there

In my American Apparel underwear

And I know now, that I'm so down

Your lipstick stain is a work of art

I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart

And I know now, that I'm so down

Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

You look so perfect standing there

In my American Apparel underwear

And I know now, that I'm so down (hey!)

Your lipstick stain is a work of art

I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart

And I know now, that I'm so down
