Chapter 20

Sydney's POV

two weeks later

My mind goes wandering, "You don't mean anything to anyone!" My dad's voice booms in my head. I shake him out, like what I always do. I know his poisonous words aren't true. I know I mean a lot to the boys and their fans.

"We have to get to the stadium now!" I hear Liam yell across the hotel room, making me escape from my thoughts.
It's the first show on the North American leg of the tour. I've decided to watch the concert in the crowd again so I can interact with fans. Ever since I met Alexis, I felt like I've needed to interact with them more, especially the ones that don't have a great past either. Besides, I was once one of them before.

I gather my phone and purse, and I walk to the door with Liam waiting there for me. We walk down to the van with the tinted windows where the other guys are. All five guys are smiles and laughs. They love American shows and fans, but don't get me wrong they love all their fans endlessly.

"Are you excited to meet new fans again, Sydney?" Harry asks me with a smile.

"Of course I am! Ever since Alexis and I met and bonded, I'm now always excited to new people." I respond back honestly. I wonder that's how the guys feel. They know how many lives they have saved or helped, and it gets to them every time. I remember seeing Niall crying, because a fan came up to him and whispered something in his ear. I later overheard Niall telling Louis that the girl told him she was going to end her life, but decided not to.

"That's good! Do you think you will be joining us on stage tonight?" Harry says.

"What would I do on stage with you guys?" I ask in a confused tone.

"You could dance with us, or sing with us, or I don't know." He responds.

I guess it would be sort of cool being on stage and enjoying your dads' concert with them. But their fans are there to see them, not me. I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to be up there for one song. "Um, sure I guess I'll join for a song or two." I respond back.

We get to the stadium, and my goodness it's huge. I guess the whole 'Everything Is Bigger In America' thing is true. The crew is still setting up everything on stage, so the guys and I are backstage. Zayn and Louis are eating their usual pre-concert snack. Niall is currently God knows where backstage at the moment, and Liam and Harry are deciding when I should join them. They both eventually agree that I should come on at the end, so I can bow with them and everything. I'm okay with that, I think it will be pretty amazing honestly. Who knew that this would be my future? Five years ago I didn't even think I would make it past the new year. But here I am, a daughter to five amazing guys who I travel around the world with. I'm finally seeing myself break out of my sadness and past. I haven't harmed myself in awhile, and my self-confidence is beginning to rise a little. I'm also being a little more positive. When I realized I'm a role model to some people, it made me think that I should change for the better. I changed in the good ways I was thinking at the time, and plus more. However, I do have my bad moments, but everyone falls. I still have nightmares, but I now tell the guys about them, normally Liam since he always asks. I have the urge to relapse, but I now know to go occupy myself with one of the guys, whoever isn't busy with something. They guys have really helped me stand back up on my feet. I'm really proud of how far I have come. I would never thought any of this is possible, but I guess I was wrong. Anything is possible.

"Ready for the show?" Niall asks, coming out of no where.

"Absolutely!" I say excitedly.

I walk around with a security guard to get to the front row. There are so many fans here. Well that would make sense, since it is a sold out concert.
