Jack's Pov

I waited about 20 minutes until Charlotte came onto the bus with Jonah. She threw a bag of stuff on her bunk, then seeing Eben look like a zombie. "God damn, what happened to you during the night?" she said staring. I pulled her off to the side, since I didn't tell anyone else my plan.

"You need to sing tonight" I whisper. "..Many people love your voice and this is a great opportunity for you"

"U-uh, I'm not sure.." she starts to say, "I tend to get nervous when others hear me sing live"

"I know you'll do great. Everyone gets nervous before a performance, especially Zach" We laugh. "So, are you gonna do it?" I let Charlotte take a minute to think about it. "Ok, I'll do it"

Charlotte has been laying in her bunk ever since she agreed to sing for Eben tonight. It was time to go in for the fans who got limelight tickets, but this time I wanted to let Charlotte come with us.

"Hey Charlotte" I say standing next to her bed. She opens her curtain with her back facing me. "Yea?"
"I'm taking you to meet limelights with us" She turns to face me with a smirk, then gets out of her bunk with her phone.

"Hey, are you ok?" I ask as we walk to the venue. "Yea, I'm just kind of nervous for the concert.."
We stop at the doors. "Charlotte, I know you'll do great. You don't have to worry about what people think. Most of the limelights have heard your voice already and love it"

My motivating sentence made Charlotte smile, which made me smile. I open the doors, which triggered some fans scream their heads off. The rest of the guys were chilling with the limelights and receiving gifts. Charlotte stuck with me most of the time, receiving some positive comments and hugs as well.

As I was talking with a few girls, I noticed Charlotte was having a conversation with a girl who was really excited and twitching a lot. I recognized the girl from somewhere, but I couldn't remember. Once I was finished talking to the girls I was with, I went over to Charlotte since she was done her conversation as well.

"Hey, who were you just talking to, she looked familiar.."

"Oh Hollie? She was the girl that wrote that letter you gave to me" Charlotte smiled. "She's very nice. She has tourette syndrome, so she was twitching and flopping her hair a lot..I like it."

"She sounds nice" I say.
"Yea, she said her brother was here and wanted me to meet him"
Just as she said that, Hollie came back with her brother who was my height. "Hi Jack!" Hollie says to me excited. I smile and give her a hug.

Hollie's brother was twitching as well, but instead of a hair flop we kept whispering things under his breath. "This is Stephen He has autism and tourettes and loves you guys" Stephen puts his hands out as it shakes. I take his hand with a firm grip and shake it, which makes him smile as his eyes look everywhere but my face.

Charlotte and Stephen shake hands as Hollie smiles at all of us. "Y-you're my favorite" Stephen says pointing to me. "Your hair is ramen" He touches it and we both smile. Charlotte and Hollie whisper things to each other as I let Stephen do his thing. He stops touching my hair to say something else. "I like ramen" I laugh. "I like ramen too. That's why it's my hair now" Stephen lets out a big laugh.

"How old are you bud?" I ask curiously. "15" Stephen points to her sister. "Hollie is 14. Hollie is my favorite person in the world" He smiles as his eyes slowly come off the ground to my eyes. I had the feeling he thought of me as a close person since our eyes met.

It was time to say goodbye to the limelights and let them go find their places for the concert. Stephen and Hollie said bye to us with smiles bigger than the smiles they first had when meeting us. The boys, Charlotte, and I went backstage once everybody was out of the room, getting our microphones and clothes prepared and ready.

The time went pretty fast, and soon enough, it was show time.

(A/N - Hey guys! So for this chapter, I wanted to dedicate it to my younger brother who has Autism. He recently told me he is starting to like Why Don't We, so why not create a chapter when Jack meets a boy with Autism!  ) *sorry for any incorrect spelling*
